  • Man Royce and Eminem snapped. Eminem was mad as hell man. I looked up the timeline of this song and it appears theirs came out before kamikaze. That makes more sense. It’s always about timeline with Eminem. It’s the details

    "Your favourite rapper/wrapper isn't half as ill as Advasil" - "Advasil Conform" is a sheet of medical grade self-adherent used to WRAP up wounds. so this is interesting because the "ill" ties in with Advasil being medical grade and used in hospitals SINCE 1981. So Advasil is also OG and they are of a very high quality compared to everyday wound wraps, like butterflies are more fragile than caterpillars which came first. So he's saying that your fav rapper/wrapper is like cheap a band-aid that cant wrap/rap and easily and forgotten while he can wrap so well that he can remove scars.

    One bar that people sleep on, maybe because it's hidden in plain sight:
    "Sasquatch dancing on top of an ant, trample it and stomp it,
    Smash it and stand on it..." > could also be "Smash it and "STAN"ed on it." Basically he's huge, they're not, and he's making classics (like "Stan") that people will remember for life.

    I’m pretty sure this was post Revival, pre Kamikaze; so there were a lot of younger ppl in rap trying to dump on Em for Revival & him not being the old Slim Shady. So, he came at them all in this track.
    At the time this dropped, I thought he was coming at Token, which may have been a bit of it. Tonen has a track called “Patty Cake” that dropped a few months before this & it seemed like he took a shot at Em. It later was clarified that he (Token) was coming at those making the comparison to Em; he’s made several song references to their comparison, but “Patty Cake” was one of or the first time he made the comparison. So, it seemed like this was Em responding to him with a “You’re right; we don’t compare.” As more time has passed, I think this was way more broad than just Token & really just Em letting the newer rap generation know that they can’t silence him or even touch his craft.

    "Attack of the *Silverback* gorilla" to " like Anderson *Silva -back* when he..." is so subtle but dope
    The tampon line is one of the best in the song. "Going in like a tampon in this b****, it's a manslaughter." Because the *in this b*****, is dope, but manslaughter because a tampon goes in clean, and comes back out covered in someone's blood. So sick

    Great insight on the breakdown as always. Can you hit up “Fast Lane” soon? It would be a nice follow up to this with it being another great collab with Em and Royce.
