Apr 30, 2018 Lol Relapse didn't flop. It sold 608,000 copies in its first week. That isn't a flop. That is quite a great number considering how easy people can leak music nowadays. Relapse released in May of 2009, Recovery released June of 2010.
Apr 30, 2018 I'm waiting for "f--- my last CD, that's s--- in my trash" type of bar and "let's be honest, not in denial - Revival is pile... Of traash"
Apr 30, 2018 Relapse was a flop actually 608k for Em's return album was a disappointment and it tanked his fanbase, had it not been for Recovery relapse 2 would've did like 300k Also 2009 was before the true downfall of album sales, people still did huge numbers back then
Apr 30, 2018 INB4 recovery to be certified 8x platinum or something. It's since middle 2011 that it doesn't get updated, still 3x since then
May 2, 2018 Hats off to you both, you both are dedicated to your respective causes.. no one can ever take that from either of you..
May 3, 2018 Recovery was the beginning of the end for Eminem's artistry. Whatever anybody thinks of Relapse... it was pure. He meant it. And it was what he wanted to make. Recovery was the first time - not that he listened to criticism and reacted to it, as he always did, but that he didn't have an artistic answer for it so instead... followed populist concepts. Got young, buzzy producers, big features and did all the s--- the label has probably been asking him to do forever. Once he did that, no turning back. Revival is the s-----y epitome of the beginning (Recov) of the end (Revival). So sad. Wish he just had the balls to follow his vision through.
May 3, 2018 Where has it been officially confirmed (not a thread here with no source) that Em is on Def Jam?
May 3, 2018 @Big Dangerous isnt a troll tho. He actually believes the complete and utter nonsense that he talks
May 3, 2018 Have you ever thought that may be relapse 'flopping' shifted artistic control from him to his label. I think the label allowed him to do whatever as long as it sells. Relapse 'flopping' took the power away from him. Also people seem to exaggerate Em's control over his music, 'The real slim shady' was made because the label demanded it, in 'The way I am' he also talked about artistic interference.
May 3, 2018 Relapse/Recovery/MMLP2/Shady XV era we’re second prime for him. Revival is a flop, even though I enjoyed the album. His hard trying is very noticeable now.
May 3, 2018 exactly, relapse was the last real eminem album,had an intro, skits, real songs structure,real flows, real hip hop beats ,real hooks/hip hop hooks etc..... add that to the fact that dre started to make banks with beats and em was lost, he had already lost bass bros and now lost dr dre to his beats headphones , he decided to turn to royce da 5 9, biggest mistake of his career.
