    Disorderly Progress What's cookin?

    He doesn't just talk about death on 'Somebody Save Me', he's writing as if dead. Like actually dead.

    Shoulda made that song creepier and more obvious sonically to that, woulda been mad effective.

    With the whole... him calling Paul dream s---, I jus listened again and Paul says 'f--- you' and hangs up and Em laughs. I think that's Em signifying he was like, winding Paul up with the 'it was all a dream' acting s--- bc then suddenly his like panicking sounds fake, in that very moment, like he's just being evil / f---ing with Paul, aka Slim Shady isn't really dead, or, they're the same and he's just winding Paul up either way but he def meant something there; otherwise why would Paul hang up and Em laughs.

    I really disliked “Brand New Dance” a lot on the first few listens buts it’s grown on me.

    the beat was absolutely terrible, now I can’t get it out of my head, especially the end of the track.

    the horse noise, is just devastating. I can only imagine what Christopher Reeves reaction would have been to hearing that and seeing an inevitable video to it.

    I don't have anything to compare it to.
    Can anyone tell me how his other albums did in the first week?
    Or Drake's or Kendrick's?

    After a few days...

    Fav songs

    GC2/Fuel
    Lucipher/Renaissance
    Evil
    Brand New Dance
    Antichrist
    Head Honcho- Em verse
    Houdini
    Temporary
    Tobey

    I can do without Somebody Save Me and Road Rage.

    I wish Trouble was way longer. It seems like a form of GC2 but I kinda wish there was more back and forth throughout the album

    And call The Slim Shady LP the greatest
    The Marshall Mathers was a classic,
    The Eminem Show was fantastic
    But Encore just didn’t have the caliber to match it
    …. How Curtain Call 3 will open up with this sample leading into

    And Paul, blame Relapse for the accents
    Recovery helped me progress and reinvent
    MMLP 2 was my Recrudescent
    But Revival was a turd, that was poorly mixed
    Kamikaze words still stir up s---
    Had Mumble rappers pissed worse then Fergie did
    Well, if I am the reason music murders kids
    Coloumbine should give me a certification
    You’ll be a Stan after graduation
    Till Shady’s assassination
    If I dido,
    Dre is the instrumental
    So Bye, Hoe
    My name was Marshall
    *Record Scratch*

    s---, why is this album not doing better than Kamikaze?
    Very weird. Considering this one had promo, videos, and it's actually a very good album.

    Kami was a lightning in a bottle situation, the whiplash from people clowning in Revival to him rapping crazy again this time on trap beats mixed with the shock of a first time surprise release and him dissing people for the first time in years. I believe sales were also counted different a few years back but idk what the rule changes were so idk if it effected Kami at all.

    I love this album. It's growing on me immensely.

    It doesn't matter to me how much it "sells" (that said, it's still interesting to see how it stacks up "selling" compared to others these days)

    But Em himself doesn't care how much it "sells." He just wants respect. I love that about him; it's perhaps his most endearing quality to me as a fan.

    Through my own eyes, Em nailed it. He did what I've been hoping he'd do post-Recovery.

    Atta boy!!!!!! cheahcheahcheahcheacheahhcheahcheahhcheah
