Love Game

About this song

Kendrick Lamar is the only guest MC on the album MMLP2, and this is the only feature between Eminem and Kendrick so far. The song is described as possibly one of the biggest extended metaphors Eminem has ever done.

What it's about

The song uses a game of love as a metaphor for romance. The love game involves no commitment, and the people in it can't leave even when it becomes too much to handle, because they don't want to be alone forever.
