Which makes complete sense for a COD game: lots of noise, guitar, and white people screaming but ultimately not a substantial or quality piece of entertainment.


:facepalm :facepalm2

You don't think that Em's vocals are intense? Listen to the 3rd verse again.

WBD is a horrendous song. Everything about it is complete shit. Em's delivery, lyrics, song's production.


Theyre certainly trying to be intense, they sure want you to believe theyre intense.But they fall short, stan. Listen to WBD and then Survival. Do it right now. Survival might get you pumped to play a stupid game, but WBD makes you want to kick down your house.

Em's vocals have been criticized for being too loud and intense recently, but this is the first song in a while where I wish Em would have turned his vocals and rage up instead of down.

My point proved, thanks. WBD is so intense is causes a visceral reaction, like vomiting. Survival just elicits an emotions of "huh, that was pretty cool, ima go watch tv."

Other way around. Survival genuinely sounds like Em is fucking pissed i.e. "LIKE I GIVE A FUCK, I WILL LIGHT THIS BITCH UP LIKE I'M DRIVING A TRUCK THROUGH THE SIDE OF A PUMP!"

On the other hand, we have the clusterfuck that is WBD:

DON'T MAKE ME INTRODUCE YOU TO MAH POWA TOOLS U KNO DA FOOKIN DRILL

not sure if serious anymore, wbd is considered his worst song since his return and rightfully so. That shit is corny, and I don't normally say that for any artist.

No, he meant to drive stupid people to do stupid things (very MMLP-esque) which hopefully results in you killing yourself.

The ending :worship:

Also the parts where Em is on the top of the stairs in a navy hoody with the blonde hair he actually looks like he's 25 again. Christ.

Good video. Berzerk's is better though. And I have a love/hate relationship with that song in that I hate it but I also listen to it all the time.

Pretty convinced this is the bonus track though now. This is too CoD for it to be an Eminem single.
