Jun 28, 2022 Random thought of that day. I remember Smack That being the first Eminem song i really disliked when it first came out. Still do, song, verses and content sucks. Didn’t like The Kids either but Smack That was the first time I remember going to my mates in school, saying this is awful and skipping it on my CD player at the time.
Jun 28, 2022 So...basically the headphones didn't change, but Em's ears did? I think it's a problem for the whole team. Dre's ears also aren't the same anymore, Gospel sounds awful on streaming. I also peaked at the credits of the new song and a guy called "Mike Strange" mixed it. But Mike was also around when Em did Encore. I once read that as you get older, you'll start to hear less highs. But you'll still hear plenty of bass. That might explain why Eminem's, Snoop's and Dre's newer music start to sound a lot brighter. They think the music sounds better that way. But actually it might sound worse that way.
Jun 28, 2022 Nah you don't get it. If an iconic song of his sells well, of course one feels happy for their favorite rapper. However, people who love The Real Slim Shady as a song would still love it even if didn't reach a billion streams. If a song doesn't sell well, it doesn't change the fact how one feels about the song in the first place. If you like/dislike the song, you like/dislike it irrespective of what it sold. A good example is LTWYL. Sales are a good quantifier of relevancy but other than that, they should be pretty irrelevant in terms of how an individual perceives a song.
Jun 28, 2022 I think Eminem wrote at least the "profitable - monsters will go, Mazda and go" rhymes. Either that or Snoop does a good imitation of Eminem's style, but I don't think he's that familiar with Eminem's work to be able to do that.
Jun 28, 2022 I don't know but Mike Strange mixed most of Em's stuff at least since Recovery and the guy seems to be really clueless about his d--- job.
