3am and same song and dance were the only tracks I fukked with.

iirc there was only a few songs with accents, why do people keep saying the whole album was accents

Stay Wide Awake was good. It was but good.

 

[Shadow King]

Honestly this album made me do a (partial) backtrack on Eminem's discography. If Marshall leaves the accent off and cuts like 4 songs this album would be received a lot differently.

Those accents were better than that garbage voice you hear on his new shyt.

Close to half the album was pretty decent. Everything he has made since has been ass. In many ways this was his last respectable album.

I actually listened to it for the first time last month because everyone here was saying it was his last good album. And honestly, it was. I mean, he did have the weird accents and the disturbing content, but here, he was in the zone creatively. He just came out of rehab, he wanted to let people know he was back with a vengeance, and he even had Dre working closely with him like in the old days. It sounded like he was back to his old self and he was having fun, and he was trying out different flows to give each song its own unique feel. Plus, Dre gave him some great beats throughout the album.

The only reason he moved away from not caring what anyone thought about his work was because it didn't go 5x platinum in one year and people didn't respond to it well. It even made him become towards the album. Now we have what we have because of the potential of making another Relapse and flopping. Even though as @SunZoo said, it was a real live rap album. In fact, this was way more deserving of being called The Marshall Mathers LP 2 than the actual one.

It's just sad that Eminem resorted to making the milquetoast sellout rap ever since. Recovery just disgusted me as a fan.

It's true that he was supposed to do Relapse 2 with similar content but it actually ended up being Refill as he eventually went the pop route with Rihanna and Pink for Recovery.

If people are sleeping on Relapse, then they really are in a comma as regards to Refill.

It wasnt great. There was def some good stuff on there. I never understood why Em always craps on that album instead of Encore. Encore is the worst album ive ever heard from a good artist. I never got the hate for Recovery either. I thought recovery was dope.

Never bumped this. Surprised so many of you did.

Relapse is a dope album

Some of the content had nikkas like and plus em is a CAC so it was just hate from that also...

But when you step back and look at it for what it was it's a good album I hope his next one is as good as relapse.


Crazy serial killer EM is 10000 times better than introspective Eminem with a pop artist on the hook...
