cool looks dope just seen a commercial for the single and the album as I responding to this thread, and Game's Red was mentioned at the end of the commercial aswell....
-
the album should be dope...i enjoyed Relapse for what it was, still very dope in comparison to Encore, covers are coo..."Not Afraid" is coo...see if he has any more tricks up his sleeve

I know that one day everyone will realize that Encore is one of Em's best albums. One day.

his worst lol.
but Eminem agree with you;
"The Marshall Mathers was a classic
The Eminem Show was fantastic
But Encore just didn't have the caliber to match it
I guess enough time just ain't passed, yet
A couple more years, that shit'll be ill-matic".
MMLP = SSLP > The Eminem Show = Infinite > Relapse > Encore, for me.
i don't agree with the extreme hate Encore gets, i'm one of those guys who defends it when people say it's one of the worst albums ever, but one of Em's best? chiiiiilll. :P

Spend Some time. real ass joint
Mockingbird. real ass joint
Never enough. banger
Encore. banger
like toy soldiers. real ass joint
Then about 4 other joints had aweful hook execution OR aweful delivery in the verses which ruin the songs.
ie: yellow brick road, em is telling a story... literally.. he aint spit with no conviction on this track.. Makes a good idea into a boring song. Crazy in love: nice beat, good sampled hook, good lyrics, but he's sing-songing the whole shit and it sounds gay.
-
^Yellow Brick Road is one of favorites off that album; he drifts off & uses this weird voice to spit the second verse, but i can tolerate & still feel the song.
but overall the album just had some weaker spots & less replay value than his other albums.
-
I bought the MMLP for a dollar today. I really don't see the love behind the album. It's the content. I can't take people's complains about his vocals serious when they say they like his voice on MMLP or SSLP. His voice isn't any worse.
What Encore has that all his other albums lack besides Eminem Show is content.
-
interesting looking covers. cool concept. ;D
they look more like alternative rock covers though :P
-
I was going to make a thread on encore the other day but i figured it'd hurt to many eminem groupies to bother with it. lol
Basically after initial excitement of a new eminem album especially from his groupies, when things came back to perspective, it was judged to be a horrible album, completely wack and i definately agreed. It IS one of the worst mainstream albums released by someone considered to be a 'great' imo and many others who follow hiphop past an eminem joint and can judge his shit without bias think the same.
But then i kept hearing y'all recently talk about how its got all these dope ass joints on it etc so i gave it another spin and the shit sounded just as wack today as it did then. I cant even believe i gave it another spin. The shit is so uninspired and boring and has no replay value at all. Some of the joints are straight up garbage material and the stronger joints aint even THAT strong. It really is garbage, i just figured fuck it, no point making a thread on encore, its bad enough having yayo and bizzare threads.
As for the cover, its aite, nothing special at all. If this was an album done by somone like game, niggaz would on some its looks cheap as fuck shit...like some i guess game spent all his money on taking pics with dre on twitter shit lol :D
Haha but on the real, as i said when eminems single dropped, shit sounded simple and could possibly be an indication of him going back to his roots and just getting back to keeping it simple and making good music and hiphop. The cover has obvious meanings to it but i like how its simple. Will be interesting to see how the final product turns out. Im kinda interested in hearing a follow up to his single just to see how the rest of the album is going to be. But a solid first single and naming your album 'recovery' points to both positivity and confidence in his music too past the obvious meanings.

What Encore has that all his other albums lack besides Eminem Show is content.
sometimes you just got to enjoy the insane, flow side of Hip Hop; but it had some content on there.
Kill You - insane flow & just dismantled in so many aspects, even though the message is "fuck you bitches".
Stan - probably one of the most content filled, deep, message sending songs in music history lol.
Who Knew - content if i ever heard any.
The Way I Am - people won't change him, personal song; content to me.
The Real Slim Shady - "you can't be me, so stop trying"; content to me.
Remember Me - no real direction, but flow wise & rhyming wise, just incredible; sick features too.
I'm Back - no real direction, but again, it's just incredible, the wordplay & such.
Marshall Mathers - gets personal, regardless of what you think of it's content, it's gotta be one of my favorite Eminem songs.
Drug Ballad - drug song, which was part of him; again, flow is untouchable.
Amityville - song about Detroit & it's dangers lol. the anger gets you so hyped.
Bitch Please II - >>> the OG.
Kim - content, even though the events didn't really happen; you still feel his hatred lol.
Under The Influence - D-12 song, so naturally it's just "goofy", but still dope.
Criminal - kind of has a message to it, but it doesn't at the same time lol.
so yeah, it has it's joints without much "content", but those songs are made up for & then some with INSANE flows, rhyming, wordplay, etc.; where basically the only thing missing from the song is "a deep message".
but flip the coin & you got some personal matters with messages & content.
all in all, a certified classic in my eyes; top album of the decade & one of the best in Hip Hop history.
if you strongly disagree, i'm afraid we're just going to have to agree to disagree lol.

