really good interview, bass brothers probably haven't got near enough credit for their work as the years have rolled by. Sounds like eminem was in a really really bad place during that encore period, made me want to go back through his back catalogue and listen to it through different ears. I wonder how they fell out so quickly and how they were unable to reconcile.
Infinite, Slim Shady & Marshall Mather's LP (Pt.1).Thats it.
Damn great interview. Wheels really did fall of for em on Encore. The fall off between Eminem show and half that album was shocking. Wasted some primo Dre beats and seems like Dre didn’t have any interest in quality control as far as em’s choruses and song structure, a strength of Bass.
what da hell are you talking about? They did whole "The Eminem Show" together. Dre just gave 3 fillers to that album. Also D12's Devil's Night entirely produced by Jeff Bass and Eminem.
Dre had the best beats on there. Also you're forgetting about Kon Artis.
Reasons why Encore failed;1- Encore was the first album that Jeff Bass wasn't involved.2- Eminem was battling with drug addiction.3- Dre was working on detox and gave some of his cast off beats to Eminem, also fucked up on executive producing the project.4- Two great songs (We as americans and Love you more) were leaked and Eminem had to replace them with new songs hastily. Those songs were "Rain man" and "Big Winnie". After Encore's fail as i know they started to work together again, and in this period they did songs like:"gatman and robin" (50 cent)"drama setter" (tony yayo)"trapped" (proof)"lord have mercy" (lil scrappy)"peep show" (50 cent)"touch down" (ti)"lose my mind" (young buck)"lac motion" (cashiss)"crazy" (trick trick)However Em is still working a lot and very succesful, i never heard Jeff Bass doing smth lately. Last thing i know he worked with "Jem" and produced 4 songs for her which i am a fan of. You can listen to one of it below.
