Going back to 2009

Thank you.

I mean, I have no actual attraction to the hat (being a dude and all) but this forum was full of guys knocking that fucking Kangol hat after Recovery dropped. Like, obsessed with it, to the point that they would be bitching about it every time a new photo or interview came out.

The G-Shock watches are more of a business thing, but they're cool too I guess.

I was never really into that kangol hat, frankly.

[AbramIsaac]

God damn you.

[SajN]

He'd look better rocking some other type than the fucking Kangol hat, lol

lol that's just stupid, then. That Kangol bucket hat he wore in the Superman video was ugly as sin tho! It could be worse, he could be wearing the Grandpa style Kangol hats.

@Abram, I was referring to his music. Even I wouldn't feel comfortable in front of a camera after a long hiatus and just constantly being sheltered from the public if I were Eminem.

[AbramIsaac]

Oh, I know.

That's why I tried to make clear that artistically, he seemed to be very much in the zone. But yeah, even a normal person would have anxiety issues after a comeback like that...but people that abuse benzos like he did for years have seriously elevated levels of anxiety for up to a year or two after they stop due to their ability to cope naturally being hindered unnecessary during the addiction.

That brave motherfucker.

Honestly, those backwards fitted caps look strange to me, considering his age.

It's important to age gracefully, and while he doesn't look bad in it, it seems odd to me for him to wear one.

[HeySamantha]

^ I agree, same would go for if he walked out tomorrow in a do-rag. It would look weird. If he were to wear a ball cap normally, that'd be fine. Beanies are good too, those work for everyone at any age

[AbramIsaac]

It's not immature so much as it's just...I don't know, it looks unnatural.

It would be like him rocking the blond hair again. I do think that a PR person had a hand in helping him out with a new style, as he doesn't seem to be the type that is overly concerned with that, but I still think it's more fitting.

I don't see anything immature about backwards caps.....

I've seen plenty of 40 year olds rocking that. I think an Interscope PR person told him to switch his style up. He looked comfortable with how he was dressing. It was a drastic change.

I never said it looked bad or immature, it just looks weird.

To be honest, from a girls perspective... he can't ever look bad. He's hot as hell. He can stand around in nothing bit a knee-length white t and look fantastic lol

I found an HD version of the cypher on facebook the other day and let out a yelp of excitement. The youtube versions are crap.

it's so much better. Sound is way better and you can actually see it how it was meant to be seen

You guys need to get off this relapse shit. It was a weak album. Eminem was tryin to go back to what he did in the MMLP era and nobody was buying it. The whole album felt forced, minus a few tracks. How many of you were praising it when it came out?


Recovery was a very good album. Its Em being true to his identity and evolving as an artist - not trying to be something from the past.



(if you liked Relapse more power to you - I like bits of relapse also - but the problem with a lot of you fans is your stuck in your own expectations of who Eminem is. MMLP Em is never coming back. Its done, he's a different guy. Let it go, sit back and enjoy the music or at least judge it on its on merits and stop comparing it to Em's old shit).

I was, and my opinion is the only one that matters
