Cover is a play on this book:

You like his last album and it had some hits but he made nothing good in the last 5+ years

No lie

It was more like 10 years

Maybe the single?

I feel like I’m having a stroke tbh

What’s the play?

This but if it was terrible? Lmao

even from that 3 second snippet it sounds nothing like Alchemist would do lmao

right? if that was the inspiration it should have been made in more vintage and tasteful way

You’d be surprised

Em has this magical way of bringing out the worst beat you’ve ever heard from a good producer

I feel like there’s no way Alc actually f***s with Eminem’s music

I’m just so curious what a convo about music between them would even sound like

Eminem’s whole identity is “I’m Mr real hip hop” but makes the most watered down tasteless pop rap ever. I feel like Alc hates that s***

I think Kamikaze was great!

However I need to give Music to be Murdered by another spin. Apparently it’s not bad I only listened once when it was released.

Revival has to be the worst album for me. However it has one of the best Eminem songs from recent times on there.

Castle >>>

Classic Eminem Style

Still got ptsd from you're never over and like home

But nah, this ain't Alc, this sounds like prod by Dre and his new team most likely

Tonight

need that leak asap

Yeah people were saying Without Me yesterday but I def heard My Band lol

This is what we have to thank for all this s***

1 - relapse gets panned, too many accents, ott horrorcore, rapping sub par. Dre beats seem like a waste despite being some of his best ever

2 - recovery - em ditches the horrorcore, the dre beats, the accents, and enlists newer producers for an album which is arguably the polar opposite of relapse. Far better received, includes tracks with pop singers which all seem to chart well

3 - mmlp2... em basically reuses the recovery model but changes the personal themes slightly to focus on relationships more, getting old, and being better than everyone at using a dictionary. Songs with pop singers hit the charts again, album is generally well received by fans

4 - revival.... em tries the same formula as the previous two albums, enlisting pop singers for hit potential, doubling down on stadium esque production, and shifts the themes again to focus on politics, whilst also continuing to talk about the same themes of getting old, his past d*** addictions, and how good he is at rapping. Also features two songs about being trashy and pulling women in shady bars for no other reason besides Dr dre asking him "where's the fun"

5 - kamikaze - revival is totally panned because it unknowingly ran with all the worst features of the previous two albums, realising that despite chart success, people actually don't want to listen to pop hits or pink, eminem then decides to rush together an album that almost completely turns it on its head and features zero pop singers, zero stadium rock beats, and ditches almost all mentions of getting old, politics, or evenings at the bar with white trash women. Essentially zero fun, rushed, shorter, smaller scale

6 - mtbmb - eminem is lost at this point, both previous albums suck according to almost everyone, and a follow up is needed quickly otherwise his legacy will be tainted. He looks to the previous albums for a formula to stick to. Realises people don't want the pop hits anymore, are sick of the recovery model, and realises that people are starting to come around to relapse. Decides to enlist the relapse model, ditches the accents, bloats out the tracklist, and almost manages to make a good album.

7 - present day... eminem has been drip feeding us with songs from his past and present which are previously unheard, most of which are produced by dre, interestingly so. The best reviewed tracks on mtbmb were all touched by the dre hands. He's hopefully realised by now that rushing an album is a mistake, accents are a mistake, horrendous pop features are a mistake, over the top horrorcore is a mistake, and that stadium rock beats are also a mistake. Consequently I hope he has realised that dre production is actually what we want and that relapses issues are all his fault, that shorter albums are more listenable, and hopefully that we are all tired of hearing the same old s***

The only worry I have is this god damned cover art reading like it's a fortnight dlc pack

Is this out in New Zealand?

Still goat lmao

Nothing yet?

I'm waiting too

Single of the DECADE TONIGHT..

Trump support coming through #2024makeamericaytagain

Good Guy from Kamikaze still slaps to this day. Always in for new music from our GOATs

Of all the "better than expected" songs from that album you choose that one? eminem should never attempt relationship songs they feel so forced and inauthentic

Was by far my favorite song of his in recent memory and I love a handful of relationship songs from him. Where I'm At, Superman, Space Bound etc... are dope. Seduction another one of my favorites but iono if that qualifies as a relationship track. Hook is fantastic, still one of the best of the last 10 years or so, and Em kills it with the laid back flow imo

"guess you take life the same way you play dice, then
cause you just look at me and roll those little snake eyes in"
