Fun Fact: Eminem kicked everyone out in the studio for this to test if Kendrick really had ghost writers or not

[@eddydosanjos9256]

James Larsson very true Ed Sheeran talks about this

[@alkoholic3216]

He didn't kick everyone out of the studio because of that lmao where did you heat that from? Kendirck said himself Em kicked everyone out the studio because he didn't want Kendirck distracted or nothing, he wanted Kendirck to feel like its just him and the mic in the room with no one watching him. Like the saying "Sing like no ones watching you"

[@brandonayong752]

@@alkoholic3216 Kendrick " he told everyone to Go out and I ended up knowing why . It's because he wants to see if it's really you writing the raps "

[@laurenventi]

@@CrysG. look for the interview with Kendrick and Cole talking about Em.

[@UncleRandy73]

Kendrick said Em asked him to do just the hook then he kicked everyone out and gave Kendrick a verse that only took K 45 min to write. That’s dope

[@mahlakomananaconstructions9715]

What I had always appreciated about K's verse was how he transitioned from the hook to his verse. Generally that's Em's strength, you get him on a feature he is either gona do the hook and link it with his verse or bridge the fucking hook and have a smooth transition to his verse. That's how he killed majesty by Nicky.

[@bmartin2304]

Exactly. This wasn't a fair em vs. Kendrick because K. only had 45 mins to write it. Was as good as anyone could have done in 45 mins. Good reaction though. Ems shit was ridiculous and still probably unbeatable.

[@owkrikki]

Kendrick wrote the verse in 45 mins? Wtf is up with that beast Jesus

[@drempi3735]

@@bmartin2304 nah... Kendrick didn't have only 45 minutes to write. He wrote his verse in 45 minutes and even Eminem was surprised... Not that he had to write within 45 minutes kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4CslISZo7udY7c ☝🏾☝🏾 Here is a link to a Kendrick interview

[@bmartin2304]

@@drempi3735 poor choice of wording but my point was the verse was written in 45 mins, and ems was not. weather he only had 45 mins or that is all he took makes no difference. I appreciate you trying to clarify this for me though.

[@spb78art]

The beat is supposed to sound all whacky and corny, it’s a parody on pop songs I actually love how the whole thing sounds, probably one of the funniest Eminem tracks, and that says a lot

[@vooselagina47]

It sounds like that because the sample is pulled from the mid 60s. The Game of Love - Mindbenders. Not sure where you came up with the parody thing.

[@spb78art]

@@vooselagina47 Yeah, I meant that the idea behind the track is a parody. I knew that they pulled the sample out of some track, but didn't know which one, so thanks for the clarification

[@Petergonzaleztv]

@@vooselagina47 you're talking production, he's talking about from a writing stance , yeah it's hella parody , the whole song is hilarious

No Sk1llz I did at first but the more you listen it grows on you, and bars make up for it anyway

BAR FEST, he is gonna hate us for this but yea this is a must see and I think he is qualified at this point. Ps. If you do react to the song imma warn you, its a head ache thats worth it 😂😂

[@bmpetrov]

whole BME is sick. but I would recommend Infinite

[@vick7848]

This is definitely not something to casually listen to. I think everyone and their mom hated this track forever. Super unorthodox beat and bars

[@shaneoconnor977]

Please Stevie we need “bad guy” while you’re on the album. Masterpiece

[@adamo5238]

Master fucking piece. Arguably, better than Stan.

[@mihlaliralarala3340]

Stan first, then followed by Bad Guy,so it makes sense to him

[@slimeighty6049]

We need this!!!!

[@jessefiordimondo154]

It is. One of my favorite TCQ albums

[@EpicWarrior131]

@Carl Marchiano Another comment said it's a parody based on pop beats. It's understandable when you look at it from that angle, especially given the comical lyrical content, but parodies are wack on purpose.

[@EpicWarrior131]

@Carl Marchiano They're definitely different. As far as the voice and the technical lyricism I prefer mmlp2 but everyone has their own take. Mmlp was more emotionally jarring and even funny and still lyrically solid because Eminem has never not been lyrically solid.

[@smmaistheway]

[@Danny0dbert]

"You want an intimate date, I wanna intimidate." That's a short line but I love it.

[@chelsea6671]

The Busta scheme i think actually is leading on to a Tribe Called Quest scheme because they have a song called Scenario that Busta does guest star on and the song is on their Low End Theory album. Also the third base line can also be used to talk about 90's groups because there was a group called 3rd Bass.

[@TomJones-wx5on]

Here’s my 2 cents. This is Eminem’s bag, wild shit and amazing wordplay. Kendrick is stretching his muscles going into Eminem’s world for a song but that’s not kendricks style. I’d love to see a reversal where em tries to step into kendricks specialties like storytelling, biblical references, moral ambiguity, and painting an artistic picture. I love them both for their separate strengths and I think they are both the best at what they do.

On drop the world and forever eminem murked wayne. As for no love Wayne has a more grounded and heavy hitting bars on no love em has a better flow and rhyme schemes. It's a matter of point of view.
