[@nf7089]

Simple beat, incredible lyrics, raw emotion. This song wasn’t made for the fans, it was made for himself. And one day this will be recognised on the same level Stan is.

[@lethaldream50]

i feel like first of all this doesnt need to be compared to stan for any particular reason but if we are gonna do that, one it won't get that respect but that doesnt mean it isn't an equal or better song, eminem pointed out in an interview he did in 2020 that he rarely sees the rappers HE thinks deserve to be on top 50 lists, actually on top 50 lists. so same goes for songs, recognition doesnt equal actual greatness every time. then the one thing stan has going for it in comparison is the length of the song i thought maybe i just lost track of time because i was literally sitting here crying my eyes out to this song because it touched me so emotionally, but i felt like even though it told the whole story, i was still in the middle of it expecting so much more--and then it ended. and i was like, wait, what just happened? im mid-cry, hello? this is over? where's the rest of the song? i double checked and the full length stan video is 8:88 now you can cut about a minute out of that or so for the intro but this also has a (shorter) intro and i guess i was expecting some more anecdotes, something to lengthen this episode, something to really draw it out into that really epic length that i started expecting as this song was progressing. FWIW eminem is my favorite rapper of all time but this a superior song to stan i'm literally disappointed because i feel like i've just listened to *half* of a superior song to stan.

Powerful song. I started doing cocaine at age 14. Ever since then it has been a part of my life I've been to jail because of it, and almost ruined my marriage. I am 28 now, and I am 4 months sober because I chose my family over cocaine. God bless

This song makes me cry every time

[@grug7744]

This song hit really hard for me. I have been clean now for a little over 10 years but I still think about Cocaine almost every day. I managed to get off but it took me 2 and a half years of jail to do it. I stay off the coke now because I love my family more than I love the drug. I never want to let my family know how often I think about it because I don't want them to worry but hearing this song is a reminder and it's almost a thank you from them when I listen to it. I doubt you will ever read this but honestly Royce, Thank You!! I have listened to this a few times now when I start thinking about it and my urges go away. It's been a long time since a song gave me goosebumps.

It's never going to be easy but it is always going to be worth it. Your family may never know how deep the struggle goes but they will 100% appreciate you did it for them. Remind yourself everyday that this is a battle, you are a soldier and this war is winnable!

@@shivaawasthi1129 It has all the reason to do with Eminem, sorry. They grew into the underground rap secne in tandem and continued communication throughout Em's acclaimed rise into popularity. No doubt , 100% , Royce is nice with a mic. I'm in no position to say he wouldn't have made it to radio without the convenience of a "friendly recommendation" . But.. He's obserdly predisposed to appear on Shadys radio station. There are numerous talented lyricists / songwriters of worthy caliber , capable of art. The difference is avalibility to a recognizable and consumable platform. The likes of which Royce has had readily at his disposal, through Eminem. Not to mention studio time , media connections , and a piggyback ride into Hollywood. This is mainly to be applied as his "step into the light" of pop culture. After which , Royce da 5'9 did his thing because we all know he's one of the best to ever try.
