    The accent was pretty, out there, for me. Removing the accents from 90% of the album doesn't stop the album from being an awkward horror-core project full of murder, r---, and drugs-- which is just as offputting as the accent itself on the album for me.

    That being said, it worked for a few tracks too-- Same Song & Dance and Stay Wide Awake had excellent use of the accent.

    In reality, Eminem should not have had an album of this sound and content as a comeback album. It blows my mind, tbh. He should've had more songs like Careful What You Wish For, both in sound and more importantly, in content.

    Not sure I understand the Say Goodbye To Hollywood comparison but indeed it would have been much better song without the accents.

    Have you guys noticed that many of Eminem's verses in 1999 and on the SSLP were originally freestyles?

    No, they were originally pre-writtens and were either already worked into unreleased songs or put into songs that were released later on...

    Or are you saying they were 'freestyles' as in he used them on radio shows and stuff like that?

    Not entirely sure why that is the case tbh.

    That's also how the first two verses of No Apologies was put out originally, as one of those 'freestyles'

    Yeah I don't know either

    Most of his wake up show freestyles from '98 are verses from later released songs

    I'm a Relapse fan, to me, the accent gives the album a creepy vibe that a lot of songs like Buffalo Bill focused on. There were a few without the accent to like Beautiful and Deja Vu that gave you the old sense too. A good comeback album, maybe not, but I really enjoy it.

    Why the f--- does Em still have blonde hair, n----- nearly 43 and still thinks it's acceptable. Fair enough for MMLP2 promotion but d---, he needs to change.
