Sep 3, 2022 Mix the content of Recovery, energy of Kamikaze, writing of MMLP2/Revival and beats of MTBMB and ypuv got yourself a classic album right there.
Sep 3, 2022 The writing on Untouchable’s last verse for example is aeons ahead of anything from Side B.
Sep 3, 2022 I feel like people really don’t see how much Em’s writing degraded on Side B & his latest features. It’s barely recognisable as the lyricist he once was. I don’t think these fans were in it for his lyrics ever.
Sep 3, 2022 Oh for sure. It doesn’t take much skill at all to write all these dad jokes. A lot of the members on this forum could probably write Em’s verses these days
Sep 3, 2022 Eminem wears Kangol hats becuase of its importance to hip hop culture in the late 80’s. His idol, LL Cool J popularized it in the Rap Scene, and the trend was also rooted by Slick Rick, Grandmaster Flash, Run-DMC, and eventually Missy Elliot. The way Snapbacks and Headbands were apart of the culture in the early 2000’s. Eminem just paying homage. the same reason he always performs with shirts of 80’s and 90’s street rappers like Snoop, Mob Deep and Jadakiss.
Sep 3, 2022 also Side A and AB’s writing is actually insane. Some of the actual literary devices go over peoples heads. I swear he has more in one song then most rappers entire mixtape in 2020
Sep 3, 2022 Yeah? Just because the album was a mess of a project doesn't mean his writing wasn't on point. Just severely overlooked because of everything else that makes something pleasing to the ear.
Sep 3, 2022 Actually insane how good the writing was on Side A, compared to the Pun, infested, lazy writing that was on Side B and is currently. Completely different levels, and Side B has some of his worst writing in his career for his usual high standards in that field.
Sep 3, 2022 Em wears Kangols all the time because he is hiding his balding. CGI isn't there in real life to fix that.
