Good argument . I actually like the weird crazy eminem except on encore but that wasn't even that bad lol
I don't know. Relapse to me had much more cohesion. He experimented with flows but despite the accents it was still incredibly rhythmic. To the point that it got me rethinking the way rappers could flow on tracks. His multis were also incredibly dense but sharp as fuck. He even found ways to make words that don't rhyme still make incredible sense and have great rhythm.
Dude was in tune with that groove on that album and even the haters know those were some of the best beats Dre has made in years. I don't even see the comparison tbh. I think Recovery and this would be a better comparison. They're far more similar. I think he reached his peak with Relapse in terms of being symbiotic with the tracks. He hasn't had flows and rhyme schemes as good ever since. Same with the beats.
It was the last remnants of the "Old Eminem" and people didn't appreciate it enough for that I guess. That really did sound like a return of Slim Shady/Marshall Mathers. He rode every single beat with extreme precision. No choppy flows like on this new album here. I can't get with this alternative rap Eminem. I've outgrown the guy's output. It doesn't resonate with 30 year old me the same way it did with 15 or even 20 year old me anymore.

Good to see some love for Relapse on here I thought that album was extremely dope and well executed.
I like this album though for the most part the production isn't touching Relapse though. He's still sharp on this one he dropped the accents. Would've been a little bit better if he did more with the hooks on this album instead of getting generic chicks to sing on them.
But the bars are tough and he's talking about shit plus throwing in metaphors and changing up his flow.
Lmao at alternative Em but that's not a far off label. I don't think most of hip hop is moving me the same way it did when I was a teenager. I think music in general is much more impressionable on you when you are younger. When you get older shit becomes less important because there's adult shit you have deal with.

Can't agree with this. Music is life and life is rhythm. Powerful music will resonate with you no matter what age you are if you're truly an authentic music lover. There have been plenty of albums that have been released during my adulthood that I would consider "important" and relevant. Albums that always hold me down and cheer me up whenever I need to sit back and hit an L with a good LP playing in the background. Unfortunately this wasn't one of them.
