What do you love about Recovery?

I loved everything about Recovery until you heard it and started spamming threads.

You're an awful topic creator.

[mrjizzbomber]

just answer. please do.

That was my answer

[mrjizzbomber]

just do it

You know what, I'll appease you.

I love that Em is able to be serious without taking himself TOO serious. I love that tracks like On Fire, So Bad and W.T.P. can be mixed in, seamlessly (IMO) with tracks like Going Through Changes, Talkin 2' Myself, Space Bound and Love The Way You Lie. I love that aside from Waynes verse it is all Em (again - Relapse only had Dre, then Dre and 50). I love the wordplay, it keeps it fresh. I love the concepts in certain songs (Almost Famous, 25 to Life, Space Bound) and how certain things can have different interpretations. I love the metaphors, rhyme schemes and flows.

Most of all, I love that he is indicating he still has a long rap career ahead of him, and its only up from here.

wait wait can you explain the songs a little more? im giving it a 2nd listen but from what i understand HALF of the songs are about kim? Or is it metaphoric? Im confused. I love the beats but it sounds like half the songs are about kim.

I've heard Space Bound be called a metaphor for his drug addiction. Some of the lyrics don't really fit that metaphor, but some do perfectly. "Its been a year and six months... no longer me that you want"... I would figure it would have been about a year and a half clean when he made that song.

25 to Life is obviously about the rap game, he even explicitly states that in the song. You might miss it on first listen, I guess...

Love The Way You Lie, Em likely has Kim in mind during that song, but considering Rihanna has also had issues of domestic abuse... its been called more of a statement about domestic abuse than a song Eminem is personally aiming at anyone.

Seduction is a tough one to interpret, but its definitely NOT about Kim. Sounds like it might be about the rap game... or just a random story about stealing a girl from another rapper? I dunno, tough one..

I think Going Through Changes is the only song Em is actually referencing Kim in.

how is 25 to life not about kim? he's talking about nothing about kim.

He's talking about HIp-Hop.... use your small brains.

So your saying that he called hip hop a She? Hip hop is a trainy?

Oh my fucking god, you are an idiot

But when you spoke to people who meant the most to you
You left me off your list
Fuck you hip-hop
Im leaving you, my life sentence is served bitch
And its just

why

why not..

I think that Seduction is not completely in sexual context. I think it's mostly about the fact that he can steal fans from other rappers. He's seducing their ears.
