    I mean it sounds good, the way thug uses his voice sounds good, his flow has lots of variety. its extremely ambient together with the production

    It's true. Eminem is bad at EVERY aspect.

    Flow/delivery: terrible, chopped shouting whispering bs
    Lyrics/content: Terrible, meaningless
    Beat selection: bad, generic as f---
    Hooks: corny, generic

    I'll always have love for him for the old times tho. He introduced me to hip hop.

    That's probably the most accurate review I've ever read about anything.

    Oh and, what's the chances Eminem will k--- himself after reading this? i'd say there's a good chance of it.

    Isn't Pitchfork's thing "it's not good unless you don't get it"?

    Eminem's music has been unrelievedly awful now for a full decade. The tenor and quality of that awfulness have varied slightly—2004's Encore was awful in an embarrassed, shrugging, transparent way

    its like a sxn80 pissed off member wrote it..
    underlined is for the rich vocabulary lol

    I remember reading this review when ShadyXV was released and I couldn't agree more. Eminem really only does 2 kinds of songs. They either have dazzling wordplay that essentially add up to nothing, because the music itself is so unappealing to the ear, or they take a serious note, except he really has nothing to talk about, so instead we're hit with terrible cliches, and a choppy flow.

    Since the release of Relapse, he's been all over the place, desperately trying to satisfy his fans, which is something he never had to do before, and has led to him sounding uncomfortable with everything he does.

    I'll admit, Eminem has a gift for stringing words together. Technically, he's always been incredible, but there is more to music than just that. His beat choices are atrocious. His flow is horrible. He's lost his wit. And he has nothing interesting to say anymore.

    You can see the direction he's going in now with The Hills Remix and that new Skylar song, but it sounds SOO manufactured.

    Although I hated it, I'm starting to wish he just continued with the Relapse s---, because at least he sounded comfortable and wasn't rapping over abysmal rock instrumentals with obnoxious hooks.

    Spatula Relapse is a masterpiece

    This has only been going on since MMLP2. Relapse and Recovery are great, and he'll certainly change his current style for the new solo album, so there's really nothing to do but wait and see.

    There's no information, it might be, or it might not
    either way i hope that at least the last album would be a positive surprise
