The BIG, MJ, Pimp C, and Pac are understandable it makes sense why he'd reference them
but Em and Wayne? stop.
its laughable when some of you are aghast behind this nonsense lol.
He's referencing the great rappers in the past generation that are no longer here. And then he switches to rappers people consider are this generations greats who are/were headed down a bleak path. How does that cheapen the verse?
It's just above your head. Don't even ask Jay how.
that's a typical response from somewhat who blindly accepts whatever they are told...or simply a stan that really doesn't have any knowledge of lyrical interpretation.
just because he uses the phrase "losing myself" people jump and assume he's referencing Eminem because he has a song called "Lose Myself" and that is just dumb to be honest with you.
that section of the verse is in reference to himself..not Wayne or Em..point blank.
The man has cited many times on record the toll that the industry has taken on his family, relationships, etc.
would it kill you guys to deduce that the man's lyrics don't have to have some latent meaning 100% of the time
and the references themselves wouldn't cheapen the verse if they did in fact exist...its being cheapened by you guys reaching and having other misguided ppl taking it as the gospel foolishly.
