Bar is so fire I'm surprised I never heard it beforeI kinda fukk with this. Em was decent.
"catch a stray like animal control"
He’s gonna forever win cause his fans will always support no matter what. Everything he mostly makes now sounds the same and there’s nothing new unless it’s some new flows he’s trying to unlock. But most of the time I can’t listen to the shyt he’s saying on songs cause there’s nothing he’s saying, he’s just rhyming for the sake of it.
Benzino was really out in the street and one of his weed carriers tried to kill Paul Pierce so it's forever fukk Benzino
i agree. i think em will always be more compelling when he actually has something to talk about (no matter how juvenile); i think his ability to convey a visual is criminally overlooked when it comes to what made him great. but i also respect it. he's dedicating himself to the craft of rapping and rhythm during an era when one of the main complaints is that rappers dont take the art of MC'ing seriously anymore. and after years of constantly living up to the pressure of carrying sales for interscope and aftermath, i would imagine it's liberating to know that no one's expecting him to drop a my name is/slim shady/without me/not afraid and shake shyt anymore. he can do whatever he wants now.
some people are handling this late career transition better when it comes to results (nas + hitboy). but i appreciate em for still trying to find a lane all these years later.
also... the reaction to em kinda justifies andre's hesitancy to take another swing. i'd rather embrace the legends for trying -- even if i dont fukk with it -- then tear them down and send them into hiding. at this point, whatever they give us is just a bonus.
Em is washed up and been washed up for about a decade, nobody care about what he says on a record unless it's some white boys who think he's the best ever.
And yet you stay talking about him more than any of his 'stans'.
Em ethered him lol
Wait Benzino was at cheap hotels with men sharing beds!?!?!?

The difference with Nas & Em is that he's actually making something worth listening to. Em is just screeching chalkboard rap at this point in his career. Too many yes men in his circle, this diss is one example.
breh. no one's disagreeing with you. i acknowledged what you're saying, i'm just not invested in shytting on em, or any other legend unless they earn it.
and i liked the diss. a lot. that's the best em has sounded in a while.
why? em is always miles better when he has a target/topic to focus his pen on. without one, he just focuses on his pen. his problem aint yes men. his problem is he's an exteme introvert that doesn't come outside anymore and has nothing to talk about as a result. the lions playoff run is the most visible and engaged em has been since... shyt, i couldn't even tell you.
