Eminem 8th studio album "Revival" 12/15/17

[Mr.LV]

Tracklisting of Disc 2 was a cruel joke :bawling:

 

[KnowReasonForPeace]

My take away from this album after 2 playthroughs is it's only a handful of niggas who can hang with em with rapping or out rap him period, but focusing too much on that shit, rapping over trash ass beats and having shitty guest makes me give this album a 2/10 and 2 is only for the two songs i like.

i completely disagree lol Em isn't anything to fear on the mic in my ears. he'd get washed by real mc's. I listened to that styles p and nino joint right after and there's no comparison styles would kill Em. just my opinion. Em far from wack but i'd be more worried about big sean... lol that might be a stretch but i heard better verses on that sean and metro joint.

As for the lp i really was expecting some pure trash if put on Hiphop beats the lp might be dope. it felt like i was listening to logic. with all the producers in the game there's no way someone of em stature should've dropped a lp fully of tracks like that. but i'd give it a low 3 outta 5 maybe a 2.9 because of beats

To me Em going went down the same path as canibus. Nigga became all about lyrics after mic club, and the only dope song he put out after that was poet laureate.

 

[KnowReasonForPeace]

He just a rappity rap nigga now. It would be ok if he had better beat selection.

 

[Stew]

Stew what's your opinion?

lol I havnt heard it yet. I was headed to the gym when @eyerone hit me with the link, was takin too long to download but told me to not play it while workin out if it worked lmao..... I seen the instant reviews and it reminded of me how I felt when I seen the tracklist so Ill peep it at some point tomorrow ready to be disappointed and come back with a review.

Found this review lol

Wow, that was tough, listened to it front to back, had to take breaks every couple songs cause it really was a chore getting through this, the last 12 seconds of the album are the sounds of a toilet flushing, can only assume thats a subliminal aimed at the listeners. Heres a quick break down of the album

1-walk on water:no beat to rank, lyrics are Em complaining about people complaining about him.

2-believe:beat is tolerable, better suited for someone else, em bites the "new rap" flow and asks in a most cringe worthy manner if the consuming public still believes, general consensus is they do not.

3-chlorasepticrobably the most tolerable song on the album, but not very good, Em experiments with his Big Sean/Drake flows over a beat that blends Gucci mane trap drums and Diplomats esque operatics

4-Untouchable:Em speaking up for the plight of young black males in America over a beat that most certainly alienates most residents of any urban environment.

5-River:Em rapping about male/female dynamics over pop beat with pop hook.

6/7 Remind me:Em rapping about male/female dynamics over rock track with rock hook.

8-Revival interlude:A clip from a Florence & The Machine album or something, i dunno.

9-Like Home:Love song for 'merica, softer than a chinchilla rabbit hybrid.

10-Bad Husband:Em rapping about the married male/female dynamics over a folk-hop beat with a folk-rock chorus.

11-Tragic Endings:Em rapping about more male/female dynamics over a wack beat with a chorus by Skylar Grey that is anything but hip hop

12-Framed:Em back on his Slim Shady killin broads shyt, out of place on this album, beat sounds like a leftover from Cypress Hills 4th album. Nothing special but I imagine the Stanley's will regard this as the standout record.

13-Nowhere Fast:Weird combination of Em rapping about social issues and also how he can't be faded on the mic. Beat is trash, conceptually the song lives up to its title

14-Heat:terrible bars abundant over another awful rock track.

15-Offended:Beat sounds unfinished, at one point Em raps the childrens song "nobody likes me, everybody hates me, matter as well go eat worms" perhaps that would be time better spent for him. He's on his Slim Shady steez here, again, seems out of place in relation to this body of work.

16-Need Me:Another relationship with problems song over a very un-hip hop beat, but this one has Pink singing for the first 2 minutes of it.

17-In Your Head:Sad sack rappin over rock samples.

18-Castleaddy daughter dedication over a tolerable beat and a tolerable hook. Maybe the most tolerable selection on the album and also offers some hope in that Em raps this is his last album, although, sadly I fear that wont be the case.

