Framed to Need Me easily the worst 5 song stretch on any Em album. He cuts those and this album would be a tad more palatable.

Redeemable songs: Believe, Bad Husband, Castle, Arose

It sounds like the raspy drugged encore voice with a recovery beat

 

Dec 14, 2017

Sounds so similar it's eeary haha

 

Dec 14, 2017

Yeah I gotta agree with the old song rumor. The delivery and references dont sound like s--- he'd do now. Somethings not right

Tragic endings is a highlight. Cuz its a recovery leftover so his flow is the best on the album

Metro not tryna work with this trash a--- n-----.

No matter how you look at this album it is a train wreck. Just a disaster. Complete mess.

 

Dec 14, 2017

But the quality on the voice is horrible tho

I haven't listened yet but after reading the criticisms it is obvious why the album ended up the way it did. I had a feeling it would be all over the place. It is because of Em's personality, his team, and the "fans" of his. He constantly wants to be liked and s---. He lives off that fame and attention. He just wants to be respected but that clashes with him selling like crazy and winning lots of awards. He pleased everyone in the beginning and the few who weren't didn't voice their opinion because the internet wasn't popping. His team has done a s-----y job at making him realize he doesn't need to cater to EVERY f---ing PERSON to be revered. He always talks about making an album with this type of song and that type of song. His team should've directed him to making music for his core fan base and maybe some others only a little bit. Instead, he feels the need to have every little thing on each album now a days to please everyone but it ends up looking messy. His fans criticizing every single thing he does doesn't help either. So many people only focus on what they hate because that is the world now a days. They feel like spending their time tearing someone else apart makes them feel better. Instead of moving on with life and not hating on someone they know barely anything about they feel the need to hate on him. All in all it is sad to see him struggle because the n----- wants nothing but to please his fans with dope music.

So anyone else pick up on this, I think Castle samples Stairway to heaven by Led Zeppelin

 

Dec 14, 2017

Dec 14, 2017

Man this album had some of the worst sounding songs ever. What kind of production was This? Em who is supposed to be a true hip hop artist using the most poppiest beats and songs

With that said...

He showed flashes of greatness still

Final 2 tracks were fire
"Framed" I loved the Relapse vibe
"Tragic Endings" loved the Recovery, BME style
Last verse of "Offended" was crazy but the hook is the shittiest hook possible

Was hoping he was done with that low vocal tone delivery

Very bad album from Em, feel bad for him after hearing the final 2 songs. He doesn't seem to be in a good place in his life but he still has the skill to make great music, just needs the right production team behind him and to get his delivery back to where it was on "Castle" and "Tragic Endings" and tiny pieces of other songs

But a beautiful mess.

Scrap the worst 4 songs from this album (your choice) and replace them with some combination of Fine Line, Kings Never Die, phenomenal, guts over fear, die alone and this would be Em's best solo album since TES

 

Dec 14, 2017

Second line of hook is so dumb

First line says a lord and a liar

Second shoulda been real and an imposter

To keep the good bad/ good bad. And try to rhyme

But hey

 

Dec 14, 2017

Already is Ems best album since TEs

 

Dec 14, 2017

ummm...no not even close

Framed is 100% relapse leftover they used cuz he had ivanka line on it

God what a traaaaash hook
