that accent on relapse was all about appealing to his main fanbase the white boys .. it was white rap at its finest
I like Relapse, I just don't find it funny. If that was his goal than he failed. Though, it's a great concept album...even if he never intended it to be one. I think the serial killer metaphor for his drug addiction is wonderful. It's that serious for Eminem. It is disappointing to hear that wasn't his intention but aye it still plays out like that so! Relapse is dope. Loved Encore, which was probably his most forthcoming honest record.
its just part of the marketing plan...talkin negative on your last album to make the next one more interesting

Where did he say it was supposed to be funny? Relapse was about proving to himself that he could spit like no other, crazy flow, rhymes, punchlines, metaphors, similies, Em's always been the dopest at strictly rhyming, and he proved that he still had it on Relapse. Take away the accent and half the rhymes/flows woulda come a little disjointed...Relapse II is going to be more about song writing, instead of strictly rapping from what I gather, which is why I have high hopes for it...
"Making 'Relapse', I was still working the drugs out of my system, so there was a lot of... just jokey shit. It was a lot of punchline-y, funny, shock value – kind of going back to 'The Slim Shady LP'," Eminem told Complex.
I love how Internet cats twist a situation into something it isn't. Like Eminem is apologizing for making a shitty album. All he's doing is explaining what his thought process was.

Nah I read that complex interview like a week ago, and I've never got the vibe he wanted to make a comedy album from any of his interviews. He says "Jokey shit", by that I read that he means it wasn't a serious album, more just rapping and talking shit, not actually trying to make a comedy album. The album was just to prove to himself he could still spit with the best, and then he went and shut down the top 3 commercial rappers all on the same track, so I think he proved his point lol...I see where you're coming from that he never mentions it was a concept album, which is kind of strange. Maybe it wasn't, but all the tracks ended up in that direction because of the drugs still being in his system, and his mindstate at the time. Either way, it comes off as a dope concept album so even if he didn't intend it, shit's aite with me...You must be the first person I've ever hear say Encore was your favourite album, good shit on having your own opinion though, about half of that album was real dope to me, 50 spat on of his dopest verses on "Never Enough" as well...
