Relapse Vs Recovery

[Jimmy Conway]

It was different. All Ems about are different. But not in that way. Years had passed and everyone just knew that Em was going to come out talking about the past five years and shitting on rappers. Then he came out with this accent talking all this serial killer shit. It took people awhile to get it. Some never did cause it wasn't some radio friendly shit. That's why the label made him make Recovery instead of Relapse 2 and throw a bunch of shitty artists and mainstream beats on it so more people would be happy.

Won't Back Down's first verse is so bad it's good.

CADDILLACC SEVILES COUPE DEVILLES!!!

I'm ready for CALM BAT MAN
GET IT? COMBAT MAN? NAH
aint no body who's as BAHH MAHH MAP...

I know what you mean.

Some of the punchlines on that track are SO awful and so awfully delivered, like a fucking 3 year old trying to be witty... but he does it with such absolute force and conviction and his flow is so forceful that, yeah, it definitely has that 'so fucking terrible but sure of itself, it's good' kind of quality.

Definitely the worst track on the album for me, Ima listen to Recovery now though actually, as every time I do - I fucking love rapping along, it is a pretty badass listen.

crack a bottle is a good song. i dont get why people hate on it so much.

my opinion on which of these albums is better changes a lot. in the end they are very similar in grade for me, around a 7 or 7.5/10
