    the 6th year anniversary of Relapse got me thinking about how incredible the relapse period was

    i think eminem in this video is the absolute best eminem..
    i said it before in other threads, he is at his natural comfort level spitting exactly what he wants to spit during this time period and he means every word.. the real slim shady, not the post recovery bs

    i don't think anything will ever match this freestyle session .. eminem at rap god level before he became rap god

    the second beat freestyle, microphone fiend, is my favorite eminem song of all time



    i really think that video is A1 as f---..

    even the interview is entertaining .. you can tell he is a different person.. his normal self






    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    now for my question, if relapse had used this voice.. this non-accent voice

    would people enjoy it more and consider relapse a gift from the heavens, the way i do?

    the biggest complaint i hear about is that the accents make it unlistenable
    now i completely disagree because i see the brilliance of it..
    how he is able to bend words into an insane flow.. its ahead of its time tbh .. its what makes relapse, relapse

    but a lot of people don't like it..
    i know some complaints are the accent AND the subject matter/content but that second complaint is pure :trash:
    because he's being himself.. he's being the closest thing to slim shady that you can get after a hiatus of his level

    its just a weird complaint.. especially considering the music we get now.. however I'm trailing off


    relapse haters, would you like relapse if he used the delivery/voice he used during this freestyle?

    When the 2009 westwood freestyles came out I really listened to it a LOT. The 2010 was okay but 2009 was so much better, not sure what it is but it is definitely one of the more enjoyable songs to listen to from that time.

    I thought everybody agreed Relapse/Recovery (moreso Relapse tbh) was the best Eminem has been since 2003

    He actually looks healthy, unlike the alien we saw in the not afraid documentary
