Rock Bottom vs. If I Had

Postby Fa-Q » Aug 24th, '10, 16:36

Both are loved by most Eminem fans but I lean towards Rock Bottom for several reasons

1) If I Had is very simple lyrically and has some lyrics that dont seem to be well thought out ie "Fart and cough." Rock Bottom on the other hand is amazingly lyrically and multi wise is top notch.

2) Emotionly it sounds like If I Had he was just mad and in Rock Bottom it sounds truly sad

3) If I Had's beat is way too loud compared to his voice

So Rock Bottom Wins by a landslide for me

Oh man, no contest.
Rock Bottom destroys If I Had!

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.

:laughing:

Rock Bottom for the win

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
I do this shit in my sleep, I’m sleepin' now, imagine if I awake

If I Had

Rock Bottom is mega dope & all but...
If I Had is very underrated just because of the slow feel or whatever

If I Had for me. The intro as someone else mentioned is great. Also, Rock Bottom is just depressing, whereas If I Had expresses sadness while at the same time delivering a somewhat uplifting "fuck the world" message. And the chorus being a sarcastic version of the Barenaked Ladies song is awesome.
Caution to the wind, complete freedom. Look at these rappers, how I treat 'em, so why the fuck would I join 'em when I beat 'em?

If I Had for me - Rock Bottom is better technically, but where I'm at right now I can really relate to If I Had
Still, both tracks are some of the realest stuff you're ever going to hear on a rap album
Same sword they knight you they gon' good night you with
Sh.., Thats' only half if they like you
That ain't even the half what they might do
Don't believe me, ask Michael
See Martin, see Malcolm
You see Biggie, see Pac, see success and its outcome
See Jesus, see Judas; see Caesar, see Brutus
See success is like suicide
Suicide, it's a suicide
If you succeed, prepare to be crucified

Rock Bottom, I like the emotion behind it. The only thing that I don't like about If I Had is that at the end he says "know what I'm sayin" like a hundred times.
"Ever notice how similar my hair is to Mr. T's? The only difference is mine is a little more 'mo,' a little less 'hawk.'"
