"Kill You" is a Masterpiece

Postby EminemBase » Jan 20th, '10, 20:00

I know it may seem a bit silly to some to call a song called "Kill You" a masterpiece. But I really think this is. I mean just listening to it again now as I'm cutting it up for a mix I'm doing...

It's just the definition of vile meets beautiful lmao. The use of the silences, the immense flow, the manic irony, it's totally class. It's a decade old too and still feels ahead of its time.

He really outdid himself on this track. I still think he's yet to better this as his ultimate 'psycho' track maybe. It's also subversive, political, witty, personal... Fantastic.

It's just so crafted... So... Cinematic. It's Eminem on crack. It's an other-worldly track. Haha, I'm acting as if I just found this out but just of late, really appreciating this track again. Such great lyricism.

I'll listen to the song again and give you my opinion.

:y: Every time I listen to it its gets better, one of his best ''i'm joking around but i'm actually serious'' songs, perfect opener too, Em is one of the only rappers who could have made such a great track out of one of the most minimal beats ever!

Don't believe me, ask Michael

You see Biggie, see Pac, see success and its outcome
See Jesus, see Judas; see Caesar, see Brutus
See success is like suicide

tbh I think this is one of his obvious masterpieces, along with songs like "Marshall Mathers" and "Criminal", you could listen to almost every song from the first 2 albums and say the same, as you've mentined in threads before, there's that heavy wit that just hits you like a ton of bricks.

His flow is impeccable, indeed. The intro is delivered in a brilliant way as well. Rhyme scheme is off the wall, multies and internal rhyming is executed well. The ''Put your hands down bitch, I ain't gon' shoot you I'ma pull YOU to this bullet, and put it THROUGH you'' is a witty line, which makes the first verse just more enjoyable. The way he phrased the ''psycho'' content is great, it's a great track, indeed. An Eminem classic.

agree :y: The beat is so minimalistic and wierd (in a good way), wonder what went through Ems mind when he heard it :unsure: Em really knows how to paint a picture in his head!

Well, I don't care really what you're like on the inside and I just really want you to come to bed with me. Would you do that if you could? Even if you were just average on the outside (but not fat) I could like you if you sounded smart.

It was his biggest "fuck censorship" song. There was one live performance where the producers told him that he couldn't do it live... So he opened with it. :D

Wasn't that in London or somewhere in the UK? I remember watching a clip of Xzibit saying "they told him not to do the kill you song, I said fuck it, do it twice"

And yeah it's a great track.
