Does anyone not like the song Kim like me?

[WakeUpShow]

^ Yeah you can break ground with content, while not being very lyrical

[watevermannnn]

Ahhh yes, they want tracks to be super-lyrical, even when it's uncalled for.

Nothing like having a track crammed with too many syllables and using awkward words that you don't use in your every day language, just to sound smart.

I call it the Pretentious Canibus Syndrome, PCS for short.

Also Kim and '97 Bonnie and Clyde have SIMILAR stories, but the concept is different. Kim is basically the prequel to '97 Bonnie and Clyde, but just written AFTER. He writes Kim as a cinematic track where the audience can watch in, but he takes the concept to the next level with B&C. With how he explains it to his daughter. uses baby talk. etc.

PCS! That's brilliant i hope it becomes an established term.

[DƎRDYPK]

yeah I don't like it sooooo much
but it's pretty sick in it's own way

I love the original version about the 4 year old witta slit throat

I think Kim is brilliant at what it does. To construct lyrics that sound like everyday...well, "conversation" is not quite the right word for it...is just utter genius. IMO the song is creepy as hell because it manages to sound "real".

[OMEGA]

I think Kim is dope, but is not really a song that I´d play too many times. Kinda like Stan, it loses its touch after a while, but I´d still consider it a classic.

What really pisses me off is that everyone is (and was at the time it came out) bitching about how violent this song is,how he could do sth like this to her,blah blah blah
Yeah it's offensive and I'm sure she was hmmm upset to say the least but I think it's actually about him and not his wife,if I ever recorded a song like that about someone who hurt me I'd feel like the whole world saw me naked.Probably worse actually.So to me,the most shocking thing about "Kim" is not the violence but the extent to which he exposes his feelings.Takes nuts to put out something like this

[Arschfickalarm]

I thought it had really good lyrics for an argument over an instrumental.

I've listened to it maybe 3 times in my life. Definitely one of my lower 20 or so Em tracks. It's obvious he wasn't trying to make it a "good song" as much as he was doing what he wanted because he wanted to, which gives it an extra point or two in my book.. but it's just not listenable unless you specifically want that song to listen to, which is a rare occasion.

[KillahBee]

Kim is groundbreaking, I mean no established artist would have the balls to put a track like that on their album - that song really pushed all the limits

Saying that, I don't know to make of it, the production is awesome, its exectued perfectly - but its not sometihing I'd play much

[NicoleEM]

I actually like Kim,but it's not something i listen often.It's more like a story then a song,but it's quite a shock to see Eminem's emotions out like that,i think it's a track he just had to do to get his anger out if you know what i mean.(Now bleed bitch bleeeeedd!)

[Wreck]

It's one of his best in terms of just what it is.

That being said, it has no replay value unless you wanna kill someone.

I don't like listening to it, but I like it for what it is.

Yeah this is prob. one of the few Em songs that I never listen to. Whenever it comes up on my MMLP cd I skip it. Once in a blue moon I'll listen to it.

That being said, it has no replay value unless you wanna kill someone.

But if you do, it's inspirational as fuck.

[bipolar-bear]

This is the problem with you people, you judge art based complexity and difficulty like you're robots. Good art doesn't need any of that.

exactly my view on alot of posters in alot of eminem forums.

[Manly Moose]

i never said it wasn't part of the same story i said it didn't have a smart concept like 97 b&c dipshit

That's like saying "Home Alone doesn't have as good a concept as Home Alone 2." It's the same fucking concept.

The concept of 97 B&C is him telling his kid about her moms murder (which he commits) in baby talk. The concept of Kim is him killing his wife.
It isnt the same, its the same story but not close to the same concept

This was said in a previous post that you quoted. How the fuck did you not read it?
