    Msolo didn’t say he knew who the artist was or that he knew the tracklist. Just that Eminem had the big single he was looking for .

    but yes, post Malone could equal a big single

    I remember hearing this as well back in 2009-10, just never got a feel for how good these tracks actually were.

    Given that Beautiful (atrocious), Careful What You Wish For, and My Darling (mediocre x2) were selected for release from these studio sessions, my gut feeling is that all these (very expensive) samples and features were squandered given his sloppy writing at that time. This material would have been ideally suited for an Eminem album made in 2001-3…

    If I had to pick between the two, I’d still choose Relapse over this hypothetical classic-rock-sample album from 2007/8 — Deja vu alone justifies its existence.
    ― ― ― ― ― ― ― ― ― ―

    P.S. — This is from an old review of Relapse (by @WPG ?) posted on either D12 World or back in the early days of Section 80. Holds up just as well today as it did >10 years ago:

    And with that, the flaming wreck that is Relapse comes to a screeching halt and delivers what I believe is, ahem, the greatest Eminem song ever. Lose Yourself, Say Goodbye Hollywoood, Stan, a bunch of songs are great. But he's never had anything that's this revelatory, unbelievably captivating and conflicted as Deja Vu. As has been said by countless others, Em doesn't sound that recovered at all. Like I said on My Mom, this guy (on the same song, mind you) admits that he covered up the drug overdose that almost killed him and manages to sound flippant and tongue-in-cheek about it. The pain my ears have endured over the last week of writing this review have been worth it for my rediscovery of this song. I've probably listened to it forty times in the last week and every single time, I'm shocked. I wouldn't even change the voice. It's not the accent, necessarily - he sounds like the devil on Eminem's shoulder telling him that the whole ordeal wasn't actually that important and that everything is okay, which is completely different from what the song would seem to suggest on paper. That third verse is just incredible. "See me and you, we almost had the same outcome, Heath" is haunting and seems incredibly honest, but once again is delivered so as to suggest that it's all just a big joke. Then the way he delivers the personal revelations ("'cause that Christmas, you know the whole pneumonia thing?") is like he's a kid confiding in you about stealing change from his Mom's purse. Add to this another (maybe the best) in a long line of incredible beats and probably the best chorus Em's ever done, and you have an all-time classic. 10/10

    Are you taking about Kamikaze? If so, I was on this forum when it released. Someone on here posted the Spotify or whatever of it, and I thought it was a photoshop gag.
