    Untouchable is the worst thing to happen to black people since slavery. I would like to sue Eminem for the emotional distress caused by that song. I don’t need a white guy making a song like that for my people. b---- you made foolish pride you do not get to do whatever the f--- that garbage was.

    Live listening to Revival...are you....recycling a sample from a previous album? No wait, you just used a song sample that sounds similar to another song on your last album. Actually you use this rock sound in a lot of songs. Ugh I’m too high for this. What the f--- is this song?

    If we’re talking solely on rapping ability—changing flows, finding pockets, multi-syllable rhyming etc I think Rap God is far superior to anything he’s ever done from a technical standpoint

    s--- is incredible, especially the way he can keep you interested for over 6 minutes. In my top 20 fav Eminem songs of all time tbh

    The third verse of WOW sounds really strong live with the added violins and drums.



    This and Survival are benefited from a live setting.

    I didn’t make it through Revival. I think I tuned out somewhere after some rock-sounding song. I’ll try again another day. It’s just not an engaging album. I don’t know why Eminem is so salty over it. Let it go.

    Man, I just went back and re-listened to encore.....holy f--- that album is bad.

    That was right after peak Eminem, like people were expecting another classic and the songs just absolutely blow . Of course there are a few gems, but that album makes relapse look like a classic, lol.

    Revival is dogshit and encore is nuts and corn in it.

    Proper order...

    Mmlp (due to cultural impact)
    TES
    Sslp
    Kamikaze
    Recovery
    Mmlp2
    Relapse
    Encore
    Revivial

    Encore has some insanely good tracks on it though. Never Enough, Like Toy Soldiers, Encore, Mockingbird. It's way better than MMLP2.

    yeah i know what you mean but IMO it's still better than revival, at least the good songs are an Em in his prime (or just after at least) with dre productions.

    Oh yeah, I agree, it's above revivial. Both are his worst albums by a long shot tho.

    I feel like relapse should be higher. Relistening after kamikaze it should be higher. I don’t know. He’s not giving that album enough credit all of a sudden. Encore is just a pill-laden mess at some points. I used to love it but after kamikaze, relapse now sounds amazingly better. I can’t explain it. Listen to MMLP and follow it with Relapse and then Kamikaze. It’s like...wow. I don’t know. Maybe I was high.

    In my opinion Relapse is one of his best albums, maybe top 4 Em albums. Releapse refill is actually 10/10 as well. I hate how the fans reacted. Now we will never get that Relapse 2 which 50 said had the better songs on in his opinion.

    A top 10 track. Who would've thought that at 46 Em would've just dropped two albums within 9 months of each other. d---!
