Title: Relapse is the best hip hop album to come out in years
Post by: blunts40sbitches on June 01, 2009, 06:18:50 AM
im dead serious.....the way eminem spit lyrics, it completely caught me off guard, because im so used to this garbage swagger rap these days that have been bleeding into the underground.......finally someone comes out with sick productions  and dope lyrics.....check out this verse from Stay Wide Awake

So dark and so cold, my friends don't know this other side of me
There's a monster inside of me, its quite ugly and it fright-uns me
But they can't see, what I can see, theres a vacancy in my tummy
It's makin me, play hide n seek, like Jason I'm so hungry
Shes naked see, no privacy, but I can see she wants me
So patient see, I try to be, but see why does she taunt me
Put the drapes and see, she goes rite to sleep, and I creep rite thru the front seat
So patently, but silently, cuz I kno that shes sound asleep
"Who's wakin me, so violently, and why is he on top of me,
"He's rapin me!" she trys to scream, "Somebody please get him off me"
"He's tapin me, he's bitin me, he's laughin likes its funny"
She's scrapin me, she's fightin me, she's scratching like some dumb freak
Escapin me, no die she see, I might just be Ted Bundy
Or Satan gee, what a site to see, I'm dancin in my red panties
I'm crazy, but its alright with me, man life can be so empty
Stay away from me, cuz I'm dancin, to quite a different drum beat

like wow.....that's gotta be the dopest verse I"ve heard in a while....look at the way he rhymes three fuckin phrases in each bar.....three parts to each fuckin bar are rhymed together, that's fuckin incredible.....despite how twisted and fucked up the lyrics are hahaha, but that's classic Em for you......

man, I was highly disappointed when I heard the first two singles....but now that I gave the whole album a good listen, I can see how the two singles actually fit in the album with the rest of the songs....the whole album has a distinct sound to it that is way different from anything else out right now....and that's why the album is so dope....Dre did a brilliant job with producing the whole album, not just a couple of songs in between, and because of that, it flows really nicely from song to song.....and Em's lyrics are fuckin amazing

damn.....I think some of yall hatin on Em should really give this album a thorough listen, as in from front to back, no song skippin, and you'll see how fuckin dope this is.......forreal

LOL at the lyrics being amazing, yeah anyway  :-X

There are loads of better albums which have come out in the last few year...

Both Of Lupes albums, Both Of Black Milks albums, Elzhi - Preface, Little Brother - Getback, Busta Rhymes - Big Bang > Relapse

There are loads more, the only part of relapse you could even argue to be the best in years is that its arguably the best produced album but thats debatable since the album has no replay value imo

hellll no......i heard most of those albums.....the only album that can actually compete with Relapse is The Cool, but that shit lacks in production (great concept and lyrics, but let's face it, some of those beats were wack as fuck, he got too many in house producers on that shit).....Black Milk's album was dope production wise, ok lyrically, but hes a producer so i didnt expect much lyrical quality from him, Elzhi.....the Preface was aight.....Hes definitely underrated as an emcee, and the Preface had alot of dope cuts but for some reason the CD didnt really get that much playing time from me, I dont know I just really have to be in the mood to listen to it.....I havent heard Getback yet but dont really want to anyways cuz IMO Little Brother is just two average emcees with a hot producer......and as far as Big Bang being > than Relapse,  u cant be serious bro.....

Little Brother = Two average MCs and a Hot producer? WHAT! Phonte > like _______ Bar the obvious, Big Poohs dope and well 9th had his time, now hes past it, hes not on Getback anyways since he left LB...but w/e i can respect your opinion, i still think Big Bangs better than Relapse, both have a few wack song but Bustas more tolerable and theres some BIG tunes on that album

I completely agree. When I fist heard this verse, it was like damn...this dude is the Picasso of rhyming. Probably one of his best verses, when you listen to that part of the song you understand the meaning of ''flow'' and riding a beat, just  like a surfer does on waves.

I really like it, I wasn't feeling Lupe's first album so much, but yeah of course his second album is better than this, but in my opinion the Cool is the best album of last year.

nah homie not me, IMO Jigga man's American Gangster was one of the biggest fails in past few years (as far as anticipation goes).......so no, I dont just hop on the concept bandwagon......I actually listen to an album fully without skipping before I judge, and from what I've heard after one listen, this shit is the dopest thing out right now.....

its a dope album, for sure one of the best recent albums to come out....to early to judge but yea I could see it being one of the best albums to come out in the last few years....I would prolly say in the top 10 in the last 5 years

Good on you for backing up with actual statements and not just getting personal and shit like people do when they dont know what they're arguing about properly. I still dont like album personally but the instrumentals were amazing and four songs were great plus the two bonus tracks that were better than half the other tracks... It almost seemed like it was made a certain way and then rushed out to the public... also 20 songs/skits was also a bit much... maybe its time to lose a few skits and stuff and just make it so the tracks are good enough that people dont notice that the usual skits werent there.. to be honest his skits are gettin old now.. if he was trying to reinvent the game like many people said he was then he failed... He almost even failed on the whole concept album thing too when some songs seemed out of place... and I know 'we all wanted the old shady back' and apparently we got it but I have to say maybe we wanted a more updated one that was just psycho and not immature cuz 'We made you' is played out! I hope for better from Relapse 2 and I think that some tracks showed enough promise to deliver us better.... This album was better than Encore so it gets props for that but it doesnt touch the other albums at all... This is after a lot of listening too so my mind wont be changing!

it was a DOPE album in my opinon, but it's clearly one of those hate it or love it things, but whatever.

let those who enjoy it bump & praise & let the haters hate; but don't make a thread a week about the album in a positive or negative way. the same argument is just going to rise in each one.

i wont waste my time, look up encore threads on here, they look very similar to the relapse threads.
