Eminem - Berzerk (MMLP2 Single)

[[Kartik]]

Have to say, this Song is so Catchy

[SliK]

I don't think it's a reference to Without Me.

._. The pad and on the rag thing is straight from Without Me, dude.

"Cos I'm back, I'm on the rag and ovulating"?

Bit of a reach bro.

[Monroe19]

there are more positive reactions to the song then negative

[Monroe19]

WHEN is the video coming out ? I keep seeing it's coming out today or tomorrow.I really hope so omg

[DanWS]

I think the song is absolute genius. It's a perfect first single for an MMLP sequel. Think about it... he's making fun of people. He's calling out the shit rappers. He's being clever. It's all pointing towards a sick album; MMLP-esque.

Verse 1
He's arriving at the party (the rap game) and it looks wack. Okay. So Em's like "I'm 'bout to kick it"... It's his turn. He's about to turn these critics to crickets. He's about to bring back the vintage Slim (bitch!) - Shit's about to get real with this album. This song is just a fucking teaser for the bombshell that is the MMLP2.

Hook
He's gonna rock the house (again, the rap game) so turn his shit up loud. He's about to go berzerk.

Verse 2
He's going after the people who attack him for his image. Simple enough. But he's attacking back. His stupid lyrics in this verse are intentional. He's making fun of those shit flows and stupid lyrics in mainstream rap. He's like "dumb it down, I don't know how, how" etc. He can't. All he knows how to be is dope. And he admits he doesn't know how to dumb it down. But then he asks if "you bozos" (mainstream rap) are smart enough to feel stupid that they don't know how to be dope? He hopes so... I think this verse is fucking brilliant.

Verse 3
Last verse of the song, or the teaser. Why not give us a little extra taste of what's to come? Reference after reference. Joke after joke. Subtlety after subtlety. Vintage Slim.

Berzerk is fucking clever as fuck, catchy, smart, and dope. I love it. Don't view this song as a single, view it as a little glimpse as to how awesome MMLP2 will be. He's just letting us know ahead of time.

And YOU motherfuckers said this was Encore II. Eedee Da Gawd. Name a poster he ain't influenced.

And YOU motherfuckers said this was Encore II.

Because of the lazy, gibberish babble in verse 2? Lol. He's doing it on purpose in this song. Encore was just... well, we won't talk about it.

Berzerk is currently no.11 on the US itunes, I hope it can top Billboard but I really doubt it

It most likely will. It's Eminem, and a lot of people wanna hear "Crazy Slim" and searching around for casual listeners, people are loving the FUCK outta this. So if it doesn't hit #1 immediately, the video'll get it there.

I'm at a point where I don't care how I think of it, I just want the general public to love it so the album won't flop. And yeah I agree, a video should elevate the fuck out of this! Em said the single will be released with the video, so that should be like today or tomorrow maximum, unless they changed their plans or something

Naw, it won't flop. You should see the praise the song's getting outside of Hip Hop forums/Rap heads. Everyone's at LEAST saying it's better than anything on Recovery, so even if they say it's trash, calling it better than Recovery is something positive (And I love Recovery, but still).

[EminemBase]

It had me confused at first... just so much to digest...

But it sounds pretty fucking badass to me now...

Definitely a grower.

And not like it hasn't been said... but that hook is so brilliant. He says different shit each hook too... it's a pretty good ass song fams. Still listening, I love the playfulness though.

Sarcasm is him.

Super self-serious "I'm free from addiction RAWR"... AIN'T!

[Suzanne.s]

I don't get this, he has more rating than Katy, but still she's number one, weird, her buyers don't rate. she has 800, he 2000.
