J.I.D. Lost His Mind On Eminem's "Fuel" From "Death Of Slim Shady"

[@jornoa-]

from the second I heard JID's voice I was gassed. best song on the album hands down

[@akafaze9873]

Definitely in my top 2. Bad One is fire too though.

[@druk_qs]

Man Rob I just wanna give it up to you once again.. in a landscape filled with rushed opinions and reductive takes you never fail to come through with commentary that’s well thought out, unique, measured and through the point of view of a TRUE hip-hop historian. Salute to you brother 🫡 - looking forward to your analysis on the Common & Pete Rock project!

[@RobMarkman]

Thank you.

[@Rassmaster]

Its songs like these that make me hate the whole "who washed who" debate because both JID and Em went 10/10 on their verses. To say someone washed the other one on this song is just disrespectful to the talent displayed by both artists (not saying Rob said that btw, just in general). JID was incredible for the reasons you listed, but Em did some crazy flow switches and the whole con__ alliteration schemes. Both incredible verses man. I prefer EMs personally but JID was also so dope. Both were equal and thats what makes these types of songs so great🔥🔥🔥

[@RobMarkman]

It’s funny you say that cause i was thinking to myself “who got who” on this song and i couldn’t quite come up with an answer, it’s hard to say that cause Em went hard. I can see who i liked better, which verse spoke to me more, but who washed who? I couldn’t come up with anything

[@Rassmaster]

@@RobMarkman Thats the thing, I feel like there would be so many artists who would fail to match JIDs particular verse on this song, he went in and Em just completely matched him, which makes for the best kind of features. Also Im with you in regards to JID taking off even more so in the future with the metro album etc. He might just be leading his generation.

[@gintoki_sakata__]

​@@Rassmastermaybe in the future this will be JID's "jid murdered you on your own shit" if Eminem is ever dissed

[@jasbb2]

Well said. Let's go back to the times when we could just enjoy features and different rap sites. Not who 'killed' who

[@UnRaT3Dx]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@RobMarkman]

Agreed

[@ryand23]

Agree with you; Fuel is the best track and that has a lot to do with JID's verse. As soon as I saw the tracklist and the JID feat, I listened to that track first. JID has been spazzing and putting together clever bars since I first saw him at a small venue in St Louis opening for Tory Lanez in 2016. Back then he was rapping to prove he could rap, but now, like you said, he's putting stories together and painting pictures with his lyrics. I've been waiting for him to blow up for a while and I'm with you, it's coming soon 💯

[@MackCruz28]

Amazing album, arguably Em best one. Gonna take me a while to break down all these lines. JID killed it, I can't wait to hear JID's and Metro collab album. Hip hop needed this 🙏🏼

[@RobMarkman]

I think that metro Album is gonna be dope. High hopes

Perfect take on the Renaissance line. During this whole Kendrick/Drake beef I’ve noticed some people struggle with the concepts of irony, sarcasm, third person perspectives etc. In this case I think you’re right, it’s simply clickbait.

Jid is the best MC of last years. DiCaprio 2 😎 I listened to Ems album. Glad to tell you 🕺 i was suprised. His flows are strategic , without going to fast. They are different , interesting. Also beats... They are good 😳 most of them Damn mby its a recency bias. But ita really good, most of it.

[@RobMarkman]

Nah JID is really crazy

[@bdgabuilt]

JID has been snapping for YEARS now. I've been wondering what it's gonna take for him to reach the next level. His pen is elite and dude can actually sing. Man deserves his flowers.

[@matthewhendricks6764]

I skimmed through the album this morning just to hear what we getting and I was so upset because I just wanted good beats and hard raps from Em this time. Then I listened to the album as Em requested.. DAMN! I was transported back to my young days hearing Em for the first time. He is the GOAT!

[@Baconeazy]

He got good personal songs with temporary and somebody save me

[@RobMarkman]

For sure

[@ravensall22]

JID definitely went crazy on there! I've been saying he's the next true rap star for a good while now, he gets the Pop looks and goes crazy, when it's on some rap shit he goes crazy. He had a viral tiktok a whole year after he dropped the song. All of the stars are aligned for him to be the next star like a Kendrick or Cole.

[@BigGeechie]

Yoo Rob seen you on ABC news holding the culture down. Good work! But yeah JID is definitely sketching his name in that elite MC category for sure.

[@1988jeffy]

Appreciate Em not being one of those guys who doesnt want a lyrical killer without as big a name rapping with him.

[@jasbb2]

The other explanation is that daily hip hop really thought Eminem was dissing them. And failed to understand the context. Went over their heads

[@RobMarkman]

There’s no way. And if there is a way, their hip-hop literacy is super low.

[@lewisg.5240]

JID absolutely blacked out on this verse

I drove 5.5 hrs today to get back home from visiting family. The first thing I did was put the new Shady album. The nostalgia was great, it was something new that definitely reminded me of the old work. I loved the album. JID was amazing!

[@RobMarkman]

Yeah i had a long drive today too, not 5 1/2. More like 2 hrs each way. So i let it play + the new common and Pete rock album

As a native Detroiter (living 3 miles outside of Detroit now), I needed to hear this Eminem. I got tired of people playing with his name. Renissance, I would love to hear your breakdown. Yeah, Eminem was not being Shady in those bars. Some of these people doing lyrical breakdowns have no clue. Seriously. Everything is 'hype beast' now, from sports, to music, to fashion.