Don't tell me you only just heard MMLP? Fuck son how old are you lol, that album was the theme music for 2 or 3 years after it dropped, shit goes as hard today as it did then. Songs don't always need a message or a story, sometimes a banging ass beat and an emcee at the top of his game is just what I need...
These covers are cool, definitely a different look for Em from his previous covers.
-
I'll probably treat this thread as "MMLP vs Encore" if there isn't any topic
But hey, this thread is "Eminem - Recovery (Covers)"! why comapring albums .....
-
looks dope

So just back to topic ;D
IMO, this cover (the cube one) is on the same level as MMLP (Just concerning the cover)
Hope to see another classic album by Em

No, I just bought the album - as in I've had it illegally for years - and gave it another listen. I have heard it before and was not impressed (hence I never spent money on it) despite having it on my i-pod. Matter of fact Eminem never impressed me until The Eminem Show (again his content reigned supreme) and subsequently with Encore (despite it's production sounding dated by the time it was released). I thought Relapse was a dope conceptual album until he said it wasn't one and was his attempt at being funny while rhyming. So, I really don't like Relapse for that reason.
What I have to say about Encore is this, no other artist in the history of hip-hop has captured an artist at the crossroads like Eminem has with Encore. At least 25% of the album was exactly about that and it went over peoples heads because they dismissed it as being about nothing.
Obviously, my stance is unique as the majority of people agree with you all. I am also quite aware both Eminem Show & Encore production aren't as favored but I don't care because the actual content and it's delivery is much superior.
Note:
There's certain tracks I really enjoy from both MMLP (Amityville) & SSLP (I'm Shady).
The complaint about his vocals on Encore & Relapse amuse me because he sounded worse at the begging of his career.
-
Diferente taste of music is good...but you like encore,c'mon man,slap yo selfe ;D only track i like is that with nate dogg i 50..
covers looks good..cant wait for album 8) 8)

I know everything evolves but its crazy to see how hip hop has changed.

I know that one day everyone will realize that Encore is one of Em's best albums. One day.
luckily that will never happen

that's your opinion, not a fact.
the difference with the older albums is, that he didn't rap with an accent.
he used the high pitched voice
-
great covers...hope that album content will match the covers :)
-
I prefer the 1st one.
-
the one with Downtown Detroit looks dope 8)

Yes, thank you for pointing out I'm stating my opinion. When one types they are usually stating their opinion. It is redundant to say "my opinion is" or "i think".
I am aware he used a high pitch voice but it wasn't any better than the accent.
-
Both covers are really cool. Hope the music matches.

that's all that matters in the end anyway. 8)

well since this is text based communication, it helps.
especially since some people on here think that their opinion has more value than any other

Yes, a clash of egos happens in a natural conversation with two opposing point of views.

every EM album is dope.. Encore is his worste. its not horrible as people make it tho. its more funny then serious to me. i like it. and at first the accent shit was annoying. but it fit the songs he used it on and now im cool wit it. relapse was dope as fuckin hilarious/
cant wait for new EM cd. first cover is better
-
second one looks dope
-
I dont know action Ive seen you go on about encore but I just think your seeing something that isnt there I really do.Like when people read books and think its a metaphor for something bigger.The album isnt as bad as people make it out to be but it was still pretty terrible.My 1st singles concept was obvious,this shouldnt go over anyones head.but the delivery of it was cheesey and silly.Puke wasnt some deep song it was just terrible.Mosh was like white america part 2 but not nearly as good.Mockingbird was yet another song about hayley,boring.just lose it was just downright unlistenable.Big weenie wasnt deep,it was just trash.Crazy in love was yet another kim song but its just a worn out subject and the song was terrible.One shot 2 shot was probably one of the worst d12 songs put out,and I like their albums.Ass like that was extremely cheesey.Evil deeds was ok,never enough was decent,yellow brick road and like toy soliders were good,I enjoyed rain man,encore and spend some time.But 9 of 16 tracks were terrible to mediocre and the rest were good but nowhere near his best material.It was a bad album through and through.

so, are there any decent remixes of Not afraid out there?
