Stay Wide Awake

[njolinjo]

The 3rd verse is mind blowing. If you're a rapper and you study the craft you'll understand why.

 

[Already Home_17]

its def. underrated

Yea this shit is ridiculous, Im not really a fan but nobody write verses like that

lyrically one of the coldest songs of all time

yea 3rd verse is amazing

bound ya thats how they found ya

Not sure if it is top 5, but it's a superb track. Incredibly impressive technical performance by Em. I still bump it to this day along with a few other Relapse tracks such as Deja Vu and Same Song and Dance. That album had some amazing songs (and a few awful ones as well).

 

[dreadlock rasta]

This was my shit on this cd

 

[SunZoo_aka_LC]

Eminem is so overrated.. Whites and indians are infatuated by him smh

 

[nujerz84]

Lyrically and flow on point..... Content is trash and the accent is wack....

 

[will blax]

yea this song was dope!

 

[JerfyT]

Great track, and yeah 3rd verse is fucking ridiculous

 

[southernmade]

One of my favorite Em tracks....dre did the fool on this beat too. I thought the he killed that second verse but overall the song is dope.....I don't mind this kind of horrocore shit.....you can miss me with that other shit though

 

['nino'jacob]

whats so great about it? sounds wack to me

 

[L3NU]

3rd verse was cool but why is everyone so infatuated with it?

to me his 2nd verse was what made this song one of his top 5

 

[ROFL.GUY]

only song i ever heard where entire sentences are ryhmed

probably EM's best work as a MC from a technical standpoint

the schemes + flow are top 5

 

[njolinjo]

The tempo of the flow, I think switches up the flow all in one verse. Thats what makes verse 3 amazing from a technical stand point.

I feel like this is one of the songs where his experiment of using a different voice and more than extreme content works.

Its a cold, cold track and never gets discussed. There are not many Eminem tracks I can put above it. Only one that compares is Soldier.

And oh yeh, the WHOLE Relapse album serves a defense document to all those that think Dr Dre is done. He laced Em with some heaters. Stay Wide Awake is best of all.

I can cosign this post right here. Especially the beat for this song right here. It might be one of the best Dre beats of all time, in fact it sounds so much superior to most of the beats Em has ever rapped on.

 

[thewave19]

DeJa Vu the best track

 

[DarthRozay]

So people do like wicked shit

ima knock you out genocide
