But its a good one, just bump it and relax.that's what i'm saying; but it just goes to show you how high people's expectations of Eminem are.clearly so high that a CD that they would of called "solid" at least for anybody else, is "absolute garbage" for Eminem.
Some of you dudes are just trippin, this is not the best album in the world for sure. But its a good one, just bump it and relax.

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.

I believe it is starting to change now, with the West Coast rappers becoming more conscience, that's a good look. But yes, that is why I don't listen to that genre as much as I used to (I like to think I grew up alot.) That is one of the reasons I always argue East Coast/Midwest are better lyricists than any other region..

That is one of the reasons I always argue East Coast/Midwest are better lyricists than any other region..i don't wanna generalize bcuz that would be wrong but the East and MidWest are bcuz that's their style. WestCoast stay failing at that, they only have a handful of rappers who actually try 2 integrate the MC part of rapping with their style like Crooked I or Bishop Lamont. When Ice Cube said "this ain't Virginia this the Westcoast" or some shit like that i was like "ok son, i feel u, but u know ur dead wrong 4 actin' like all that shit don't matter when it comes to WestCoast rap". When MOST of the producted on the westcoast sounded like Dr. Dre wannabes with the boom-bap and the same ass piano melody and chord i was lookin' like how tha fuck can y'all rank on the south when ALL of y'all shit sound the same, and the shit was boring as hell. i loved "that's on the set" by Glasses Malone but the only thing that fucked it up was it was on that CripSet shit, yeah it's a track full of Crips but if they made that shit more universal then that shit woulda been Certified IME.
The west gets pidgeon-holed to the point where anyone not spitting that gangsta shit is overlooked.
