WTF is wrong with this dude Eminem? This album is his 808 & Heartbreak. Eminem finally exorcises his Proof ghost on wax and I have to admit that Eminem went in gheyer than Drake. How did he manage that? With the worst singing ever on a rap album. EVAR! When Eminem harmonizes he makes Biz Markie sound like Ronald Isley.
I feel like there is a song on this album where Eminem speaks on going thru a sex change. This is a departure from his usual emo suicidal tendencies. Proof’s death was fucked the fuck up that’s for sure, but to cut your stick off is some other shit. This older instrospective Eminem is gheyer than a bag of dildos.
Oh wait a minnit… There’s a song eviscerating his ex-wife. He’s back. But no. This anthem filled Eminem is making rap into a fistpumping exercise [ll]. Yeah, the Situation will be masturbating to this album. If you hated the fake accents Eminem employed in Relapse (and I didn’t) you will hate the falsetto singing on the hooks. Eminem also namechecks KanYe in several songs.
WTF is this shit?!? My favorite song on the album is a Pink feature?
Am I going ghey?
Damn you Marshall Mathers!
‘Won’t Back Down’ featuring Pink
’25 To Life’
‘???’
The lyrical beast doesn’t show his face until the last untitled track on the album. I understand that Eminem had to express his love for his fallen brother and I hope that he finally realizes the way to shout out to your people is to be your best manimal. Unbowed and undefeated. There are too many songs on this album that require you to hold a candle in the air.
At a rap show in Detroit’s Ford Field this album means you are gonna need hell’a deoderant.
eminem’s been sexually confused since his duet with elton john
Boo this man.
“Yeah, the Situation will be masturbating to this album.”
^LMAO!
Word, i aint diggin his choruses. Too much singing hooks and Bridges.
Flick-ya-Bic Rap.
not a fan of the singing…..but his writing/rapping is pretty incredible.
Treeea-ted!!! The Voice needs to have you writing album reviews.
I was uncomfortable with this album until the last track. He still has it, but “I can’t get jiggy with this shit!”
i truly understand your guys comments even dallas topic about em´s new album, but eminem is not only a hiphop artist, he´s a com.arstist with a huge brand. i think the feats speak for them self he´s a pop artist.
DJ KHALIL IS A BEAST, He the right hand for DR.DRE!!!!
No idea what yall are listening to, but I’ve put off listening to this until just now (aka today). This shit is serious.
I can understand questioning its production–that’s opinion. But his near-perfect cadence versatility, delivery, and lyrical content/complexity on most of these tracks are undeniable.
Yeah this shit is one of the best displays of spitting I’ve ever heard by one artist over 17 tracks. He beast fucks every verse on this shit maybe with the exception of that “So Bad” track with the horrible Dre beat we’ve seemingly heard a million times. Em is spitting hard on every track, his flow is ridiculous throughout and he’s clever/corny with the punchlines throughout. Not to mention, the dude seems to just be getting on tracks with Wayne to obliterate him, but I do love Wayne’s energetic adlibbing throughout Em’s verse. Some of the beats are subpar (though this is definitely the best produced Em album thus far) and the hooks on this shit are god awful. But the rapping, the verses, good lord I didn’t think he had it in him to be this passionate about his art at this point in his career.
The most puzzling shit about this album though is that with the Alchemist as his tour dj and around him quite often it’s ridiculous that he doesn’t have any beats on this album. Hell he should’ve produced the whole thing, as his dark, brooding sound is perfect for Em and has been what Em has unsuccessfully trying to replicate for the duration of his career as a producer.
I was hoping that a real Eminem stan would have the guts to admit that the hardest, realest, best track on this CD was the last one. The album is a clear attempt not to crossover, but at something worse… To be featured on a Ryan Seacrest countdown show.
Em would’ve been Ryan Seacrest on Bizzaro World.
The best track is the last one because Havoc was on the beat and Em was just spitting for the duration, doing what he does best. I’m more impressed that I had completely written dude off after the farting noises, Triumph impressions, and random Arabian accents on his last two efforts. He had become a joke then he dropped this shit and it seems like he’s consciously trying to cement his status as one of the greats.
