Greatest Lyricism/Wordplay

[Hadez]

the 2009 freestyle shits all over the 2010.

although i can't deny how nice these parts are in 2010:
"As sick as i'm getting they'll stick me in a conventional oven with a rotisserie setting and won't even notice me sweating"

and the whole 3rd verse. shit was sweet as hell. "I'll cut your fuckin balls off, homie, my saw's off the chain "

The 2009 verses were way longer so of course.

[Relapse.]

That one is straight fuckin viciousness [/quote]

Funny thing is, it was only a few months before Recovery and its allll SLIM SHADY, then... BAMMMM Hip Pop album[/quote]

A few months? Homie, that was the same month! It just goes to show Shady is alive and well. I have NO DOUBT in my mind that Slim Shady will be back!

Damn, I even feel like the songs The Reunion, I'm On Everything, A Kiss and Loud Noises are all Slim Shady - all of those songs he is sick (Loud Noises being the least "sick", but he had some cool lines like the lemon and "what's happenin' guy!?")[/quote]


amen menzo. Your a god bro. Slim better be back, or ima make his ass come back.

Eminem did what the fans asked for with Recovery and (maybe) Relapse and got criticized on both, I'm pretty sure at one point he'll get sick of the criticisms and won't give a fuck, which'll result in Slim Shady coming back. That's me predicting the future.

Yeah the thing with Relapse Slim Shady, I believe, was it wasn't the 'classic' Slim Shady. Not in the sense of good, but in a different way.

Whereas the Slim we love is all about being dark, evil, cruel, hilarious, exaggerative, and random
Relapse was more creepy, realistic, disgusting, and descriptive.

But aye, Shady is Shady, I guess.

Slim Shady is supposed to be a mean dude, an asshole. He's the result of Eminem's anger. The Relapse "Slim Shady" wasn't Slim Shady at all. That was like Slim 2.0. It's not really Em being Slim because.. well.. what's the point? What's he got to be angry about? Nothing. He just TRIED to be Slim but couldn't. Just because he rapped about raping girls & such doesn't mean it's Slim Shady.

Slim Shady is what you heard on "The Way I Am". Or, "Kim". He's really angry. That's how his image started. Not this phony Relapse bullshit.

Relapse is still great, though.

Man, you said it way better than me

Anyways, basically this is why I always say how Relapse's serial killer character felt kinda 'forced' compared to Fire Marshall which I feel is more comfortable.

This entirely, when I first heard Relapse I hated and this was a big reason. That wasnt Slim Shady, that was some random rapist that for god knows why, talks about vacuncys in his tummmmy and red satin pannnntys (I know Relapse was greatly influenced by Silence Of The Lambs, but some of it seemed like unintentionaly funny crap)

So have we all came to agreement that the Relapse Rapist wasn't the classic Slim Shady?

actually if we're discussing sweet ass freestyle lines, how about this one from way back

"now get back, i don't mean to boast
look, my face is pale but you look like you seen a ghost"

[Wreck]

No one ever mentions how good this one is.

Wasn't that battle against Kuniva? I remember that it was against someone in D12.

[EmBroughtMeIn]

Was just listening to the Westwood Freestyle again and this just always makes me smile, due to how amazing it is haha :

Im checking the exposure of photos of me exposing,
myself, locked inside of a cosy hotel posing,
with or without clothing,
next to the decomposing,
bodies eroding,
while im dosing off, overdosing.
Although its a freestyle, this has to one of his greatest examples of wordplay, and rhyming etc.. i know there are alot more but i cant be bothered to think right now soo...

Post other examples if you wish, or just agree with it

Does anybody have a good quality download link for this? It's fucking nice.
