Am I crazy to say Insane is Em's best post-comeback song?

[Emadyville]

I played this song around someone who was actually abused by their stepfather

classic

it was more a tribute then i suppose

Go listen to it before replying

- Normal voice
- Story telling (rapping as other people to spice it up as well)
- Relaxed / smooth singing voice on the hook
- Crazy rhymes
- Shock value
- Awesome flow
- Funny, classic Shady lyrics and overall feel
- Dre beat

Yeah, it's definitely up there for me. When I think of Eminem I think of the SSLP-TES days, because most of my favourite music is from him during that period. Now I'm not one of those people who think everything post-comeback is awful because it "isn't as good" as that previous material. I love a lot of his newer stuff and I even bump Throw It Up lol.

I think Insane gives that classic feel though. If he dropped this song today, I guarantee it'd get a lot more love than it gets right now because it's lost in the album full of "bad accents".

This just urged me to look at another song that I, myself, consider his best song since comeback. Going Through Changes off of Recovery;

-Normal Voice
-Perfect Story Telling and revisiting of past memories, hardships, and conflicts
-Nice sample song and Eminem hook
-Great Rhymes, no filler
-Closure with many things including Eminem's relationship with Kim
-Unforgettable organic and natural beat
-Four verses, all building upon and seemingly superior to the last
-Perfect Delivery
-Classic, yet modern introspection by Em's Marshall side
-Avoids all instances of incest rape

This is the song that, for me, shows me that Eminem still has it. This is the 'post-overdose' recovery song. It's like whatever Eminem was trying to do with Recovery, no matter what can be said, he nailed the message in this song. I see this as an anthem for the Recovery-era Eminem music onward. Everything about this song just hits home for me. Great beat, great lyrics, great meaning, no bad punchlines, no yelling, no filler lines.

Deja Vu is another stratosphere.

Insane is enjoyable though, really easy-listening. It'd probably top 5, if not top 8.

[Emadyville]

Agreed with that too. ^ Going Through Changes is amazing and up there with his best.

agreed with the previous post and, the more i hear about this song on here the more i enjoy it

[BigBoss]

I force my soldiers to listen to Not Afraid, it rids their fear of death.

[Kill You]

Going Through Changes is just...that classic song that everyone was waiting for. Nothing bad about it at all. Dope song all around. I consider it better than Insane...

The song is perfect.

glad to see I have a shared opinion

Insane definitely has some impressive rhyming and a good beat, but there have been better songs since his comeback IMO. Just on that album, I'd say "Same Song and Dance," "3am," "Stay Wide Awake," "Deja Vu" are all better.

Stay Wide Awake is one of the best displays of lyrical ability ever. Second verse rhyme pattern is absolutely mind blowing.

Going Through Changes isn't my favorite song off Recovery, but in a way it could definitely be his best, if you look at each aspect of it. So yeah, you're right.

I just enjoy songs like "Cold Wind Blows", "Underground", "Untitled", "Music Box", "Stay Wide Awake" and "Almost Famous" more. But technically I think GTC probably beats them all.

I feel the same way. I actually hardly listen to it because I'm not exactly an "emotional" type of person so songs like that don't hit me that hard. That's probably why I enjoy Richard so much and the songs you mentioned. But you're right, GTC is probably the best song on Recovery. Not my favorite to listen to but I can accept that it's arguably the best on the album.

Well, that second verse is fuckin' golden, his delivery and flow on that are incredible. Honestly, for me vocally that's up there with anything Em has done; perfect cadence, energy, clarity, immaculate breath control, the way he works the beat - phenomenal stuff

Deja Vu and Microphone freestyle (if it counts) take the cake for me

[Atone]

His best comeback song is Crack A Bottle
