this is probally the most hated song on God Son and its cuz of that horrible Em beat
9th tool this trash souless track and gave it soul
only wish we had an explicit version
True indeed, 9th sent some generic boom bap bullshyt in for that one.The Eminem version is better. God's Stepson is the definition of "soulless". He wasted his time...
Em's version was good..I understand the Eminem is a horrible producer but this track was more than fine...
Yeah, that song need an intense beat, not something bright and soulful. Nas was talking about his struggles and being persecuted at messianic levels. It doesn't really work on a dissonant level, either.Neither version is classic. 9th's version is a better beat, but what his remixes lacked was capturing the intensity, urgency, and emotion of the originals. Eminem's beat is plodding and boring, but it fit.
Gods Stepson joint always rubbed me the wrong way
God's Son album was a personal album dedicated to his recently passed mother
9th shoulda had more self awareness not to do that shyt....but the Nas hate was palpable at that time
