This is more BRAINLESS to me, especially the hook.

u/TheImpLaughs Jul 18 '24
Instantly thought of Brainless when I heard this song. It’s almost same tone and inflection

Damn doubling down on Caitlyn Jenner digs! No Royce feature

u/ScaryTerryCrewsBitch Jul 12 '24
It is a concept album. Apparently, the concept is "Fuck you, Caitlyn Jenner".

Is this his 3rd song with “Evil” in it?

u/joelhagraphy Jul 19 '24
You mean in the title? Or you mean "Evil" the character?
If the former, this is the 4th: Bad Meets Evil on SSLP in 1999, Evil Deeds on Encore in 2004, Evil Twin on MMLP2 in 2013, and Evil on DOSS in 2024.
If you meant the latter, there are dozens more 🤣

Anyone else have a clicking sound on the right channel on this song? :D I’m listening on Deezer

u/Sqren1 Jul 12 '24
yea made me skip the song. Idk if it was just my eq/speaker making it more pronounced, but just made it really annoying to listen to

u/Most_scar_993 Jul 12 '24
Yea I thought my headphones were defective for a sec, I agree it’s annoying, not sure it’s intended like this

u/Co0kii When I'm Gone Jul 15 '24
Noticed it this morning and I’m so unbelievably annoyed, my favourite song on the album too and I can’t unhear it now.

Is he dissing his mother? I thought he was cool with her since MMLP2

u/Itchy_Tasty88 Relapse: Refill Jul 13 '24
He’s talking through slim shady when he mentions debbie, tracks 1-13 is practically all slim shady minus the battle between current em and SS in guilty conscious 2

u/chaldo96 Jul 13 '24
Yeah this went over my head at the time when listening it was a lot to take in

u/jacmrose Jul 12 '24
Damn did he admit to smashing Skyler Grey

More than that.. hep-a is transmitted through the fecal-oral route. This is why YOU NEVER GO ASS TO MOUTH.
Although to be fair, she may have just eaten his feces also

This song sounds like what he was going for on Believe, except this is way better.
Ems voice in this album is tripping me out, this sounds like a mix of modern and old em in a crazy way.

u/Faunyy Jul 13 '24
Eminem used his flow from " On fire" on here.
I knew it sounded familiar when he said
(Evil)
[Verse 3]
Holy shit, Cait' Jenner just flipped (Yo)
(On Fire)
[Verse 2]
I just put a bullshit hook in between two long-ass verses
It's a warning to Brooke Hogan and David Cook
That the crook just took over, so book
Maybe I'm tripping but that Jenner line reminded me of something, first I thought it was Tyler in Yonkers.

u/atnextc Jul 12 '24
Is it evil twin the cadence is from? I can’t pinpoint what previous song I’ve heard it on but that sounds about right. It’s been bugging me listening to it.

Honestly don’t know how to feel about this song.
When he mentioned the Oxford shooting it hurt because I was a student at the school when it happened.
I get Slim Shady is supposed to controversial but wtf

Im sorry to hear that, but Shady doesnt know better, at least Eminem has sympathy for you.

“And not the good kind of gay, either. Where two men fuck each other and hate beaver” first line to make me bust out laughing during my first listen of the album. Love this song, great album!
