I miss the album phase.

how many times he's going to say the word 'fuck' .

[Amaranthine]

Everything. I love everything.

[Man1x]

I feel like his next album will be his best. I just feel it.

I watched the interview on Kimmel's show and I thought it was pretty funny. That was all the way back in 2009. I wish he did more of those late show interviews, they're the best.

Ditto this. Off the top of my head, Em's only ever done that Kimmel interview, a joke interview thing with him in like 2004, and then the Letterman advice for kids in 2010. I wish he did more, they're hilarious. I feel like Em and Jon Stewart would get along, he should do a promo interview there for his next album.

He did that German one where he sang with the guy and the 2 Jonathan Ross ones.

I was only counting American late night TV, but I suppose those count too. Either way, he needs to do more of them.

I wish, rather than Em releasing another album, that he'd make the album, but then drop 60 seconds of the album every 2 weeks, until he released the whole album over the course of a year or two.

It would be amazing to be able to have something to look forward to so frequently and we'd be able to have lengthy discussions about the 60 second snippet recently got. I think when the whole album leaks at once it's all just like a massive rush and things get left behind and we don't really discuss everything.

And he should go on Oprah's show imo.

Coming out of his cave is the best part. Hopefully he gets to the Grammys this year to do songs with Yelawolf and Slaughterhouse, that would be the best promotion he could give along with VMA and BET features.

[Mr.DGAF]

I love the Freestyles. It's like, we get a year plus of nothing but the occasional, and I use occasional very loosely, feature. Then in the matter of a few months it's overload Eminem. It's like, is the wait worth the little bit of Eminem overload? I dunno, I guess it is, because once you've gotten into the "album phase", it's amazing.

[Amaranthine]

I dunno why but I always thought he'd be funny on Ellen.

I wish he'd do that.

[Atone]

why wait for Eminem, when i drop a new album every 3 to 4 months

Album phase is like finally getting the girl you have a crush on to have sex with you.

Haha, this is the perfect analogy.

I missed the eurphoric feeling I had on April 14th, 2010. My inner stan came out that afternoon.

[Man1x]

I first heard of Eminem a couple weeks after Recovery dropped, and then I was introduced to so much hip hop music through this forum afterwards. I mean before listening to Eminem I was one of those kids that played Coldplay and The Beatles all day (nothing wrong with these bands, both are talented), but looking back I realize how much I was missing out. I had heard hip hop songs when I was young and had not realized it, probably because my father hates hip hop passionately and sheltered me from it. This shelter was destoryed in 2010 when I got myself an iPod and checked those iTunes charts and downloaded "Airplanes, Pt. II (feat. Hayley Williams & Eminem)." This introduced me to the genre and Eminem, and when I heard that verse I completely felt a connection with what Eminem was doing and downloaded Recovery. However, whenever I heard a hip hop song (before I even knew what it was) I just loved those mysterious songs and felt a connection to them, something just clicked. These songs were "California Love (feat. Dr. Dre)," "Yeah! (feat. Lil John & Ludacris)," "Jump Around," & "Feel Good, Inc." These songs, I just didn't know what they were until Recovery opened me up to hip hop, which allowed me to define them. It's definitely always been my favorite genre whether I knew it or not at the time, and in this regard I owe Recovery so much. Recovery did so much for me on an emotional level as well, this was an album I didn't put down for half a year. It was the only thing I played.

[Amaranthine]

I dunno why but I always thought he'd be funny on Ellen.

I wish he'd do that.

I just dunno if she'd ever invite him on because of We Made You and whatever else he's said about her.

She's got to have a sense of humor, she's a comedian.

These songs, I just didn't know what they were until Recovery opened me up to hip hop, which allowed me to define them.

Shit when I got into hip hop I thought it was garbage at first, because all I had heard were Lil Wayne songs and Gold Digger (I have absolutely nothing against Kanye, but I just don't like that song). Then one of my friends showed me "When I'm Gone" in summer of '06, he was like "dude do you listen to rap?" and I really didn't know what rap was except for those songs I had heard already. But when that song played it struck a chord with me that no other song before had. I didn't listen to music prior to Em. I went home straightaway and looked up Eminem, saw the video to You Don't Know and saw him like Hannibal, I was like "dafuq?"
But then I listened to his verse and was captivated by it (even though by now I consider it an average verse). And I was just like "...I thought all rappers were black!"
Then I visited my uncle a few days later, and was rapping the lyrics to "You Don't Know" and he figured I was an Eminem fan, so without the permission of my parents he went out and bought me a copy of the Eminem Show and Devil's Night. From then on, it went from D12 to Shady Records to Dr. Dre to NWA, 2Pac, Biggie, then Big L, DMX, then Tech N9ne, I became a huge hip hop fanatic.

Good hip hop is amazing, like Geno said. I would have probably been more exposed to it and knew what it was earlier on if my dad didn't stop me from finding out what it was. A song would slip past his mind every once and a while on the radio, still does, that is hip hop and he doesn't know. I think it's because he doesn't really know the difference between one genre or another, he just blocked me from everything that he though was negative. That was why I had Coldplay, and I probably wouldn't have heard The Beatles if he wasn't such a huge fan of them and The Wings. Like I said, all I knew back then was ELO, The Beatles, The Wings, & Coldplay (Viva La Vida was my shit). But when songs like Feel Good, Inc. came on the radio and my dad didn't know what they were he kinda just jammed to them, and so did I. I'd always ask him what those songs were but he never knew, I just connected with the hip hop sound and that's what ended up with me discovering Eminem. Then, from Eminem I explored more into hip hop, rock, alternative, and R&B. Really, 2010 was a real eye opener. Really, before I listened to Eminem myself, or hip hop for that matter, my dad defined the genre as "White trash and poor African Americans screaming on a microphone, rhyming 'shit' and 'brick.' It takes no talent what so ever." Looking back, dad you were wrong.
