Almost Famous

Postby DetroitSkills » Feb 4th, '14, 23:21

Whats yalls opinion on it? http://rapgenius.com/Eminem-almost-famous-lyrics
Im curious because ppl i know in real life diss n underate it because of the recovery yelling n the 1st verse.
I personally love the song, its enjoyable to bump and does its job as a good pump-up anthem, the beat, flow, etc.
That 3rd verse :worship: i love the way it ends suddenly, sort of like rabbit run, or rap god.

"If I gotta scream 'til I have half a lung
If I had half a chance I'd grab it — Rabbit, run
"

"So bear witness to some biblical shit
As a cold wind blowing this world ain't gonna know what hit it
He did it, he made it, he's finally famous
"

"And make her fall on her face and don't be a retard
Be a king? Think not, why be a king when you can be a God?
"

Maybe its just me its like he just rapes the track n drops the mic like,
Image

"The bullies become bullied, the pussies get pushed
Then they better pull me, take me back to 9th grade to school me
Cause I ain't looking back, only forward, this whole spot blowing
Who could've known he'd grow to be a poet and not know it
"

I like the beat, the hook and the lyrics. Em's delivery is annoying to me, though.

I love the "all these haters are menime's eminem backwards!" one of his best lines on recovery imo.

Singin' "Bagpipes from Baghdad" again
In my dad's drag draggin' a faggot in a Glad bag
Won't be the last time I make a dramatic entrance like that again
You thought I was lyin' when I said I think that I'm crossin' the line again
I've lost my mind, caution oh God I think I've just thought of another fucking line
Forgive me father, for I have sinned
But hip hop has left me brainwashed with a violent streak

It's one of my few favorite ones on Recovery.

I love this part...

I stuck my dick in this game like a rapist
They call me Slim Roethlisberger
I go bezerker than a fed-up post-office worker
I'm Erkel with a Mossberg
I'm pissed off get murdered

I love the antidisestablishmentarianism line. Pretty corny but always thought it was funny and appropriate. Man, I love this song.

I just realized I haven't listened to Recovery since MMLP2 dropped... maybe even like a couple of months before that.

I have actually listened to TSSLP, TMMLP, TES, Relapse & few other albums along with MMLP2 since it dropped 'cuz they're in the CD changer in my car... It's definitely time to hit Recovery too though. I'm on it tomorrow.

Never hit someone unless you got a reason. If there ain't a reason, make one up and start swinging.

It'd be my favourite on Recovery, but his delivery wasn't that good.
