I actually thought that line was pretty cool.
Better than him saying something like, "I stole that fucking clock, IN OTHER WORDS I TOOK THE TIME!!!"
It sounds cool, but it's just as bad as some people despise now. Thing is, back before
Recovery Em could drop weak punches and people would recognize it as a little addition to an otherwise solid verse. However, since his last album was unhealthily littered with tons of punchlines, from then onwards, people are going to scrutinize EVERY punchline - even ones that aren't meant to be jaw dropping or "dope" but just add to the song, like him saying "go Taz" or "Nomad with a notepad".
I know what you mean. It actually kinda ruins the songs for me now, ya know?
For example, I used to really enjoy Won't Back Down, but then everyone started criticizing the punches and pointing them out, and now I can't get through the song without cringing.
