Well I would agree that "Forgot About Dre" is arguably one of the best songs on Chronic 2001 but I don't think "Guilty Conscience" is close to the best on SSLP.
It's a great concept which was executed very well but I could name just off hand a bunch on the album which I think shit on it... "Brain Damage", "97' Bonnie & Clyde", "Role Model", it's not even
arguably the best for me.
Say What You Say - Probably the worst song on TES. Is still a good song, but nothing to make you go'wow'
I disagree here. Worst song? Em's verses are fire and the verses Em wrote for Dre are nice too, they all play off each other non-stop, switching, it's fantastic.
Only thing bad about it is Dre's ridiculously loud beat again but I think it's a great song. N' Em definitely made me go 'wow' on it.
Encore - Nice catchy chorus with some nice bits here and there but again, doesnt match the feel that the 1999 tracks had and grinds on me.
Well aside from 50's as always abysmal appearance, I think this is a stellar track. Great chorus and great verses from Em. It feels very substantial and anthemic.
Crack A Bottle - I absolutey hate this track.
Poor verse from all 3 artists and annoying chorus
Well I hate this song again only because of 50. I don't know how you can call Em's verse poor.
"The elephants have entered the room"
It's great. It's a throwaway song and shouldn't of been on Relapse but it's only terrible thanks to 50.
Old Time Sake - I dont usually have a problem with 'that' accent but I just dont feel it is neccessary here and makes Em's verses unlistenable. Not a fan of the beat either.
I actually love this track. Guess it's just personal preference. I also think his flow is awesome.
Hell Breaks Loose - Probably the best of the lot since the '99 tracks. Nice beat, Em's verse is fire but IMO Dre's verse lets this down. Not bad but nothing special. Still a good song, but not a classic.
I actually hated this when I first heard it. It's since grown on me but not a favourite of their collabs.
Em's verses are cool but lazy in places but you say 'Dre's verses'. Well, either Em or somebody else wrote them for him so... I guess you could say Em let you down but he doesn't have too much to work with tbf. All people can ever write about Dre is how important his past shit is and how he smokes weed.

I also would like another great concept song from them before they bow out as a pair.
But not on R2. We have a limited selection of collabs for R2 so unless it's a concept like "Guilty Conscience" I'd rather see no Dre track.
We already have a 50 and a D12 track... That's two wasted already IMO. Since 50 is awful and the D12 will be same old unless they've reinvented themselves, which is unlikely.
All Em n Dre ever do is party shit where Em plays the crazy bad cop and Em writes Dre as the straight up good doctor who's still relevant and important. N' it's because Dre hasn't been for a long time because he's put out two albums in 18 years so that's all they can do.
I could do without the usual same old Dre track on R2. Already 3 possible generic tracks... Not good.
Say What You Say was pretty damn good. I admit, there hasn't been anything on the same caliber as Forgot About Dre, and I don't think there ever will be.
