Relapse is insane in the lyrical complexity department but look at it this way; In Relapse, you'll hear Eminem pulling random words out of his head and putting 'em into a sentence and making them rhyme and work at the same time because, with his subject matter, he could say whatever he wanted about anything, it didn't matter if he exaggerated.

And more importantly, and i've said this before, that accent is like a cheat when it comes to rhyming. He can bend words and have hundreds more options that he would have otherwise.

So I would not put Relapse up there with MMLP/SSLP or TES as far as rhyming with purpose using words that fit that you wouldn't normally think of. I say MMLP/SSLP have the best rhyming when it comes to stuff in the back of your mind that you have to rewind and think about, but TES whenever you take into account every other aspect.

However, "never get the props" and "spot is forever" is an inverse multi...and I just noticed that now that you posted this.

"Ever deserve" goes with "never be served."

You forgot to bold "platinum status," which goes with the rhyme scheme.

Also, there's "go forth and back" and "full blown attack."

Honestly, I don't know why so many people on this board are incompetent when it comes to highlighting rhymes. Even worse is morons in this thread saying the verse isn't complex. :facepalm

i was going to respond to this but your a idiot
so im not gonna wait my time on you

Cleanin' Out My Closet had multis but yeah they weren't that complex i suppose
Have you ever been hated or discriminated against,
I have, i've been protested and demonstrated against,
picket signs for my wicked rhymes,
look at the times, sick is the mind of the motherfuckin' kid that's behind,
all this commotion, emotions run deep as ocean's explodin',
tempers flaring from parents, just blow 'em off and keep goin',
not takin' nothin' from no one,
give 'em hell long as i'm breathin', keep kickin' ass in the mornin',
an' takin' names in the evening,
leave 'em with a taste as sour as vinegar in they mouth,
see they can trigger me but they'll never figure me out,
look at me now, I bet ya' probably sick of me now, ain't you mama,
i'ma make you look so ridiculous now...

did not point out the complete thing cuz i am not that good at that ,but it did have some dope rhyming if you ask me ,you may think the other way tho .

Those two things aren't multis.

Rhyming hated with discriminated with demonstrated is not remarkable. He only really turns up the multis in the second verse, and a tiny bit in the third.

yup have to to agree that so was a lame start but as i said i just pointed it out :happy: but that does not take away the fact that the song is not that focussed on the rhyming dept and only the message/story as you mentioned earlier.

It seems DA has gotten tired of showing how SSLP is the most complex album. Such a shame as I usually love reading SSLP's praise.

Does anyone know how many Pulitzer's Eminem has? I can't find a reliable number. Whatever the number is, he deserves way fucking more than that.
