Well... when he comes in with "...PRETEND he even had a friend to say was his friend", that gave me goosebumps when I first heard it, and it still sounds awesome...
He should definitely do the calm to angry emphasis more often, as he's usually one or the other... but when he uses a variance like that, it catches you off-guard and gives a contrast that sounds amazing.
Like his 2012 Coachella performance of "I Need a Doctor", he starts out rapping soft-spoken and then comes in major angry with "YOU PICKED ME UP WHEN I WAS AT MY LOW-EST"
Sounds really fucking good. Is probably his best post'Relapse,pre'Recov verse I think too... I think "Drop the World" verse is more enjoyable maybe though.
Only thing I don't like about the "Airplanes II" verse is some of the lazy lines like "and just lazy as shit", that whole bit and using shit over and over just sounds like it was the first thing he wrote and he went with it, some lazy phrasing; compared to when he normally crafts and rewords.
