No. It is not obvious.
You had to listen to the verses, time them, and note it down to achieve that result. Henceforth it is not obvious and thus why the OP asked the question on an EMINEM forum.
For it to be obvious it would have to stare one straight in the face. Like the fact that you are a pretentious dick head. That is obvious.
For example, if someone asked "what is that Eminem song with Dido called?" obviously the answer is Stan. It doesn't require a basic knowledge of mathematics and an examination of different songs to prove.
Regarding you calling me stupid for stating "take out the hook from the former etc" I was simply instigating that if one reads the length of the track for songs that don't have a hook, a la the Sauce, then that does not indicate the length of the verse. This is obvious, but clearly people have made that mistake in this topic.
Have you ever read a car-manual? ( I am giving you the benefit of assuming you are old enough to drive). It is littered with obvious instructions which obviously cater to the masses. That was exactly what I was doing in my post: catering to those who perhaps lack the fundamental common sense.
So it was completely relevant for me to say that. You have just reiterated exactly what I said, only with the exact times of each verse. Well done. Why could you have not stated in your first post that 'The Sauce' was the longest? You could have saved yourself a lot of dribble. Have a drink, you're dehydrated.
(BTW, your timings are subjective. I CBA to look into it, but on the Warning Em starts rapping at 0.06 and finishes at 3.12. That would make the verse 3.06 long with the Mariah parts included. How does one decide if they count? For instance, Proof's verse of My Band gets broken up by "hey dude I love your band!" this enters a whole new field of discussion on whether a verse can be broken up like that. I mean take Superman. Em does the female voices, but they are still considered part of the verse. And before you start yapping about how idiotic it is that a verse can be broken up, i am merely opening this discussion to the floor)
"Oh, he'll give us what we need.
It may not be what we want."
