    Woo, his verse sounded stale. Dre reference, staccato lines, tired chorus.

    Shoot, that sounds exactly like he’s losing fuel.

    Does anyone know what the critical reception of the song is?

    Am I way off base here?

        Definitely, that was an educational video.

        I did like the other rappers, it was specifically Eminem I thought sounded slower, but the explanation of the lyrics really made.

        I was definitely commenting on the technical speed and repeated topics rather than on any of the context that I had no knowledge of.

        Everything make a lot more sense and I can see how it would be a way more interesting and engaging song If I had known any of that.

        Thanks, I appreciate it.

      It just dropped at midnight so who knows yet. If that’s always been your stance I doubt you’re off base.

      The entire album is going to sound dated to probably 90% of the fediverse audience other than some maga and Candace Owens bars lol. Also pretty sure he’s semi shadow banned on Apple Music at least from what I’m seeing.

        I haven’t really heard anything from him in a while, but I’m surprised at how tired he sounds here.

        Shadow banned on Apple music?

        How does that happen?

        And why?

        Dish any deets.

          I don’t agree with him sounding tired, the references are deliberate as the whole theme of the album is fighting between slim shady and Eminem.

          He goes back to a lot of the old slim shady dropping all the words that most people on Lemmy hate hearing or reading.

            Oh I see.

            Thanks, I didn’t get that.

            I have to listen to a recent album all the way through to get a better feel for what he sounds like now.
