Do any songs on Recovery come close to "Stay Wide Awake"

[Jaz]

Stay wide awake is incredibly written song, one of Em`s best. Serial killer theme gave Em freedom to write what ever he wants. He can not do that in type of songs we have on Recovery. Relapse is skill, playing wih words and showing his talent and brilliance. Recovery is that too, but with some real stuff.

Yes he can, and he has before.. People need to stop making excuses for him.

[Evan C.]

I just listened to Stay Wide Awake in my car..


Almost everything on Recovery completely destroys this song. The accent just ruins everything. It's not even close.

Yeah...you know because Not Afraid is soooo emotional..."Fuck the world feed it beans it's gassed up if it thinks is stoppin' me"


....If only Deja Vu had more geniuz emotional linez like dat.

[MikeNUFC]

It's incredible how, in the space of a year, he went from making something of the quality of Deja Vu, to something as terrible as Not Afraid, in terms of his writing.

Are you serious? Not Afraid isn't written poorly at all. Deja Vu might be written nicely, but he put no emotion into the song, using his annoying Relapse voice. I can't even listen to that song.

Not Afraid > Deja Vu

LOL Not Afraid is a corny, cliched concept with Em rapping shitty metaphors over a terrible beat with a boring chorus and hook.

"Fuck the world, feed it beans, it's gassed up"

"Quit playin' with the scissors and shit and cut the crap"

"Haters can make like bees with no stingers and drop dead"

Genius lines there, Em.

Deja Vu has a world class flow, is incredibly written, isn't corny at all, is honest and has a great beat and hook. His delivery is flat deliberately to convey how he was feeling at the time.

[HereHere]

Not Afraid was good for a first single, that was it's purpose. I'll admit I skip it now when I listen to the album.

It's amazing though that he went from making awful songs like Old Times Sake, Crack a Bottle and Bagpipes from Baghdad to songs like Almost Famous, CWB and Going Through Changes in around a year.

AmIdoinitright?!?

[slimsoxshady]

Not Afraid hook is still my favorite on the whole album

[da r star]

Yes, and in Not Afraid he uses is angry-kinda-about-to-crack-drugged voice that is way much cooler

But it is FACT that grade school student's learn COMPOUND WORDS. Otherwise known as MULTI'S. I stated that

Going in my signature.

bahahahaha dude writes mad paragraphs trying to explain how kids can even do multis, and he doesn't even know what they are.

alright have it your way sir...

Because we all know that you know everything about rap. You are the rap-genius and when someone has an opinion that differs from your their automatically wrong.

[Mxracer6y]

And it's completely true.

People don't care about what the artist is saying any more, they just want a beat they can shake to and a name they recognize.. and that's a mistake as listeners.

Edit: Not to say Stay Wide Awake should be treated as some god-like song. Just general statements here.

I take everything as a hole in a song. For example, I'd rather take a song that had great content, great flow, great rhyming...blablabla than one that had iffy content, but amazing rhyming (not to mention that abortion that was the accent).

Definitions of abortion on the Web:

* termination of pregnancy
* miscarriage: failure of a plan

huh? what? that makes no sense? did you mean abomination?

[Jaz]

Alright sir, we aren't talking about opinions sir, we are talking about the definition of multis, SIR.

A lot of songs sound good just because of the way a rapper's voice fits a beat, that doesn't make it a good song.. That might make people want to listen, but that doesn't make it a good song at all.

Most rappers sacrifice lyricism to keep things simple and just ride a beat with elementary rhymes.. Em doesn't even do that on Recovery, but my point is that people thinking the lyrics don't matter are the reason artist's assume they can get away with it, and they are right.

Alright sir, we aren't talking about opinions sir, we are talking about the definition of multis, SIR.

Multi - Rhyming one multi sylobic word with another. In this case, in bar form with flow.

[Mxracer6y]

even more elaboration of being able to sell music because ppl dont listen to lyrics..

Exactly, and the other guy claimed it was using compound words, according to his '1st graders learn COMPOUND words, aka MULTIS' theory. My point, was that he is some ignorant moron who decided to argue something that he was clueless about.


edit: Especially considering first graders don't learn how to rhyme them, they don't learn slant rhyme, they don't learn assonance.. they don't even learn ANYTHING to do with multis, beside how to spell words with more than one syllable.

I was the guy that said that.

Compound words are multi sylobols. Example Anybody - broken down to - an-y-bod-y. More than 1 sylobol. A one sylobol word would be something like "at" or "fat".

[Jaz]

No.

A multi, is a multi-syllabic rhyme.

It can be 4 words rhyming 2, 1 rhyming 3, it doesn't matter.

Most of them USE compound words, but they are NOT compound words.

Such as:

East-er Day
Feast her face
Greas-er chase

You get the point
