Official Eminem "Relapse" Discussion Thread

[Dre-Day]

Not feeling Em's subject matter at all regardless of the "concept."  However, his flow is crazy and you can definitely tell he's been hittin the treadmill with that type of breath control.

The beats are pretty good for the most part.  Still don't completely understand the Dre dickriding though.  There are better producers out there who don't take years to release product.

like who?

[Action!]

A lot but he's clearly aware of that and doesn't really care that we have.    Same with the accent.  I'm not a fan of the subject matter and that's fine.  It doesn't mean it's bad, just means I don't like his subject matter.   That goes for the accent as well.  It's not bad, most of you don't like it.

This is how I've always been with Em.  I respect him for his talent but I don't really listen to dude aside from a handful of tracks and lately they all come from Encore which most people hate.

theres no way it could be worse than encore, that shit had like 4 listenable tracks

btw em is a lyrical genius on this new cd...

Got the baseball and a slingshot,
they he aimed at his own face let the thing pop,
took his eye out picked it up and played ping pong,
then he played ping pong with his own ding dong,
that mutherfuckers got nuts like King Kong,

thats hard to believe.

the instrumentals alone should make it better than Encore.

pretty pumped to bump.

[Matty]

definitely some nice beats on here but a few good beats do not make a good album. i'll give it 3/10 for the few times where eminem doesn't completely ruin the production.

i can't speak on most of them, but DJ Khalil? lol.
his sound is sometimes experimental, but that doesn't necessarily make the final product better.
i find it funny that you mention him though, cause he imitates Dre from time to time 

to me there's no one as consistent as Dre: he's been dropping quality for several years now

[Shad3y]

PM me someone with any link plix?

[Lunatic]

and its not cause eminems a bad rapper... its because hes offensively bad. you could have some dumb fucker like shawty lo or something and atleast he'd be bad, but he wouldn't piss you off with the ridiculousness of his shit.
