After his MTV Video Music Awards performances last night, The New York Post has published a new interview with the Detroit, Michigan Hip Hop superstar. The newspaper asked Eminem about the affects of his pain-killer habit on making the Encore and Relapse, albums. Speaking specifically to the 2009 platinum Relapse, Eminem revealed, “There was definitely a lapse in personal honesty on Relapse, and there’s honesty on Recovery.” The latter is Eminem’s top-selling 2010 album.
Additionally, the emcee/producer veteran spoke about his reaction to Relapse now, the album that prompted hits such as “We Made You” and “Beautiful.” “When I felt [disappointment in Relapse] was later, when I was reassessing my work — trying to figure out why my songs didn’t sound like they used to sound,” explained Em. ‘The further I got away from Relapse, I was able to hear the problems with all the accents I was using to slip in and out of characters, and how the serial killing didn’t work. The joke was over — I ran it into the ground.”
Relapse > Recovery.
3 am in my opinion on of Shady best songs.. 😉 still put it on sometime
both great albums. lyrically, relapse was off the hook. the way he put words together was insane. subject matter wise, recovery wins
I agree.
that’s $27.97 right there.
at $9.99 a pop
Glad Em finally recognized that. Relapse was hot garbage and had like two good songs.
man eminem sucks dick. i know it’s his gimmick to use a bunch of stupid ass voices in his songs, but shit gets tired. going back the only albums i can listen to are infinite and the slim shady lp. and even the slim shady lp isn’t THAT good. he should just hang up the towel or stop trying to be a cartoon
What the fuck are you talking about?
All his albums are still listenable in my opinion. Excepy Encore and Relapse, no matter how people say Em fell off…they can at least go back and enjoy SSLP, MMLP, TES, but you just a hater…i think your tryna make it seem like you hate for eminem is validated becuase you can name two of his albums. Stop hating
no . . . me naming two albums is not my validation for anything, the fact that it’s my opinion is validation enough. I guess i am hating, but i’m hating because something sucks and i think it sucks. so you can keep hating on my because i have an opinion, but it doesn’t change the fact that i think pretty much everything eminem has done is basically flawed by the fact that he thinks he’s a cartoon and feels the need to rap in this rather exaggerated voice. even the songs where he doesn’t use the voice like toy soldiers and shit sucked pretty bad. he’s just not on the tip he was on infinite.
i thought they were both dope, i found relapse entertaining as hell.
Who wouldn’t say the same when they spent $24.99
make a compliment.
great way to protect your investment.
I totally agree with some of the guys here on Relapse. Lyrically it was ,simply, SOLID. It’s just the subject matters+accent that took it to the ground. U cann’t be a true lyrics\Rhyme lover & hate that part of relapse, it was as Insane as ever. Recovery Wins by a mile in terms of subjects chosen.
You have to respect an artist when they take their work personally, because it gives the album more meaning. He personally feels that Recovery is more real than Relapse. I agree.
Eminem is a legend he will always live on in hip hop no matter what anybody says hes a lyrical genius.
Em selling out with them tight pants tucked into his shoes and wallet chain dont get mad stans its the truth dude tryna look like drake n wayne
Maybe he’s just adapting to the times? Was it cool to wear tight tie-die dress shirts from the 70s in the 90s?
So, you keep wearing your baggie over-sized jeans and t-shirt down to your knees — style from the 90s.
It’s 2010, that was 20 years ago.
its called evolving you crackhead baby… he is almost 40 yrs old and realizes he looks like a fukin idiot at that age wearin his pants four sizes too big and hangin off his ass. with a comment like that you shouldnt be using the nickname “wiz”!!!
THATS WHY EM IS THE GREATEST… HE KNOWS HE FUCKED UP AND HES APPROACHING 3MIL+
and the label is approaching 1.5
WIZ bro that shit u sayin is so irrelevant dont nobody give a fuck about no damn chain hangin from no pants he aint tryna look like no drake and wayne and drake dont even do that shit lmao niggas always got some bullshit to say u talkin like this nigga got on a tight shirt skinn jeans and designs cut in his head nigga be quiet..lmao nice ass performance
you just wanted your $89.99 to sound like a good investment.
