Apr 28, 2024 First, it’s certainly close enough to be an iteration on the original theme. More importantly, we all know that Eminem’s “concept albums” are relatively loose in terms of coherence and conformity to the theme. Off the top of my head, Gnat, Guns Blazing, and Higher all fall well outside the Hitchcock-esque MTBMB theme.
Apr 28, 2024 Incredible numbers from the biggest gangsta in the music industry… BTW, anyone get an Amber Alert for Kendrick?
Apr 28, 2024 Yeah, could be similar to that. Although I would’ve expected to see at least a couple of tracks cut from the project on Curtain Call 2 or something. My instinct tells me it’s at least in part tied to Dre pushing back the project he planned to release sometime after the Halftime Show. Hopefully Zane or someone asks him this question at some point.
Apr 28, 2024 I might ask him about his past relationships with women again, so this forum can have a bit of peace while he deflects and calls me a virgin or something. When I made fun of him for his WONK WONK shtick, he stopped doing it and the guy has never been the same
Apr 28, 2024 I agree. And from just the title alone of this next album it seems like it’s a true concept album. More than any of his other albums including relapse. This is why I’m kinda nervous how this all plays out. I’d be shocked if he followed through keeping tight to the concept. Or will it just be another list of hopefully good songs with not much linkage to the title.
Apr 28, 2024 I wouldn’t mind another song like Favorite b---- except with The Weeknd instead of Ty Dolla $ign
Apr 28, 2024 This is what I’m hoping for, but he seems to have trouble sticking to concepts. He has been getting better though so maybe he’ll do this correctly. Right now I’m cautiously optimistic
Apr 28, 2024 i’m thinking more along the lines of …”was it benzino …no no …!!” with a lot of song going through the beef over the years ….and maybe responding to most notable disses in the last few years ….and in the end a song …eminem vs slim shady and marshall saying “He killed slim” …but in more of a melancholic way …
Apr 28, 2024 what if the first song of The album is like guilty Conscience Ft. Dre. where Slim is saying outlandish lyrics and pushing Em to be that persona. And Dre is telling Em not to listen and be more mature. Then the song ends with Shady saying f--- it and it leads into the next song that’s the title track Single. I’m having a strong feeling the Single will be more like The real Slim Shady & Without Me sonically
