The shit is one of his best songs since MMLP1 period, and one of his best ever.
The feel to it is so fucking cool, the lyrics are brilliant and the flow is pure addiction.
And the hook >>>>>>>
RoR, Rap God, So Far & Rap God, for me, show that he actually could continue that direction of semi-autobiographical/silly/light social commentary and it feels fresh and clever again. He just needs to stick to that new musical feel, RoR is perfect for me, he could really epitomise this feel but the only problem is since he already made MMLP2... he can't really top this with attitude as an album, as it'll look like that shoulda been MMLP2.
I agree! Some other just so fresh and classic Em IMO comes from Baby and Groundhog Day.
"Baby" is just orgasmic rap and some of the best rapping I have ever heard, period. It's just fucking brilliant. But also more of a ''standard Em song''. Doesn't feel fresh musically, but in terms of the quality of his performance on that... it's right up there, it's brilliant.
Then ''Groundhog Day'' just sneaks up on you how great it is. Initially I used to be ''meh'' about listening to it but when you actually do, the level of detail and density in his rhymes and ideas and how layered the shit is in terms of switching from thought to thought and the level of skill is BANANAS.
He's seriously on another planet with some of his latest talents.
Absolutely. Groundhog Day is one of those songs that just slowly builds up to a climax, and it's fantastic. I do wish he'd perform the song live.
