Nope...........By the way, this thread has been done hundreds of times
Since Relapse is the album that all the mainstream fans shitted on, the core fanbase has latched onto it like some kind of special record that only they get.......
Truth is, it was a very MEDIOCRE attempt at recapturing the SSLP era-vibe, except it didnt work because when he made the SSLP he sounded like he was having fun, where as on Relapse he just sounded uncomfortable
SSLP's Serial Killer references were funny, the punchlines rewind worthy, and the overall aura about it was Dark Comedy
Relapse was just weird, too many Questionable Gay lines (In Medicine Ball he actually Rhymes "Vasectomy Hector" with "Bisexually Wreck Ya" among DOZENS of others), the accents were annoying, He Beat the Pop Star references into the ground, and the album just wasnt any fun to listen to after the first few spins.......Only redeemable qualities to me were the Rhyme Schemes and the Production.........Save for "Underground" I wouldnt put anything from that record on an Eminem greatest hits record..........
