My top 10 verses in "Recovery"

Postby RainMan44 » Jan 30th, '11, 08:07

10. 1st verse on "Untitled"
Packed with multies. Some good punchlines. That 'Shady' feel to it.

Girl I think, you just might'a tried to pull a muh'fucking fast one, I'm mad
You just hurt my goddamn feeling, and that was the last one I had
Does this look like an arcade? Tryna play games? See this saw blade?
See the silhouette of a stalker in your walk-way? Better co-operate
Or get saute'd and rotisseried while you're hog-tied
MC's get so quiet you can hear a muh'fucking dog whistle while I walk by
'Colt Seavers' on a mule, stuntin on that ass like the fucking Fall Guy
I don't gas my Mercedes after midnight, man I treat it like a Mogwai
Cuz it will turn into a Gremlin and run over kids, women & men
Vrinn-vrinn! Motor's so big you can fit a midget in his engine
Bitch, give me them digits while you're cringin'
Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin
While I spend spend even ten cents on you, since when
Do you think it's gonna cost me a pretty penny? Shiit, if I think a penny's pretty
just imagine how beautiful a quarter is to me
Eenie meenie miney mo, Catch an eskimo by his toe, while he's trying to roll a snowball
But, don't make him lose his cool, if he hollers better let him go ya'll

9. 2nd verse on "Won't Back Down"
Again, good multies. Some good punches. The whole intensity is great. (I chose this over the 1st verse, although the "calm batman/combat man" line had it in the running)

8. 3rd verse on "W.T.P"
I love this whole song. It has that funny side of Em that we usually see in singles. A video for this would have been amazing, if he had gone line by line and acted it out....would without a doubt be his best/most entertaining video to date.

7. 1st verse on "Cold Wind Blows"
Rhyming is nice, I love the multies. I love the "cocksucker" line..I love the "right or wrong/light a bong/write a song" rhyme scheme and jab at Mariah.

6. His whole verse on "No Love"
Epic. Some wack punchlines, but the intensity and flow are just amazing. Wayne puts out his best verse in a couple of years, but even Em at his average level outshines Wayne at his great level.

5. 2nd verse on "Almost Famous"
I picked this verse because of this segment of the verse:
"I'm back for revenge
I lost a battle that ain't happenin' again
I'm at your throat like strep, I step, strapped with a pen
Metaphors wrote on my hand, some are just stored in my mem
-ory, some I wrote on a nap
-kin, I do what I have to to win"
Takes me back to some "8 Mile" shit.

4. 1st verse on "On Fire" (2nd one is great also)
The multies are jaw-dropping. My favorite part is:

"Shit, dissin' me is just like pissin' off the Wizard of Oz
Wrap a lizard in gauze beat you in the jaws with it, grab the scissors and saws
Then, cut out your livers, gizzards, and balls
Throw you in the middle of the ocean in the blizzard with jaws"

^THAT, ladies and gentleman, is what he was trying to accomplish in "Relapse" but didn't..that is "Shady"

3. 1st verse on "25 To Life"
First 2 bars are my favorite. It gets even better as the verse goes on..great song.

2. 2nd? Verse on "Cinderella Man" (Can't really distinguish where a chorus ends and where a verse begins in this song :angry: )

This part is fucking AMAZING.

"Raise em high in the sky, keep em up, time to bring the place alive,
Thanks for bein' patient, I will make no more mistakes, shit my
Potatoes baked, homie the veggies on my plate can fly
My filet is smoking weed, yeah faggot the stakes (steaks) are high
Shit I aint even suppose to be here, but by the grace of god,
The skin on my teeth, and the hair on my nuts, I skated by
Now y'all are on thin ice with ankle weights, I hate to lie
How fuckin irritated are you, how much in ya face am I?"

1. Last verse on "Going Through Changes"
"Wake up in the hospital, full of tubes, plus somehow I'm pullin' through.
Swear when I come back I'ma be bulletproof."

I love the smoothness of the verse, the lyrics, and the emotion. Great song. Definitely top 25 for me.





Honorable mentions: 2nd verse on "Going Through Changes", 2nd verse on "You're Never Over", and yes....last verse on "Love The Way You Lie".....some people hate on this song...but the verses are pretty well written.


