--- Quote from: Matty on May 07, 2009, 03:23:26 PM ---quite a few beats i'm digging but none of it is really anything spectacular considering tracks like outta control rmx, imagine etc that dre did several years ago. and eminem is completely out of place for the most part.
HELLO - hard hitting, mellow, funky beat. would be IDEAL for a nate dogg solo. could be worse but em completely ruins it with the hook.
MEDICINE BALL - probably the best 'banger' on here. 50 could do with more tracks like this for his own album. eminem actually rips into this one, not too many complaints apart from the goofy shit but better suited to a rapper like 50.
MUST BE THE GANJA - crazy banging beat, eminem out of place with a silly hook in a song about weed. this is more of a snoop beat.
UNDERGROUND - biiiiig sounding beat, would be better with the crisper drums and again awful, awful hook....
SAME SONG & DANCE - agree with what luna said, this is terrible. so much for this being one of the better tracks.
MY MOM - again terrible hook and the lyrical content doesn't really fit the beat. needs a female singer on here.

Only one he really liked was "Medicine Ball" and even that track he complains was "goofy shit". I had to go back and listen to the song, the hook and beat are FIRE but the lyrical content in the verses is empty

Only 5/5 is for "Beautiful" which sounds and feels totally different from the rest of the album and is an outlier.
--- Quote from: Jay_J on May 07, 2009, 04:01:38 PM ---his accents reminds me marshall mathers lp and thats what i was waiting for... i'm downloading it right now and i hope beats are ok... because old Em is back!!!
what tha fuck are you people talking bout his accent... u want a new encore??? fuck you.... slim shady is back!!!
however who says that "old times sake" is a good song... fuck em all too... thats wack.... underground is what u can call "good, great, or whatever else"...

Jay was hyped initially, obviously willing to give it a chance and a fair shake
--- Quote from: TraceOneInfinite on May 07, 2009, 04:13:16 PM ---Big dissapointment.
This reminds me of Aug. 4th 1998 when I waited in line outside blockbuster music for the midnight release of Snoop's "Game Is To Be Sold" album... had been waiting for that album to drop for so long, and....

Thought you said I wasn't in the thread Sccit? What's that shit you said, "pay attention" or "look closer", lol.

Subject matter is always the big thing with Eminem for me (Replay value, Prob not gonna bump this past a week)
basically the same stuff, BUt if you like his shit.. You will like this album.
The Christopher Reeves shit (On Medicine Ball) ... is weak, just like it was on Encore.
Overall. Beats lift it to a 6/10

The keystylin homie Hatesrats agrees with me, dude is shittin on the lyrical content. Played out "Christopher Reeves" material. Says he won't bump after one week (no replay value)
--- Quote from: --Vance-- on May 07, 2009, 04:19:44 PM ---It's hard to listen to some tracks with this strange ass accent, though Dre impressed me with the beats for the most part.
--- End quote ---
^^this cat saying in spite of the Dre production shit is hard to listen to.
...I'm 8 pages in and its not looking too good for you Relapse Cultists

bro you're acting legit slow
them kids must be doin a number on you out there
do you not remember what my claim was? i said from the beginning that everyone disliked the accents but cited THE BEATS as the strong point after jay claimed the production was the issue .. and you're literally proving my point with those quotes you're posting
i also said that it wasn't initially received as well as his previous work but later gained a cult following ... and that despite not being initially loved universally, it was still received far better than recovery by most em fans.
like i said
PAY ATTENTION

--- Quote from: TraceOneInfinite on May 07, 2009, 04:34:26 PM ---Yo.. I just figured out I'm going to do my own edit for this album on acid pro... because these beats are bangers, and most the hooks are great... I can save a few good rhymes, verses here and there and make something decent out of it.
--- End quote ---
^^look at how much your ass actually loved the beats lmfao
and you're in the thread wit cey cey jerkin him off with both hands when his entire claim is that dre ruined the album with his production
have some self respect n keep it a buck homie

Lol.. no, it's worse than that. They are saying stuff like they will not listen to the album after one week.
..hey man, I'm just doing research. And so far it ain't looking too good for you guys. But there are dozens of pages and I'm only on page 8, so maybe it will get better for the Relapse Cult. Then, next up, I will be bumping the Recovery Thread and I will have some solid Research on my hands, Wodie!

you're being disingenuous
most of the comments in here are positive and that actually surprised me .. you're nitpicking the negative comments in your constant everlasting quest to stump me. using "research" as an excuse not guna hide what's really real.
it's about 70/30 positive to negative comments in here.. recovery is about 30/70
still.. my point isn't about how many people liked it. it's about what people liked about it and what they didn't. if you were more concerned with facts than with outdoing me, you woulda been seen that.
