Title: Expectations For Slim Shady's Third Album?
Post by: Murrow on October 27, 2001, 12:26:22 PM
Em said his third album will be more emotional, and dark...with less comedic songs dropping next year.  We know he's dones tracks with Dr. Dre & Mel-Man so far, and that Xzibit will be on aboard for the record too.  

What do you guys wanna see from Eminem this time around?  
You think his album will pack any OUTSIDE artists besides his regular camp of Dre, Xzibit & D-12?  That would be nice, wonder if we'll see peeps like that.  I'd like to see a collabo with like Ice Cube, or someone from the East coast. Please not Bubba Sparxxx.

Production?  Dre will still executive produce it, but will his own tracks be up there wit the number on MMLP?  Em has been flexing his muscles as a producer, "Don't Approach Me," "Renegades" & "These Drugs."  He did a lot of stuff on "Devil's Night."  So we'll see how much production Em will take on by himself.  I doubt this, but I hope Eminem doesn't grab The Neptunes or Rockwilda...stick with Dre, Mel-Man, FBT & yourself.

The D-12 album was too much like "The Marshall Mathers LP."  More shocking shit that gets played out fast.  I'm glad this next album is promised to be a different vibe.

I just hope the first single will be something more anti-teenie bopper friendly like his previous debut singles, "My Name Is," and "The Real Slim Shady."  He could shed some of those fans, bu the would loose record sales.  It's not Em's choice though.

I'm sorta fiending for more songs like Stan (which was my favorite track on mmlp, atleast until it got played out), I guess I'm gonna be satisfied with whutever he puts out. The only thing I don't wanna hear is 18+ tracks which only deals with homofobic issues, though those tracks can be funny as hell, keep it down to atleast 3-4 songs with that topic.

yeah i agree with y'all that less comedy on this joint, but he still needs to have sum like u said, to sell more copies. i liked his first album alot, even though they were a few classics on MMLP.eg, stan. whihc was deep sick shit man.lol, but original shit. i liked bitch please 2 aswell, but like hopefully he'll do a few more songs with this time with some of his aftermath family, eg, hittman and rakim. well thats what im hoping from his album....but i bet that neither of them will appear on his album. i think his Shady records artist Obie Trice will probably make a few appearances on it cuz his new and if they have D12 on the album, i hope its only proof cuz personally i think he is the best rapper outta D12.

peace

p.s. when in 2002 is it comin out?

i wanna hear more slim shady lp type shit with a renegades and stan twist...underground type lyrics too...i want him to rap maddd hungry...i want to thrive off of eminem once again like i used to...i didn't like d12 much, too much garbage on it...it sounded like a 70 minute episode of contoonish south park type shit, peace.

I'm guessing...

He will slow down with the shock rap, but use some elements of it...He will have about 3-5 tracks by Dre, and will be much more lyrical than "MMLP" or "Devils Night." Most likely he will also mature more, and since this wont be as poppy as "MMLP" it will only go 2-3 times platinum...Also about 2-4 tracks with members of D12. It'll have 1-2 tracks with Dre rapping, one track with Royce, 2 tracks with Xzibit (one of them with Nate, Dre, Hittman, and Snoop rapping together like maybe a B Please 3), one with Truth Hurts on the Hook, and one of the greatest lyrical songs ever with Rakim...



Well thats just my guess...Peace

well i wouldnt complain if thats how it happened! man that would be dope, and like i think maybe if he did do that, i think it would go more tham 3 times platinum if thats what did happen. if any other rapper on the album that would make it even better, id probably choose someone like redman, cuz they both rap sharp or a song with crooked i......that's never happen though!

Didn't he say all that in an interview? LMAO

He won't "mature", he'll just go back to SSLP/Infinite style stuff.

And you never asked for your tape of Infinite, NIK!

NO...'The Eminem LP'...what else is left?  Anyway, Eminem said when D-12 was about to drop he wouldn't drop another solo joint intill 2002.  My opinion of other Aftermath acts on Em's next album...we'd all like to see them happen to make everyone happy like Death Row and how they kept in in the fam.  But, Aftermath is more diverse, and not everything is set in stone y'all.  A track with Rakim would be dope and would fit great.  Don't know how far you could go with Truth though, only if it's for hook use only.  Hittman I don't know, don't see them getting together.  I wanna see the first single be a dark song with Dre rappin on it.  Also, I think it wouldn't hurt if Eminem had some outta town producers like Alchemist?  That would be ill, just no Neptunes.  Scott Storch would be good too.

I think Eminem is going to prove to people on this album that he's a good person, and that his message of overcoming has been previously misunderstood.

are you sure about that tha7th, where did you hear that??
Title: Re: Expectations For Slim Shady's Third Album?
Post by: ZILLA THA GOODFELLA on October 27, 2001, 07:24:18 PM
Yup I swear dats wat he said..........I read it in a magazine before Marshall Mathers LP came out............He said he had planned out his whole career, he said he's gonna concentrate on Shady Records and be more behind tha scenes like dre and stuff........He said after his third solo he is strictly gonna concentrate on tha Detroit underground scene and make his Shady Records expand........