I wonder what his excuse for Recovery will be on his next album? He’s been apolizing for shitty music for a few albums now. Maybe he’s outgrown music and is just fulfilling contracts at this point. He came with the lyrics and flow on Recovery but used some of the softest beats known to mankind.
http://www.youtube.com/nonsense913
He wont have to apologize, cause Recovery is a dope album. The overall reception to Recovery has been positive, as opposed to the last 2.
Relapse was garbage erased almost every song from my itunes
good post.
I erased the word itunes from my vocabulary
lol….i only itunes i use is on my iphone homie.
i still but albums in the stores best buy, FYE or mom and pop stores.
relapse is a good comeback album…
I preffer Em’s old shit – he needs to mature now and quit playing the gimmick game and just put good music out
LOL @ that comment, on Recovery I think he pretty much did mature
his marketing team matured.
Does Eminem really even make his own decisions?
think about it.
Relapse definitely wasn’t his best, but it felt like a suitable return with the regular skits on it and themes and such. Recovery was a little better, but the varied producers and strange guest list made it feel really strange throughout, even though it had a common theme.
Relapse > Recovery
Atleast on Relapse he had good beats on most of the songs
relapse was 5oo times better than that new shit. i cant stand the fucker anymore
I think eminem sold out with this new album.. he would never do a song with someone like lil wayne back in his raw days!! the album is all around a good job if your someone other then eminem.. it doesnt sound like something he would put together.. the beats and guest spots are horrible and i am a eminem fan since he first came out!! i just miss the old eminem when it was all about lyrical fire and hard hitting beats!! but… i understand he is older now and everything but that doesnt mean he should sell out to fit in with what these kids like now and days!! Relapse was fuckin crazy and had that eminem feel to it. this new shit has a drake, lil wayne, kanye, new age rap feel to it.
he done a duet with elton john “back in his raw days” so you and everyone else on here hating the greatest rapper of all time can just kindly shut the fuck up.
The fuck’s up with people saying he’s a sellout for doing a track with wayne?? Jay-Z did a track with him, so is he a sellout?
@cealix
you think jayz helps people?
@BWS-FISH How the fuck am i hating when i said i am a eminem fan?? i am giving my personal opinion!! he did that song with Elton John for a reason you stupid idiot!! he was getting a lot of bad feed back from gays so he said fuck this and did a song with the the gays ”MVP” (elton john) to basically tell the world to kiss his ass!! thats why at the end of the performance he stuck up his middle finger! so you can kindly learn how to read and understand b4 making comments!
Ronnie Guess? u truly are a spastic. I don’t give a shit what the reason was for doing a song with elton john, i really don’t. The fact is he done a duet with an openly gay piano player and then you’re comin on here moaning because he recorded with Lil Wayne?!?!? I know which of those two I think is more credible )and its not the fat middle aged ginger man who shoves cocks up his ass)
Lil wayne has featured on tracks for just about every artist out there at the minute, so uve just disrespected about a good solid half of hip hoo artists. I suppose you’ll turn on Tech N9ne when he records with him. GTFOH.
Well i am glad you said that.. because a good solid half of todays hip-hop artist are sell outs and its all about the money now!! so why the fuck wouldnt they do a song with lil wayne?? they are doing it for the money you dumb ass!! and all i was saying was the reason why he did a song with elton john! and it was because the ”gay” side of the world was pissed at him for all the gay jokes!! wake up! why do you think these rap artist get features on their songs?? their lable tells them who is hot right now and who is going to help them make money off of a record.. so they do the feature!! and just so you know i will turn my back on whoever sells out for money!! and since a good solid half of the industury sold out, my back is turned! fuck outta here!!
I hear plenty of problems with Recovery too.
Namely a shitty guest list, corny production and an overabundance of punchlines that sound like they were written by a 5th grader.
