    This is one for the hip hop heads, the silent majority will love it but the new age rap critics will come in and shit on it on social media. I particularly liked how Eminem tied the end if his verse back to Nas at the start talking about giving flowers, he starts by reminiscing about Proof, gave the R.I.P's then shout out the golden era and 50 to give them their flowers while they are alive.
