When I spoke with Shady recently he mentioned that he enjoys working with different producers because he doesn’t want all his music to sound ‘samey.’ He is in search of a variety that represents his own diverse tastes, and that puts this song into a neat context. While his Green Ova cohorts have made few nods to the Hipnotize Minds sound in the past, Shady himself has never really engaged it, at least not to the extent we see here. So this is one more musical locale for him to visit on what promises to be an extensive multi-destination pilgrimage.
