How is it generic? It's far from generic. You cannot listen to that song, especially the first 2 verses, and say that it's generic. Brainless is a classic song on some SSLP shit. c'mon
When he writes shit like
I walk around like a space cadet, place your bets
Who's likely to become a serial killer, case of Tourettes
Fuck, fuck-fuck, can't take the stress
I make a mess as the day progresses
Angry and take it out on the neighbors hedges
Like this is how I'll cut your face up bitches
With these hedge trimming scissors with razor edges
or...
Take some inventory
In this gourd there's a Ford engine, door hinge, syringe, an orange, an extension cord, and a Ninja sword, not to mention four linchpins an astringent stored
Ironing board, a bench, a wrench an ore, winch, an attention whore
It's a classic song. Maybe not as good as Criminal but still.
Lord...
It seems like everyone here nowadays associates the word 'classic' with something they like, as if there is no inbetween from 'hate it' to 'classic', wow.
It's a good, fun song but it's faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar from a classic. It sounds like it could just be a Westwood freestyle.
I don't call everything a classic. I just think that this song in particular is classic worthy

So Much Better - Amazing, but not classic

In fact, I clearly remember people on this forum praising Brainless once the album leaked. Now people are nit-picking like there's no tomorrow. "waah, Em said he's bananas because he appeals" "wah, Em said he's blind Superman because he had no SUPERVISION as a child"
Now people are nit-picking on Bad Guy just cuz he fucking split the word "existed". This happens every single time Em releases something, people praise it, and then say which songs they consider classics, then a month or two later, they nit-pick it and bash on it and look at the negative parts of the album. Yes, there are people who throw around the word "classic" like nobody's business, but at the same time, there are people who can't get out of the past & admit that Em can release classic material nowadays, so they just say that nothing Em does is on the caliber of his early days, when clearly Em still has it in him and has used it.
