I love the way he says the lines:

"He did it
He made it
He's finally famous"

at the end of the 3rd verse :worship:

uh, a few things sorta sidetracked his vocal range lessons between TIC and almost famous....like say, his childhood best friend got murdered, he got divorced (again) and he almost died in his bathroom. just fyi

True. But does it take away ANYTHING from my statement? No. K then.

First time I heard it, I just sat there. EmBase said it best, the way this song just explodes into your face is like there was just an atomic bomb set off in the studio. Top notch lyricism, punches, flow and the storytelling is fuckin intense. I love how he takes us back to his underground days then as soon as he gets signed. Awesome shit.

The intro too, it's like "Rap God" with the way it builds up the suspense then BANG.


Menzo, I respect your opinion on this site more than any others, and I just can't agree with you here. He just doesn't keep a constant theme in this song. He gets completely sidetracked by puns in this song, and the song doesn't flow correctly in my opinion. Had he kept the original idea to the song going the whole song, I would have loved it, but he didn't. If this song was written a year earlier, in the relapse days, I think it would have been better just because he would have skipped the puns, or, if he had written it two years later, it would have been WAY better b/c the concept was awesome, just like bad guy, rhyme or reason, etc. For these reasons, I don't listen to it much. It's honestly in my bottom 5 recovery songs, but I don't hate it. I just disagree with the love of it.

And comes again
That ain't me
He's just a friend who pops up now and again
So don't blame me, blame him
