Sccit, you said hip-hop heads didn't like Recovery. Here's one.

the singing isn't terrible, he can pull it off & if the second half is equally as strong, this could be his best album since The Eminem Show.
like Shallow said, i haven't heard a song yet that is a "sure-fire classic" or something that he'll be remembered for, but overall the CD has been real good so far. 8)

woah, this cat even puts is up there with the Eminem Show :o. I'll leave the full review:
--- Quote from: TDOT on June 07, 2010, 08:25:10 PM ---As most of you, i was pretty surprised about a quarter through. It sounded like it was gonnaa be some ill shit, but i don't know, after listening to the whole thing, it seems like most of the songs were sounding the same (and not in a "concept" type way). It was only one listen though, and nothing was bad. Still, on the other hand, nothing was real good. At least when Relapse came out, the beats were fuckin nuts. Recovery has to have the worst beats yet for an Eminem album by far, but I don't think a lot of the critics really care about production, which is fuckin sad. Here's what I recall, much should change after some more listens:
-The one with kobe was easily the best, and that's one of the few I can see still liking 10 years from now. As you guys were saying, nothing on here is comparable to those classic Em tracks, but then again, nothing on Relapse was either.
-Going Thru Changes was cool, Almost Famous was cool, the bonus track was cool, On Fire was cool.
-The Just Bllaze tracks were nice, but in terms of the production, nothing special from him.
-I didn't mind the Wayne track...but like anyone with a brain, I couldn't help but wonder why the fuck LIL WAYNE was the only rapper featured on the allbum?! For godsakes, your fucking EMINEM! You can have anyone in the fuckin world on a track with you, and LIL WAYNE? At least get someone from Aftermath or Shady, damn.
-W.T.P. had to have been easily the worst track on the album, I mean, this just sucked bigtime. Beat/lyrics/everything.
-Space Bound was cool, I wasn't feeling Cindarella Man much. Don't see why some of you are in love with these two, but not some of the others.
-The Khalil beats were decent for his standards. But like Just Blaze, a little upsetting.
-I agree with the singing part. It's like Eminem is trying to fit in with the Drakes & Waynes of the industry at the moment, but I don't think he realizes that he IS the biggest figure at the moment. But his singing isn't that bad though, so I don't mind it much.
Overall, I guess it's up there with The Eminem Show, but that albums good tracks SMASH this albums best tracks. On the other hand, that album had some real shitty tracks, while I didn't think anything was real bad on this besides W.T.P., which still wasn't THAT bad.
Oh, and it's pretty obvious the Dre track is So Bad. Which is actually in the top 3 for me on this one (most likely due to the production). But still...only one fuckin Dre beat on an Aftermath album!?!?...and an Eminemm album!?!?...I wonder how much Dre really had to do with this album, just like BISD, and just like the supposed RED Album. What the fuck is going on at Aftermath? Nobody making songs together anymore, Dre not fucking with his own guys no more, shits not looking good...but then again, Dre could easily be letting these guys take care of themselves under his label. Or maybe he had more the do than I think, but I doubt it. Still...it's just not what it used to be where Dre would take control of the album (exec.) and just completely turn the thing into a masterpiece (most of the time).

--- Quote from: Shallow on June 07, 2010, 08:33:38 PM ---Enough with this Dre production crap. Dre's production on the great Em albums was never all that great. Em's best album was MMLP, but take The Way I Am and Stan (two songs NOT produced by Dre) off that album and it's worse than Recovery.
Tell me honestly that the tracklisting above makes for that much better an album than the new one.

Damn, Shallow has it up there with MMLP ::)
--- Quote from: dubsmith_nz on June 07, 2010, 08:48:12 PM ---"The last two albums don't count, Encore I was on drugs Relapse I was flushing em out"
So now he's dismissing both his last albums? lol. Two tracks in so far, impressed, a lot of singing but it aint that bad. Lyrically he's on point, but I can see that same delivery getting tired, see how the rest of the album goes. The first beat was dope in my opinion, 2nd is definitely a different look for Em, Kobe's hook is cool, shit's dope for real. This third beat sounding sick, got those live sounding Dre drums, the fuck is that hook though :-\ "I just spit a bullshit hook in between two long ass verses if you mistook this for a song look"

Btw, On "Cinderella Man" I forgot Eminem raps, "fucc the last album (Relapse) the shits in my trash...(I'll be damned if I let a rapper outdo me again)
Duck Duck Doggy:
Anybody who compares Recovery to The Eminem Show needs their heads checked. It's like albums from 2 completely different artists.
