[@zuton_]

@@KushDreams420 yeah after Em made him switch genres. Plus that line was referencing how Em giving Kelly attention is what made him popular, but now he’s known for trying to start beef with one of the greats, and losing.

[@zuton_]

@@KushDreams420 so you believe that MGK won the beef? I can respect that we have different opinions. But MGK talked about Marshals daughter. That’s what started the beef. Then Kelly dissed him in a song for no reason. Eminem responded by dissing Kelly in Not Alike and Kelly made an entire diss track on Em. Sure Kelly had a fan base before this happened. He had to have some sort of crowd. But when Eminem dissed him and Kelly made a diss track. Kelly was the talk of the hip-hop world for seven days, until Eminem dropped Killshot. Which completely ruined MGK on not only a lyrical stance, but in comebacks, wordplay, and cadence. You can like whichever artist you like, but you have to understand why other people have different opinions. I’m not an Eminem “fanboy” I’m just using facts to back up my opinion. MGK is definitely still popular, but those seven days are one of the Prominent factors that made him well known (because he was beefing with an icon, and because the icon wasn’t responding) but when Em actually responded. Many professionals agree that Em won.

[@zuton_]

@@KushDreams420 yeah I agree that his career hasn’t ended. But it has fallen off and is not exactly where it used to be. He does have skill in multiple different genres but I wouldn’t say he’s more skilled than Eminem. Marshal has honed his abilities in one genre while Kelly has spread out to multiple in order to try to gain the same relevance he had for his seven days of fame. at least that’s what I think. I agree that Kelly is good at both rap and rock but I am just quoting the song, which did signal the end to MGK’s rapping career as he switched to rock. Many speculate if this has anything to do with him losing to Eminem and personally I think one reason he did switch was because of the hate he was getting after his beef with Eminem. But I’m not saying he is a nobody, I’m just talking about his rapping career and how he lost.

Eminem is the lyrical king. Anyone talking shit just gives him more fuel for another fire. I like a lot of different genres and artists that have great lyrics, but none touch the level he's on. He's the entendre and bar king. I've listened to older stuff when he was younger and stuff that I thought was a double was actually a triple or quad entendre not counting it relaying to the previous or next lines at the same time. I don't know, man. I've been trying to find people from any genre that cut so deep like he does, but even poets and authors, etc don't compare overall. This comment is a lot lop-sided since it's to an Em song and that's why. If we were talking playwrights or whatever then, no, not the same and he would probably fail at classics like Shakespeare or whatever. I wouldn't be surprised, though, if he could do a modern rewrite of that and make it really good.

True. Some are saying they want what he did 20+ years ago. He's grown up and has had different life experiences over the years so that will be expressed.

I feel like there should be an IQ prerequisite before being able to react to or give opinions about Revival publicly. If your IQ is isn't at least in triple digits, you shouldn't be able to share your dumbass opinions about it because 99% of the bars likely went right over your head. All of his albums since Recovery are too complex for idiotic fair-weather pop-rap fans to understand. If you're focused on beats and hooks while listening to Eminem, you're missing the point entirely.

It also means that he's goin back to full shady mode, hence this was his first song in the album and he tends to mention the use of drugs when he refers to his "old-self"

[@willlong2025]

What people have overlooked on the Valium bar is the song is called The Ringer. A side of effect of Valium withdrawal is tinnitus or ringing in the ear. All that noise from other rappers is just it noise/ringing obnoxious noise

[@thewicklesshomestead]

“Turn the Valium up” is the only way to get through the noise……

The lyrics are good in Revival, the production, hooks and features are bad. It's just mixed bad, rick rubbin is doing some rock/pop/rap beats eith a pop singer feature. Do you see were im gettin at? It's less a rap album and more of just a bad mixture, the album does have like 3 ok songs. Rap fans don't dig this, like DEHH, and many of em's own fans. Good thing Lil Wayne dropped Dedication 6, using mumble rappers beats and actually rapping (Bank Account)

Stevie I absolutely love your videos. When you go over his songs you actually pick up what he is meaning and I respect that soo damn much. Mostly everyone I know doesn’t like him and take his lyrics the wrong way.

[@dylpickle0192]

“Turn down for what, I ain’t loud enough Nah, turn the Valium up” I saw it as a double entendre like Em usually does with his bars. Might not be referenced in that verse but he does mention “I should eat a pill” referencing how people want him to go back to “Slim Shady”. “Do you know why Dre’s record was so successful? He’s rapping about big screen TV’s, blunts, 40’s and bitches. You’re rapping about homosexuals and Vicodin.” - Steve Berman (skit) MMLP Also interesting that there’s no chorus at all in this song. Unconventional cadence, the beats he raps to, this is one of those unique and highly slept on songs by him.

[@billyfineday2924]

You smart, I caught this too dude.

[@joshuaconley5853]

I think the cup of tea line is also a play on the chorus in “Stan”.... where she says “my teas gone cold”. ... also number #2 line... number 2 💩 and take a #2 as in a pencil ✏️

For the longest time I thought it was "tears stone cold". But damn you might be right.

[@CrazeeAdam]

hoping he reacts to Stan at some point. See what he thinks of the story telling

[@michellenoden]

@@joshuaconley5853 No, you are right on this, The original song was called Thankyou by Dido who plays Stanley's girlfriend in the video. When Eminem heard the song, he got in touch with her and asked her if he could use it for Stan. Hence he switched a very romantic song into a dark obsessive.

[@krame99]

Em is a genius with his wordplay especially with “I'm gonna crumble you and I'll take a number two And dump on you, if you ain't Joyner If you ain't Kendrick or Cole or Sean, then you're a goner” I mean he is saying he will destroy you with a number two pencil or take a shit on you lol. Just dope wordplay and 🔥 lyrics to go along with the entire track so much people missed.

[@killamanilla9079]

ahh a number 2 PENCIL. I missed that one

[@jamoblair7245]

Damn, never picked up on that one either.

[@tylerpowers4016]

I also saw a comment by Zikloxy on the LawTwins' reaction the stated "I'll take a number two" could connect to "I guess when you walk into BK you expect a Whopper" which is a #2 "You can order a quarter pounder when you go to McDonald's" which is also a #2.

[@melslapper9476]

I also saw it as a whole generational call out, since number 2 pencils are most like something theyre not using, therefore marking a visible shift in the new ways of the ones who disregard the old ones and even the ones who just are not familiar.

[@MrAndiHouse]

“Your ten cents are two” As in you are broke and when he mentions you, you suddenly have an opinion. Damn, Eminem is on another level!🤯

[@Timma1231]

Another thing about his “Stan” line: He says, “Maybe Stan just isn’t your cup ‘a tea (Get it?)” cause in “Stan” the song, Dido is singing, “My tea’s gone cold I’m wonderin why I got outta bed at all.” He likes to use a lot of stuff from his old songs as references.