I really wish Em would stop bashing Relapse, he’s coming off as a pussy about it.
a pussy???? not so much you sound like a HATER.
i actually like relapse. every album can be different and have its on character and thats how relapse was. the world pLAy and rhyme patterns were insane and the beats were fit for him.
recovery is a totally different album all the way around even tho the album titles try to make a connection. i agree that EM is trying to soften the blow from critics and fans about the last album but it has its own identity and i can bump more songs off of relapse than i can off of recovery.
to the guy below
he didnt sell out at all. he smartened up.
if he didnt make a more received album this time around SOOOO MANY OF “FANS” would be saying that he is washed up and cant keep up with the times. so MAKE UP YOUR MINDS.
im a big em fan but i dont like him the way i used to. relapse wasn’t great and RECOVERY sounds to pop and he sounds even more depressed in it. i like relapse more now that i think about…i thought he was back wen he came out wit that mariah carey diss but hes still got some rebounding to do
Honestly, I’m tired of hearing Eminem… Granted, lyrically, he’s still untouchable. I wish someone would try. That’d bring the fire We’re all complaining about missing. I also wanna hear that “My life is full of empty promises and broken dreams/ & I’m hoping things look up/ but there ain’t no job openings”~Rock Bottom(if you were under a rock) type sh!t again. His voice is beginning to be annoying as fuck. 3am was dope(someone mentioned it) on Recovery. On Fire was too(on Relapse)… I woulda rather him went at the people he was saying he shouldn’t of gone at(TIP,Kanye,Lil Zane(lol-Wayne w/e). I’d love a Joell,Em collab. Overall, he should stop dick riding and complaining and get hungry again.
So, let me get this straight
You quoted Rock Bottom lyrics and said you wanne hear that from eminem again, right??
So, basically, you want a guy with a bottomless pit for a bank account to complain about their being “No Job Openings”??
SMH……..If That rich asshole makes a song like that today I might jump over his security and slap him
this dude em ain’t gettin blow job openings now matter how bottomless the pit is.
that’s the point.
He can say what he wants, but Recovery was just a weak album full of pop-songs and whatever’s popular now-a-days.
Relapse, at least, was funny. Recovery was mundane.
First of all everyone stop saying someone is hater if they don’t like it. I didn’t like relapse or recovery they’re nothing like his past albums and this a bad thing, he has guest artists like lil wayne, pink & etc. He is not the best of all time, these albums are the low point in his career lyrically and with the beats. If recovery came out in the 90’s no question about it, it wouldn’t sell to any real hip hop fan it’s a pop album. Lyrically it would be considered below average for that time but he’s capitalizing on a weak mainstream right now. There are many rappers who are better and deserve more recognition.
best post
Did you forget why he stopped rapping about killing people, his mom, his ex-wife, his daughter, his past life, things that made him depressed, and so on?
BECAUSE HE FUCKING RAPPED ABOUT THAT SHIT FROM SSLP THROUGH HALF OF RELAPSE! Did you forget who complained about him rapping about the same shit over and over and over again?
“All he does is talk about his stupid life, himself not being noted as one of the best, drugs, and killing people. IT’S GETTING OLD!”
@cealix
You spent 6 figures on this guy?
You know, you recycle that money statement as much as Em rags on his mom.
Must be a Stan…
you’re the one recycling the money statement.
I’m erasin it.
Cinderella Man is a pop song? Really? Thas the hottest song he’s made since TILL I COLLAPSE.
How bout yall just stop listenin to the radio??
You won’t find a bigger fan of Em than me, but geeze dude shut up about how bad relapse was. If you want to stand behind your product that bad, offer everyone a refund that bought it. It’s nice having someone take ownership of failure, but NEWSFLASH!! Recovery wasn’t that much better. Maybe Eminem’s music (MMLP,Eminem Show) just meant so much to me when it came out in my teenage years, that maybe if they were released today they wouldn’t have the same impact. That being said, his shit just isn’t the same anymore.
he better give recovery another listen then cause its a pop record. relapse was dope and atleast its a hip-hop album
the beats on relapse are fuckin insane. and he’s way more lyrical on relapse regaurdless of the content- fuck outta here with all that high moral ground rlapse was too negative or played out.
