Official Thread: The Shady 2.0 - video/audio here

[Manly Moose]

I liked it man, all of them were good.

Em seems to have developed a new confidence too and... it's even more confident than his 'old' confidence as there doesn't seem to be this undertone of self-consciousness, he's sure of himself.

He seems to be still improving lyrically too and I can see how his style could evolve next with little bursts of energy packed rhyme schemes... I hope that he keeps focusing on that aspect and just tries to be mind blowing on his next album. For some reason I just don't feel he's going to do another though.

"So kill the rumors it aint happening, imma rap till I'm fossil feul." -Eminem

I didn't say I think he'll stop rapping.

I can't see another solo album though. He drained the life out of the last childhood material in "My Mom" and whilst I'm sure he still has plenty of stuff from his past he could bring up, I seriously don't think that he will now, he's thinking too progressively...

And... with Recovery, he totally covered everything from the past few years. Between "Deja Vu", "Beautiful" and all of Recovery: his addiction, Proof and all of that - is DONE. Again, I'm sure he could find new angles for it and I can imagine mentions of it, but I don't think he will.

So for the first time I truly do think he is out of life material and I don't think he would just make an album of random verses. He always has some kind of underlying theme to hang it on, even with Relapse, it was the serial-killer vibe. I just don't think he's ballsy enough on a major level to think 'big' like the old Em and try stuff like "Stan" now...

So I just really cannot see another solo album. I think we'll get a final D12 album, then he'll pop up on any Yela albums, any Slaughter albums, any 50 albums... any solo albums from the D12 guys and between all of that and some production and other features, I think that's gonna be his career now.

Think about it, it's late 2011 and apparently the D12 album isn't coming out till late 2012 ffs. I think he'll try to make a bit of a jump into movies possibly, I dunno. For the first time I can't see another solo album though, a Bad Meets Evil album at most I think.

Or he could do what he did on SSLP, and Relapse. Rapping about shit that he doesnt actually do, theres more roles out there than serial killer.

I see EmBase's point, but tbh I really doubt Recovery is his last LP. Maybe we'll have Eminem talking about what's going on outside his life now. Relapse 2 would be great here imo, but who knows.

Great. Vimeo works with Keepvid, so I'm happy.

I also understand EmBase's point, and obviously Em is aware of this but I don't think Recovery is a justifiable closing album to such an illustrious career. I feel like the next project with him on it will be Slim Shady-esque.

He's gotta go back to his roots with a few new dudes like Premier and some Khalil/Havoc.

Those producers plus Dre would equal something magical. Em seems to be the type of person that gets his inspiration from a beat, which is probably why TES is so musically produced.

we need a youtube link

[OMEGA]

Just listened to it. Goddamn, I hope Em sticks to that flow and delivery for his next album / features.

Good shit, man. Thanks.

I seriously doubt Eminem will never make another solo album.

But I do think we'll have to wait at least another year for it yet... perhaps at the end of 2012, if not later.

[B.A.D.]

anybody have an uncensored video link?

[OMEGA]

November 2012 for sure. He's giving all the attention to Slaughterhouse and Yelawolf.

If he does really commit to getting Primo for the next album like he did for Dre on Relapse then I think we can get another concept album. Just like how Relapse was the "serial killer vibe".....then I guess the next album with hopefully Primo would be strictly rapping....

I know you might say that's not exactly a concept. But if he were to make a concept album with Primo FULLY like he did with Dre about actual emceeing then I think it could come out great. I know some people may say that that's too much like Infinite but.....maybe its necessary. Especially because of the fact that I think it is eating at him that he has lost "respect" from "hip hop heads" that didn't like his new direction.

Before anyone gets at me....be perfectly clear I disagree with most of those idiot critics....I'm just stating what others felt and how that may be weighing on Em's mind.

I know it may seem like making a concept album about being an MC isn't really a "concept"....but it may depend on the execution. But with the excellent production that Infinite ...lacked.

Continue with the Relapse similarities and direction by not having any features on a this "concept album" and just make songs like LL's "Rock the Bells", Rakim's "I Ain't No Joke" and "Juice(know the ledge), etc.

I know a lot of people may say they want LESS battle rap and more ART....but maybe the former is necessary in order to win back respect.....even though fans are very fickle and it might not help

Maybe also have a song like "Underground" on there where he is spitting the same tone delivery but...this time he is "killing" Canibus, Pacewon, Game(he called em a pop artist and said he himself is the only rapper left on interscope)

Didn't Game say Recovery was a classic...?
