VENOM 2 RAP by JT Music - "Your Better Half"

[@d_wiseman3409]

[@FrontlineCrusaders226]

Honestly, even if you take away the fact that the song is about Venom, it still holds up. It just sounds like a ballad of anyone battling their demons and I personally think that makes it even better. Even after 10 years Skull and Pat continue to amaze me.

[@ComboFood]

I love how when Venom surrounds Eddie he looks like he’s making an exoskeleton around him and when Carnage takes control he violently rips out of Cletus showing their different connections to their hosts and personalities

[@Capodontuci]

Wait thats actually genious

[@kaylenvee8150]

Eyup, that's why they were able to defeat Carnage. A symbiote needs to be able to cooperate with their host, otherwise neither of them will last. If it's a battle or a struggle for control, they're done for.

[@LTHXR-sv4iq]

​@kaylenvee8150 which is a bit weird honestly because not only is carnage stronger, he's also literally born from the blood of his host.

[@kaylenvee8150]

@@LTHXR-sv4iq It means that physical strength isn't everything. They were physically stronger than Venom, yes, but Carnage and his host weren't compatible at all. It wasn't true symbiosis

[@LTHXR-sv4iq]

@kaylenvee8150 Fair but that's what I meant with "not only" Brock is a practical stranger to Venom, but Cassidy is by all means practically Carnage's mother so I'd think they'd be a better fit at least 🤷‍♂️

I’m pretty sure the song is from a carnage point of view considering venom’s more childish nature in the movie. Ig it doesn’t really matter tho lol

[@lilgrimyking8659]

@@themoonzombie_ Well i did say that the movies are different from the comics, sure venoms a bit of an overgrown brat with anger issues, but in the comics, while he may be a brat too, he's more sadistic and cruel. But i do see your point, honestly i took a clue from the thumbnail and said this goes to both of them

[@themoonzombie_]

@@lilgrimyking8659 first, you never mentioned comics. But this song is more about Skull’s alcoholism trying to take over so it doesn’t really fit either of the symbiotes perfectly, it just fits with the idea of some symbiotes toxic relationships making the host worse off then they were before.

[@lilgrimyking8659]

@@themoonzombie_ Well no, but i did mention how the movie differs from them, and...let's not talk about skulls problems man, that got me sad enough when i first heard about them, let's just focus on our deadly goop boys and how they can fuck someone's life over

[@themoonzombie_]

@@lilgrimyking8659 well I’m sorry for making you sad about it, but if that’s what he wrote the song about and this is his way of getting through it, we should show the song respect that it’s not just a song about venom.

[@JamesSmith-cd6rf]

I like the parallel between the different psyche of the symbiotes and the undertones of what the hosts feel under each of them. It's also a nice allegory for people in everyday life, tugging between the perversion of thoughts and the outright barbarity of thoughts each person feels under differing situations.

[@unexpectedfrizzlefrazzlein7144]

I love how this song bring attention to how sick the actual film was, we all love Venom because they're unhinged and crazy, justifying murder with justice, the symbiote drawing out all the worst in people. Yet the movie framed it as being the better half of the two of them, and we agreed that it was their better halves. Something I wanted to point out IG. Good movie, brilliant song, keep making bangers guys.

[@patchwurk6652]

Everyone loves a crazy uninhibited and unrestrained Id character that just acts on it. It's less of a morality thing as much of a catharsis just enjoying the spectacle of just letting your most impulsive emotionally charged impulses just explode. Like sure, almost no one statistically is a killer.... But c'mon, in that Split-second after someone cut you off in traffic, you see red for an instant and briefly think "Imma run this fucker down for that." Before your rational brain takes over.

[@unexpectedfrizzlefrazzlein7144]

You have a rational brain-?

[@JohnDoe12345.]

Yes, but it's interesting to think "what if that rationality didn't immediately kick in? What would happen then? How different would everyone be if our inhibitions were just, gone?

[@LeviWithV]

As expected, the rap for Venom 2 is as good if not better than the first one. My fav lyric is "When I buried the monster, all I buried was me" because I used to shut down every feeling in me and blind myself from my own shadows, and was missing on every lights that were hiding behind them...

[@gabegrether8647]

Every shadow needs a light in order to be made. One cannot exist without the other. Same goes for beauty and ugliness. We all have a mix of both within us. If you make one side cease to exist, the other will vanish as well.

This song has such a dark and almost corrupted feel, but i love these songs about the 'villain' and you feel for them, and the scariest phrase is, "The more you understand your enemy the more you cant help but love them." Inspired work, love it all.

[@kriszgamer0013]

I think the first Venom rap fits perfectly for Venom's origin story in the comics, and now this fits for the storyline where Eddie parts from Venom on an auction, and Venom changes hosts from time to time. And at the end he reunites with Eddie.

[@Lexors]

[@ArtemixSpectator_]

You know, the lyrics in the beginning and before the end in Your Better Half can be put on top of the main No Hero lyrics and they sound really identical. Love that.

[@Beanboolin]

Fun fact about symbiotes: Any symbiote in a later generation than the ones before them are more powerful than their parents. Venom is a very early generation, if not some of the first, of symbiotes. He is one of, if not the first, of the symbiotes to arrive on earth as well. This means that any symbiote that Venom will face against is consistently more powerful than him but they typically triumph in the end. Even if they need some help from another caped crusader or webbed wonder.

[@Thisisgimel]

DAMN SKULL your comeback is getting lit and this is turning on itself 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@omnipotentpumpkin9755]

I just realised something incredible, I just realised this song is a layered introspection of Skulls alter ego trying to remind him why this half of him is worth more to us than the other is to him. To remind him to be inspired by his better half, not intimidated by it but I can't help but question if this "better half" is intended to be better for him, or better for us. I think the second verse really expresses this concept. "Better to trust the devil you know" referencing the best way to deal with his pain and stress, the pressure and mental demand of creating music for the world means he carries more weight than most and the more weight he carries the less power he pulls from his original engine vs an additional anaesthetic such as alcohol to help him through it. The devil is the engine that drove him down his path, which means he trusts himself enough not to betray us. There's a reason this song already has a powerful attachment to it's audience, it's a very rare anthem of a kind of ultimate sacrifice we're prepared to decipher but not prepared to face. Deep down we hear the raw essence of strength in Skull's voice and the intent placed into the creation of the instrumental and deep down this is the kind of true substance this world deprives us of.