19-Arose:Em eulogizes himself, mourns Proof and has a living funeral for himself. Beat is garbage. Album closes with church organs and a toilet flushing. Symbolizing his career dying and the substance of what may be his final effort. Appropriate.

Overall 0.75/10

Loool

What the fck is this wackness??? I had hopes for a throwback album, I feel like his flow just makes every verse/song sound the same...

I think it sounds so much like a pop album its crazy thinking back to the old Em...

Dont think I will give it a second listen, but after the first listen:

1. Walker on Water *ehh not feeling it really*

2. Believe *not bad, clever lyrics still bit boring though, plus sounds like hes using the new rapper flow at times ended up skipping*

3. Chloraseptic *nah, skipped that wack schitt*

4. Untouchable *think its ok*

5. River *boring, it sounds too much like a pop song, skipped*

6. Remind Me *actually thought it was OK, ended up skipping it though*

7. Like Home *AT LAST, a song I can listen too, not bad*

8. Bad Husband *dont like the beat or the chorus, the spitting is ok though, had to skip in the end though*

9. Tragic *think it sounds the same and same old subject matter, skipped*

10. Framed *skipped, at least it sounds different though, got it up there with the better songs of the album*

11. Nowhere *pop sounding AGAIN, these choruses and verses just sound the same, skipped*

12. Heat *sounds different, not bad... I like the old skool feel to it, close to skipping but the beat keeps me listening... edit ended up skipping*

13. Offended *AT LAST, another decent song, dope skills, still the flow is still pretty repetitive though, ended up skipping in the end*

14. Need Me *same sounding pop chorus again, verse was ok but just ends up boring me to press skip, especially when the chorus kicks in*

15. In Your Head *yeah feeling this tune, like the beat and verse is dope*

16. Castle *wow, two dope songs in a row, yeah like this tune too*

17. Arose *another decent tune, thought it was a clever ending and the last 3 tracks were dope*

So overall I really felt 3 tracks overall, I think tracks 15, 16, 17 are the only songs I wanna hear more than once, at least it finished on a high note, about the only positive to take out of it...

This nigga @LcnsdbyROYALTY giving us a play by play commentary review and shit but NO LANK..

Scust. Pure Scust.

I've been giving the link to those who ask

 

[blue_london]

Sooo is it his worse album?

 

[Busta Carmichael]

Sooo is it his worse album?

By far

 

[Busta Carmichael]

I still think he leaked it on purpose to get people in their feelings saying he fell off.

Then on friday he'll release the real album.

Would've been one of the greatest twists in hip hop tho

Spoiler

Nah that was a fire bar actually

 

[StoneColdMikey]

So is it bad because of the production? Or the raps are just as bad?

If he doesn't its over.

No rapper in the top 5 discussion has dropped 5 trash albums in a row.

They dropped 2 duds in a row at the most.

Eminem has drastically been kicked off his spot.

Who's taking that spot now?

The production and the features for the most part are diarrhea...

 

[CeLLaR-DooR]

Guys let's not act like the bars are fire tho'

Lol and this is the guy they compare with Big and Hov?

The "hot bars" from the album:

'Cause you should be up in the sky, girl, you're so fukking fly

You belong in the mile high club

fukkin' 'fore we get to the house, screwin' our brains out

Like changing a lightbulb

I'm wrapped around her finger

A yo-yo on a string

She lets me sit there and just dangle

Donald Duck's on the tonka truck stuck in the yard

Two ass cheek implants, call that an asset

Cause you could stick a glass on it, it's massive

Sorry if I'm being graphic, but I'm stiff as a statue

You sat on a shelf, I feel like I'm a bust

But just like a girl who thinks her coochie doesn't stink

Asked her in she wants a computer shoved up her vagina

Said my dikk is an Apple

She said "put it inside her"

Cause it just died like "ooh, food coloring, duh"

Today wasn't my birthday

But I'm caked up like a dessert tray

I'm swimming in that Egyptian River cause I'm in denial (the Nile)

As I recall that's the worst song on there

Only played the album once so far.Still peeping it,but it gets very suspect in the middle.
