Um... everybody? Just Blaze said that he was working with Em on it long before it was released and consistently released comments saying things like "it will be one of his best albums for sure".
Learn the facts cunt.

This project is very important to Eminem, he wouldn't feel happy if someone decided to spill the beans and release who's producing what songs. Matter of fact, he probably paid them a little extra to keep quiet. It's not hard for him, considering he is a multi-billionaire.
No they do go around doing that. Just Blaze did that, and others working on Recovery did it; and people within the circles of the producers did it - this is what happens when you have a lot of people outside of your camp working on an album. This time there's been no such noise.
Dante wrote:And what about his raps have been getting better?
His lyrics, his flow; delivery, puns... content; pretty much every aspect in comparison.
Dante wrote:His verse on My Life? Aww yiss, soooo smuhhh-oooth! He duhh-zent care ahhhh-bout anyyy-thang cuhhh-uzzz he's wuuhh-rked so hard, harder than any other rapp-aar out there.
Nope, when did I mention "My Life"? that verse was written and recorded in 2010/11, which is also obvious from the style, which he does not sound like in 2012.
Dante wrote:His C'mon Let Me Ride verse is mediocre. Seriously, what's so special about it? What's "witty" about it?
It's not particularly special, it's a neat little verse... as for how it's witty, I would consider this witty:
"Bagging up chicks like a bag of chips
With a bag of prophylactics as big as Mick Jagger lips"
'as big as Mick Jagger lips', that's getting back to grassroots observation and very laid back sarcasm which he hasn't done for a while now, as he's been so uptight and pun focused.
It's back-to-front smooth in writing, delivery and execution, and the puns are well-done and MUCH better than puns of 2010. Most puns are pretty lame but they're WORLDS better than puns from 2010, and I think the Godzilla line is pretty clever.
Dante wrote:"Bagging up chicks like a bag of chips
With a bag of prophylactics as big as Mick Jagger lips" - Heh. Because, Mick Jagger has big lips, so that uh, means that Eminem uses big condoms. Heh heh heh.
Nahhh, that's not why it's good. It's just due to the fact it's a casual observation, it's not try-hard, it's effortlessly sarcastic, which sounds more naturalistic and free-flowing, not like "HERE'S THE PUN, WAIT FOR IT, PUNNNN... PAUSE, GET IT? I'M CLEVER!!!" as was the case in 2010.
Dante wrote:"Got this bitch gagging, they call me the broad killer
I'm the cousin of Godzilla, cause I spit fire and my dick is draggin'" Heh. Because, Godzilla is a dragon, and 'draggin' sounds like 'dragon'...basically another penis joke. heh heh heh...
Penis jokes aren't funny, it can be less about the content and more about the execution: that whole section works full circles and effortlessly, he didn't have to write his way in to the pun... it just flowed and the 'spit fire' and 'dragon/draggin' element are not stretches or cringing or unnatural. They just work and compliment each other; again, much much better than shit from 2010.
Doesn't always have to be literally funny, it's just about the exercise and art of wordplay and what you can do with it, and I think that's pretty good.
Dante wrote:The only good songs that have come out from Eminem's mouth since Recovery have been his first verse on Welcome 2 Hell and his first verse on I'm On Everything.
Naaaaaaaaaaah, "Fast Lane" is awesome, as is "Above the Law", and those are facts which have been scientifically proven, so you can't deny facts.

...sorry man, didn't catch the last bit... you have shit dribbling down your chin, wipe it up man, it's gross. PS. your provocation of KingBase is commendable but lame. Failathon.
