WELCOME TO THE SLIM SHADY MECCA REBECCA

The fact that he kept that rhyme scheme up for so long is insane lol
And yea I just listened to BFB again, his flow on that is crazy I’m not a fan of the Mariah s*** but damn the skill is wild.

So many better songs on relapse

i used like relapse but those accents and some of thee production is just plain bad

still better anything his done since, i reckon if he kept going this way and not the way he did that he would be way more respected on ktt at least

and yeah baybay, I want another crack at cha!

fun fact: its one of tylers all time favorite albums

I always loved this song. People bring up cringy lyrics all the time but it’s like it’s totally self aware and it works with the style of the album unlike anything he did after this. I’m not cringing when I’m aware something is supposed to be silly. It’s cringy when they’re trying too hard to be clever and failing.

Relapse beats some of the best I’ve ever heard

The Christopher Reeve part of the song

I listened to the song after I posted that and forgot he did that, his flow was crazy but wtf was his beef with Chris Reeves man

Relapse is amazing, but I think the song you MEANT to say was "Must be the Ganja"

yay for mocking the dead and causing his entire family so much grief that they ended up dying too

That whole scheme where he talks about Jack the Ripper and his murder weapon is nuts

“The MODEL, the make, the plate
And which MOTEL, which lake they found her in and how they attacked the victim’

And the bits before/after that

Just so many words that each rhyme and connect together it’s like

Relapse is the only Eminem album I ever go back to tbh, the records so nasty it's ridiculous

Honestly same

Something about the older records it’s harder to go back to (altho I love some of the sslp tracks)

But relapse goes so far off that end that it kinda doubles and back and becomes enjoyable in its own right

Yeah I was gonna say I don't even go back to SSLP like that anymore, the production and lyrics on Relapse are just so perfect for Em

SSLP might have aged the best out of the older records just cuz it was insane too

Yessss. I also love the sadder tracks like rock bottom & if I had

Yoooooooooooo facts

The desperation and need-to-make-something-happen-for-yourself aspect to those early songs was some palpable s***

"I feel like I'm walking a tight rope
Without a circus net
I'm popping percocet
I'm a nervous wreck
I deserve respect
But I work a sweat for this worthless check
Bout to burst this tech, at somebody to reverse this debt
Minimum wage got my adrenaline caged
Full of venom and rage
Especially when I'm engaged
And my daughter's down to her last diaper
That's got my ass hyper
I pray that God answers, maybe I'll ask nicer"

If you don't like at least one of those albums then what do you even listen to?

No idea but I remember him dissing Reeve in MMLP album so Reeve must’ve done something to piss Em off

Relapse will always be awesome and it's aging gracefully.

Deja vu is top 3 em easily
