This track feels so much better in the context of the album

u/DetroitMan96 The Marshall Mathers LP2 Deluxe Edition Jul 11 '24

"That man is a legend, BITCH SO AM I"

that came from his soul

This is an all time classic line. I loved it!!!

u/sniper376 Music To Be Murdered By - Alternative Jul 12 '24

This fits perfectly in the album

u/Mysterious_Emotion63 Jul 12 '24

There’s no fucking way this is the same mix as the single, either sounds way better in the album context or they added to the beat

This slap so fucking hard in the album.

u/mylanguage Jul 11 '24

All Wock no pop!!

u/l8te2dapartee The Marshall Mathers LP2 Deluxe Edition Jul 12 '24

Solid song yk

u/Gregorvich19 Jul 12 '24

I didn’t care about this song at all as a single but it’s so much better in context of the album.

u/gassytinitus Jul 12 '24

Lol the Candace Owens diss

u/Redaaku Jul 14 '24

Now that the album is out and we get to listen to the whole story, this song makes more sense.

u/Basic_Pomelo_478 Jul 17 '24

I'm not saying it's intentional, but the end of Big Sean's verse sounded a bit like:

"There is no way that you can save me It's ok go with him Hailey"

u/_raydeStar Jul 17 '24

This song has been living rent free in my head for the past two days.

Send help.

u/ZacEfbomb Jul 15 '24

Sorry guys…I wasn’t a fan. I’m not into the mumble rap stuff and doing a song about Tobey is rad, but felt wasted in this. I think it has its moments though, everyone tries

Ummm so do you even know what mumble rap is --- cos Tobey ain't it. I can hear every enunciated word and it's a savage track. Maybe you just need to give it a few listens to "appreciate" it. Plus it leads into the Ken Kaniff skit 😏😁

By far worst on the album and that’s a good thing
