[melbournian]

Bitch flew out the car, I laughed like she deserved it, she didn't think i'd act like that in person

[momentsgolden]

Ok,i understand that lighters doesnt fit on the album. But, why so much hate? I mean, he had My Name Is, TRSS, We Made You, Without me (best of the lot), Just lose it.... its a basic for any Eminem album.

Personally, i loved Eminem on this and while i think Royce was mehh, i dont think he's capable of being very emotional and natural at the same time.

[M+M]

So many quotable lines on the album I'm loving the 'Without Me' style scratching at the start of loud noises

Goddamn Crooked. Fucking machine.

Goddamn Crooked. Fucking machine.

NEW WEST NIKKA!

My favourite top to bottom would probably be...

1. Above the Law
2. Welcome 2 Hell
3. Fastlane
4. Living Proof
5. Take from Me
6. Loud Noises
7. The Reunion
8. Echo
9. I'm On Everything
10. A Kiss
11. Lighters

I don't get why everybody loves "The Reunion" so much. Just because of his tone / flow being more reminiscent of MMLP days. Because, it's much less structured than back then and it just sounds like he's talking. I'd much rather him flow like "Fastlane" now, much more entertaining.

And, "Lighters" would be my least favourite due to how out of place it is on the EP. I think all the other tracks fit fine and without this track it would been top-to-bottom good tracks, which all mesh. Which is, the aim. And, I think it has an overall sound and doesn't sound patchy like Recovery.

"The Reunion" is just pretty meh to me. It has a class hook by Em but it's very aimless. Which, a lot of their rhyming is but at least it's usually entertaining. And I usually love his OTT misogyny for its sake but, only when it's witty and entertaining. Which, here it wasn't for me. It was just flatly descriptive and pointless. Done to much better effect on say "Same Song & Dance".

That was my first listen right through though so some tracks may grow on me.

It's because mean eminem making a reappearance... Its dark, gloomy and bad as.. Exactly what true fans been waiting for.. at least what I have been - im sure i speak for some, if not most

A 're-appearance'... 'dark'... 'gloomy'... ? where have you been. How is Relapse not that, how are songs like "Cold Wind Blows" and "Almost Famous" not that?

It's the style you love, the voice.

People are just obsessed with his old voice. They call Relapse trash because they can't get past the voice(s) when the writing and content is insane and far superior to something like "The Reunion". Which he could write in his sleep. So, you've been waiting for that style.

Point taken, personally i rate relapse because he's doing his shit (lyrically fire too).. also, almost famous and cold wind blows are my top 2 respectively on recovery. So, it is the "dark" and "gloomy" style that i'm waiting for.. This has it, with the old voice/style, JACKPOT!

I don't understand how that word fits though.

How do you taste canvas anyway?

Can someone explain what it means if he says canvas?

When a boxer knocks another one out, and his face his the floor/canvas.

The yelling bothers me on every song except Above The Law. That sort of beat is epic, and calls for an aggressive delivery.

Song has a similar feel to Almost Famous.

Yeah it is similar to "Almost Famous". Thought that as soon as I heard the hook.

That's probably my favourite style of Em song since his return. I think that hook and the "Almost Famous" hook contrast his flow so well. Just makes the song sound eerie and dark.

Probably my favourite song on the EP too. That or "Welcome 2 Hell".

Taste canvas = knocked out.

Tasting canvas as being knocked out on the canvas, with his mouth to it.

Just a little descriptive metaphor.

[EminemBase]

The stinky twat line is funny. He's getting the knack again of being funny without being...

a) goofy and corny
b) gross-out for its sake, with no wit

That line and the Minaj line / delivery I find genuinely entertaining.

And, those moments are few and far between with him these days. There's plenty of great rhyming and nice wordplay but, it's the wit I've been missing.

I think the key to his humour is spite, and character. I'm thinking specifically of the... Wake Up Show freestyle when he says about having 'you' locked in cellar, developing anorexia - whilst he stands next to ya, eating a full course meal...

That to me, is very funny thinking. Doesn't neccesarily make me laugh out loud but, the spite in it. Of making somebody starve (a lot would stop there) and then, the comedic element of eating a full course meal in front of them, just for spite

tits on a whore, little tits on a whore


Don't know why, but that made me laugh.

EmBase, care to share your thoughts on his verse on Take From Me?

EmBase, care to share your thoughts on his verse on Take From Me?

I think it's a pretty great verse.

I think the writing / structure is good given the fact it's focused and about a real issue as, I think generally you could say it's harder to write like that about such a thing, than it is to write like that about random violence and 'MC shit'.

I also love the "FUCK EM" and the "Slaughterhouse I GIVE YOU... !" is quite epic. He's playing around with a lot of formations and... styles within styles lately and every now and then he hits the nail on the head. For me, "Cinderella Man" is about the best he's been since return, or certainly, close to. The last verse on that for example, it's just very adult and smart.

And, this verse reminds me of that, like "farewell I bid you" and "Slaughterhouse, I give you...", the phrasing is more adult and poetic. Which I think he pulls off better now than 'rapper talk' given his age and and image. I think it's more fitting to who he is now.

I do love the shouting madness when maxed too. His "Almost Famous" verses, his "Fame" verse and his "Living Proof" verses are like cocaine to me. Especially when he ends the line on a huge yell, it's like he's just forcing his brain to the limit, even if it is through noise, it's just very satisfying to listen to, to me. Even though it annoys the fuck out of a lot of fans.

But, when it's structured it's something else. Like I say, the "Fame" (D12) verse is just... awesome. The shouting is done just right and it's emphasized on a repeated rhyme scheme. It's eargasm.
