better than anything he's done post relapse ... but i can see why they left it off the album
-
Wonder when they cleaned it up and polished this off, maybe during the Death of Slim Shady sessions -
went back to that album, i know you don't like it that much Scit, but I think it's great man..my only beef is the Eminem verse on Luka and Kyrie... he got smoked by 2 Chains on that one, and not even close. NO MORE CARDIAC BACARDI RHYMES FFS

truth hurts was supposed to be on the track during TES era.

breaks my heart reading this... what could have been.. Rakim experiment was a massive failure in the end
-
I love this. This is that vintage em style we all know and love. He was rhyming much slower and naturally
-
according to his voice and flow i assume it may have been recorded during devils night era.

Yeah sounds closer to that and MMLP. I don't see where this fits on the eminem show.
-
that bass line.. fire

sounds like a song from the early eminem show recordings which ended up being a leftover .. hence why they used it for a skit on that album

R&B singer Truth Hurts, Dr. Dre’s latest protégé, said she recorded vocals for The Eminem Show several months ago in Detroit.
“It came out hot,” she said. “I think it is kind of a spinoff of Rockwell’s ’Somebody’s Watching Me,’ ’cause I remember singing those melodies. We did that a while ago, before he started getting into the record full-force, so I don’t know what songs he’s going to use. Hopefully that’s one of them.”

hey! i brought that info from webarchive above :D give your props to the turkish insider :)
by the way truth hurts sang the chorus on "nasty mind" of d12.

that bass line.. fire
classic dre! those were the days dre was still making beats on his own. at least drums and bassline.
check "business", "put it on me", "looking at you" and hear same drum and bassline vibe.
-
hoping for the day I wake up and see dozens of dre productions from the vault released on the internet specifically from the 1998-2008 period

I've listened to at least 20-25 of those vault. Trust me, you'd wish you never hear them.

turkish/israeli connect
was going to say, timeline makes sense as it sounds a bit like devil's night Em.. Truth Hurts being on this originally makes sense, too

but if they have few (hundred!) of these tucked away, i'll take him...
would be nice if scary ass dre saw our response and was inspired to release 02-07 joints

All this hype for a pretty mediocre track IMO

So have I, but obviously a lot of potentially good tracks are unreleased

Damn… after all these years… that track playing in the background surfaces… and like Sccit said it’s better than anything he’s done recently which makes sense because this prime era Eminem and even made it onto Eminem Show in some form at least…
Interesting how it samples Mase from the “Lookin At Me” single that was a big hit summer of 98’—I hated that shit! Don’t get me wrong I wasn’t that sophisticated in hiphop at that age so I still had the habit of buying the top record on the shelf—and I remember buying Mase at blockbuster and bumping it on the Sophmore basketball team bus ride in the snow and it that snow ❄️ white cover and on first listen I thought it was like Doggystyle or some shit, lol… but it’s the McDonalds effect it tastes good at first but doesn’t endure and later you regret it
So the “Lookin At Me” sample really catches my ear and also 50 Cent used that Mase flip in a song he used just before Eminem signed him “Not Like Me” so there’s some big connection there that catches my ear. I want to add that also 50 Cent ended up trying to sign Mase to his G Unit label.
“Shorty I can see you watchin me/
Now what you like more/
The watch or me”
Also there is the Michael Jackson sample that catches my ear, which Master P and many artists have flipped—dope

How about that flow though. Flowing like water. It’s like he’s just trying to talk to someone but it all comes out rhyming naturally. Shit was otherworldly. Nobody I mean NOBODY could flow like prime Eminem.

Yeah of course it’s prime Eminem. I mean, it was insane the run he was on—because how does anyone top MMLP?!?
I mean for God’s sake, Dre said it was the closest he ever came to making the perfect album was working on MMLP. And then Eminem Show comes at the height of the dubcc and I remember Trauma and everyone on here was going bananas just off the snippets of chorus/hooks we got first.
Then.. the guy fuccin goes and tops it yet again with “Lose Yourself” and “8 Mile Road” being his magnum opus and best he ever did…
But yet he still wasn’t done topping himself because he launches 50 Cent and some thought that was even bigger.

If this was in the vaults all these years imagine what else he’s hoarding. Really hope he comes to his senses and releases that stuff like Nas did with the lost tapes series instead of this re releasing the same music with 1 new song nonsense

I remember those days..i think i still have the rips of the chorus/hooks files for this album and another

u might wana put pac and biggie up there
i duno, i always thought they were pretty good, but what do i know
-
The beat and chorus are a little plain on this, and the subject of the song is very navel gazing.
Anyway, if we're talking flows, I always felt M&M's flow > Eminem's flow.

That’s dope someone else remembers that. It was in the days when snippets and leaks were exploding on the internet and yet album sales and physical cd sales/record stores/book stores/rap magazines were still flourishing — so you had the best of both worlds, and it’s not coincidental that the music was better then too.
And somebody else remembers that the hooks all leaked first. Like as if Jimmy Iovine wanted to go give the top execs at the major label a look at the new album but only wanted to bring the hooks, in case it leaked, and it did.
But fun fact you might remember: it had “Stimulate” in place of “Say Goodbye to Hollywood” which makes you think “Say Goodbye to Hollywood” was the last song he recorded for his last perfect classic solo album—which is kind of poetic

Thanks for this. I've listened to the track a lot over the past few days, and before I saw your post I felt like DJ Quik might have had his hand in this production. Knowing that Truth Hurts was originally involved makes me feel stronger about that. Something about the drums and synths reminds me of the productions that Dre and Quik had together during this era.
-
Makes me sad how good Eminem sounded (voice/flow) and how good this Dre beat is compared to whatever the hell his average crew of producers are putting out nowadays.
-
that beat's a bounce!
so it's just one new song on the soundtrack?
