"And I try not to listen to nonsense, but if you bi****s are trying to strip me of my confidence? Mission accomplished. I'm not God sent... Nas, Rakim, Pac, Big, James Todd Smith, And I'm not Prince." - Eminem

Just heard the reference and YES Em you are not Prince not even close.

That is one hell of a song... never thought I would say that about Eminem or new hip hop in general.... but well fucking done.

Wow...what a horrible song.

Its good! Really heartfelt and thoughtful lyrics. What rapper talks about how he has fell off and insecure about even doing it anymore in his own song? Nice work!

Gave this a few spins earlier n 2 my folks who were Em fans. Kinda dope, catchy. Bey's part is well done. Em tryin. He killed it w/ last line about writing "Stan". So like him . As 4 P line. I thought it was a diss reading it here, but it was a nice, if unnecessary shoutout .

He ain't Dj Quik either... when you mention Prince in a song, you do something like this:

the song is trash...Eminem been wack since after his 2nd album...

lol

It's the curse of the standard
That the first of the Mathers discs set
Always in search of the verse that I haven't spit yet
Will this step just be another misstep
To tarnish whatever the legacy, love or respect
I’ve garnered? The rhyme has to be perfect, the delivery flawless
And it always feels like I’m hittin' the mark
’Til I go sit in the car, listen and pick it apart
Like, "This shit is garbage!"
God's given me all this, still I feel no different regardless
Kids look to me as a god, this is retarded
If only they knew, it's a facade and it's exhaustive
And I try not to listen to nonsense
But if you bitches are tryin’ to strip me of my confidence
Mission accomplished
I'm not God-sent, Nas, Rakim, Pac, B.I.G., James Todd Smith
And I'm not Prince, so…

So tired of all this "back in my day" talk dont nobody care about no damn Run DMC and Public Enemy 30 years ago hey day songs right now, catch up to the times. If Prince can jam to Kendrick in his final moments why can't YOU?

Prince liked Kendrick ? Nice!

Words are inciteful...

But if you listen to it through the eyes of music and the timing/groove/rhythm, it doesn't make much of an impact..

It's 2017, and we still have some who use such old fashioned, derogatory words as 'retarded'. Great lyricist...not! If only we could lock away people like him (i.e 50 Cent) and throw away the key.

Eminem is still one of the illes lyricists in the game.

Not even worth to argue with non Em fans they dont understand

Eminem should've thrown in the towel after The Eminem Show.

New artists trying to do their thang is all well and good, but don't diss the fathers that did it first. Respect for the old skool who put rap on the map. Peace!

I'm not really an Em fan; I can take him or leave him, but he has his own unique style and he could rap his way out of a paper bag. Gotta give him credit.
