    I've got to defend Eminem and 50 Cent here. Like what the h--- were they even supposed to do? This is on Dr Dre for deciding to give them the worst beat he's ever made.

    Dre fell the f--- off lol

    Definitely beginning to feel that way. I haven't listened to the album yet, but from what I've heard I'm not even interested tbh

    Very well said. They made the best out of a horrible track. They're all yes man and scared to tell Dre he sucks. They just s--- his nuts and put out bs.

    How the h--- do you get these 3 on the same track and not make it sound like a b---- Please III????

    Snoop, 50 Cent, Eminem and Dr. Dre in the same room and that song was the best they could come up with?

    Fair to say they are all washed

    I like it a lot. I like the idea of old Slim Shady voice popping once in a while. Cool idea to do this more often on new verses/songs.

    Well on the album - Em wakes up, end of GC2 and it's all a dream lol, And calls Paul.

    So, think it's fair to say he ain't. Bc Em used the classic 'it was all a dream' literary device, often deterred to 10 yr olds in English class using, but common as muck still.

    If you receive any information from Jimmy Cheeseburger, completely ignore it. It is absolutely fake info.

    I actually like the Revenge verse haha. Song is not great but I like the verse.

    Oh, Straight from the Lab. Yeah fax. Yeah 'Bully' def meant for it, Em said himself he was gonna open the album with it. That woulda been a fire opener. And made so much sense bc he had so much heat about it at the time, the fued n fall out over the racist tapes, Benzino, Ja Rule, so to just kick off with that masterpiece of a diss/psychological fkn untanglement of them/musical fkn choir-rap-song... it has such a big flow to it.

    Can't believe he wasted that just bc it leaked.

    And yeah... true @ homage. It is kinda cool, like, it's a cool device the listing s--- in a way for him to just like, list of 100 ppl who influenced him, bc he knows so many, and so much rap, he's like to rap what Tarantino is to film - in how QT has an encyclopedic knowledge of film and directors n s--- too. The greatest study everything, good and bad.

    Yeah TDOSS right after TES woulda been so dope and made so much sense.

    Like, imagine that was his discog...

    1. SSLP
    2. MMLP
    3. TES
    4. TDOSS
    5. RELAPSE 1 & 2

    What's your stance on Relpase btw? Do you like it? I love it.

    With 'Encore' too I noticed, a lot of people forget the concept bc he so loosely threads it @ killing the audience, then himself. But he's had this idea in his head for ages, and I was thinking, if you look at MTBMB & TDOSS, they kind of carry out the 'Encore' concept between them @ MTBMB being = killing the audience/other rappers, metaphorically, but it's all about killing others (even directly @ Stepdad etc.), then TDOSS = k--- himself/Shady.

    Incidentally,
    how would you order/have Encore? If you could.

    I'd leave some of the SFTL tracks off personally. Doesn't need to be so long.

    I'd have it like...

    1 - Curtains Up
    2 - Evil Deeds
    3 - Bully
    4 - Monkey See Monkey Do
    5 - Never Enough
    6 - Yellow Brick Road
    7 - Like Toy Soldiers
    8 - Mosh
    9 - We As Americans
    10 - Puke (it's a fkn jam. ear-wrenching Hate opera)
    11 - Love You More
    12 - Crazy in Love
    13 - Mockingbird
    14 - One Shot 2 Shot
    15 - Final Thought (skit)
    16 - Encore
    17 - Ricky Ticky Toc

    I know that's still 3 love songs but... Love You More & Crazy in Love I think are genuinely good songs, music, and add to the album, and compliment 'Puke' well, so that's like a little segment of romance/woman hate, followed/contrasted with love for Hailie, so it's a nice flip, then I'd have to keep one shot 2 shot just for the concept tie-in...

    Then Encore almost perfect final track, but lil touch of Ricky Tick and what he says as the final line is just perfect actual closing lines.

    And I know some say not to batch 'themes' of songs together, but I think it works quite well that way most of the time. Cause with the above order, you have like... lil personal s---/disses batched together with Evil Deeds-Like Toy Soldiers, then political s--- with Mosh & We As Americans, then Puke-Mockingbird = lil woman-hate+hailie love segment (which is what he did on 97 bonnie & clyde @ showed his hate for Kim + love for Hailie at once, he said, he's forever contrasting these two things) > then ends off with a few conceptual and thematic tie-ins to wrap it up.

    I wouldn't give any version of Encore a 10/10 as you said, bc the caliber of rapping and song concepts and music still is a drop from previous I think, but, I'd give the above version like a 7.5-8/10. Gotta slap a 5 on the version he gave us though.
