I see a theme developing.
Yeah, me to. I don't like the idea of this thread so soon because of this reason. I think this should have waited till after the album is dropped to start comparing, atleast it will have a chance that way.
I get it's about comparing the singles right now, but it's not fair to compare a song like Stan, that has been out for over 10 years and is a cemented classic to a song like Rap God, that's only been out for 2-3 days. Being that they're 2 completely different songs, it's obvious which song is going to win that pissing match.
I think Berzerk and The Real Slim Shady are the only song's for far that have any room to be compared and I don't even think they're the same type of song besides "Vintage Slim" coming back.
I'm all for comparing them when we hear everything and "rap genius" the words just because I know it's going to happen, but if this is any sign as to how the album will be compared after we here it in it's entirety, I have a bad feeling that MMLP2 will never be given the credit it may (or may not) deserve. Why pick apart and beat down a great lyric in one song just because it isn't better than a certain lyric in the comparative song that's over 10 years old? Sorry just doesn't make sence to me.
If I had it my way, they would never be compared, just looked at as 2 classic albums, assuming that MMLP2 will be a classic and from hearing Rap God, I think the chances are great. Taking under consideration that this may be is last "go for broke" album, it's a shame that it's being negatively compared so soon.
Sorry for the story...just wanted to get my thoughts down now that theres not 200 people trying to post at the same time.
