It took me a min tbh. The Taco Bell line threw me off but now I really/genuinely like it. I just don’t think that line was necessary and a few others

But his flow was great and I’m glad it wasn’t super super sonic.

The last few lines were perfect and I hope he knows every stan is gonna call him big daddy from now on lol

See THIS is why I hate SH

Ems verse is mostly getting only praise yet crook has to respond to the ONE person who didn’t like it. It’s like they all just get bitter when Em doesn’t involve them. Quit highlighting the bullshit. Couldn’t respond to all the positivity instead??

The line about 50 is really sad. I've noticed this pattern of rappers dying around the age of 50 and it seems that Em is scared or is expecting something. I hope not.

P.S. Does anybody think Em sometimes adds too many syllables in a line and disrupts the flow where he needs to say a certain word faster than the rest? I've noticed that and it throws me off a little bit. And those people didn't seem to enjoy Em's verse as much as Nas lol.

I really like it. I think it's on the level of some of his other stand out features in the past few years: caterpillar, homicide, and the Cudi song. There are times when the rippity rap stuff gets in his way but I thought it worked here. He stayed on the beat. And I appreciate that he switches his flow, I know he's just showing off but I still find it impressive.
