    Just watched it.
    The guy on the left is the only one who knows what he's talking about.
    Even though I loved Side B and MTBMB as a whole, I can agree with a lot of the things he's saying. And even with the ones I disagree, I can see he's making fair points.
    He said something like "Em is focusing too much on one aspect of his music" which is something I definitely agree. He's been focusing on bars/punchlines/doubles-triples and showing off how technical he can get, while disregarding depth in his lyrics and content, which he used to have in abundance. And the beat selection can be questionable sometimes as well. The musicality of it all has regressed in general after The Eminem Show and while sometimes he pulls out amazing stuff that sound good to the ear, some others he just sounds robotic or monotonous.

    Yeah myke has been my favorite of the crew for a minute now, he just actually puts s--- in a easy to understand but non antagonistic (usually) perspective from a criticism pov and it's pretty funny in the process.

    What I didn't understand was their hate for Book of Rhymes. It's fine if they don't like it, but the way Feefo and Ken worded their dislike seemed a little harsh. Em did the title justice imo. If you can ignore the content and look at the rhymes.

    That song also got dope lines and double-entendres. I was going to post them too but I forgot about it. But yeah, I don't know how to feel about some certain lines, like the one I mentioned.

    Bro I remember all the crazy convos I had on TR Shady about that new Eminem Album that was rumored to be fully produced by Dr Dre again.
    It will be a tribute Album for Proof and s--- like that.

    Then the Album was nothing like it, and everyone hated it.

    In retroperspect Relapse is a weird beast, that imho gets better with each year that passes. I am glad Em made it.

    The biggest issue that's been plaguing it has always been the accents but it's definitely easier to enjoy now when you listen to it for what it is. It has aged well and the production on the album is amazing.

    It still amazes me how people can let one or a few bad lines ruin an (otherwise) good song

    Like it's fine to acknowledge it has one or more s--- lines, but if that discredits the whole song... there are so many songs (by most artists) that are unlistenable.

    Listened to a chunk of MMLP today, he was transcending Earth on that album, songs like Who Knew & Marshall Mathers are insanity.

    Your mama can ask me for my autograph
    'Cause that cougar's a MILF
    She's the oldest trick in the book, but I sure would fall for that

    MMLP2 wordplay is by far my favourite.

    I just realized recently how many bad lines Wayne has in his songs. A lot more than Em. He's still one of the GOATS tho.
