I too appreciate all you've done for this forum. Your avatar is GOATed in my humble opinion. Anyway brah we've only got like 6-7 more wakeups til TDOSS; let's hope the entire rest of the album is all acapella rapping faster than ever!!!!!!!!! cheah sucka cheahchaecheahhcehahcheahcheahcheahcheah!!!

    How could Revival be your favorite album? This is a pretty unrealistic list.

    Did you read all my lengthy posts in this thread? I have no problem going into details on why it’s my favorite album if you would like, but if you really don’t care I wont waste my time. Music is subjective my man. Simple as that.

    How are ya bud? Always liked you.

    Great question. I did touch on this on a previous lengthy post on this thread. Did you read all that?

    I can go more into detail if you want, but the gist is Relapse was Em having fun and you can totally tell. Em does have fun on MMLP, but also a lot of the hate and anger is real. The angry white boy persona was real. Sure, he won’t go out and do the acts he is saying on the records, but a lot of the things he said at the time were f----- up. I mean on Relapse he was saying all this f----- up s---, but doing it with a dope Arabian accent lmfao. It was a fun concept album after a long hiatus. His flow, cadence, and rhyme schemes are also top notch. Better than MMLP imo. More polished.

    People think because I have MMLP so low that I hate the album or something. I still genuinely enjoy the album and would still rate it around 6/10. I don’t think Em has a bad album per se.

    I just don’t think the sound of the MMLP or early 2000’s era has aged well. It sounds so dated, and the lyrics are not cool or edgy anymore. Dre did his thing, and there are plenty of classics but it ain’t the chronic 2001. I agree that Relapse lyrics also haven’t aged well, but at least they aren’t serious in the slightest. Relapse also is one of the best produced albums of all time imo. Dre killed it, and those beats still sound fresh and unique today.

    It’s all just opinions dawg, and I’m just trying to express mine. Music is subjective and a lot of it was the good times, feelings, and nostalgia we had when these albums released. Maybe Relapse is too high on my list and MMLP is too low. I’ll have to go back soon and relisten to some of these albums.

    They made some great songs in the Recovery era. Not sure they would fit on this album though

    I will never get tired of your obsession with me. Honestly cracks me up. Your whole personality is trying to be me, JMG and MSolo, but even after 1000 alts you still couldn't even get that right. Please never change that avy lol

    WatLOL. This guy's narcissism is out of control. Definitely eats his own c-m.
    This couldn't be a more transparent attempt at reverse psychology. So mad lmao. Or should I say embarrassingly hysterical :'(

    Dude I absolutely hate Worm. Actually hate is the wrong word; that implies I care about him which I don’t. He uses the same old tired jokes. Just ignore him, then once he sees no one responds or cares, he disappears.

    He tries so hard to fit in with the legends of this forum like JMG, M Solo, DKC, Ricky, etc, and I. I know it eats him alive knowing he isn’t considered a top dawg with the elites and that no one actually like him or cares about his opinion.

    Top 5 members for me would be Koolo, SlamboS, Worm, M Solo & joeyp363

    cheahcheahcheah #InOtherUselessNews thank you again Koolo for all you've done cheah


    *edit* shoutout to Rev tho! #RanDumb In early 2006, during the 1 year SlamboS and I were college roommates, one random day o.g. Rev out-of-the-the blue hit up SlamboS (whom he'd never met before; had just known him from o.g. d12world message board) for help with the birthing of his first son.. Can't remember exactly, but recall Rev just wanted SlamboS to bring a camera to take a polaroid pic of his newborn son! cheah love to Afeni Shakur!! I actually still got that pic as a framed magnet on my burner basement fridge (next to Dre he's locked up). SlamboS showed out that day (by responding impromptu lol "ya had to be there (as his roommate)"

    Well look what The Stork brung!!!!!!!!! Our buddy Rev's, new-born, son!!!! I still have the pic if anyone wants proof... Man I hope Rev is doing well these days cheahhcehahcheahcheahchceahchehachehacheah!!!!!!!!!!!

    Fair point. Which producers do you want to hear on this album besides Em himself and Rick Rubin?

    I don’t necessarily want Rick Rubin on this album. I think what they did together was great, but not sure I could see a rock sample fitting into the concept of this album. However, if they worked together on a non rock sample beat that would be dope. I wouldn’t be opposed to a bonus track of a rock sampled beat.

    I would like to see alchemist, Dre, Mustard, Se7en, Stoupe, Czarkeys, daringer, Ali, and Eminem himself. We probably won’t see any of these guys but would be dope.
