    Yeah but an album full of Em solo songs is more appealing to me.

    Rarely do I listen to a D12 song all the way through

    Deja Vu is great & without a doubt the best song he's made since his come back but Relapse is what? A 20 track album d--- near lol.... 1 song isn't going to save that atrocity & while it can be argued that Encores low points are lower than Relapses, almost half of Encore is at least bareable, that's more than I can say for Relapse.

    Big Weenie and Rain Man were awful, but Encore had classics like Toy Soldiers, Spend Some Time, and Mockingbird. Relapse had no classic songs, although I really enjoyed Same Song & Dance, Stay Wide Awake, and Beautiful. Deja Vu was very overrated to me. I prefer Going Through Changes by light years.

    Sorry for overreacting m8, I just hate that terminology

    I always think about how some people might take that stuff seriously

    :whoa:

    I've said it before, Encore had Toy Soldiers, Mockingbird, Spend Some Time, Yellow Brick Road, Encore, We As Americans, Love You More. Even Mosh is good.

    Toy Soldiers and Mocking Bird are amongst Eminem's greatest songs.

    To me the only stand out tracks on Relapse are Deja Vu and Beautiful. My Darling and Careful What You Wish For counting the bonus tracks.

    Also gotta say H:TS gets alot of unfair hate. That album was the last we saw of 2010/Recovery era Em, unfortunately.

    But I'm not arguing with just 1 song, there are a lot of other tracks on the album I can argue with that's better than 90% over Encore.

    Must be the ganja, Beautiful, Stay Wide Awake, My Darling, Music Box, Hello, Same Song & Dance > Over Like Toy Soldiers, Love You More, We As Americans & basically anything else that's considered 'good to great' on Encore.

    It's all good.

    Music Box was on Refill not the original Relapse album. Anyway, Must Be the Ganja was sub par/forgettable outside of his 2nd verse, Beautiful is good but not great, Stay Wide Awake is bad, terrible accent, forced multi's, sloppy song writing, Hello is forgettable & pretty much textbook definition of a filler track, Same Song & Dance has a good concept for the serial killer theme but bad execution. Again, accent is unbearable, his writing is sloppy & the only redeeming quality is the beat which is incredible & deserves to be done some justice.

    Please explain to me how some of those s--- songs you just named are better than f---in Toy Soldiers or Mocking Bird?

    The k--- yourself comment would be very appropriate for me to use in this situation.

    Love You more and We as Americans are not on Encore itself but they s--- all over every relapse song except deja vu. My mom comes close tho (and Elevator maybe if we include refill)

    Still can't believe it.

    Same Song And Dance and Must Be The Ganja better than Toy Soldiers

    What's next, We Made You > Lose Yourself?

    Never said they were his best songs. I said they were among his best songs. I can easily see them in the top 20.

    The same can't be said about any of the songs on that garbage album Relapse.
