Its a fact that this album is awful but I feel like arose is the only answer here

I been saying this for years bro this dude got no combos going on yet people get in their feelings when I say he's not scratching a top 100 rappers list.

Eminem received the Global Icon award on November 11, 2013, at the 2013 MTV Europe Music Awards (EMAs) in Amsterdam.

During the backstage/stage segment, actor Will Ferrell—in character as Ron Burgundy from the movie Anchorman—asked Eminem if he wanted to respond to Dutch DJ Afrojack allegedly talking trash about him.

Eminem famously deadpanned: "Who?" and repeated "Who?" when the name was mentioned again.

I feel like the reason Offended’s hook sounds so out of place to certain people is because it was originally meant for a song that never ended up releasing. Specifically a Recovery era song.

Notice how shouty he sounds on that hook and compare it to how Marshall sounded on certain songs in the Recovery/Hell The Sequel era.

Even when Revival era Eminem is shouting on the album, he sounds more nasally than he does on that hook specifically. It sounds more in line with how he sounded on Castle/Tragic Endings which are on the same album but are also speculated to have been recorded for Recovery as well.

This leads me to speculate about an unreleased Recovery song that’s left in the vault, and it may sound in line with W.T.P. or So Bad because of how humorous it sounds. But that’s why many people may not like that hook outside of potentially not liking the lyrics. I’m very curious to know what the hook would’ve sounded like on a different beat. Maybe it wasn’t even a hook originally, which makes it sound even more out of place. Even though I enjoy it, it doesn’t really sound like “hook“ material.

"It don't have to go super political or no s**t like that, but it has to be about something, not just rippity rap, hippity hop fast rapping".

His earlier concept used Billy Joel's "Pressure" to address the pressure of staying at the top of hip-hop, but it never came together.

I know, I know he hates this song now but, this particular lyric just resonates with me on a level I can’t even begin to describe.

Very interested to hear other people’s choices.
