    Rap Devil, which is a full blown music video, has 230 million YouTube views. Killshot, which is audio only, has 279 million views. And Rap Devil came out a couple weeks before Killshot.

    Not sure why were debating if rap devil is better than Killshot though. It’s a moot point. Eminem already won the battle as soon as he dropped Not Alike.

    Absolute classic Em.. as others said, some of his best verses of all time are on this album. He's so full of anger and protest its fantastic.

    I make music to make you sick of fake music
    Hate music like devil-worshipping Satan music
    So say your prayers, your 'Hail Mary's and Jesuses
    Take two sticks, tape 'em together and make a crucifix
    Try to stop it but you can't do it (haha)
    A whole generation of kids blowing out their f---ing brains to this
    Kurt Cobain music. Students converted to 'caine users
    As soon as they heard it went out and murdered and maimed to it
    What's your name?
    Judas!


    I've been praised and labeled as crazed
    My mother was unable to raise me, full of crazy rage
    An angry teenager, nothing can change me back
    Gangsta rap made me act like a maniac
    I was boosting, so influenced by music I used it
    As an excuse to do s---, ooh I was stupid
    No one can tell me nothing hip-hop overwhelmed me
    To the point where it had me in a whole 'nother realm
    It was like isolating myself was healthy
    It felt like we was on welfare but wealthy
    Compelled me to excel when school had failed me
    Expelled me and when the principal would tell me
    I was nothing, and I wouldn't amount to s---
    I made my first million and counted it
    Now look at, a f---ing drop-out that quit
    Stupid as s---, rich as f---, and proud of it

    Finally...

    I'm the devil, if ever there was such a thing
    The results of much too many drugs what you're seeing
    I'm a mindfuck, completely dis-(gu-uh-uh)-sting
    I'm (what) a human mutt f--- a being
    I'm a dog, f--- lambs, I'm silencing 'em all
    I'm involved in murders forensic science couldn't solve
    Giant set of balls too big to buy a set of drawers
    Might as well unzip my fly and let 'em fall to the floor
    Each thought's completely warped
    I'm like a walking, talking Ouija board
    Speaking in tongues, I've never spoke this speech before
    Hhem-delle-la, ennich-me-noughh-mi-niche-mick-norrf

    Undeniably a classic album

    It's one of those projects where you can just let it play front to back without skipping a song, for me anyway.

    Take them Em verses and make a solo album = classic.
    This was EM in his PRIME! The same year he dropped Renegade verse.

    This was peak Em. Production was insane too.

    "Compelled me to excel when school had failed me
    Expelled me and when the principal would tell me
    I was nothing, and I wouldn't amount to s---
    I made my first million and counted it

    This is going to be a thread that requires a little thinking and digging. Eminem’s albums are thoroughly produced and are very detailed. But sometimes there are errors and inconsistencies that can be made. It’s very subtle things, but it does bother my ear a bit. Here are some examples:

    In a Love Game, the notification sound is from pre-iOS7 era, but it was already post-iOS7 era album release

    In So Far, Eminem said “iPod, wtf is that”, although almost no one was buying iPods anymore. It was an iPhone era for a while then

    We all know infamous Difficult track. It’s a great track with one major mistake. Eminem said melatonin instead melanin. It’s completely unrelated things.

    In Kamikaze, Eminem says Fack 2017. It was the second half of 2018 when the album came out. A little outdated.

    Any other inconsistencies or errors you guys noticed?

    Also, Goodbye Hollywood and Space Bound have exact same sirens. I always wondered why there were sirens and whether there’s any significance to it.

    Good thread, but the reason he says ”fack 2017” is because he means f--- 2017, cause it was a bad year because of Revival. Not that it was ”2017 version of Fack”

    However i had the same initial thought until i got it

    Em was saying fack to 2017, not the 2017 version of Fack.

    He killed himself on Encore outro, so Relapse etc shouldn't even happen

    Or

    It's a proof this is not real Eminem.

    Clone confirmed.
