He’s taking the piss, thats the point, he mimics Bad and Boojie on the album too, mimics the ‘choppy’ flow thats popular nowadays too, even mimics Kendrick a bit in using the odd line though thats more out of respect.

Crazyman Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Em was on instagram live earlier randomly playing Pac Man. MGK has a Pac Man tattoo right by his neck. I think we're going to get a response soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jw224 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Such a weak track. Basically boils down to "you have a weird beard" "you're old and I'm young" (how is this a diss?) "I'm tall you're short". Most of the things he says aren't even disses, when you dissect them they either make no sense or mean nothing. The fact this has become so popular is embarrassing.

Still a weak track, or average anyway, just cuz the rhymes ain't top level but I wouldn't go so far as to say it doesn't make sense, it makes perfect sense and they mean a fair bit, almost all of it refers to stuff thats happened or has been reported to have happened.

Len Cnut Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 To me the most cutting line is probably 'so what do you stand for?/i know you can't stand yourself' because you could maybe see how like, there's some reality to it. And the stuff about being a fake tough guy spending millions on security and the 'only time you see 8 Mile is on a treadmill', if you follow Eminem and know the story of his getting off drugs through treadmill addiction basically its kinda funny. There was a lot of lines in it that hit the mark, its just the rhymes ain't all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 8 mile one is the only one that could have any merit imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, see, the thing with diss rap is you could easily counter any diss records greatest lyrics with some sober common sense, this really isn't the theatre of such thinking...and when you couple it with the fact that MGK is pointing out that he's a sort of isloated figure with an isolated life it kinda works better. It might even just be plain false, I've never seen no big time security around Em'. But it works as an insult when you take what the whole song is basically saying about Em'. Its also often highlighted about Em' that though he often gives off this tough guy image, he only ever beefed with manageable people or when Fif' and G Unit were there.

Idk, I’d say a lot of it make sense. Like the you’re old I’m young thing, in the rap game game that’s a big deal, since the beginning rap it’s been a young man’s game, so calling out Em’s age and bringing up the fact his recent stuff has badly fallen from his early work, it’s a legit diss. Third verse is on point. Even the you’re short thing, that’s just an added insult that piggy backs on the first insult, which is the real point of that line. “How can I even look up to you”, that’s where he hits. He’s already said he used to respect Em and acknowledged him as a goat and even called him a idol, now he’s saying after everything he’s laid out in this song he can’t even look up to the guy anymore. That theme holds weight with people, the whole I used to like you but you changed and now you act fucked up, that’s a heavy thing. You’re not as tall as me on it’s own ain’t the strongest diss, but following that line about not looking up to you it works, in rap especially where you connect different themes with word play. The biggest knock I have against it is it’s just not lyrically great. Which MGK has never been that type of rapper, this is about the best you can ask for in that regard. So that weakens it and could’ve helped it be better. But as far as staying on theme throughout the song, putting out some behind the scenes stuff that went down, personal insults, and the right type of attitude, it gets some good points. It’s no Hit Em Up or Jack the Ripper or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jw224 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Em posted a video of him playing pac man and people are thinking it means he's gonna respond. (Mgk has a pac man tattoo on his chest). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
