    What song on Relapse is more "bizarre" than My Darling?

    Unique doesn't mean good.

    No unique doesn't mean good, by definition. It can just be a factor of. Something can be not unique but great or unique and s---.

    I'm saying Relapse is unique and great. Not great because it's unique.

    More bizarre than My Darling? Basically every song on there. Like BAGPIPESSSS FROM BAGGGHDAD or Stay Wide Awake. Same Song & Dance... My Darling is good but not made in the Relapse style n would sound out of place there. That, Beautiful, Careful What You Wish For... all made for 2006-7.

    Amazing album. My Darling should been the intro though.

    One of the worst albums I've heard in my entire life, I never understand how can people like this one but to each their own I guess. Relapse would have been good for me, if it only had Deja Vu and Stay Wide Awake on it.

    Stay Wide Away and Bagpipes are "bizarre" if you insist, but in a goofy kind of way. Same Song and Dance should have been a bonus track at best. There's nothing very interesting going on in those songs at all. Whereas My Darling is a psychedelic trip with probably the most chilling chorus in his catalog.
    You're not really disagreeing with me here. I've already My Darling is very different from the Relapse we got. I'm saying the album should have sounded more like that and less like a--- Like That.

    Eminem himself intended for Relapse to be a spiritual sequel to SSLP. My Darling is a clear extension of the intro to SSEP. Somewhere along the line he lost his way and ended up releasing Encore 2.0 with a dozen variations on the a--- Like That accent. And dipshits like you gobbled it all up.

    It sounds nothing like a--- Like That to me. Dipshit. I'm no dipshit, first of all, f--- face.

    a--- Like That, I can't stand. He's just doing an irritating accent there.

    He's not doing that on Relapse at all to me and many people's ears and himself has said - he's bending words. Half the reason people can't nail down 'the accent' on Relapse is because often there isn't one, he's just emphasizing the sounds of words to their maximum effect, i.e. an 'ee' sounding word heeeee''s saying it like that, stretching sylables for maximum rhyme and just the sonic sound of the phonetics. That's not a--- Like that.

    Regardless of what it is, it sounds good to me. Wheras a--- Like That just sounds annoying.

    Relapse has amazing flows, rhymes, it's addictive listening. To me and many others.

    So it's not goblling anything up. Either you find it sounds good, or you don't. Dipshit.

    Relapse is descriptive, detail-orientated, very particular. Encore is lazy, unfocused and stupid. It's the complete opposite. Just because he says stupid s--- on Relapse too, he says stupid s--- on all his albums; Relapse it's actually justified as he's in-character, like on SSLP. As you mentioned it's a spiritual successor of.

    It shouldn't have been like My Darling and that kind of vibe because it's predictable and just him rapping about himself in a very straight forward, liter-al boring as f--- 'me me me wahh' way, which is what we got with Recovery, when he succumb to the criticism and gave dipshits like you what you wanted.

    Relapse was far more interesting artistically and that he's been since then. When he came out with it, I even remember the initial interviews and a press release saying something to the effect of he wants to make the music less directly about him, that's why he was in-character and trying to use his writing to create fiction... which is what an artist should do. But he's too insecure and as soon as everybody didn't love it, he ran straight back to safety. In fact more than ever. He grabbed a bunch of pop stars, popular producers and did the exact thing he said he didn't want to do 'me me me, serious, literal'... that's lame art.

    Also Same Song & Dance is one of the best songs on the album. You obviously have s--- writing taste and understanding.

    I didn't say that idiot. Eminem said that's what he was going for. And save for a couple of tracks he failed abysmally.

    In what way did he fail? Only if you're an autistic r----- like you and you are comparing sounds, expecting it to sound the same. As opposed to what he clearly meant of being an in-character, more fictional album. Which is what it is. And a great one.

    I don't understand how you can hate relapse but like stay wide awake. It's literally one of the most "relapse" songs.

    I feel like non relapse fans like that one because some geek on rap genius pointed out the rhyme scheme so it has to be appreciated

    Stay Wide Awake has such a dope beat and GREAT (pre)hook. Too bad the verses are what a 14 year old future r--ist would say

    My Darling, Cocaine >>>>>

    Like @Michael Myers said the beat, flow and the hook ar top tier, the lyrics are of course still cringe as f--- but at least is does not sound bad, the only song I've listened on repeat from Relapse is deja vu. Other than these 2 songs, I could never re-listen to that garbage a--- album ever again, to me is his worst album without a doubt, but again that is personal preferences anyone else can enjoy it as much as they want lol.

    I know how to read. Hence me quote-paraphrasing you saying he failed.

    Me extrapolating the rest, was exactly that - extrapolation. Me extending and presuming meaning and adding to what you said.

    Learn how to distinguish linguistic concepts. f---ing moron.

    I said Eminem failed at delivering a worthy spiritual follow-up to SSLP. How you read that as a complaint that Relapse didn't sound exactly like SSLP can only be explained by illiteracy.

    credibility
    noun
    the quality of being trusted and believed in.
    • the quality of being convincing or believable.

    Like I said in my first post here, the album is too goofy to be taken seriously. The serial killer stuff isn't believable in large part thanks to that ridiculous accent.
