WHADDAYECHOOSE?

How would 5/10 be a classic?

It's clearly out of 5.

so 4/5 = 8/10

:wave:


You know what I meant, it was a typo, should've been 4/5 :sweating:

When it first came out I hated it. But I think thats mainly because I was expecting something like Deja Vu but better....

Then this came out and I was like...Goddamn...He's slippin....

But now I really like the first verse...the chorus is pretty weak still, and the second and third verses are decent.

I was on rap basement an noticed this world play he did with the king line.

King/Lied through your teeth/Fuck your fillins/Crowned and Capped....

Play on words...and its nice.

Great wordplay, but I liked that "Quit playin with scissors and shit, and cut the crap" better. I dont know, I just love hearin it.

The play on words that I didn't catch right away is the "fuck the Earth, pull my dick from the dirt, fuck the universe" part.
That's like a double, triple meaning!

Fuck the Earth can mean-
a. a statement of defiance
b. literally having sex with earthen soil

He has the urge to pull his dick from the dirt-
a. an expression denoting picking up the pieces of one's life
b. literally taking his penis out of the Earth

Fuck the universe
a. a stronger statement of defiance
b. having sex with things far more prodigious than Earth

Fuck (sexual) can also mean something similar to "pwn".

Put it all together, and that's one blockbuster example of linear wordplay.

Got ya, the pull the dick from the earth part only meant actually pullin his dick from the earth...so thats why I didnt get the triple meaning...

@ Mikenufc - Me and you both picked 2. Its like I said, anybody who is a hip hop fan will be dissapointed with the song, but Eminem fans will love it.

Explains why GGGG thinks its the best song he's heard by eminem. He doesnt care for rap much ( from what I gather ) but likes em.