I doubt it will actually be his last solo, hella artists say shit like dat and come back wit follow up solos (ie, Master p, Jay z)...........But Im sure his third solo will defenitly be his last 4 a looooooong time, So it's prolly gonna be fuckin straight CLASSIC outta tha gate.

Jake, Proof said that it in an interview about a year ago, it was when Em was all caught up in legal bullshit, they didn't mean it.

I remember em sayin after tha MMLP droped that his 3rd would be his last an retire from rap,  it was suptin along those lines
Title: Re: Expectations For Slim Shady's Third Album?
Post by: Don Jacob on October 27, 2001, 09:27:29 PM
i seriously doubt eminem is going to quit after his third album


puffy said he'd quit after No Way Out
Dre said He'd quit after The Chronic
Cube Said He'd quit after lethal injection
Jay-z kept hinting he'd quit after every album
master p said he'd quit after da last don


then in rock....omg it's even worse


trust me as big as eminem is and with all these cats challenging him and pissing him off and all this shit he needs to get off his chest, it wouldn't suprise me if he released 10 albums after this all in the same year

I see this album being like Tha Doggfather... it's not going to be a Doggystyle (or MMLP) but it's going to show a lot more strength in it.

I personally hate Eminem and D-12, all u fans dont take offense i just dont like him.

Lyrical_G:Lyrics are good, and some beats are nice, done by Denaun Porter/Kon Artis. If you ever see it, buy it, it's like spacedust(dirty and insubstansial? lol).

NIK: A while back, on that Infinite thread someone made(I think it mighta been me)you asked me for one of my Infinite tapes(I've copied it like 10 times). I said email me your address and shit, you never did...Oh well, I guess.

Post by: Murrow on October 28, 2001, 02:42:21 AM
"The Slim Shady LP," "The Marshall Mathers LP" & "Devil's Night" are very similar.  Eminem has to break away from the same intros, Steve Berman skits etc on his thrid album.  Dre will not make a 'B Please III'...he hates doing remixes and sequels.  I won't be surprised if Eminem co-produces with Dre for man if not all of Dre's tracks.  Maybe Dre & Eminem will be both executive produce it.

I think if Em set aside 1 or 2 songs for some guest production or artists like, Busta Rhymes and Alchemist, it would be ill.

Post by: .:N-Imy:. on October 28, 2001, 08:20:07 AM
Fo Em's 3rd album I would like to see him take a more serious approach to things I mean:

SSLP - That was just like a fun album and wasn't meant to be a serious album

MMLP - This was sorta half and half. I mean he done some deep tracks on this but also some fun tracks i.e Real Slim Shady

Devil's Night - This was sorta a more fun album than it was seriousness or deep. They have got some tight songs on it but again Purple Pills. I mean do they have to keep releasing pop beats to make the album sell.

If Em takes a serious appraoch and slams deep songs on his 3rd album then it could go classic and be his best album ever. I like Em when he leaves the pop side alone. Way I Am, Stan, Just Don't Give A Fuck, Still Don't Give A Fuck, Shit On You etc. they are all good if not great songs that Em should do more. He should quit dropping 1/2 pop shit on his albums and should just stay away form it all 2gether. If he is that damn good then his album will sell but I mean he loses respect when he got loads of Teenie boppers copping his albums. Em is great when it come to serious songs and I hope he can stick to this and throw a few decent rappers on his album. If he were to do a funny track he should do it with Bizarre cos nobdy take him serious so they know Em just doing it for fun.

No disrespect dog, but I kind of like the continuity in his records.  I like how the skits follow a story line.  Or how "Criminal" picked up where "Still Just Don't Give A Fuck" left off.  That's the shit to me.

Yeah, but it got kinda old on "Devil's Night"...how farther could Em take "Public Service Announcment" for example?  Still, I think Steve Berman could be funny depending on the content for Slim's next LP.

Post by: AlerG on November 12, 2001, 12:30:19 PM
i agree, sticky should be included in his next solo...but this time both need to share the light a little bit more on the song...a song with rakim would be dope, and probably classic if kurupt was on there...i don't know how eminem is gonna take this new canibus approach with canibus using the whole 'stan' personna...i personally don't see it as a diss, but if em takes it that way, which most likely he will, it will set a sick sick battle on wax between the two...i hope they are cool though and possibly do a track together in the future, peace.

I really want a hard album with sick lyrics. I don't mind 1 or 2 pop records on this em joint but anything more will leave me dissapointed. I'm so annoyed but that dumb pop shit he has been talking about on the mmlp and devil's night.
