Hell Breaks Loose

[JustEnjoytheMusic]

For the past week, I've been listening to this song several times a day. This and "Drop the Bomb on 'Em". What's interesting for me personally is that in nine out of ten Eminem songs I think the last verse is the best of the entire song. There are few exceptions. The way I see it, he does that deliberately as if to build up tension.

Anyway, my favorite lines in this song are within the first verse:


Shady's come to fill ya up, are you a D or a C cup?
You could even be a B, it's just me and D-R-E
You'll be in the E.R., we are strapped with so much TNT
We may blow, no not even CPR from the EMT's

Could help you to resuscitate, you busters must be flustered, wait
You can't cut the mustard, what's your problem, can't you bust a grape?
{*chka-chk-chk*} What's my name? Shady came and just crushed the game
It's really not even fair to them, cause they pale in comparison
So much they might as well wear his skin, don't you wish you could just share his pen?
Cause this shit's getting embarrassing, the fog is thick and the air is thin

What I love about this part are several things:
- The way he's only using letters and acronymes in the first part, but he still makes sense (it's not just a lineup of letters, the acronymes are connected). Especially the ER/CPR/EMT part
- ER/CPR/EMT - resuscitate; he's breaking up the basic rhyme scheme he was using before, but the story he's telling continues smoothly.
- after "could help you to resuscitate" I think the lyrics are full of multies, maybe even inverses (it sounds very smooth, at the very least), but to point that out I'd have to colour it.
- I don't know how to explain another point that I like, but I'll try: Lyrically, he seems to be walking downstairs. He begins with resuscitate and ends with air is thin, which does not rhyme at all, but the transition is so smooth that by the end of the verse you think that everything rhymed perfectly.

Any thoughts on this?

His flow on the first verse always stood out for me. I always liked it, props for making this thread.

I was listening to this song last night! The first verse is my favorite, but I love his lines here too,

Now I know you're feelin discouraged but homie just mark my words
I'm mur-durin the flow, liquid courage I'm fin' to blow
As soon as we hit the do' power surges head to toe
I'm sure to push it as far as words are meant to go
We're in the indigo Winnebago with tinted windows
Ferocious as we proceed to beat up the block wit yo' hoe

Refill is great.

I love this song, he sounds great on it and awkwardly enough, I've been bumping the same songs as you lately lol.

We've had that conversation before .

Weird, I was thinking of that the other day lol.

About five answers popped up in my head when I read that... From "mind-meld" to Illuminati . That's my cue to go to sleep, even though it's only 20:40 .

It's a conspiracy .

Yes, I love this part as well. Nothing in the song beats the first verse, though.

Buffalo Bill was by far the most popular acclaimed Eminem song on Refill.

But my favorite has to be Taking My Ball, by far. That song probably has more plays than the rest of the EP combined.
