Lighters...

Postby mwm5952 » Dec 16th, '12, 05:35

Ok, I understand the hate of em collabing with Bruno... I hate it too. However, I particularly like this verse a lot and wonder where the hate is coming from. Is it just the collab with Bruno? Is it the content? I don't think it could be the rhyming, but do y'all not like the rhyming? Is it the fact that its one of, if not the only, em song that has a major chord in it?

I know the song has a poppy feel to it but I feel like em killed the verse and while he is spitting you forget that Bruno is on the hook.

Thoughts?

I love this song. It's absolutely brilliant.

Em's flow and rhyming is top notch, IMO.

The way he has that two syllable "rib-cage" rhyme going, as well as the subtle inverse of "bullshit / thick skulls" ... love it.

I also get chills when the beat amplifies when he says:

I swear to God I’ll be the fuckin’ illest in this music

Song is ok. It does not belong on a BME project. it would be better if it was just a single.

^ I agree with that. It didn't fit the feel of the album at all, or anything that Em and Royce have ever done for that matter. I also agree that the song is just ok, but I do like the Em verse a lot.

...is still gay. Em's verse is okay but he sounds so fuckin' awkward on it.

Song is great, and Em's verse is GOAT.

Royce doesn't fit on this track.
I don't want you to be-lieve,
Cause this is something that I must use, to suc-ceed,
And if you don't like me then fuck-you,
Self-e-steem, must be fuckin' shootin' through the roof,
cause trust me,
My skin is too thick and bulletproof to touch me
I can see why the fuck I dis-gust you,
I must be allergic to failure, cause every time I come close to it,
I just sneeze but I just go a-choo, then a-CHIEVE

I really disliked that song because of him. I even edited his portion out.

I had a hard time reducing his part from the song, too. Come to think of it, Bruno has equal presence on the song as compared to the actual verse. lol

Because both of them made Lighters look like an fruit basket.