Damn….you really are an idiot. I LOVE how “hip hop heads” have so much to say on these posts. These “heads” just want to say whatever is the opposite of what is reported/posted. You are fucking trash man. Relapse and Encore were unlistenable. Relapse sucks and shut the fuck up about the production. Sucked and only showed how much of a draw Eminem has – because that album was worse than a blank disc. Go play in traffic, Mr Expert.
hey what?!?,
talkin pretty greezy for a cross dresser with a butch tranny for a mother.
bullets in your neck fag.
Em contradicts himself by saying relapse lyrical content was played and then goes and gets played out generic mainstream beats r&b singers and top 100 song formulas that blow. GTFOH with that weak shit.
It’s amazing that so many comments read like the people writing them seem to completely ignore what he’s gone through physically and emotionally in the last few years. A drug addiction that put him on his death bed, a full blown relapse and rehab, all while watching “hip hop fans” endorse and support way below average quality music. He’s not eminem of ’99 or ’00. He’s eminem 2010. If you want to listen to his old shit, and I know we all do, go fuckin listen to his old shit. Why complain that a rapper doesn’t sound like he did when he was broke as shit and nobody would even listen to him cause he was white? No artist is going to sound the same after this kind of success, and why should they, so you can all complain that his shit all sounds the same. I don’t even know why I bother reading these comment sections, the ignorance and stupidity of ya’ll drives me up the wall.
your the ignorant naive consumer that dosnt realize the true reasons Em made recovery a watered down album.
fuckin duffus- shut your mouth and go hold EM’s hand.
Relapse was better Recovery is some mainstream bull shit. Don’t care What anyone thinks hiphop heads know the truth. Recovery is borderline wack.
Your wack with your weak bitch ass
Yaw jus a bunch of hatin ass niggaz for real. His shit is whack because he did a song wit Wayne? Both of dem niggaz is nice, and yaw niggaz sound ignorant as fuck sittin behind a monitor hatin on em. SMH
first Im a fan of both Em & Wayne’s work so this isnt anything to do with them.
Im talking about the fool who did this post using words like “yaw”, “dem” & “niggaz”. and hes the one calling people ignorant?
second its ya’ll not yaw
@Anonymous,
It’s actually y’all not ya’ll, correction fail. Contractions can be tricky, huh?
Relapse was good, and Recovery is my shit ones jus better than the other if you listen to both you can here the diff between the two but at the end of the day its still Eminem almost all his shit hot quit hatin
LOWKEY
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmBnvajSfWU
The new album is crap too. He is afraid to ruin his empire with anything controversial, its pathetic.
I don’t respect when rappers reflect on past work and admit it sucked, or that they somehow half assed it. Every artist has dud albums here and there. He could have just waited till he was fully motivated again.
now if only we could get the f—ing production from relapse and mesh it with the new inspired eminem= magic. trust me, go back and listen to how crisp the production is on relapse. the two albums side by side are miles apart on the production side.
true
Spot on. Relapse production was fire. Even the weird felching track and the first single. Dre brought the heat.
I want a Dre produced SLAUGHTERHOUSE album.
!!!!!!!!!!!!
can you guys sit and think about this whole eminem and lil wayne hate you guys keep mentioning… THINK ABOUT THIS, and think about it hard…. its obvious during his retirement before recovery and relaspe, that eminem was a Lil wayne fan, and when he started rapping. tell me why he had a single with lil wayne… THE ONLY OTHER GUY featuring on his album was lil wayne……… theres no hate at all… iuno if you guys know where im getting at… they just dont care about what you guys have to say.
then stop tellin people to buy an album about it
ohhh, they care what i say because i am GOD
Relapse was mad dope. Encore was fucking awful and uninspired. Relapse just had a different approach. I think he maybe wasnt quite as focused as he may have wanted to be but I still continue to jam that album. I suffer with pill addiction as well and “Deja Vu” is by far my fav em song. speaks to me in way i didnt know a song could. “3AM” i dont think anyone could doubt was the craziest concept from Slim yet. it might not be his favorite but it certainly was very enjoyable for me even if it has flaws….
