Eminem - The Death of Slim Shady Official Thread

[Tetris v2.0]

Eminem doing most of the production.... may not be a bad thing

*ducks tomatoes and a shoe*

His production worked on TES, Cheers, 8 Mile, the first D12 album. It was his sound and it suited those songs.

I'd much rather he try and tap into that again, than the production choices he's been making the last ten years with others. Especially if this is supposed to be a send off to that era...

Cacs not looking forward to it lol

Em just doing what Aftermath wants him to do still, working with Dre flunkies (Dem Joints, Fredwreck, etc) instead of branching out at all. This might be your last album and you got those guys instead of Alch or whatever? He could put a Black Album type list together of any producers he wants, with any samples he wants.

To be fair, Eminem spent years working with outside producers after Relapse, and the results were mixed. Recovery had no self-production and two Dre tracks (except for a bonus track). You had guys like Just Blaze, Boi-1da, DJ Khalil, and Havoc making beats. Every album after that was done the same way except for this new one, and I think that's on purpose.

Eminem's best music was made by himself and/or Luis Resto, or the Bass Brothers, or Dre and his camp. It wasn't until Recovery that he started branching out because he wasn't interested in production at the time, he had already cut ties with the Bass Brothers years ago, and Dre was busy with Detox. Maybe the production will end up sounding more like old-school Eminem? No outside producers, no rap features, no pop features, everything done in-house? It could be a good sign.

I think Em needs to work with other producers AND tell them to just play him some beats. Not play him Eminem style beats. That’s what worked so well with Nas and Hit. He wasn’t just giving him Nas style beats. It’s never too late to try some different stuff.

Okay.

Biz is dope and great at this point with all the albums he dropped.

You’d seem to know more than me or maybe not?

Just wondering if someone like Bizarre (who I haven’t heard in years) is doing okay financially?

Hope he is, just wondering about guys I heard music from 20 years ago. Hope everything worked out alright

 

[Figaro]

Remember when the Encore track list leaked prior to the album & all the CAC's sworn that it was fake & ploy from Em & his camp to confuse the leakers....

Then it ended up actually being real

Good old days.

 

[dakidbanks]

they've actually done a few things together but not much

I know bout those but that ain’t enough.. 3 tracks in x amount of years and I think the Tony Touch joint was before he became Em DJ lol

Bizarre does meet and greets at weed stores and shows for 50 people

Dude can't be doing that well and I'm not trying to diss him

The He's Got A Gun series is better than anything the clowns and friends have ever done.

 

[Nuuko]

I wish Eminem would just avoid Dr Dre and them Shady Records/Aftermath weed carriers tbh.

Some of these features & producers shouldn't even have a role on an Em album.

I have no idea what you're referencing and I know you're just trying to get a rise out of me by comparing it to icp so

Man, this dude stay disrespecting Alchemist Alch gives him a dope beat on his album, even the title of the album for the song, and Em only spits one verse that makes the track only 1min 30 seconds

Actual good rap? Not surprising it wouldn't be familiar

I stopped following Bizarre after he left Twiztids label (MNE). He and king Gordy did a few albums together there.

Seem them both live a few times.

I read your question.

But honestly I don't know about anyone's factual financial situation other than my own.

Know that R Kelly and Michael Jackson were both in bad places financially after earning millions.

DMX had reportedly $50,000 in the back when he died with over 10 kids as per TMZ.
