Good song not a 10/10 song though, I'd give it an 8/10. I think it gets more love because it's one of the very few 'serious' or 'good' songs on Encore. Only 10/10 on Encore is his verse on Spend Some Time, classic (GOAT verse).

I agree, it's his best song on the album imo. I just love how smooth his flow is on here. He's basically talking to you with a soothing rhythm. Better than any song on Relapse or Recovery.

There isn't anything on Encore worth listening to. There are bits and pieces of songs. But There is no song i enjoy fully.

1. Evil Deeds- Beat was OK, song had some strong points. As a whole...meh. Also, "that rich bastard needs to take some of that cas out of the bank and take a bath in it. If only I had half it" Are you trying to imply that you aren't rich enough to buy everything in the world you fat pill head?
2. Never Enough - Love Em's verse, Nate dogg was solid, 50 ruined it
3. Yellow Brick Road I like the beat well enough. Chorus is pretty good. Verses just flat, nothing there..
4. Like Toy Soliders - yeah rap beef, benzino,ja,50...*falls asleep
5.Mosh- politics talk annoys me, bush blah blah
6. Puke - It's amazing to think Dre and Em listened to this shit and was like LET'S PUT THIS ON AN ALBUM
7. Rain Man - Not horrible, but it still sucks. Last verse sums up the entire album "I just made a whole song and I didn't say shit"
8. Big Weenie - I hate this song because he sounds so boring and medicore through this entire shiity song, then out of no where he says "That's just what you wanted to hear from me Is that I fucked up ain't it? But I can bust one take without lookin' at no paper" Great couple lines, had some passion in his voice. It was like he was just teasing us. HEY I CAN RAP IF I WANT TO, BUT I'M A FAT DRUG ADDICT SO FUCK YOU

I'm not even going to waste anymore time talking about this piece of shit album. I would like to say fuck spend some time. Shitty ass high pitched crap chorus and all of the horrible verses from everyone not named Eminem. 10/10? Have you listened to the song?

If you actually read what I said, then you'll see that I said Eminem's verse is 10/10, never once did I say the actual song was 10/10. Sorry "Slim Cary", you just sound like a mad stan right now.

Spend Some Time was the only verse that had a decent level of lyricism on the album. Like Toy Soldiers is a hopeless track.

Better than any song on Relapse or Recovery? what the fuck :confusion: :confusion: :confusion: :confusion: :confusion: :confusion: :confusion:

I love it, but more for what he's saying and how nicely he made his voice go with the drums than anything else.

Like Toy Soldiers is one of my top 20 favorite Eminem songs of all time. Definitely a classic. I hope Em writes some stuff like this on his next album.

It's one of his most boring songs to me.

And one of my least favourite on the album - I can see how it would be a good song to many, "cause itz meaningfulz, haz hart man, I can relatez" etc. but just his voice and the subject-matter... it's a snooze fest to me, but the intent is at least admirable.

The way Em used that sample, and the imagery behind it is good though.

I'd probably rate it 6/10.

It's dope for the album but overall its just a decent, good to listen to track but nothing special imo. It's def a cool beat and sample plus a good song for the subject but idk

I used to like it when I was younger but it has no replayability for me these days. I don't even want to give it a chance, doesn't sound appealing.

That's not at all what makes it a good song to me. I truly appreciate the calm rhythmic flow and smooth delivery of the song. It's a nice difference in tone from anything that is on Recovery, except maybe Going Through Changes.

And lol I knew I would push some buttons with that Relapse & Recovery comment :sweating:

Recovery doesn't have anything to do with it though. The song is pretty weak mayne.

Slim Cary: When he says "if I only had half of it" he is impersonating a person that wishes they had half his money lol then he says "if you only knew the half of it" in his own words this time