THIS IS NOT NEWS
Recovery is just about as trash as Relapse was, both albums where rushed and his flow is just terrible and the same on every song on recovery….I also blame bitchass Dr. Dre for not even telling eminem that he needed to lose the accent since he produced Relapse…rip to eminem, his old shit was amazing but all those drugs fucked him up badly enough for him to make 3 consecutive mediocre/trash albums
fuck all you idiots who want the “old shady” back..hes not the insane broke rapper he once was..hes rich with no type of fucking problems and thats what he raps about. to ask him to rap about being a nobody poor son of a bitch is to ask him to be fake..
what does money have to do with talent
and why would you lose money as you got older?
@—–: what the hell are you talking about, man?
@facebook
you wish you knew
Rain Man (from Encore) is a classic!
yo why does everyone hate on eminem so much
it takes alot of courage to harshly critique your own work
what other rapper admits that their work was weak
you definitely dont get that shit with other rappers who are gassed as mother fuckers
like it or not eminem is a real dude yall just hate anyone whos successful
fuck you haters
and recovery was fire, if you really think “on fire” was the best track on the album you should hang yourself with a telephone wire
yall bitch ass fundementalist fake hip hop heads think anything without a hook is real
if it were up to you all, eminem would be underground gettin no love whatsoever
yall just love to see him down but it aint gonna happen cuz the son gotta shine
fuck you bitches in advancee
nobody hates the dude.
people don’t like the music.
they also don’t like people using eminem as an excuse to to write “fuck you bitches”
you’re interaction with eminem is man vs computer or tv,
you’re interaction with other posters is man vs man even though you view it on the computer screen.
em don’t respond to you.
the other posters can, and you can respond to them, otherwise you wouldn’t have posted in the first place.
fake hip hop heads- you sound like a fake non hip hop person.
Hello, Medicine Ball, 3 a.m. ,Must Be The Ganja, Stay Wide Awake, De’ja Vu, Underground, Same Song & Dance & Bagpipes from Baghdad…..And the list goes on, these songs on Relapse are incredible and he doesn’t want to admit it. C’mon Relapse was good! I have the vinyl LP and the cd!
your right. relapse was heat- people are so brainwashed.
Thank you. Finally people that tell the truth. Relapse is a good album and those tracks on Refill are great too. Relapse is more Slim Shady LP where as Recovery is more The Eminem Show. I personally love the Slim Shady persona. Its how he introduced himself to the world and how I became a fan.
ALL YOU IGNORANT CLONES DEFENDING RECOVERY ARE JUST IGNORANT CONSUMERS BELIEVING WHATEVER LIE EMINEM TELLS YOU. RECOVERY SUCKS AND EM IS SAYING HE SEE’S PROBLEMS WITH RELAPSE NOW BECAUSE HE’S TRYING TO CHANGE HIS IMAGE TO STAY MORE ACCESSIBLE IN TODAYS MORE PG MUSIC CLIMATE.Em contradicts himself by saying relapse lyrical content was played and then goes and gets played out generic mainstream beats, r&b singers and top 100 song formulas that blow. GTFOH with that weak shit. WAKE UP FOOLS.
I see your point about the contradiction. I think he was saying he himself played out the shady shtick, but yeah grabbing a bunch of R&B artists and doing soft hooks isn’t exactly original. But whatever I love both albums for different reasons but I do hear your well made point.
this is exactly what i said when relapse came out, but recovery was still garbage he is just washed up and old i want him to just stop rapping.
Who cares what any of you think, he still is one of the top all time sellers of our generation, RESPEKT!
Oh yeah I must have forgot: Hip Hop is about the numbers now generated by 80% white kids…that’s where it all started in the 70’s right
Thanks for your preaching
“Respect”
Fuck the money, he’s one of the nicest MC’s ever…and even the nicest MC’s will tell you that.
