    Going through changes is perfect in terms of yelling

    Em ruined this nice beat. Everything past the first verse is unlistebable due to the screaming. But calling this screaming is not intensive enough. Someone should come up with a new verb for this kind of vocals. Horrendous.

    This is one of the few songs I feel the aggressive yelling kind of works. This and Above the Law on the BME EP. It does get to be a bit much, but I find it fits better than in most of the songs where he does it.

    you’re a p---- and the intensity of the rapping on recovery isn’t easy to duplicate . you’d sound like a moron if you did a cover of this song so the aggressive delivery shouldn’t get hated on as much as it does

    "Almost Famous" is a classic movie where Kate Hudson reveals her big ol' nip-nips.

    Where is it supposed to be? Can’t be higher then 4th IMO.. but yeah so I don’t think it’s as easy once you get to #4 anymore to create a proper list ranking his albums. It’s gonna change dramatically from person to person #4 and on...

    you got your relapse crew
    Your Side B crew
    Some people will slot Kamikaze there
    Some people gonna throw Encore there
    And I’d imagine some people would throw Recovery there as #4 as well.
    MMLP2 I could see that album having its cult following throwing it in the #4 slot

    for me? It’s hard because I feel like Encore should be #4 in the sense that the good songs on that album are classics but then the album as a whole project was such a let down at the time.

    it’s very hard to pick #4

    True. I re-listened to Recovery the other day... always an enjoyable listen, even though the album feels like a 6 in my head until I re-listen.

    And I was listening to this track, a bit drunk, like 'GOD d--- THIS IS FIREEEE'. The overall effect of the song is f---ing brilliant; this era he actually nailed the 'rough raps vs. spacey / eerie chick hooks' very well, the hook and whole song is great... but above that, it's also conceptual and storytelling. Absolutely brilliant track; I remember when Recovery came out - me and a mate were just replaying it like 'holy s---'.
