    Good song. Featuring Kendrick Lamar too, can't go wrong. Wish I was going to see him at ABC tonight.

    i kendrick back on his section 80 vibe really hope his next album is more towards that sound as good as good kid mad city was it's not kendrick at his best and not what hip hop needs we need more artists like ab soul and lupe who aren't afraid to talk about controversial issues and make the point that most artist right now aren't rapping about * other than money and parties

    I'll have you know this song was part of my summer! Haha. I was in America working though...and one was my best mates, the basketball coach at the summer camp was a huge Mac Miller fan. Probably brain washed me.


    Good song though!

    True!

    One of my favorite songs. Still think Lupe is one of the best out there, but because of his content he will never be as successful as the Lil Wayne type who just raps nonsense half the time.

    Phi-Life Cypher, Lowkey, Wordsmith, Jehst, Rhyme Asylum, Newham Generals, Foreign Beggars, Some Dizzee Rascal, Devlin, Mic Righteous, Akala, Harry Shotta and Sway.

    There's quite a few very good artists....Kyza is another one, there'll be more ones I've forgotten.....this tune's called Harsh Reality, not My Reality.

    Skylar Grey, an unbelievably talented singer/song writer... and Eminem, possible the best or one of the top 3 rappers ever... both ripping the complete * out of the music industry today and the pish that some artists come out with now a days.

    She has already stated in interviews that it was a combined effort from her, Eminem and director Isaac Rentz and she wanted to make sure people realised it is a sarcastic song/video.

    Like the line says... ''I'm only * with you, * you for thinking it's true.''

    Eminem just having a laugh too, something he has to do because most of his stuff can be quite heavy! Every now and then he does this kind of thing!

    Anyone sick of this yet?

    I love their album, but this song has been a bit overplayed! Still a tune.

    Its been played to death on the tv channels but some of the lines are * hilarious. Seen its gone double platinum now wich is great to see for macklemore and ryan lewis to get an album to number 1 in the us charts and now this without the backing of a major label is incredible. Can't wait for them to do another European tour was raging they didn't do Glasgow last year
