    I didn’t care about an Em album for years now but this one got me curious. I don’t like the song but I respect the art.

      I’m actually not sure if he is working with Bass again. The song is produced by Eminem and long-time collaborator Luis Resto. Bass is listed alongside all writers of Without Me as a writer for this track, which is probably because it heavily interpolates from that song.

    I’m excited for this. His second verse alone channels how I feel today. Can’t imagine this getting a lot of praise with the Lemmy crowd.

    Not a huge Eminem fan. Although I have to admit the first CD I ever bought was Encore and maybe that poisoned the well. I thought this was good!

    Appreciated that the lyrics weren’t yelled like many (many!) of his recent tracks. The hook was good. I think it’s been long enough for a throwback to be acceptable.

      Em usually has one derivative song on his albums. I’m guessing that this one is the album opener.

        hopefully. He literally spoon feeds the concept in the video “could this be some sort of hybrid?!”

        I didn’t like this much on its own, as a song, but the video took me right back to waiting for My Name Is on TRL

        That damn sample is too goofy and easily stuck in my head
