LMAO! :laughing:

Anyways, I hate that stupid accent. And people saying they love Oh No. Man wtf you guys on, Oh no sucks.

Have you forgotten of the good 1999-2002 days? Damn, even Encore is better than Relapse, by a lot!

I don`t wanna be like like you, I don`t wanna save the nation...
Let us love Relapse. It is not as good as TES or MMLP, but it is good. People love it. It has great beats, crazy rhymes and flows. And lots of dead bitches. Give me a beer, pass me the joint and let that Relapse play. You should try it. It beats the hell out of pontless hate.

Relapse is still commercial and therefore 'unfashionable' amongst hip-hop heads (wankers) because it was made by the highest selling artist of the 2000s.

Recovery is a mediocre record and we don't want to accept that, but it is. You know it deep down. I know it deep down. It's an enjoyable record, but it makes the lyricism and delivery on Relapse look like MMLP by comparison.

Listen to 25 to Life and then listen to My Mom and compare the level of detail in the lyricism. The latter drives the former off a bridge after a 1/5 of Vodka.

The thing with Eminem is that you're subconsciously comparing everything he puts out to his monumental first 3 solo albums, so after a period of time when the album isn't new and exciting anymore, you start to realize that it isn't nearly as good as you thought.

25 To Life shits all over My Mom. Not even close.

Just because My Mom has more multis doesn't mean it's the better song.

The superior rhyming is only part of it.

My Mom is a throwback to the humorous storytelling of classic Eminem. 25 To Life is a stale "metaphor track" that has little replay value. Oh shit, he's telling us his on-off relationship with rap is like it's with a woman...cool. :coffee:

This.
It's ironic too, because he's complaining about being a slave to the rap game yet in itself trying to appease it at the same time (and failing).

When Relapse came out I was ok with it. I didn't love it nor did I hate it, I was just happy to listen to Em again with new stuff. But after Recovery came out I was like "WHAT THE FUCK? IS RELPASE REALLY THAT HORRIBLE?!! :o :confusion: " I hate the accents. The only thing I like about it its probably it's humor, but that's it.

25 To Life conveys great emotion, in the same league as the some of emotional TES tracks. My Mom's beat is unbearable, the hook is kind of annoying and the storytelling can get rather boring.

25 To Life has a LOT of replay value, according to a lot more people other than myself.

i think deep down people had huge expectations about recovery with the hope that eminem was gna turn back to some TES classic shit and he was basically gna wind the clock back to his glory years

in reality, although recovery was a real good album, that didnt happen and with that reality, people realised that compared to recovery, relapse was just as good, if not better

It's way better then earif about his mom for the 1000th time plus the annoying accent.

When I first read the relapse tracklist I thought it was fake cause of title names like "my mom"

Relapse might have great flow and rhyming and multis, but half the songs are still shit and have no subject matter. I can't put any relapse songs in my top 25 eminem songs, possibly even top 50. Even Refill for example. We loved "elevator" just because of the lack of accent and awesome hook. Verses sucked, but no accent makes it way better

Nothing on Recovery is in the same league as TES. I guess, you can say "emotionally" it is...but I don't listen to Eminem for emotionz. I listen to his lyrics because they are intelligent, clever, and unpredictable. The lyrics I like may or may not be humorous or deeply meaningful. There's good, and not good.

25 To Life is an obvious song, period. He's not really painting a picture, this is a generic concept song that isn't original. My Mom is much more amusing and it just sounds more natural. 25 To life was forced out because his dumbass fans want "metaphor trax n shit yo".
