  3. IKEEPIT100 says:

    Em SERIOULSY…HANG THE FUCKIN MIC UP..while u still have a bit of repspect left..this could flow if it bit him in the ass..how the fuck do u forget how to flow..shit is mind boggling

    1. Cartune says:

      Well… Em is still my favorite rapper, so I wouldn’t say he needs to hang it up asap, but I can agree on the fact that he forgot how to flow, I was thinking the exact same thing last night when I first heard it… It’s like, he still knows how to rap, it’s just like he forgot how to rhythm… I’m beginning to think Slim Shady officially died the night he was laying in that hospital bed during his drug OD unfortuanetly.

    2. cannon says:

      haha i was thinking the same this dude aint flowing anymore just straight meshing words together and wordplay schemes. his beat selection is wack lately too.

  4. KILLA says:

    The song overall is decent as for Em’s lyrical ability always on 10 however he always does songs that sound like this, it’s getting boring.

  5. Belize says:

    Em ain’t been on point since Proof passed

  6. 27 says:

    This is so fuckin trash …One of If not the most overated MC’s of all time

    Eminem is a great artist but he needs better beats.

  8. Merv says:

    i’d rather have Em make this kind of music than have him rap about money, women and club shit….i’m good with this. This song will help so many people. Black, White, Spanish whatever you are. This song is about overcoming shit and i think motivational music is better than club music.

  9. tete says:

    this is DOPE!!!!!!!!!!

    ppl SLEEP on Bad meets Evil album

  10. JVSTIN says:

    Sounds like a mess, too much going on

  11. el jim chapo guzman says:

    Omg that’s what happened when you stay off drugs.

  12. twet says:

    If you acually think Em should hang it up and can’t rap you are an idiot and don’t know ANYTHING about hip hop. The only thing worse then those jackasses is the people that say his encore stuff is good. The guy has never been better the last 6 years. Just listen to his verse on speedom. Its amazing. MMLP2 has some of the best lyrical content of any album in the last 15 years. WTF are you listening too? Who do you consider a legit rapper if you think Em isn’t on point right now? Shaking my damn head. I love how people say he can’t flow. His flows are amazing. He’s a different rapper then 2001, move on people. He’s actual better now because his songs have more meaning. Wordplay is ridiculous.

    1. Cartune says:

      As a hardcore Eminem fan, I can’t even agree with you on this, the dick-riding is STRONG in this one. Be honest wit yourself bro, half the time now Em just be spittin’ complete unorthodox flowing gibberish! Prime example is that song “Right For Me” on that Shady XV compilation joint and even the song “Speedom” that you mentioned. Yeah, the skill is there, but his flows don’t really grasp you like they did back in 1999-2007.

      1. Iamstillmusic says:

        I have to cosign this, there is no way you can tell me MMLP2 was anywhere near his old work. Most people didn’t listen to it and I’m sure Em was surprised he won a Grammy for it. He’s a legend nonetheless but he definetly isn’t 2002 Eminem

        1. Dan Karlin says:

          MMLP2 was definitely a flawed album, but I’m gonna go on record and say “Bad Guy” was one of the best tracks he’s ever done.

    2. IKEEPIT100 says:

      Are u a fagget stan or what …its clear he lost it he says it in legit every song these days jus listen to his last track with yelawolf best friend..now eat a dick for ur blatiant lyin

    3. marty mcfly says:

      “Some of the best lyrical content in the last 15 years”? No

    4. brza says:

      I am an Em fan as well but this ain’t it for me either! Lyrically he is undoubtedly one of the best but ever since he started YELLING throughout every record I gave up

    5. BK James says:

      “Who do you consider a legit rapper if you think Em isn’t on point right now?” Kendrick, Earl, Cole, Bronson, Chance, Ye, A$AP, need I go on?

      1. FabsTooth says:

        Take Yeezus out and you literally just named the top 5 garbage rappers that are considered lyricists lol.

    6. Belize says:

      nigga is trash now. GOHD

  13. Da Business says:

    I’m a Em fan but, this ain’t it. Em is doing too much. This whole super fast rapping thing he’s been on as of late is weak and tired.

    1. MrSkeezyMak says:

      Best friend and speedom were dope. This is OK, just another soundtrack nothin special track like Guts over fear.

  14. dustin says:

    Agree with alot of the comments his lyrical ability is there an like one said least its not like the rap we see hear all the damn time on mtvjams(rickross,French,meek,wayne,etc.. but that said i like the song but wheres the guy who seemed to be alive an had passion u can tell this aint aame dude!! Is this a freakin robot?? Lol seriously one more point its like kurupt dpg where is his flow acrobatic rhymes i hust dont unnderstand. Thank Snoop Pharell for Bush thats different in a good way! !peace

  15. Dan Karlin says:

    The problem with Em’s work post-MMLP2 is that he has run out of things to talk about. The fallout from Proof’s death, addiction and the recovery process, while horrible on a personal level, gave him an onslaught of new subject matter for a while, and he didn’t have to re-hash stories about his childhood, his public image, etc; and while MMLP2 did revisit old territory, it did on a new level of maturity and experience; so it was still intriguing to hear.

    ShadyXV was the first time since Encore where his work felt stale to me. The Iggy Azelia line felt like forced controversy, and while his technical skills were on point, the majority of the album was forgettable, and I didn’t listen to it more than once. Shit, the best tracks on that whole thing were the alternate take of “Lose Yourself” and “Til It’s Gone”, which Em had nothing to do with.

    For the first time since ’99, I’m at a point where I’m not really excited to hear new Em. Sad to admit that, but at the same time, he’s really got nothing left he needs to prove.

  16. Max Blue says:

    this is dope, another DJ Khalil beat gets kiled by em

  17. MrSkeezyMak says:

    You haters realize this is for a soundtrack to a fuckin boxing movie, right? It’s cool.

  18. MadShot says:

    An engineer actually mixed this?

  19. THE REAL mac DIESEL says:

    EMINEM FELL OFF!!!! THE END!!!!

    DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!

    1. Abe6772 says:

      Rap fell off

      1. THE REAL mac DIESEL says:

        NAH MEAN!!!!

        DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!

  20. theboy. says:

    em flow just outdated. but he’s eminem so if anything is released, white ppl are gonna pay.

    1. Trilles[Tx] says:

      you don’t think black people like Em? lol

      1. duke334 says:

        Not really or the black people who hang around mostly whites do probably

  21. static says:

    you retards its a soundtrack song he got paid to wrap about a song based on boxing and overcoming. of course its work not his artwork.

  22. MJeezy says:

    EM will NEVER fall off! just because you don’t uderstand the music doesn’t mean it’s not good. to each his fucking own. so if you don’t like his new music, how about you shut the fuck up and keep listening to your trap, strip club, music?

  23. IM730 says:

    I bet you could swap this verse with all of his verses from the last 6 years and it would fit.
    I dont think he should hang it up until hes ready. if yall think people dont listen to 2015 em youre wrong as fuck.. but his music is very trite..

    Take that rage climb out the cage that they kept that cagged cat at and spray back at all the haters who try knock you and doubt you and clouded you… up with all that bullshit nonsense i havent had sense since nas did… ether and a match and boom like a mic stand on the top of the mountain and climb to the top i aint ever gonna stop
