    I don’t understand why he almost never utilizes The Alchemist??? He’s a f---ing beast of a producer and close with Em and yet he has almost nothing with him. Imagine if Eminem had a project where majority of songs are produced by The Alchemist kinda like Dr Dre and his entourage produced almost all of Relapse. f---. He also never works with DJ Premier either.

    Relapse has always been my favorite, even above his first three, though I recognize it's not technically as good as those albums.

    It's basically the final, evanescing parts of the old Em, just before he made Recovery and changed himself for good, as much as he may have tried to "go back to the past" in various ways on MMLP2 and Kamikaze. Relapse is basically a perfect storm to me, with a great concept that Em actually executes with conviction, unlike the half-trying half-not approach with Encore and the unfocused horrorcore/murder themes of MTBMB, and a cohesive sound thanks to all Dre beats (when Dre still sounded like himself) and Em not changing his flow all the time.

    Em actually still sounded dope. He said s--- like "Ain't he raw? Yeah, maniac, that Shady, dawg. Man that MFer's gangsta, ain't he dawg?" Not a particularly clever line, but it's absolute fire to me because he's saying it ironically and still radiates confidence. Those have always been my favorite kinds of Em lines, the ones where he just sounds vicious or confident in his delivery because he knows the line is good. That's what MAKES it good. Other examples of this are on Vegas when he says "Bet you if you give this old dog these new tricks to get familiar with I'll learn extra quick. Kick a pregnant b----, oops, I guess the s--- took an unexpected twist like the neck of the freaking exorcist," and on Lord Above when he says "You sent me that plaque with his rhyme sheet, I haven't forgot. Blow 30 million in a month, call it Brewster's Millions." I don't know if anyone knows what I mean by this, but just perfect delivery to me, and I find that kind of thing on Relapse more than any album since.

    The accent is fine, adds to the experience to me. The s--- about him being molested as a kid is a bit weird, but the stuff about him raping and killing women is only as off-putting as it's meant to be. There are occasional moments on the album where the drug-addled fantasy falls away, like the second verse of 3 AM where Em talks about what he's REALLY been doing the last couple of years - sitting on the couch all day, finding a woman on the TV to jerk off to and c-mming on the wall. That s---'s among the most disturbing stuff on the album to me, for how real it is. Only Eminem could pull this off, and he probably couldn't today.

    So, essentially, not as good as the first three, but I always rank it as number one on my list anyway. Unlike any other album.

    Yeah, it's also my take that it was hated mostly, because it wasn't TES 2.0.

    That's weird of him posting 3am out of all the performances. He may be teasing stuff.

    Porter knows. Fans have probably been in his mentions asking about Relapse 2 since the Relapse 11 tweet

    Well, a slew of s--- albums will do that too people. Mmlp2 and revival and music to murdered by have to be some of the worst hip hop albums to ever drop. Especially considering the artist stature. So, yeah relapse seems ok in comparison. Same thing with Encore. That album was shredded when it came out. Yet somehow, nothing he has released since then has been better than Encore.

    You can't possibly believe that. f--- off.

    It's like you lost all objectivity and just decided to hate everything he puts out.

    Deja Vu, Fall and GOF ate all classic songs and reminiscent of old Eminem. Tell me how I hate everything he puts out though.
