    Lol I just realised 'Brand New Dance' is like a song FOR disabled people too,

    It's not just about taking the piss out of Christopher Reeve, it's like... perversely good hearted lmao bc disabled people can't dance, it's like he made a song for disabled people to dance to in theory, "So, party people, are you with me? What's the deal? If you real, grab your chair up by the wheel"

    s---'s p brill. Also a bop asf. CAN YOU FEEEL THE FUNNNKY BEAT.

    Yeah that's insanity. Some of Recovery writing is so bad it's absurd, like it's almost in that category of 'so bad it's good', and absolutely insane at the time that... it was the first time Eminem's perfect writer aura came off, bc even with Encore... it was just like laziness n he was f---ing about/high.

    But Recovery, some of the writing, was like 'oh okay... you're human, and, like, autistic'.

    Like, 'you said it you wanted your punchlines a little more compact, well shorty I'm that man'... then proceeds to write some of the most convoluted, long-winded and contrived punchlines ever.

    I'm an uncooked slab of beef laying on your kitchen floor / other words I'm off the meat rack...

    I mean. Absurd.

    MMLP2 has some truly incredible writing. Especially on the s--- he left off @ Groundhog Day and Wicked Ways wordplay... PHEW.

    Leaving Groundhog Day out of the standard was stupid. I don't like Wicked Ways because of the hook

    Where is the nostalgia on Recovery? That album has nothing to do with the first 3 or blonde hair and all that. If anything the fact that he looked like B Rabbit :bookah:

    Yeah the hook is whatever. But the verses are so good it superceeds it. That spitting and content shuda been on there. Especially when he's putting s--- like So Much Better on there, which is alright but just a pointless 'b---- track' and sounds more at home on TES or Encore.

    All his albums did more sales before streaming lmfao

    So instead of acting like he flopped because he's eminem take streaming into the equation, it's way harder to sell a ton due to streaming

    The Death of Slim Shady isn't even close to a flop,tbh it's just like Any other album not by Taylor swift these days. Comes and goes

    It's a flop but because he didn't release physicals on time. Also the fact that it only had 1 strong single... but it will go platinum sooner or later anyway.

    The writing and flow are great. Dense and creative. It's an example from that era of... how he seemed exhausted after making it, and said he would write until he'd get to the last thing he'd think of vs. the first; it shows vs. some recent writing where it feels the total opposite, like 'oh, thought it... may as well say it / have to say everything he thinks of immediately', it's more considered.

    And somehow I saw my future is in this that's how I know my mission
    Little boom box boomin', spittin'
    Practicin' numerous writtens
    When I'd sit in my room, envisionin' my dreams come to fruition
    I remember Proof would visit
    Couldn't wait to play him my new sh-, he'd go cuckoo ballistic
    Go through the roof for his sh-
    It's like we knew the instant
    We touched a mic that both of us two existed to do this sh-
    Never quit, too persistent
    Started a group of misfits, Proof had a proposition
    If we all brand together, there ain't no stopping this sh-
    Come up with aliases, bipolar opposites and
    Be ready to come off the top as sharp precision
    If you got dissed at the Shop, 'cause if they caught you slippin'
    They'd take your spot if someone got to rippin' you
    And you forgot your written


    It's fire.
