Something to mention, Ems bars connect from themes and transitions. The fire, sparks, ignite, hot metal, roasting, Marsh (Marshall) is not mellow , all connected to heat. A lot of people say just like yall he spitting fast, but it always connects to a previous bar and sets up the next, while keeping cadence and flow, and giving a whole verse that's a bar lol. But Wayne got metaphors for years, most his bars are simple but deep. Ems usually require a bit more analysis

Em and Wayne are Yin and Yang. Wayne's genius is bars in simplicity capped with clever analogies, whereas Em's genius is complicated schemes and wordplay, littered with double and triple entendres. It all comes down to preference, but also, I think it's why they compliment each other so well. It's all in the way they balance each other out. They're both master's of their own styles. But I'd listen to them together any day...

@Nighhhts2 жыл бұрын
You definitely need to listen to more Wayne. This was nothing… Also, Em’s bars weren’t that complex, he just had larger rhyme schemes. Wayne’s punchlines were more unique. Best bar, in my opinion, was: “All about my dough, but I don’t even check the peephole / So you can keep knocking but won’t knock me down” Dough = money, but sounds like “do’,” which is slang for “door,” and is a homophone. “Peephole” sounds like “people,” which is another homophone. Then he ties that in with the “so you can keep knocking, but won’t knock me down.” By the way, Eminem started using homophones heavily since 2015, and it’s Em’s most used literary device and has been since. Listen to Em’s last 3 albums, and you’ll find them literally EVERYWHERE. Edit: Oh, and I forgot. Little Richard has a song called “Keep-a-Knockin’,” a song about a a lover who he won’t let back in because of bad behavior. So the bar is a metaphor for how Hip-Hop has treated him. And “peephole,” which sounds like “people,” may be Wayne saying he’s all about the Benjamin’s and doesn’t care who he does business with.

Wayne's verse paints such a vivid picture to the listener with excellent story-telling, plus he has nice bars. Em has more elevated word-play and also has more fun with the flow. So ultimately it's going to come down to what mood you're in. I feel as though, Em used to do more story-telling earlier on in his career, but as he got older, he began playing with form more. Personally, I enjoy Wayne's stuff more when I want to "feel" something, and I look up Em's stuff when I want to really mentally dissect something clever and appreciate world-play.

Because Em kinda forces featuring artists to dig deep and bring their best when collaborating on a record, you end up with situations like this where Wayne, who you already love, spits a verse that goes above and beyond what you typically hear from him, making what is already an "A" rapper deliver an "A+" performance. But, on the other hand, because Eminem gives you an "A+" verse *EVERY SINGLE TIME* there's really no way to make the listener hear his verse as something truly special or unique... In effect, this leaves you feeling that Em did what Em does, whereas Weezy, on the other hand, did something extra-ordinary. In a way, it's like Eminem is so good, on such a consistent basis, that it actually works against him...if that makes any sense...(?)

Eminem's flow, delivery, motivation is always top of the top. Wayne bars cold and needed in this song. This song is so good guys, just don't compare 2 goated rappers in a song where they teamed so well. Portugal here for the Goat Eminem always since day one and forever but also for other legendary OG'S and good stuff. Thanks for reacting to this legendary masterpiece. Salutes and respect from Portugal.

Feeling is a big part of music. The stuff that em said that moved me you guys didn't really react to, and some of Wayne's bars that seemed a little on the nose to me you guys really liked. So much of music is about how it makes you feel and what it connects to inside. These two are both giants in rap, and they've both earned it. This one just felt like two giants working together to just show what they can do.

This is definitely the closest I've seen to Em not just completely washing people on a track. People have told Lil'Wayne this in interviews before about they feel he is the only one to not allow Eminem to "run him over in verses" and Weezy said nobody can run him over like that he pretty much treats it as a competition like Em does. It is pretty wild that rap song verses are treated as battle. Can you imagine Garth Brooks and Taylor Swift on a song and people breaking down who was better 😂🤣😂🤣 Hip Hop is just naturally competitive, prolly from all the battle rap throughout history.

I'm an old head.. Em came out when I was in Highschool. Been a fan since his 1st album. Em's verses are always top notch and a lot to unpack. I also been a fan of Lil Wayne since Cash Money. Being Honest and Objective, Em is top 3 all time for me, but in this specific song, Lil Wayne had the better sounding part of the song in terms of flow and cadence. It felt like Em was trying to fit to many syllables in between beats, so it sounded a little off to me where as Wayne sounded more fluid. Both Em and Wayne had great bars, but Wayne had the better delivery overall, and I say this as someone who has Em higher on his rapper list than Wayne.
@ubongabasiime2 жыл бұрын
Em wasn't trying to fit.....he fit numerous syllables in btw beats, no hate to you but there wasn't really anything fluid about lil Wayne's obvious punchline to punchline bars. Punchlines are impact bars there's supposed to be a stop, putting them back to back takes fluidity out of the question
