For the 8th album, What do the signs Point to?

[Hopsinshadie]

Apparently Em made ''Survival'' for COD, so we would only expect it to be as pop as it is. One would assume though that that song would suggest a Recovery 2.0 album.

How bout My Life?

While you were sipping your own Kool-Aid getting your buzz heavy
I was in the fücking sheds sharpening my machete
Sipping on some of that revenge juice, getting my taste buds ready
To whoop down this spaghetti, or should I say this spaghett-even?
I think you fücking meatballs keep on just forgetting
Thought he was finished, motherfücker, it's only the beginning
He's bugging again, he's straight thugging, fück who he's offending

It's as if he has been listening to what people have been saying. People like me, people who criticize Eminem rightfully so, not just to criticize. But the question is, do those lyrics hold any actual weight? Is he really trying to shut us up? Does he care? And even if he did, how effective would his method be?

I'm fucking back again
With another anthem, why stop when it doesn't have to end?
It ain't over 'til I say it's over

So he's aware that we think it's over for him? Back in TES, he'd say things like ''My fire will expire at 30.'' Now here he is at 40, saying it doesn't have to end?

But I want you to doubt me, I don't want you to buh-lieve
Cause this is something that I must use to suc-ceed
And if you don't like me then fuck you!
Self es-teem must be fucking shooting through-the-roof cause trust me
My skin is too thick and bul-let proof to touch me
I can see why the fuck I disgust you
I must be a-llergic to failure cause everytime I come close to it
I just sneeze, I just go atchoo then achieve!

Another verse suggesting he's trying to prove us wrong? Based on the recent lyrics of Eminem, do you think he's just rambling or do you think his lyrics really do point to the direction he's heading?

I think you're a worthless faggot, that's what I think.

/thread.

Struggle OP

[SoldierShady]

I don't know. I'm hardly convinced anymore when Em says he's "back" and his "self-esteem is through the roof" these days.

[Hopsinshadie]

I'm hoping that Eminem is saving his best stuff for the album. I'm having ambivalent feelings about this new album. It could miss.

OR it Could HIT!!!

Anything is possible with the middle finger man!

[Jimmy Conway]

Em's so full of shit.


He is still trying to play the underdog when everyone loves him these days. And the people who don't listen to his music still have a lot of respect for him. Everyone is basically pulling for him to succeed and he is acting like he is still in the days of people hating him for being too extreme.

Also, he needs to let that just don't care thing go.


"Top 5 in this mothafucka and if I don't make the cut
What, like I give a fuck"

He already said in that song apple he cares about shit like that.


Him having that just don't give a fuck attitude died when he started apologizing for his music and talking about holding hands with his fans.



Also, the signs point to a great album because it's been three years and it's Eminem.

[superman11]

Yes. Em is reading your every post here to get inspiration for his new album. Your on to something.

[Notalius]

As long as the all time greats consider Em as one of the top 5 it's all good I guess

[Hopsinshadie]

He wouldn't admit that, but for marketing research purposes, the forums provide proper intel. Of course he reads forums that are all about and dedicated to him.

[Shuttle Destroyer]

Nice thread, eminem section worthy tbh. It suggests a good discution and that's what this forum's about
I agreed with you, the lyrics are always a great way to see how he's feeling at that moment
On Recovery, he was trying to prove himself once and for all, and now that he did there, he's proving he's the goat and that's what this album is all about to me. It's worth saying that, on Recovery, he was cold trying to reafirmate himself. Now he's more free, ''more loose'', funnier and will put himself in everybody greats lists in that way.
I can see a mix of TES hunger and MMLP loose flows.

Well... A album by Em usually don't sound like any of the previous, but... I have a feeling that TBA will resemble The Eminem Show. I'd like to have concrete arguments, but it's just a feeling.

No 2 albums sounded the same, although SSLP and MMLP were not to far off.

I think it will be a combination of TES, blended with MMLP and some 8 Mile.

Let's hope so. By thw way, I liked Survival and I think it's an improvement from Recovery, at least. And Symphony in H was good, so... Trust Shady, I guess.

[RayMcTechGuy]

The signs are pointing to Recovery 2 imo.
I mean obviously the album won't be called Recovery 2, but it will most likely be just like it.

Everyone loves him? LMAO outside of this forum so many hip hop fans DESPISE him for "falling off" and "being a sellout". Apple was a leaked song made when Em was high as shit off of sleep medication.

Regarding his don't give a fuck attitude:
Exactly what's wrong with making a motivational anthem helping people with depression? And you're really misinterpreting what Em means by "I just don't give a fuck"
