Feb 23, 2022 Eminem from 1999-2004 mastered this (with the obvious exceptions on Encore). Since his return in 2009 he's failed the majority of the time. He has never struck the right balance. Whenever he improves something he loses something else and so forth. Relapse = amazing production, sonically great but iffy content that completely isolated most listeners Recovery = great content, mature and introspective. Sonically pretty mediocre though apart from a few songs MMLP2 = didn't like the content or how it sounded for the majority. Cash grab, bland introspective songs (missed opportunities), dated, s-----y production, weird voice. Rhyming and writing was pretty good though Revival = god awful production, awful delivery, awful flows, s-----y voice, crap forced "woke" content, substandard writing. One of the worst hip hop albums I've ever listened to. Last few tracks save it from being the worst Kamikaze = good balance between sonically pleasing for the most part and impressive rhyming. A massive step in the right direction Side A = His best sounding album in 10 years. Some excellent writing mixed with some cringe writing. Too much emphasis on word play and bars Side B = Like Side A, production, voice and flows are excellent and sound great for modern day Em. But writing has gotten sloppier and his obsession with bars, dad jokes and puns have hit an all time high. More misses than hits on this front From Kamikaze to Side B his music has improved drastically in terms of how it sounds. However his content (me vs everyone else, me being the GOAT, f--- the haters, look how rich I am etc) has grown tiresome. If he continues the great production, flows and voice he has on the last 3 albums but cuts out his obsession with puns and delivers a more introspective album it will be a classic.
Feb 23, 2022 I hope so. I wouldn’t hold my breath on it though because he’s in a state in which he’s just having fun with rapping at this point in his career. Although it gives me hope that maybe he littered Side B with puns because he treated that as more of just a side project to give more content to fans. Maybe this next one he is dropping is more serious.
Feb 23, 2022 If this was the track list for Revival & you take the first half of Untouchable out then this is a easy 8 And regardless how you feel about Like Home, Em has always been in politics so take it or leave it
Feb 23, 2022 I just didn’t like the hook that much but other than that it wasn’t that bad, it was just him bashing Trump so take it for what it is. And I had to leave it with the rest cause of the content of the album.
Feb 23, 2022 Em’s had some phenomenal hooks over his career, I don’t think he realises how much better they are than the Skylar Grey cookie cutter generic stuff.
Feb 23, 2022 I still think that ken kaniff r----- still knows jack s---, regardless I see that tweet as a slaughterhouse single reunion hint with the emoji of the two people hugging. No way Em dropping Friday cos of Conway lol. He’s had so many perfect chances to drop already this year why would he now, now there’s an actual reason not to.
Feb 23, 2022 Nobody would expect him to drop & Conway officially a free agent now Eminem would just look like a d-ck head if he did drop, that’s the only reason he shouldn’t. Especially since people talk s--- about his label as it is.
Feb 23, 2022 Speaking of great hooks, this is one of the best ones he’s ever done imo. The writing, the sound, and the layering, great stuff.
