Jun 2, 2024 I was 9 years old when I got my mother to buy me Encore, and 12 when I bought The Re-Up. My brain definitely hasn't "preserved" these albums as "originals" making me think they are something they aren't. They are trash. Your argument here is r-----ed.
Jun 2, 2024 Let’s hope Eminem won’t fumble the rest of the rollout and album. let’s hope quality gets better from here on out.
Jun 2, 2024 If it’s really only 10 tracks total, it’s already fumbled for me no matter how cohesive the theme is
Jun 2, 2024 Showing my age here....I am from the d12world.com/board days. I am old and out of touch, but I cannot believe the amount of butt hurt Megan Thee Stallion fans are about that line. My lord people are soft as h--- now.
Jun 2, 2024 My Name Is is goofy funny and it works as the perfect introduction to the album but I rarely want to replay it
Jun 2, 2024 They are gonna have a psychological break when they hear the rest of the album and I'm here for it
Jun 2, 2024 Chorus is lazy as f---. My Name Is. My Name Is. Slim Shady. That's it. The flow is bad. He's more talking than rapping here. It sounds really bad. The lyrics are so so. Role Model should have been the lead single. People's taste is horrible, as RM, the best track of The Slim Shady LP, is totally forgotten by the mainstream public.
Jun 2, 2024 We know there is some sort of performance happening on Monday thanks to denaun And he also has a concert on Thursday where most likely he will perform Houdini - I predict a really cool magic esque type performance with a lot of s--- on stage, kinda like his old performances back in the day. Maybe get someone as a stunt double for Shady, or he will do some tricks like 50 cent did with the wardrobe All of these things will be good promotion, all we are missing is playlisting and radio play.
Jun 2, 2024 Role model is fire but It wouldn't of had the same impact as a first single. My name is is that way by design. It achieved exactly what was intended
Jun 2, 2024 Disagree. lets break it down. Start with the beat. Would you say the TRSS beat is better than Houdini or vice versa? Or would you say they're the same? I'd say most would agree that TRRS beat s----s all over the Houdini beat. Now the hooks. TRSS hook vs Houdini's hook. Which would you say comes across as better. I think we can safely say TRRS hook is way more creative, catchier and just overall better. Plus its 100% original. The lyrics. So lets say Houdini has some good lyrics, bits of wit here and there and some self awareness. Are they better than the lyrics of TRSS? I think most would agree they aren't on par. Same applies to the flow used. Good flow for a 52 year old, but not a patch on prime Eminem. Will any of these opinions change over the coming years and I'll suddenly realise Houdini has a better beat or a better hook than TRSS or WM? I highly doubt it. So I think people are perfectly valid in claiming the older singles are completely superior.
Jun 2, 2024 You seem to be going further and calling the whole song trash though. It's hard to take your criticisms seriously when you praised that mediocre Premonition song recently.
Jun 2, 2024 I actually think the guess who’s back and da da da works better on Houdini - it’s more sonically pleasing than On Without me
Jun 2, 2024 It wasn't supposed to be "sonically pleasing", it was supposed to be obnoxious, and get under his critics' skin like a splinter.
