    Ofc it was Paul’s idea

    I doubt any music artist sits around thinking about putting out a greatest hits album. It’s always management or execs that conjure these projects

    Question

    Would need me, offended and remind me be better songs if Revival had a better album cover?

    No. It would still be garbage.

    Yeezus literally had no cover and its considered Ye's best album by many lol.

    Its fine to like or dislike it but who really cares. If i wanna see artwork I go to a museum. I want rappers and singers to make good music.

    Yeah I agree and ofc it can add something. But people making it a much bigger deal than it is lol.

    I want music artist to make good music, album covers are cool but have zero influence on the music imo

    Which is fine of course, but the way people sometimes already trash an album based on the cover I dont get it

    Pyrex Say His Name And He Appears

    I think in regards to WoW, the song and the subject matter was very fitting at the time when it released. All the talk on online forums about whether Em reads comments on his verses and songs etc, he acknowledged them all, even mentioning the No Favors verse, it was clear that he was aware of the criticism he was getting and his feelings towards it, it felt like it was leading to him trying to reclaim his "prime" if you like. Unfortunately the album didn't do justice for the subject matter of the song. Maybe if the album fitted towards what he talked about on the track then maybe it would have been more well received in the present day

    The people who say nothing on revival is good honestly I get that you might not be for revival but revival is not bad it’s just low tier compared to other Marshall projects. In my head, castle, arose & believe are top tier to me.

    I'm not saying MMLP2 is a bad album. The songs you mentioned above are great. Lyrically great but it just does not sound good delivery wise nor production wise. His flow sounds offbeat and vocal tonality is weird on most tracks. Definitely think Recovery, Kamikaze, and MTBMB Deluxe carry more replay value.

    What I hate the most about revival isn’t even Eminem necessarily

    the mixing is god awful. Heat and tragic endings literally sound like demos, which is insane to think about how Dre mixed heat

    remind me is the best sounding mix of the whole album and it’s f---in remind me

    Still, walk on water was a solid opening and believe & chloraseptic a fine follow up. And there are more songs that are imo overhated.

    Remind me, heat, offended, need me, river are garbage though
