    Ya that’s just blasphemy.

    Even the few songs I like on Revival now pale in comparison to almost every song on DOSS.

    Like I legit don’t think even Believe tops any of them. He’s flowing like a MFer on DOSS and it SOUNDS good

    What's more baffling to me is that Revival even got a 50 in the first place

    Even Wolves. But not books. Not words. Words don't die.

    Castle and Arose would make this album a 10/10 if they were on here but I'm with you, as much as I like Believe, a lot of these songs wipe the floor

    Revival is a double edged sword

    we wouldn’t have gotten this output without the hate it received, but people still s--- on everything he does now as a direct result of Revival

    had this album dropped instead of Revival, or even MMLP2, I think it would be received a lot better. But we’ll never know.

    I still think the Road Rage beat and hook was taken from Dre and whatever project he's working on himself.

    Yeah those two are the only ones I debate

    but I actually love temporary. Ya ya it’s another Hailie song. But I think it was beautiful and necessary at this stage in his career, and I think it works as a double. It’s obviously for Hailie. But for people who grew up listening to Eminem, it can hit hard.

    we grew with him, with Hailie, time just keeps going. It’s sad, it’s meaningful. It’s a great song for me.

    At this point I think he should stop being so sensitive and just drop whatever he wants either for hardcore fans or whatever but he'll never win those people back imo, their minds are already made up, they're not waiting for his comeback, they hope he never makes one, especially younger people, all I saw on comments and s--- was s--- like "Bros just yapping", "Kanye better" on not even the worst songs of this project, that s--- was said on "Fuel" and "Guilty Conscience 2" so if s--- like that doesn't win them over nothing short of MMLP or TES will and he's not gonna drop those at this point

    Thoughts on this theory?
    In "Renaissance Eminem" from 2002, Eminem revisits the period when his drug addiction began, with the flow reflecting this era. Then, in "Guilty Conscience 2," his good and bad sides confront each other. After an attempted murder-suicide, he wakes up to the song "When I'm Gone" playing in the background. This song, released at the end of 2005, marks his farewell to Slim Shady but also coincides with his first admission into rehab (this is also referenced in a promo video with the hospital where he went to rehab).

    But this time the bad side wins, symbolized by Shady's laughter at the end of "Guilty Conscience 2,". This time Eminem does not achieve sobriety. This ties into the Houdini promo where he says, "For my last trick, I'm gonna make my career disappear," indicating the career in which he was clean. Everything following "Guilty Conscience 2" leads to the final song, where Eminem ultimately dies from the overdose in 2007. This outcome is symbolically depicted in the Tobey music video, where Shady (representing the drugs) kills him.

    I'll take Temporary over Save Me from Myself 10/10 times

    That Jelly Roll sample really saves what is, though not bad, an unnecessary song

    The amount of attention Em + the album would get if he made an appearance on Hailey's podcast would be unreal. Makes sense from a marketing point of view but not sure if he'd want to do it

    It’s probably already annoying that a bunch of Stan’s bombard her stuff as it is

    What worries me the most is that Em said it straight "Let's travel inside the mind of a hater" man's wasn't even doing a double or some lyrical miracle s--- for it to be missed easily

    I'm already picturing Rabbi Paul giving Hailie a list of questions that she's allowed and not allowed to ask her own father.

    Encore literally got a higher metascore that just tells me it was “cooler” back then to be an eminem fan and now its “cooler” to be one of those outlets that s--- on him and say how corny his content is lmaoooo

    It just blows my mind how some of these “critics” don’t realize that most of eminem fans already know that

    I agree but I also think there's another layer to that, now all that matters is clicks and views and s--- and overly praising or mindlessly hating Em will get you a ton of attention and that's all that matters nowadays, just write an article or make a video saying Em is s--- making it not too obvious that it's bait and people are gonna flood your comments which is all that they care about anyway