I get the feeling that ——-: is a retard
EMINEM IS SUCH A FAGG ! AND YOU GUYS RIDIN ON HIS DICK JUST BECAUSE DR. DRE GOT HIS BACK ARE NOTHIN BUT SOME DICK SUCKAS !
ONCE AGAIN : REAL FAGG MUSIC FOR HOMO PEOPLE
em stans will gladly gobble up whatever he puts out, even if it’s a collection of recordings of him taking a dump, so there’s no problem!
I think Eminem is a very good emcee, but I’m definitely not one of his Stans.
When Relapse came out, I was saying to the Stans, Nah he’s pullin’ some weird accents and shit, I don’t like it. And they vehemently denied it, sayin’, Nah he’s not, that’s how he sounds. Eminem’s admitted it. I guess that’s why they’re called Stans.
REAL TALK: RELAPSE WASN’T A CLASSIC BUT IT’S WAY BETTER THAN WHAT MOST PEOPLE THINK…. AND EMINEM IS THE GREATEST RAPPER ALIVE, I DON’T GIVE A FUCK WHAT NOBODY SAYS.
To mr, Relapse is better than Recovery. Recovery is watered down and weak. There’s some good songs on it, but there’s a lot of weak shit on there. Honestly, I think Recovery might be his worst album. There’s too much sing-songy shit on there and some of the beats are whack. To me it goes like this from best to worst…
1. Encore
2. The Marshalls Mathers LP
3. The Eminem Show
4. Relapse
5. The Slim Shady LP
6. Recovery
No disrespect but i gotta object to ya list. from best to worst IMO it should go like this:
The Eminem Show
The Marshall Mathers LP
Recovery
Relapse
Slim Shady LP
Encore
Like i said no disrespect, just my opinion
Both of yall are wrong.
1.Slim Shady LP
2.Infinite
3.Marshall Mathers LP
4.Relapse
5.Eminem Show.
6.Recovery
7.Encore
Mad Rockz has my list exactly in order. I’m not sure where I would put Infinite since it was so different, maybe tied w/ Encore. Slim Shady LP is not his best by any means, just has nostalgia value when we hear it. Some great tracks but if it had come out instead of relapse I think it would have gotten the same response relapse did…good, but not his best.
Best to worst.
1. Eminem Show
2. Marshall Mathers LP
3. Recovery
4. Encore
5. Relapse
6. Slim Shady LP
ENCORE NUMBER ONE!! You are crazy. It’s like this:
1. Marshall Mathers LP
2. Slim Shady EP
3. Slim Shady LP
4. Eminem Show
5. Relapse
6. Recovery
7. Encore (garbage, 4 good tracks max)
Yeah Slim Shady EP deserves a nod, it got him there and the 3 tracks they took off were fire. (Low Down, Shifty – Murder, Murder – No One’s Iller)
1) The Eminem Show
2) The Slim Shady LP
3) The Marshall Matthers LP
4) Recovery
5) Relapse
6) Encore
7) Infinite
You know whats wild is…..that Em’s worst shit is better than most rapper’s BEST shit
all of you that are saying eminem watered down recovery to protect his empire are fuckin stupid. when has em ever been afraid of controversy? if anything, it helps him sell records. i liked relapse but he’s right, the accents and all the serial killer shit was gettin played out. recovery was just meant to be more positive but in the first song he makes fun of Michael J. Fox and threatens to “kick a bitch in the cunt til it sounds like a fuckin’ whoopy cushion”. that’s not too watered down.
WEAK ASS ARGUMENT- YOU ALL MAKE NO SENSE- RECOVERY IS A WATERED DOWN POP RECORD AND IT WASN’T JUST TO MAKE MORE SALES, BUT ALSO TO CHANGE HIS IMAGE BECAUSE HE WANTS TO BE MORE CURRENT.
