word, clear evidence they just skim through it or ignore lyrics in general

And, y'all clearly don't listen to other albums, especially Relapse if you think they don't have content and diversity of content.
This is easily the most overrated hip-hop album I've heard in a minute. It's full of bad cilche pop choruses and 90's pop influenced beats. This isn't music from the soul. It's music constructed to win back a dwindling fan base.

This.Im actually shocked at the volume of people being duped by this album.Encore and relapse werent well liked so hes publicly trashing them just to gain back his fan base.Even though in reality this album is on par with those two albums.The hooks on this album are flat out bad.All hes done is replaced the accent with singing.Its clear as day what happened with this album.They got a lot of positives back from beautiful and his forever verse so he mad an album full of the exact same shit.Problem is its so generic and forced and I cant see how anyone cant see through it.

Props. What I was saying weeks ago while everyone was drooling over Not Afraid. Everyone was like omg Not Afraid is the new Eminem! He's back! And I was laughing saying nah its Beautiful part 2.
--- End quote ---
What u talking about? Beautiful was a great track. That and Not Afraid. How were we supposed to know he wasn't gonna come with an album full of that?
--- End quote ---
Beautiful was a nice song, though not one of his best. Not Afraid was a bad attempt to recreate that song because it was the only song that made noise off his last album. The problem with this album is the opposite of what you're saying, cause he DID try to make an entire album like that with singing and forced attempts to be inspirational. Are we listening to the same shit? Its plainly obvious that Em has run out of steam and and now he can't use shocking lyrics to sell an album anymore. Every rapper falls off eventually. Deal with it and move on. There's a lot better shit to be listening to. I'm out.

You are a complete idiot, do your research before you post... Clearly what you think is "inspirational" are the lamest songs I've heard from Eminem.
--- Quote from: The-Leak (aka) kingwell (bka) JULES on June 09, 2010, 02:47:35 PM ---Eminem SHOULD have high expectations, The music he makes that I like from him is very hard to make, and can be hit or miss.. And I don't see why this album is solid. Because of the big budget names and features? To me that doesn't give you a pass for a solid album. Even on the grandest stage, you have to earn your praise. The beats on here are good enough to work with. It's Eminem I am rating here: the songs lack focus.
The same problem with Encore and Relapse. There was nothing you could take away from alot of the songs. Eminem is good because he is good at writing about his life in a way that you can relate to it. He doesn't do this too often on Recovery, it's a 1-sided affair for alot of the songs..
Let's use Cinderella Man as an example. "Music is my time machine" that's relatable, I'm feeling it.. Than "Cinderella Man, Cinderella Man", that automatically brings the POV right to Eminem. It's a song about himself, not about music. Very isolating to listen to, as a listener.
There is a fine line in this phrase: "Music is about your life, not you." Eminem didn't meet that, and even with the tools he has, falls into an average rapper on this CD.

That is some non-bias for ya. (I didn't keep any songs off Relapse mind you). Alot of the songs lack focus, and that's pretty much all I can say about them.
--- Quote from: The-Leak (aka) kingwell (bka) JULES on June 08, 2010, 08:02:56 PM ---I challenge someone to give me a concept for each of the songs on the Recovery. Talking about lyrics too, so don't give me no "Em just having fun spittin deadly rhymes on a club banger". I want you to listen to the lyrics, and give me the message Em is trying to portray with each song..

Action!:
I wouldn't even care if the album was about winning back hip-hop but it's not. It's about winning fame and being number 1.
