it's amazing that Em's getting a pass for the accent/lyrics from some people. This guy's rapping about getting raped by his dad, being a homosexual, raping women, fighting movie characters, impersonating christopher reeves... I mean fuck, I can't let this shit slide, no matter how good the beats are.

The man has been rapping about shit like that for 10+ years. You know in many cases what you are getting from Em before the beat comes on and he starts rapping.

thats what i'm saying.
i think the exact opposite of R1ZE; people are not liking it because it isn't the same Eminem they grew to love.
i swear to god if this was Asher Roth's CD, some of you would call it "great" & "he's the next big thing".
but Em's bar is so high that this is concidered "awful".
so its not that people are letting it slid because its Eminem; its people aren't liking it because it isn't the Eminem people know.

Well that is the thing about a rapper with the subject matter of Eminem. Sticky Fingaz said it best
"my name should be can't believe that nigga said that shit."
You can only capture that from the audience so much as far as subject matter. I think lyrically Em can and does drop some lyrical gems but as far as the shocking commentary and subject matter that has desensitized the ear to most. No different then watching the news everyday with all the crazy shit in the world. So in that sense people probably would want a different direction musically from Em, but in all seriousness who would buy into it even if in was sincere.
Shallow:
I'll agree that it's better than Encore, but that doesn't say much.
The whole album on the first few listens just sounds so boring. The rapping, the beats, the choruses. There is nothing inspiring about any of it for me. Beautiful starts out great but then gets buried in that repetitive flow that seems to go one forever. Songs like Deja Vu and Underground stand out to me because of the rapping, but the content hurts them big time for me.
The only really bright spot for me is that some of my favourite albums of all time where very bring to me on the first few listens. But then again so were all of my least favourite albums.