CHECK IT- YOU DONT NEED POP SYNTH BEATS, R&B SINGERS, CORNY HOOKS AND ULTRA MAINSTREAM GUESTS TO DO A POSITIVE ALBUM OR CELEBRATE YOUR MENTAL BREAKTHROOUGH. IF HE REALLY HAD ONE.
YOUR NAIVE.
Hip hop fans are the most ignorant and stupid mother fuckers ever.
Just cuz Em spent the extra bucks to get notable artists on his hooks yall brand him a “sell out.” Eat a dick yo. Recovery is lyrically amazing and if you think Em has lost his edge listen to “Cold Wind Blows” on the Recovery album. Eminem generally makes themed albums and this is his “HALLELUJAAAHH” album because thats how he felt at the time.
Real recognize real.
I love recovery, but you are wrong my friend, there is a plethera of rnb and hiphop artists that are ten times as talented as the clowns that he had appear on the album. The only problem is see on recovery is the guest appearances, none of them add to the lyrical masterpiece that it is, they only take away from it. He definately did take the easy way out by working with these idiots
ROSA ACOSTA & D.STEPHENS video at http://www.wapproved.com
Hard to call this one. I love recovery and relapse for different reasons. I think relapse cators to his original fanbase, and i think it was important to bring something back to them, but recovery definately hit me harder with the adult issues and topics that it brought to the table. I’m definately glad that both albums exist
wow Em matured right before our ears, i hope other rappers pay attention to this interview you can’t talk about the same dumb shit over and over its nice to see some personal growth. i wont expected any imature person to understand what I’m talking about.
Glenn Tucker I agree with you! Great comment, but yes some will not understand it!
You’re new albums still garbage you bum. Just retire with your money and stop making shitty beats.
i agree with you on that. his new music sucks,
Relapse is a better album than recovery is….
“i think is smell the scent of a placenta”
you don`t just make this shit up, i dislike more songs on the recovery album then on the relapse album
i oit used to the accent pretty soon and the lyrics were sick slim shady style.
but what do i know, i`m dutch… speaking of holland it`s time for a little visit marshall!
peace
I AGREE 100%. I like Slim Shady more than Eminem. Relapse could have been called the Slim Shady LP 2. It was fire! I don’t give a shit if the masses didn’t take to it, and the label didn’t hear a single. The wordplay was so sick, and Dre was on point. Em, there is no need to hate on it. It was a good come back. This new LP is the POP culmination of your career. Don’t stop making Slim Shady tracks because there are die-hards such as myself that always want to remember the summer of ’99. “I’ll puke, eat it, and freak you / battle til I’m too weeded to speak to. The only key that I need to defeat you is to remove these two adidas and beat you…”
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaddddddddddddddddddddd
im glad to see im not the only one who thought the relapse was fire… buffalo bill, music box, stay wide awake… probably some of the most lyrically ill shit ive ever heard…. and will never hear again, DAMN YOU SHADY!
fuck all of u who think are saying shit about em and dissing recovery wtf?
dont get me wrong, everyone is allowed to voice their opinion, but unfortunately your opinions fucking suck. Relapse was great and Recovery was amazing.
Ya right great albums if you have the brain of a 16 year old…his voice is annoying as hell and he’s not even that clever, his lyrics are shit compared to most good underground artists and even a lot of mainstream ones…how long is that stupid shit he makes gonna fly.
u
i like that cd. a couple tracks sucks but overall, a good album.
DIGG DIS
Even on drugs he still has more complex rhymes and can switch his flow up more times on one track than 99% of the rappers out there.
Honestly, I don’t listen to mainstream shit. I’m an underground head. But there aren’t many other MCs who paid their dues and studied and mastered the art more than Em.
All the hating on him is ridiculous, whether you like him or not, his talent and his longevity in the game makes him a legend hands down.
i think his live shit sucks.. its just awful. i love it better on radio, downloaded, and the c.d. but i’m never going to see him live again if he keeps making music like this.
id like to know why hes saying his last 2 albums sucked because of drugs if he was doing drugs since slim shady ep. and whats with doing songs with rihanna and pink. that shit sucks
Why did people hate Relapse? Read this article.
