[Pre-song discussion] Obie x Em - Richard & untitled

[Kill You]

If anyone is expecting this song to be as good as their last collabs, they are raising the bar too high...I'm not worried about comparing this new song to old songs, I'm just glad we're finally getting another Em verse after so long. Anyone who keeps comparing new shit to old shit (for almost every artist out there) will be constantly disappointed.

Drips sucks though ^

[Stanforever]

Drips is underrated.i really like it.

[RNEGDE12]

wtf is with all the drips hate?

[Mr. Porter]

I don't think it's bad song, I just don' t really care for it. Least favorite off TES.

Business was the worst of TES.

Drips was great. Nice storytelling with great rhyming and an enjoyable flow.

Business was fucking great IMO. LOVE the song to bits

Em's verse on Drips was good, but I feel the song as a whole is lacking.

I think "Business" is a memorable track in his career.

It's not the best from The Eminem Show, but the rhyming and flow are totally badass on it. As are the lyrics. I think the most forgettable song from 'TES' is "When the Music Stops".

Anyway, on topic... I'm predicting that this song will have a chorus using the word 'Richard' as a dick pun / reference, or something trivial and petty, and I think the song will be about attitude and women. I think Em will have another aimlessly angry verse about women and food lmao.

And don't get me wrong, I actually fucking love the relentless anger of recent, and the hardcore flows... and I also find the endless misogyny fucking funny, as it's like he's totally indulging in character again, like back in his prime...

But he needs to get original now, enough.

It's almost like the subject-matter or concept of a song doesn't matter to rappers anymore. It's like, even if it has a creative hook or backbone... they just rap their same verses about themselves, women, money and respect that they do on every fucking song. Seriously like every rapper!

I just thought about that the other day, it's like... ffs what's going on. Think of A Tribe Called Quest, think of the concepts and depth, the dedication to topics, where's it all gone. Sigh.

Lol I love when Em raps about bashing bitches...it keeps reminding me that Shady is not 100% dead. That's what he used to rap about so fuck it. It just depends on execution. Songs like The Reunion and A Kiss work because of how he executed them and his word choice.

[Guess_Who]

I can't believe you guys made a 29 pages thread without having heard the song yet...

It'll probably be 50 pages by the time Bottom's Up actually comes out or leaks.

^ You can hear Em come in at the very end of the snippet, as they would do...

And I think he begins by saying "if God..."

[Kill You]

The Richard beat sounds...different than I had imagined...I dunno if I like it yet.
