    You can also tell MAGA rappers fan bases are the "I don't listen to rap normally but....." crowd. Absolutely negative skill on top of all the cringe of their image it's very funny.

    They wouldn’t fit on Revival but if they were they would be middle of the pack.

    I get where you guys are all coming from. I agree that this isn’t “that” good but he is definitely improving as a rapper. Compare this to Dear Slim; it’s way better. I agree it’s not as good as anything on TDOSS though. I don’t see how he is any cornier than someone like Cardi B?

    Nah I don't hear that at all. MTBMB is super low effort compared to this and most everything else on here. Anyone calling this album Side C is musically r-----ed.

    I like every song on this album now. Even Road Rage. I don't have a single skippable track .

    Dr. Dre produces the two liveliest tracks, “Lucifer” and “Road Rage.” JID excels on the otherwise flaccid “Fuel,” while Ez Mil, Babytron, and Jelly Roll shine. They’re all paying their respects, trying (and failing) not to upstage the star.

    He doesn’t mention Drake; he tiptoes up to Kanye and André 3000 flute jokes, but then chokes; he fumbles the lowest hanging Diddy fruit. His craftiest wordplay is on “Bad One,” where he quips, “You said you’re looking for miniature golf/Thought you said ‘men to jerk off.’”

    Who writes this s---, seriously? Lol. Flaccid fuel? Men to jerk off line was one of the best on the album? It was one of the worst. Road Rage lively? Again the worst song. Ez Mill out shining Em? Wtf.

    again, Complex is a sponsor of his pop up things ... which I guess I'm too old, b/c I don't get them or see how that generates any interest with a bunch of Shady/Eminems walking around Times Square ... anyway...

    This confirms there's something else coming very soon.

    JMG just texted me ... FRIDAY, "Shady Lives" BOOK IT

    Listening again now, albums dope.

    Renaissance, Habits, Trouble, Evil, Bad One, Tobey are all solid songs

    2 songs I can do without (Brand New Dance, and Road Rage) but I get why they were added, the beats on those tracks are not good IMO to where I’m instantly turned off from the songs.

    He has some crazy verses, Lucifer/Antichrist/Fuel great 3 song run.

    End of Guilty Conscience 2 from 2:40 on is prob my fav part of the album.

    Ems verse on “Head Honcho” is another verse with good content.

    “Temporary” - what a change up, s--- had me tearing up

    Same, I don't get how pop ups help more than Em himself doing a few appearances, radio interviews, freestyles, etc.

    These reviews are playing right into what Em was talking about on the album

    They really heard “Trouble” and don’t think Em doesn’t know what he’s doing

    “It’s 2024 Em! Who’s trying to cancel you!?”

    Thats, the point. The Slim Shady character doesn’t work in 2024. We aren’t supposed to cheer for this. He’s making fun of the cancel culture bs.

    He put out a PSA and people still missed the memo

    it does but it's sounds so much like "Marsh" to me (one of my favorite bs songs from Side A) that I got a soft spot for it

    If you force it to, but I don’t think the album would be sequenced in that way if Eminem actually intended for it to be up to interpretation and work both ways. Guilty Conscience 2 isn’t nearly as effective in the reverse imo, because it lacks context without the previous songs.
