    Uh?? Doing his own hooks? Have a direction and theme? Going all the way as to make skits?? Meaningful production?? Not being a sellout?

    Relapse is a million times more artistic than recovery, and ugh revival is just a poor attempt at music nothing to say there

    I don't even like relapse. But to say recovery or revival is more artistic than relapse is delusional

    There's nothing wrong with them but the fact that he watched them for inspiration on Relapse watered down the essence of Slim Shady. It just comes off as cringy in retrospect

    The entire skit leading into so much as his style and voice he chose on that track is more artistic than all of revival and 80% of recovery alone

    Relapse was the last time Em felt like a real artistic who wanted to accomplish something

    All of those things are on all three albums. Tell me a song on Relapse that's artistic or gripping in any way besides Deja Vu

    Didn't know he did that lol but what does watching horror movies turn into talking about pissing on hannah montana

    Despite everthing relapse still feels more like an eminem album than anything after

    For a whole album, yeah. Later on he just did that on several songs.

    But I can't say enough how much of a GOAT Dre is for creating like 18 amazing beats for it

    How many people you know
    Who can name every serial killer who ever existed in a row?
    Put em in chronological order, beginning with Jack the Ripper
    Name the time and place; from the body, the bag, the zipper
    Location of the woods
    Where the body was dragged and then dumped
    The trunk that they were stuffed in, the model, the make, the plate
    And which model, which lake they found her in
    How they attacked the victim
    Say which murder weapon was used to do what in which one
    Which knife and which gun, what kid,what wife, and which nun
    Don't stop, I like this, it's fun, the f---ing night's just begun

    :hard:

    Recovery is not artistic it's just a generic pop rap record

    Revival is like barely even music it's so s---

    Relapse had a theme a sound a thought of conception throughout with dope beats

    Nah revival is overhated for a good reason(almost every song is trash)

    Encore and Relapse are actually albums that don't deserve all the hate(both albums had legit 5-6 good songs).

    Overhated only because he was given so many chances.

    It’s bad in a different way than Encore. Encore has lower points more often for sure (none lower than Remind Me, though), but also more redeemable qualities and a more cohesive sound.

    Relapse is a much better album than Revival, though. And I don’t care for Relapse much at all.

    Relapse actually had a vision so you’re right.

    Having dope Dre beats and a horrorcore concept doesnt make an album artistic

    Isn’t “Art” just a diverce range of human activities in creating visual, auditory or performing, expressing the author's imagination?

    You can’t tell Em what Art is. You make what you love.
