Relapse - lyrics

[Hiphopdane]

I've never understood why the lyrics get critized so much. Tons of albums that get released these days are full of superficial themes that the rapper obviously hasn't experienced in real life.

There isn't that much difference between a movie and a music album. Both are entertainment, both are telling stories. Some people think you aint "lyrical" when you tell stories that the listener can't relate to. It's like saying all horror movies aren't well written. The same goes for comedy songs - isn't it lyrical when you make people laugh? It takes more than a fart sound.

Songs like Same song and dance, Insane, Stay wide awake and 3 a.m. are all telling a story, and if you ask me, they are all very, very good.

I'm not trying to make Relapse sound flawless, cus it definitely had some weak songs.

[ThomasJ]

Insane is a good song.
Stay Wide Awake,3 AM & Same Song And Dance are AMAZING songs.
Weak songs on Relapse :
-Hello
-Medicine Ball
-Old Time's Sake
-Beautiful
-Crack A Bottle

I still don't mind listening to those weak songs.

Relapse is much better than people think.

Relapse is much much much better than people think.

[ThomasJ]

i love it, but he DID overuse the accent, maybe if he did half half

I got over the accent a LONG time ago.

[Hiphopdane]

My only issue with the accent was that the pronunciation of the words seemed to get ruined by it sometimes.

Probably just my foreign ears.

EDIT: Having said that I would have prefered his normal voice.

That's because he had to bend some words in order for them to rhyme.
BTW,he does that all the time.

I really gotta ask, who are your favorite rappers?
You allways put yourself over people on here music wise, letting people know you have superior taste in music.
But who do you listen to?

[Jimmy Conway]

Eminem is held to higher expectations than most artists. When you are considered to be one of the best at something you fall under more criticism. Athletes go through it all the time. Numbers that would be amazing for most people are looked down on for the elite. Eminem has earned his title for one of the best all time rappers. And he's earned the criticism that comes with it I guess.

I for one love Relapse. But some people expect him to sounds the same every album and when he doesn't it's trash to them.

Relapse has great lyrics. The accent is why people do not listen to it, so they say it sucks. I love Relapse.
