So you never argue from anything within your own mind, personal taste, opinion, feelings, perceptions, etc?I don't argue subjectivity either.
i
your label aint gonna say shyt to you or force you to do shyt because you're super duper A-list.
stop trying to impress 12 year white girls from the suburbs of connecticut.
Proof is dead breh
fukk it. I'll say it.
Rick Rubin is NOT a great match for Eminem as a producer. In fact, I'm happy to write a couple of well thought out paragraphs as to why I think he is not.
Infinite budget. Every producer in the world sending you beats. Super high hip hop IQ. ALCHEMIST AS YOUR TOUR DJ. Yet here he is making an album that is not only full of pop rap records with pop features, it's specifically designed for streaming. No artistic vision or drive. This is a dude afraid of falling off commercially, taking every chance he gets to juke the numbers. Doing whatever Interscope wants lol.
It's shyt like this that makes me appreciate the greats more. Nas has taken a lot of risks. Hov bucked the entire current sound of rap with 4:44. Kendrick is doing elaborate concept albums in an era where albums are dead. Cole dropped an album heavily influenced by jazz. RISKS. What risk has Eminem ever taken?

Honestly though, all jokes aside.
If you can get past the accents, Relapse has some dope fukking flows on there. I'd take like half that album (maybe more if you count Refill) over anything Eminem has done since The Eminem Show.
