Jan 5, 2024 Both might be wrong, It's not like he's been on a downward spiral since revival, but it's not like he's improving either, more like "trying out new s---" I'd say, features and albums have been hit or miss and a mixed bag the last decade
Jan 5, 2024 Having a few good songs doesn’t make an album good though, or use it to compare it to what other artists albums sound like, so therefore Revival is not bad because all the new rappers are s---. Just comes across as tribalism. Should only compare the music and album to the standard of the artist and for Eminem, Revival is s---.
Jan 5, 2024 Some of you really make me wanna start being mean again. Might put some dirt in your eye.
Jan 5, 2024 i mean… again, i think the album could absolutely be trimmed a bit. but i love the songs i listed and still play them. but i’m glad em is the one artist who shouldn’t be compared to others just because of what he’s capable of offended is lyrically exceptional, but i can tell why some people wouldn’t like his attitude or style on there. about untouchable, again incredible rhymes, but can i ask whether it’s the topic or the sonics you don’t like? both are pretty unorthodox to him, but i kinda liked that he tried doing a more “experimental” song and made some good points politically even if the “perspective” he’s rapping from is a little… different? lol
Jan 5, 2024 Like I said before, the best thing they could do is re-release it as an EP featuring the few good songs for the 10th anniversary so they can get a bit of love.
Jan 5, 2024 Easily his most underrated song of his career that doesn't get talked about as one of his best songs. The song has everything that makes him stand out from anyone before or after him: comedian levels of humor, wordplay, intricate rhymes, and just a cool a--- song. I think if anyone was unsure of him when they heard SSLP, then this song would surely have made people go, "Okay, this is next level. Class."
Jan 5, 2024 when he mentions kim in the 3rd verse it becomes whatEVER. like kim made a quick appearance on the track. little s--- like that, classic s--- also it's censored in that the first verse was originally a white person but had to change it to white journalist for reasons
Jan 5, 2024 Listening to Revival at work today, and Belive would go so much harder if the beat wasn’t so bad.
Jan 5, 2024 the fact that eminem brought rick rubin in to bring sonic cohesion to mmlp2 and revival and accomplished the exact opposite makes me wish he would trust his own intuition more instead of trying to rely on what made the beastie boys popular or more recently what makes trap popular
Jan 5, 2024 Believe would have been good if the second verse wasn’t filler/the bridge didn’t exist and he just kept the “do you still believe…in me” as the hook.
