Whack music is whack music. Again, an artist shouldn't get a pass just because of past accolades. You have to earn the praise of your music, each and every time.

I will not argue that Recovery's content is more digestible or relateable but to say Relapse had no content is wrong.
3 A.M: return of Shady, Eminem's alter ego that promotes self-destructive habits
My Mom: review of his mother but instead of completely blaming her he attempts to relate to her issues because he sees how he is like her
Insane: a story of being raped by his father (I don't know how true any of this is. I know he said it's not real but one must wonder. Maybe it's a metaphor for the lack of a father figure in his life.)
Bagpipes From Baghdad: Mariah Carey & Nick Cannon diss
Hello: discussion of his drug addiction and the creation of shady
Same Song and Dance: a story about killing pop stars (a review of his disses against pop icons)
Medicine Ball: controversial lyrics for attention
Stay Wide Awake: the craziness of his mind
I can go on but each record has a concept and is about something, even if you can't relate to it. The major difference I see in content is that on Recovery it's more a tell all situation where he doesn't use metaphors and assumes the consumer is too stupid to follow along. Hence, instead of letting you assume he's talking about hip-hop on 25 to Life he tells you he's talking about hip-hop.

I know you feel that way so it's cool. I'm not really looking for a prolonged discussion but I do disagree.
Let me just get this out of the way, I don't listen to music like you do. I rarely every just hear "bad music" and then "good music." In all, or most music, I can see positive qualities and then negative qualities. There's a lot of music released and will continue to be released. Just because an artist releases a poor album (for them) it doesn't mean it's wack on the scale of music. I don't think it justifies them getting a pass and slacking but it doesn't mean that the poorer material they have is so bad it's wack. That's all I feel like typing about this. Hope you grasp what I'm conveying and how I listen to music.

i agree
recovery isnt a bad album its just no where as good as relapse. i got about 5 songs to skip on recovery compared to just 1 on replapse and thats cuz its the single and i get sick of the single. and relapse is great album that flows from song 2 song the whole album. recovery is ehhhhh ok but the bad songs ruin the flow of the album- in fact im going to make my own version of the album removing the songs i cant stand. (the pink song, the rihanna song, the wayne song, the sudcution song... and couple more... )
and to whoever said recovery isnt more commercial. umm are listening to th same album,. its his more commercially safe album to date./