Anyway, if you've made it this far, thanks for reading..btw, just my opinions...


Agree/Disagree?




EDIT: JUST REALIZED I PUT THIS IN THE WRONG SECTION.... :facepalm
SORRY about that, one of the mods please move it ;)

"This dude doing this interview wants me to spin a few,
Lyrics while I tie my tennis shoes in the nude
A romantic interlude in a livin’ room,
In an inner tube with a dude with a bit of lube
Fuck that I’m sniffin’ glue, sippin' gin & juice,
And a little bit of paint thinner with my dinner too,
You better pay me for my bars like your rent is due,
Now hurry up and finish dude before I finish you."

I don't listen to the album enough to know for certain how I would arrange them, so instead of a top 10 I'll just name all of the verses I liked alot.

Seduction 3
No Love
Cold Wind Blows (All)
On Fire 1/2
Going Through Changes 2/4
Almost Famous (All)
Session One
So Bad 2
Love The Way You Lie 1
You're Never Over 2 (Minus 'Ketchup/Mustard')
Cinderella Man 1

25 To Life's verses are probably good but I'd have to listen to it more, which I have no intent of doing :smoking:

Maybe in that year...definitely.
And trust me, I was a HUGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Wayne fan from 2004-2008. (I hate him now, though)

I agree with the last verse on Going Through Changes as perhaps the best on the album. For me it's either that or No Love.

4. 1st verse on "On Fire" (2nd one is great also)
The multies are jaw-dropping. My favorite part is:

"Shit, dissin' me is just like pissin' off the Wizard of Oz
Wrap a lizard in gauze beat you in the jaws with it, grab the scissors and saws
Then, cut out your livers, gizzards, and balls
Throw you in the middle of the ocean in the blizzard with jaws"

^THAT, ladies and gentleman, is what he was trying to accomplish in "Relapse" but didn't..that is "Shady"

I know it doesn't matter, but "lizard in gauze" rhymes too ;)

My 10:

1.
last verse on You're never over
perfect way to honor the memory of Proof, R.I.P. :'(
"Proof you knew I’d come out of this slump, rise from these ashes
Come right back on their asses, and go Mike Tyson on these bastards" :worship: :worship: :worship:

2.
last verse on Going through changes
no explaination needed.

3.
2nd verse on Talkin' 2 myself
Love the whole song, how it describes his rock bottom, it's like "beautiful" from relapse, but this song is more uplifting and motivating than sad. My favourite part of the song is last part of 1st verse, but overall 2nd is better IMO
"one foot on the brake, one of the throttle
Falling asleep with writers block in the parking lot of Mcdonalds
But instead of feeling sorry for yourself, do something about it
Admit you got a problem, your brain is clouded
You're powdered long enough, It isn't them, its you, you fucking baby
Quit worrying bout what they do and do Shady, I'm fucking going crazy" :wub: :flutter:

4.
1st verse on Cold wind blows
just a brilliant way to kick off the album, doesn't fit the theme of the album, but is perfect anyway. Can't describe the feeling i got when first listened to this song/verse.
"I wan't my duck sicked mommy"
"give a fuck if it's right or wrong" <-- Shady era feeling

5.
last verse on 25 to life
me: :D -> :flutter: -> :worship: -> :o -> :worship:
em: :king:

6.
1st verse on Cinderella man w/ intro
when thinking of what em has been through, this song just warms me up inside :flutter:
"shit, I aint even supposed to be here
By the grace of god,
The skin on my teeth
And the hair on my nuts
I skated by"
"Time to bring the place alive,
Thanks for bein patient
I will make no more mistakes"

7.
last verse on Almost famous
:boxing:

8.
2nd verse on Going through changes
mini-version of "difficult"... mabye not :zipped:

9.
1st verse on Going through changes
really powerful verse, like an insight to the troubled life eminem lived during his "drug period"
"I look fat, but what do I care?
I give a fuck, only thing I fear, is Hailie,
I'm afraid if I close my eyes I might see her" touched me...

10.
3rd verse on Going through changes
"Daddy, don't you die on me, daddy, better hold your ground"

This list have not taken this into consideration:
Dope beat
flow
Multis

This list have taken this into consideration:
How I liked it !
:coffee:

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
