Jul 10, 2024 Great question. I did touch on this on a previous lengthy post on this thread. Did you read all that? I can go more into detail if you want, but the gist is Relapse was Em having fun and you can totally tell. Em does have fun on MMLP, but also a lot of the hate and anger is real. The angry white boy persona was real. Sure, he won’t go out and do the acts he is saying on the records, but a lot of the things he said at the time were f----- up. I mean on Relapse he was saying all this f----- up s---, but doing it with a dope Arabian accent lmfao. It was a fun concept album after a long hiatus. His flow, cadence, and rhyme schemes are also top notch. Better than MMLP imo. More polished. People think because I have MMLP so low that I hate the album or something. I still genuinely enjoy the album and would still rate it around 6/10. I don’t think Em has a bad album per se. I just don’t think the sound of the MMLP or early 2000’s era has aged well. It sounds so dated, and the lyrics are not cool or edgy anymore. Dre did his thing, and there are plenty of classics but it ain’t the chronic 2001. I agree that Relapse lyrics also haven’t aged well, but at least they aren’t serious in the slightest. Relapse also is one of the best produced albums of all time imo. Dre killed it, and those beats still sound fresh and unique today. It’s all just opinions dawg, and I’m just trying to express mine. Music is subjective and a lot of it was the good times, feelings, and nostalgia we had when these albums released. Maybe Relapse is too high on my list and MMLP is too low. I’ll have to go back soon and relisten to some of these albums.
Jul 10, 2024 I don’t necessarily want Rick Rubin on this album. I think what they did together was great, but not sure I could see a rock sample fitting into the concept of this album. However, if they worked together on a non rock sample beat that would be dope. I wouldn’t be opposed to a bonus track of a rock sampled beat. I would like to see alchemist, Dre, Mustard, Se7en, Stoupe, Czarkeys, daringer, Ali, and Eminem himself. We probably won’t see any of these guys but would be dope.
Jul 10, 2024 I wonder if all the YouTube reactors are getting set up. Getting their desks tidy, deciding what to wear, practicing some new catchphrases etc for the big album release lol
Jul 10, 2024 Emine. Was never hard? He literally stepped to suge knight at the in da club music video s---t and has gun charges ect.
Jul 10, 2024 Saying his first 3 albums are outdated is contradictory considering they are his most recurring stream album still. Lol And yes, a lot of younger fans want him to return to doing Slim Shady style rapping.
Jul 10, 2024 F FOR FEELS f--- and Farewell i fell the same i f--- iwth u since day 1 and i'll also farewell to this place as soon as Eminem disappear again
