Eminem Has A Winner With Big Sean & BabyTron-Assisted "Tobey" 07/02/2024
This single lives up to the hype, as all three Michigan rappers deliver slick flows and clever bars.
Fans were uncontrollably excited for Eminem to drop "Houdini" when the single was announced. While it is running up the streams, there is a decently large camp that is not messing with the track. The complaints surrounding it are that a fair number of the bars are corny, and the flows are awkward. While it was his mission to revive that classic Slim Shady goofiness, the magic was not recaptured entirely. However, Eminem haters are going to have a hard time tearing down "Tobey".
The legendary Detroit MC announced the second promotional record from The Death of Slim Shady a few days ago, and a lot of people were a little nervous. Some felt that this could be one of the better songs of 2024 or one of the worst. Fortunately, the former is a more accurate way to describe it, as Em, Big Sean, and BabyTron all rap with serious hunger. The latter was a surprising grab for most, but when you think about it, Tron's style is fairly similar. The Ypsilanti native also loves to incorporate odd and humorous bars into his verses and the same is true on "Tobey". He handles the chorus and the opening verse and does a great job of setting the tone.
Then, the second generation of Michigan rap stars, Big Sean, comes in. He also kills it with speedy flows and carries the momentum effortlessly. Eminem then finishes things off with a more serious tone, as he focuses on his legacy and where he feels he deserves to be in hip-hop lore. Finally, what about the instrumental? This time around it is more minimal with main feature being twinkling and ghostly keys with some swelling synths, guitar, and lowkey drums laying underneath. Overall, "Tobey" is a very great effort from Eminem and figures to have a lot of replay value when the album drops.

'Quotable Lyrics:
Life is a gamble and I'm playin' slots
Pull it down, close my eyes, and I pray I win tokens
All wide, no pop, how we drive
BD come and took a baby sip, still tasted this potent
One of one, sittin' right the stars, double R
Finna race, yeah, the wraith like a spaceship, it's floatin
Life is a gamble and I'm playin' slots
Pull it down, close my eyes, and I pray I win tokens
All wide, no pop, how we drive
BD come and took a baby sip, still tasted this potent
One of one, sittin' right the stars, double R
Finna race, yeah, the wraith like a spaceship, it's floatin
Killer Mike Speaks On His Arrest At The GRAMMYs On "HUMBLE ME" 07/01/2024
Killer Mike was involved in a lot of controversy at this year's GRAMMY Awards. The veteran lyricist from Atlanta was nominated for three categories --Best Rap Album, Best Rap Song, and Best Rap Performance-- and took home the honors in each one. For a lot of casual rap fans, it was an utter shocker, but it was also quite surprising overall. Not only did Mike usurp Travis Scott, Drake, Metro Boomin and more, but he also got the attention from an inconsistent panel of voters. However, the night was a bittersweet one. The Run The Jewels rapper would be arrested for a misdemeanor battery charge in the nearby area surrounding the award show. Overall, this is why we have this new Killer Mike single, "HUMBLE ME", in front of us.
This is his first release since dropping a longer version of "EXIT 9" with Offset a few months ago. On "HUMBLE ME", Killer Mike compares his ordeal to the Biblical story about Daniel and the lion's den, according to Billboard. The accompanying visuals are equally powerful, as it shows him losing his chains, rings, and other expensive pieces, just like how he was stripped of his moment at the GRAMMYs. Additionally, his son Mikael “Pony Boy” Render makes an appearance in the video, too after his life-altering kidney transplant. This song is the perfect encapsulation of something good coming out of something negative.

Quotable Lyrics:
I won at the Grammys for spitting my grammar, did that for Atlanta
Did that for Atlanta bruh, swept up like a janitor
Got sent to the slammer bruh
Treat me like an animal or some kind of hannibal, vicious and cannibal
The devil be doing you, right when you doing it, the devil will ruin you
Behind me Satan I walk out the door with my head up and handcuffs with pride
I won at the Grammys for spitting my grammar, did that for Atlanta
Did that for Atlanta bruh, swept up like a janitor
Got sent to the slammer bruh
Treat me like an animal or some kind of hannibal, vicious and cannibal
The devil be doing you, right when you doing it, the devil will ruin you
Behind me Satan I walk out the door with my head up and handcuffs with pride
