    What you said about Black Magic is a testament to how the rest of the project actually holds up because really, that song isn’t great, but like you said, it’s the most focused, connected cut on that side. It’s probably my favourite out of the lot for this reason but it’s still nowhere near what I expect or should I say what we’ve got off Em. Especially when it looked like he was on the upward trajectory. It’s like when he starts getting praise he digs himself into an artistic hole of repetitiveness.

    Yes exactly! It’s a good song like I said, not great. But it’s one of the very few I don’t skip on the project. The album is fun but there’s a lot of unnecessary stuff on it as far as content goes.

    To be honest, the first album that I didn't understand was Encore when I heard it for the first time in November 2004, after such classics as TES and 8 Mile my expectations were very high.

    The second time this happened to me was the MMLP2 album, I think it's a pretty average album. My expectations then were very high after such classics as Relapse and Recovery, and MMLP2 simply did not meet those Eminem's standards.

    And this was the third time I was disappointed after listening to Kamikaze, MTBMB and Side B for the first time. His latest albums are even worse than Encore and MMLP2. He should at least return to the Recovery / Relapse style, because he will not be able to repeat the earlier 2000's voice.

    He can still do songs like in Relapse and Recovery, so he should get back to that. This is what he can still do.

    I hate when people use Em to get clicks. This is that bald headed weird looking guy, yes. He never likes Em's music anyway. The only reason he is doing those videos are to get money. I'd maybe care what he'd think a bit if he ever created anything artistic in his life but... Well, interesting how many people really are into some dumbass so called reviews on YouTube. What a waste of time.

    I wouldn't have money to get Em.com ones anyway. Shipping will be cost the same as the album does and it'd be like paying twice for one album. Will have to wait till it's shipped to Turkey for sales and I wouldn't expect to see it here before mid February

    The truth always finds a way. Only album Side B is better than is Revival.

    I think in recent years Eminem has forgotten about my generation, which grew up on his music.

    Now he only thinks about kids like Tekashi and wonders why they didn't grow up with his music, why he is not in the Top 10 of these young rappers. But here the answer is very simple - these rappers were born after the most successful MMLP album, which came out in 2000. These young rappers could not grow up on Eminem's music, they were too small in those years when Eminem was at the very peak of his career.

    Eminem even forgot about D12, just like he forgot about my generation. This is all that I have felt in recent years.

    Eminem does a diss at the MGK, in fact he does a diss for my generation and tells us - D12 IS OVER. That's how I understood it. MGK was the last artist to grow up on Eminem's music, new younger artists didn't grow up on Eminem's music. I hate Kamikaze because this album was against my generation that grew up with Eminem's music. Eminem rejected all of us back in 2018.

    About all the hate on Em's new album I got a quote from These Demons...
    "Yeah, you know what? Haters are funny, man (haha)
    It's like, you're gonna hate it no matter what it is
    Yet you still click on it"

    Nobody is "finally realizing" s--- the people that didn't care for the album are the ones that are mostly having a conversation rn and that's fine different opinions are good when they're not obviously trolling and they have good points like I enjoy the album but I also agree with some of the s--- that @hargydon said you don't have to go all in on either side

    r/Eminem thinks that calling melon a cornball is "sticking up for their favorite artist"

    Well we are not. I don't listen to artists I never enjoy and make video about it to get some money. Nobody really needs to try to insult a music critic, those people basically insulted themselves by becoming one. I don't wanna hear a guy actin' as if his opinion matters more than anybody elses when they haven't even created a piece of music themselves. The fact that bald headed guy keeps on reviewing Em and he never actually liked any music by him is even worse. Like why would you do that except for more clicks and more money Em's name offers you ?

    d---. I got the CD because of the different cover, but I wish this alternative versions came with a bonus track or something, something that made it more worth buying than just a different cover.
