Rhyming on 'Recovery'...

[EminemBase]

How do you think the rhyming on Recovery fares compared to his best work?

[Snakebeast]

Absolutely and utterly terrible, imo. In terms of rhyming, it just simply sucks (in comparison). Of course, this isn't counting Encore, which I like to pretend never existed.

Well I noticed one thing he does more lately is, rather than rhyming entire phrases like he used to, he will more often just rhyme a succession of words like 'rat' with 'cat' but like right after each other, which has a sort of 'bunch of rhymes' effect, but is more lazy...

His rhyming on the BME EP is pretty good, isn't it?

[ShadyxEminem]

His rhyming on Relapse shits on Recovery's. His rhyming on Infinite does as well, Recovery might be his less "rhyme-focused" album (with Encore). I think he focused more on the punchlines, than the technical aspect

[ChristinaE12]

I think his rhyming was there on Recovery. Not as good as he has but still great. But his flows and delivery didn't make the rhyming seem as smooth. Like how they were on prior material.

Wut? I don't see that. Everything after Recovery is superior imo (rhyming wise).

"life is no Nintendo game, but you lied again.
Now you get to watch her leave out the window.
Guess that's why they call it window pane."

"Thought I had it mapped out but I guess I didn't, this fucking black cloud
Still follows, me around but it's time to exorcise these demons
These motherfuckers are doing jumping jacks now!"


"Just finished the rhyming and bust it excuse this corny metaphor
But they'll never ketchup to all this energy that I've mustard"

"I gave Bruce Wayne a Valium and said
settle ya fuckin ass down I'm ready for combat man
get it calm batman?"....actually I could probably just post all of WBD. That forced punchline lil wayne bullshit

I could keep going...but that would mean I would need to listen to more bad music, which I don't want to do.

oh Slim Ary is back

[Jimmy Conway]

His rhyming on Recovery is fantastic and it's way more complex than everything (bar "Deja Vu") on Relapse.

@ Slim Cary, he's talking about the rhyming you fuckin' moron.

I know what he is talking about. The way he rhymed that shit is horrible. The content is terrible, everything about it is horrible.

Almost famous, 25 to life, seduction and on fire are the only songs on the album that aren't shit.

No, you're just an idiot. You just saw the word "recovery" and went into your typical, masochistic emo wrist slitting permanently unappeased miserable self.

Talk about SSLP, MMLP, Eminem Show or Relapse and you will hear a lot of praise.

I seem so negative because Recovery is his most recent album and everyone obsesses about it. It isn't good. No where close to the other four albums I spoke about.

It doesn't compare to his better work in any way. It has bad rhyming, bad punchlines, bad beats, bad features. It has a few good songs, the rest are unlistenable.

[EminemBase]

Nope.

You think the rhyming on Recovery is better than Relapse rhyming?

[cityfan31]

Clearly Relapse rhyme schemes were more complex as that was the whole focus of the album.

He went for 'songs' on Recovery, which meant sacrificing complex rhymes at times for getting his point across, although songs like LTWYL to me had a great mix of content and rhymes. Along with a great hook sung by Rihanna. It's no coincidence it blew up when you put it like that.

I still think I'd rather have Recovery out of the two. It's more Eminem.

He's talking about hidden rhymes, inverses, multiple rhyme patterns, etc.

Recovery probably had more of them.

I can't see that at all. He was rhyming whole verses in Relapse.

^ I dunno man... the rhyming on Relapse is bananas, especially like "Stay Wide Awake"...
