    Marsh Rosi Season Coming

    Idk, this is the same thing as always. If he doesn't want to drop it, he won't. At least he gave us another accents song.

    I think it is more of a labelthing. Like ”as long as Em is making new music, dont release any old music”

    Well, he has said he doesn't like Relapse because of the overdose of accents he had. Casuals would also think the album is new.

    As I got older, "I Get Money" became my favorite 50 Cent single or club song, even over "In Da Club."

    Edit: Just realized this was the Eminem section. I would say "a--- Like That" grew on me from being straight trash when I first heard it to actually being semi-enjoyable as a song.

    I didn't like Venom at first cause it reminded me of Phenomenaaaal, but it ended growing on me. I just love the beat and his normal voice and calm flow.

    I was so disappointed when Relpase dropped , I hated the sound Em chose. I was expecting something like TES.
    But over time it became one of my favorite Em records.

    You definitely have a point, when it comes to appreciating the songs you listened to less, because the novelty of the others wore off, I've thought about that before, just can't remember specific songs, that might be part of why I gained a better appreciation for I'm back and who knew.

    Yeah it's in Eminem section, but it's cool if you wanna talk about other artists and songs too, the idea is still there.

    We made you is actually a great song. People find it cool to hate, but the beat, the hook, the rhymes everything is awesome. Great single. Shame it's the last of the classic eminem lead singles

    I voted Recovery because I think the content has more substance, and when the album came out, its more along the of the type of stuff I wanted to hear him rap about. My favorites are usually when he's getting personal, and giving and introspective view, or being motivational, and inspiring. It depends on how im feeling in the moment tho, if I'm not being too serious, or jus wanna have some fun listening, I'll take Relapse, the beats are knockin, and the accent and serial killer s--- isn't redundant when ur jus listening to a few tracks here and there, and not the full album at once.

    Relapse aged surprisingly well, absolutely no desire to ever listen to Recovery again

    Relapse is perfection.

    Recovery should've never existed.

    I vote relapse because until side b came out, em's albums just didn't hit the same.

    I dont care what Em thinks, the label can put it out after his death. I also think Em can change his mind now that Relapse is loved among most fans again. Did Em really hate the album? Or did he just say he did cause people didnt like it back then?

    Where I'm At is from 2010, and it was just ok. Em was talking bout toilets flushing and s--- lol

    Banks (or G-Unit) should have been on Relapse.

    He had more than enough songs to make it a stand alone album. It could have been called Music To Be Buried By. It doesn't even sound that much like Side A. I think Side B is actually better. Eminem has never released a deluxe album with 16 tracks, has he?

    Most have around 3 to 5 songs. There was Refill. Refill had 9 songs. But Refill didn't come out nearly a year later like MTBMB Side B did. Side B was literally like an album. And he recorded most of them well after MTBMB came out.

    Maybe Marshall missed out on a financial opportunity. By making it a Side B, it probably sold less. Albums sell better than deluxe extension albums.
