Em wasn't kidding...he's Recovered

[eNgIeS]

I honestly cant understand the hatred on this forum towards not only Eminem's new shit, but Dr. Dre's Under Pressure leak. I've played both to people who aren't so much "west coast rap" fans and they all liked what they heard. I wont say much about Dre's leak other than it sounds futuristic and a bit dancy, which is the future of rap IMO as thats just where music around the world is going at the moment.

As far as this whole album, Alot of the songs to me are very emotional and Eminem is back to spitting his best and shows a rebirth in terms of subject matter. The production is good I think it suits the direction of the album. Don't get me wrong, I love a Dre produced album and I do like Relapse, but Recovery is so much better.

Recovery is easily better than Encore and Relapse. It might even be better than The Eminem Show in my book. I just can't understand the hate at all. Is it just this forum? I think some hip hop fans are living in the past and are unwilling to move onto new styles craving everything to be the same as 1993 or 1995 or 1988 or 2001. Fact is everything has to evolve and I appreciate the evolution. After the crap we had from the likes of Soldier Boy I'm glad that some artists are steering rap into a better future

I can't believe some people are saying that this album is as good or better than the Eminem Show!  If Em himself would never go that far.  The Eminem show is a flawless record 5 mic classic!

I think its been too long since many of you have heard the Eminem show album but seriously play that album and then play this one and you will see that nothing on the new one can fuck with lyrics like this...

"u remember when ronnie died and you said u wished it was me/
well guess what I am dead, dead to you as can be!"

"Burry my face in comic books/
cause I don't want to look at nothin/
This worlds too much/
I swallowed all I could/
If I could swallow a bottle of tylenol I would/
To end it for good/
say goodbye to hollywood!"


"If I'm a criminal
how the fuck could I raise a little girl
I couldnt
I wouldnt be fit to..
Your full of shit too guerera
that was a FIST that hit you!"


man, the irony and timeliness, creativity, the storytelling and sincerity he packed into every one of the lines on that album can never be matched by him again, that was a rapper in his prime at the top of his game!

I don't know about The Eminem Show being a "certified, 5 mic, classic"; but I agree it's easily better than Recovery.

I'd say Recovery is his best work since The Eminem Show though.

u cant be serious about the eminem show.

I'm not even speaking subjectively when I say The Eminem Show is a flawless 5 mic classic masterpiece.  

We all have albums that subjectively speaking we feel are classics because they have sentimental value, like Crucial Conflicts first album is an example of an album thats a classic for me personally but I would never say is a classic objectively speaking.

But The Eminem Show IS a bonafied classic record objectively speaking for any genre and age that album is FLAWLESS.  In fact I remember a Rolling Stone review of the album when it came out called it the PERFECT record, and everyone at this forum from rock fans like Trauma and west coast heads were all saying the same thing that it was a Classic album and best they'd ever heard!

I think people are just forgetting what it was really like back then when the album dropped maybe later I will pull up some old threads.

tes a 5 mic classic?  damn

I agree 100% with you, well said.

I think this is a superb album with intensity, introspection, honesty, witty punchlines, nice production and he is hungry.
It's an 8/10 for me and it it is an album with replay value, I think he made this album as opposed to the album making him. I guess this goes to show just how differently we can interpret something and as for a subjective classic and a no questions classic, I am not sure what that means, since it's all subjective.

Even Love The Way You Lie which I feared would be a horrible song, turns out to be a very enjoyable one, yes the hook from Rhianna gives it pop appeal but it's not like the lyrics are watered down. In fact throughout this album, the rhymes are extremely tight.

I think the album is pretty dope
