Jul 13, 2024 Celeb reactions: Jay Z : on replay all day Chris Brown: best album in a long time Katy Perry: He’s back!! Cardi B: track 2 the best on this FOR SURE! Rihanna: where is my feature?? Nicki Minaj: an albummmmm! anyone seen any other reactions?
Jul 13, 2024 I really think a Dre feature was needed at some point on this album. Dre is just done doing anything new I guess! We’ve got to get at least one final Em, Dre, 50 song, even if Em just ghostwrites all the verses lol
Jul 13, 2024 Yeah, it's his modern sound done WORSE that's why it may sound different but it's what he's trying to replicate with the topics and delivery, the choppy flow was introduced in MMLP2/ShadyXV up to an extent, the fax/printer horrendous choppy flow was introduced in revival
Jul 13, 2024 He really toned down the fast flows he was throwing at the end of every song and it makes every song better
Jul 13, 2024 Yes! Which goes back to my original reply to Hargydon, when he asked "Why would people want him to retire when he’s finally closed the chapter[...]? And I said it's because we're too afraid that if he did indeed k--- Slim Shady forever in order to move on to a new chapter in his artistry, we're all too afraid that once he lets go of that part we all love so much, it's going to sound too much like Revival.
Jul 13, 2024 Recovery and MMLP2 sound nothing alike. The vocal and delivery of MMLP2 like you mention sound closer to Revival than they do Recovery. MMLP2 is what started it all as far as choppy flows.
Jul 13, 2024 I think a lot of it was to do with the bad reactions to ShadyXV, Kings Never Die, Phenomenal, Campaign Speech & his features around that time. People wanted him to change, but he took it as “okay they want me to not be as intricate” so he made formulaic ballads & tapped into some fresh political content too but made sure to give everyone something so to speak, which ended up coming across as a jack of all trades, but a master of none. He’s quite tasteless so if he misreads the consensus it can backfire massively lol.
Jul 13, 2024 A double album would have made more sense with this new project. First one everything just before GC2, second one GC2 and some more fitting songs than what we got. Something like Yellow Brick Road or maybe Rabbit Run style…
Jul 13, 2024 but that's the thing, Revival was him going BACK, not trying something new, he was trying to copy himself from 2010 - 2015, not go in a new direction as for retirement, I'd be fine if he retires after this one but it's not like I WANT him to, if he has nothing else in him then he shouldn't force it imo, if he DOES then bring it on and we'll see how it goes, he can f--- up by experimenting and that's fine, but I want him to at least try
Jul 13, 2024 It's crazy I just listened to criminal, and he don't even get close to that on this album...but it's still good haha
Jul 13, 2024 Section 80 reactions “I hate it because he didn’t listen to my comments about a specific song or flow I wanted” “his voice bothered me” “I hated revival but wanted more emotional songs” lol. I been on this site for a long time (studioleaks day) but rarely comment. But I saw a few comments saying stay away from this site when the album drops because of the negativity. Wow they were right.
