Mar 23, 2024 if you wanna pass the time, tell me how recovery either f----- or improved em's carreer, music wise, because we know it's probably his most popular record in the last 20 years
Mar 23, 2024 It's almost like a music discussions are partially about sharing artists other people aren't familiar with and fostering communities for them. People only talk about Eminem in here and that's why besides the J Cole thread freaks the site is dead until a another album tease happens!
Mar 23, 2024 All Em needs is a couple of tweets and insta posts tho, no ads or banners needed if you ask me
Mar 23, 2024 Recovery was a lightning in a bottle, it was successful cause pop rap was extremely trendy at the time and he had multiple catchy hooks and a new reason to be treated like an underdog again, the success of it was probably a net negative when it comes to his writing cause that's when the punchlines came through. It was nice as a comeback album and has some genuinely great songs but probably hurt his output in the long run, when he's at the top of his game with the punchlines it's still great though it's just never consistent enough.
Mar 23, 2024 He had catchy songs, he started to make less and less catchy songs or just let others do the hooks. Such a shame.
Mar 23, 2024 I always blame recovery for most of the problems "modern Em" has and that makes me dislike recovery but every time I go back to it I end up feeling like it's not that bad
Mar 23, 2024 Maybe that’s why Em had Dre announce it on Kimmel? I mean the announcement did its job, people know Em is about to drop something soon
Mar 23, 2024 Idk if he lets others do the hooks if he can't come up with anything good for his voice, I s--- on Side B but I do think he was getting slightly better at hooks again, from a memorability standpoint.
Mar 23, 2024 Eminem's "Recovery" album marked a significant turning point in his career. While opinions on its impact vary, many argue that it improved his career both artistically and commercially. The album showcased his ability to evolve and adapt to changing musical landscapes, incorporating elements of pop and rock while staying true to his rap roots. Additionally, "Recovery" addressed personal struggles and demons, resonating deeply with fans and earning critical acclaim. Its success reaffirmed Eminem's relevance in the industry and solidified his status as one of the greatest hip-hop artists of all time.
Mar 23, 2024 She’s been around for 4 years or more lol it’s not like she’s getting started. She was opening for Billie during Billie’s biggest album tour. Cole thread is dead cause they are sleeping.
Mar 23, 2024 If there is no promo people working the album, it's just going to come and go quietly and maybe sell 1-2 million. Hit records always need to be worked, but maybe he's at the stage where he doesn't care.
Mar 23, 2024 ironically, the ones with music videos have the most forgettable hooks (gnat and higher right?)
Mar 23, 2024 I just think Em has some s-----y 1 album deal with Interscope these days. So he can drop or quit whenever he wants. They do another contract and the album is out. This way he can do whatever he wants, like 0 promo or not touring.
