I remeber feeling embarassed listening 2 this song on shade45 and switching it off half-way through. One of the only Em songs I genuinely cant stand. Production and hook are good. The valentines day line was nice too.

Not really. It's kind of funny, but it wears off after a couple of listens. The chorus is catchy, and beat is alright, and although the verses were well written, the content sucks. The Valentine's Day massacre line was about the only line I liked in the song. The rest of the song makes him sound kind of...gay. It's one of my least favorite songs by him, but I still think it's better than Fack. I'm glad that TMB isn't going to be on Relapse 2, because I'm pretty sure that would have been his first single if he didn't start from scratch. If Relapse 2 was like TMB, I would have no hope, so thank goodness that he's not going in that direction. Relapse 1 was better than TMB, We Made You was even better than TMB, even though TMB's chorus is better

I dunno, it just annoys me. It's funny, yeah, but it's not a good song

Came back to annihilate, the game's in dire straights, as I await
Word on Satan, as I drop, fall to my knees before this Quija board and I pray
Now I lay me down to sleep

Yep, agree. It's a fantastic song.

I don't know why people are comparing it to "Fack" they're two entirely different things. "Fack" is just pure stupidity, he could write and flow it in his sleep and the chorus is just... Well, silly.

"Taking My Ball" despite how stupid you may find the lyrics, is a very well versed / written song. It's also a beautifully layered chorus and a great little bit of playground philosophy. "I'm taking my ball and going home" @ the rap game / society... lmfao. It's class.

Oh by the way, it's "Totally DUBIOUS, sniffing glue...".

Yeah, great song though. One of his best choruses in a while too. Love it. Nothing like "Fack".

I like this song, it's meant to be funny and I laughed, it's a great "funny" song be em, not a great song by em. I look at it as a joking song, so I think based on that the song is great, I love the rhymes/flow and content of it.

And yeah comparing to fack is kinda dumb, that songs just so fucking random :sweating:
