Back when NWA dropped Straight Outta Compton, life was a little different. For example, smoking was allowed on airplanes—cigarette smoking, anyways; what Eminem and his legendary musical mentor, Dr. Dre, are doing on Relapse‘s latest official leak was no more legal then than it is now, but two talents of their caliber can be forgiven for rewriting history as they spark one up for Old Time’s Sake. Puffing on the chronic at an an altitude of 4.5 million feet (which converts to… eight million miles?!), Slim and the doctor take turns on the mic. Dre’s classic flow and midtempo, string-driven beat are guaranteed to take longtime fans on a trip down Memory Lane, and Em’s dizzying verses find him going heavy on his trademark shock antics and polysyllabic rhymes, but lighter on that cartoonish accent that earned We Made You and 3 AM a few one and two-star ratings (personally, I’m digging this more than either of those tracks). For the few who haven’t already marked their calendars (or, you know, live under rocks), Relapse is set to split the game wide open May 19th.

Getting my two cents in before this thread gets crazy LOL! I officially felt Em was back once that 3am video dropped over the weekend, but this is just a reassurment. Classic Eminem/Dr. Dre on this track from every single aspect. While I will say this is nothing new from Eminem and that it could have came out 10 years ago and had the same impact, the way this track plays out is simply fire. One of Dre’s hottest beats in a while, and they both ripped it! This will have a huge impact everywhere and only gets me more excited for May 19.

Yes, yes and more yes. This is EXACTLY what I've been waiting for. It's not the best Em track, granted, but it certainly outshows the previous singles. Strong beat + catchy hook + great rhymes = Classic Em. My faith in Relapse is restored. (And my hope for Detox is getting greater)

This is insane right here. The production and lyrics by Dr. Dre is good and this has great bass. Eminem's lyrics are on point this is a great track to smoke a blunt with. This is the Em i like!

Yeah, this is pretty tight. Dre's production is hot and they both sound great on it. I'm also feeling this one more than the other two. Solid 4. Still waiting for a deep, serious classic track from this album, but I'm enjoyin these singles.

not up to the hype. i still havent heard a song from em that lives up to the high expectations i had. he's had soooo many hits in the past. these 3 songs, have been horrible 2 me and this new accent he's rappin with aint helpin and the beat is no where near dre's best. so i know i wont be buying/downloading his album.
not knockin wat anyone else my like, but i personally dislike. |

I heard this joint a little earlier. Decent Em. I still want a joint like "Sing for the Moment" or something to drop. That normal voiced belligerent rap from Slim.
That's the classic Em I know. |

that1kid13 - - I seen a comment someone made asking if you ever rate a track with a decent rating. What I like about your ratings is your don't give the song a good rating based on just who the artist is. While this is a four for me I don't think this is near what Em is capable of and I too agree the first 3 songs are below my expectations.

I have to agree with thatkid13's first comment. Not a terrible song, only 1 of his new songs that even reminds me of the old em, but its still not the em I was rockin.

Has anybody else noticed how often Eminem's been ending lines with the word "again"? On this track as well as "3 AM" and "We Made You."
I like this record, but that just struck me as a little odd |

OK.. much better than the past 2 that we have heard, however, I really am getting sort of tired of Eminem's voice on these new tracks. I read somewhere that Em is going to use this tone on most if not all of Relapse.. and the album after Relapse (due in ~6months or so?) will be different. I like the more serious Em.
@sommmi: more useless hate from you.. at least attempt to provide constructive criticism. Your comment only proves how clueless you really are. |

Yeah, his new sound, while it allows him to change up his rhymes, is annoying. The production is hot, but I'm not sure if it is suitable for Em's style. Maybe if the tempo was turned up a notch, it would be a true headbanger. Until then, this is more of a song for Em faithfuls (high ratings and level of satisfaction regardless). Em's starting to remind me of Nas, lyrical sound, but tone-deaf.

@mmcoolman2000 - He has come out with plenty of Bangers. Wake up, haters, and pay attention. But, I guess that if you didn't like this guy, you wouldn't have listened to this song. So, though you may try nd come off as "haterish," you're acting pretty hypocritical. So, it's whatever.
@sommi - the other guys may like your picture, but I for one still have NO RESPECT for people like you, who like throwing around the word "faggot." You may not know this, but you offend some people when you say sh*t like that. Lay off the word, people. It's obviously not their fault you don't like the song, because it's gotten plenty of 4's and 5's. So why blame them because you don't realize a good song when you hear it? Seriously, go back to Middle School, when saying sh*t like "faggot" was the cool thing to do. GROW UP!!! Now, onto this song. Yall know how I feel about my boy Em, and if you don't, you'll learn real soon lol. I love this track. I feel the same as other people above me that in that I'm still waiting for him to drop a serious track, but he's getting a lot better. Keep it up, Em. This is Classic, because I say it is. Anyone wanna argue tht fact will be more than welcome to talk to me about it. |

This is classic right here, speaking on the accent, i think relapse will have accent on all of it's tracks, and relapse 2 won't have the accent. Also Crack A bottle was supposed to be off Relapse 2 but was leaked early.

BANGER. GOTTA GIVE IT 5 STARS FOR THE COMEBACK AFTER THEIR ABSENCE. THEY STILL KNOW WHAT PEOPLE LIKE AND MAKE THE MUSIC THAT'S ENTERTAINABLE AND EASILY DIGESTIBLE DESPITE WE MADE YOU TRACKS PRODUCTION IS TIGHT(THANKS DRE). THE LYRICS ARE UP TO DATE AND THERE IS AT LEAST TWO JOKES THAT ARE ACTUALLY FUNNY. AND THE ACCENT ON CONTACT BUZZ IS HILARIOUS.

Time for DJ Z to weigh in (and yes, I just referred to myself in third person).
First, what is with all the hatred for this man? If you don't like his music, thats fine - plenty of people don't. But there is no need for name calling... DJBooth is not a high school. I like this. Em's rhymes are always on point and Dre's production (which here isn't his best) is still better than most of the competition. This isn't a "single," so I am not holding it to the standard of other "singles." I do, however commend Em's camp for coming with a predetermined string of approved pre-released leaks.

Mr. Top Hat: "Tho the accent remains but it is good to see (hear) dat it has reduced to a certain extent ..." I LOVE the banging production, it's vintage Dre+Eminem like Darkchocolate says. I'm still not hyped at all after what I heard until now... I'm anguished at the possibility of this not bein a classic album judging by previous singles. |