[@RealEricMann]

I enjoyed the album for the most part. I hope Em does one more tape with Royce, maybe 50 and goes back to doing some underground shit before bowing out.

[@Kelvinrooney1989]

This helped me see JID verse in a better light, I was so stuck on the concept of the record because to me it feels like a 4:44 or mm&bs but ems way of saying im takin off my savior complex and im re doing revival again because I really want to be set free from myself and the expectations cause it’s not fun anymore, but now ima listen to JID verse again cause I really couldn’t grasp the concept of what he was doing on the earlier part of the album around the “shady section of it” appreciate you fam

[@ridazszn]

No hate, I understand that this is your opinion and I respect it. How I see is that it is unfair to say that someone was better than another one in the song (for this instance, on "Fuel"). 'Cause, first of all, this is Marshall's album. You hearing him for 8 songs before "Fuel" comes in, so your ears are already getting used to him, his themes and his delivery. That's why when JID comes in, it sounds fresh, 'cause he brings fresh air for the context of the album. So just imagine, if this was JID's album, it would be reverse situation: your brain will think that Em brought the freshness for his album too. I hope I explained it in some way, apologies, English is not my native language.

I’ve been waiting for an album like this from him in a long time. But this song is one of the highlights if not the best song itself in the album cause of how well they both performed.

@@RagingGuts-tl7ot Oh no, his rhymes don't go over my head. He's not that type of lyricist. He's saying a bunch of bars, but isn't really saying anything. A bunch of random bars are basically the same as not saying anything if they don't lend themselves to a greater idea within the verse. It's a bunch of "I can rap, I'm zany, I can say want I want, I'm edgy" shit. Nothing much else on his verse.

[@RagingGuts-tl7ot]

@SamHoodie3k I disagree he is that type of lyricist you may not like what he's saying. Yet again, it's not a bunch of nothin again. You have to really lesson and break his bars down and let it sink in. The double and multi syllable rhymesceme his doing. You don't have to like it, but trying to downplay the lv of skill of rhymes he's doing as a bunch of nothin I just agree with your take on that.

[@TheDifferenceCHI]

Rob.. be honest.. we can respect Eminem’s legacy n penmanship as a legacy act. … but be honest he doesn’t deserve the praise he has gotten for the music he has put out the last decade or more. He doesn’t make better music than any of the top level artists of the last decade.. including Drake Wayne Kanye Kendrick Cole JID future thug or Travis.. not even a Nicki .. his subject matter is questionable n repetitive and it makes me wonder why he doesn’t receive the slander of any top tier lyricist that puts out mediocre to trash projects.. Just cuz u got rapping ability doesn’t mean the songs are good or even respectable.

[@RobMarkman]

I guess. I just kinda judge Em but his own standard that he set. Even with Drake at this point. I Can only really compare him to the standard he set. But we’ll see. I gotta sit with the album

@@RobMarkman idk I just dont like concept of trying to get cancelled ..I just don’t think the ppl he’s looking to upset care about what he’s talking about.. like Katelin Jenner is like 6 years ago material or something idk.. n the younger generation doesn’t even know who Christopher reeves is n his generation don’t care.. atleast the hip hop guys idk.. do you? In 2024? N being 50yrs old trying to get cancelled is like is he trolling on purpose.. idk 🤷🏾‍♂️.. how much replay value does it have outside a couple tracks.. I never listen to Houdini n I like that song lol

[@gintoki_sakata__]

​​@@TheDifferenceCHIits not about being cancelled.. Its about getting rid of the slim shady persona. The persona a lot of his core fans is obsessed with. He kept referencing 2003... Slim shady is still stuck in the past and not progressing. He's getting rid of that.. Thats why towards the end of the album, he just spoke about his daughters, emphasising that if he didnt get rid of slim, he might've lost what he has.. With Tobey he's just being marshall.. A person who wanted to be recognized for his skill.. Shady was a rebel that helped him fight.. He doenst need it anymore And yes, hes respected by his peers and a lot of lyricist.. Just say you and a couple of other people arent into it. But many people go crazy over his wordplay. Rappers are amazed by his abilities. Just different tastes.. I dont like jay z. Not my taste. Cant relate or replay any of his music.. I visit Kendrick songs here and there.. Not really my cup of tea but hes good. Im more of a lupe, Elzhi type of guy... Doesnt mean i gotta bitch about Jay z or Kendrick

I’m disappointed in everyone. Em spent his whole career not working with the younger generation and embracing new sounds. Now here he is, doing exactly that. He’s clearly sucking off the culture to milk whatever “goat status” yall give him. Em makes horrible music , and he’s the only rapper that can be removed from the culture and we won’t miss anything. He’s doing the same ol tricks and it’s sad and lame. Stop giving this dude attention, he doesn’t deserve it. Good rapping doesn’t equal good music. Every rapper that you named in the “elite” class , can make hip hop relevant music. That connects to the culture. Em can’t. This shit has to stop Rob lol.

[@RobMarkman]

“Stan” isn’t “hip-hop relevant music”? Invented a whole damn relevant term “Forgot about Dre” isn’t “hip hop relevant” music ? “Renegade” isn’t hip-hop relevant music? It’s ok to not like Em, that’s preference, but let’s not lie and make stuff up family
