"Joke songs" on 8th album?

[detox2030]

Slim Shady LP - My Name Is
Marshall Mathers LP - The Real Slim Shady
The Eminem Show - WIthout me
Encore - Just Lose It (and Ass Like That)
Relapse - We Made you

Recovery - None
It was pretty much avoided in this album because Em wanted it to be serious. I don't think you can consider "Cold Wind Blows" a "joke song" like the ones listed above by the way.

So do you think he will add a joke song on his new album? Do you want one? At the moment I have no idea, but I'm really hoping for one since all those songs always manage to put a smile on my face.

[RainMan44]

I hope so. I think if he uses his "Symphony In H" delivery, he can make it work. lookin back on it, survival makes me appreciate SIH even more, I like both tho

[Mathers]

WTP?

[Kill You]

He had W.T.P. on Recovery.

But yes, I want more of these and less seriousness. We've heard Em's story a million times people...now he should concentrate on just crafting stories.

Depends what the story's about though, we can have a serious song without it being about him or his life.

[LMShady]

I think it depends on the album as a whole, if he wants to make it have a consistent sound then maybe a funny song/single may not suit the style of the album. Although I would like to see one personally.

You wouldn't consider WTP a joke song? It's entirely comical.

He doesn't have to be silly or goofy to be funny.

In fact that's the problem... in his prime... he never compromised the style of the albums to be funny, but on Encore and Relapse he did; the fart noises and like... becoming a more goofy version of himself; even "My Name Is" wasn't goofy, he was just sarcastic and 'out of it'.

So I hope there's no goofy songs, since it always seems contrived.

I hope there's funny songs though and by funny I mean MMLP-funny; and his recent BET humour and post 011 sarcasm is actually good signs for his humour; he's being sarcastic but confidently, cocky, witty... not just SUPER SERIOUS ARGHHH or gooffffballl fart!

There were funny moments on Recovery too though; "it ain't like me to split a piece of dry pita" is funny to me, and it's intended to be, as well as him throwing pennies at strippers; this is his real spiteful sense of humour which hasn't been properly seen since TES. As in, it was present on patches on Recovery and in recent freez and songs but up until then, was not; was silly on Encore, and Relapse was funny but he was in-character so it was more abstract and showing psychopathy.

I think a lot of his fans are dumb are don't actually get his REAL humour, his real dry wit and if he 'sounds' serious, they take that as humourless. A lot of people are like that with comedy in general, they need too many winks to the camera. His goofy songs are less funny than even his most serious songs, he often has one line of black humour in a really somber and depressive song that is actually funny; goofy or try-hard funny is not funny, it's just obvious and easy.

I hope he's funny. Not goofy.

[NextEpisode]

Joke song(s) or not, I hope the element of wit is a prominent feature of the album.

[Raul]

Joke song(s) or not, I hope for the element of wit.

This. And...

How can anyone find Just Lose It funny is beyond me. It's ashameful. His sense of humor is more complex and dry than we think. For example, his interviews from 2010-2011... I find it really funny because he maintains a straight face while being sarcastic/stupid, it's just funny to see him almost cracking up and stuff like that.

I hope that he makes a Joke/Humorous song, but will be more pleased if he do an sarcastic/black humor song.

[Notalius]

I want him to try a new accent .. he sounded different on all of his "slim shady" songs

I might be one of the few people on this, but I think dry humor is the funniest shit ever if done correctly. It's funnier when you hear a song from Em and you're listening to it and not expecting it, then he hits you with some off the wall type shit.

[guesswhosback08]

Yeah, a goofy song would be a nice breath of fresh air to show that he is happy

[UofLCard]

If there's a jokey song, it'll likely come in the form of a single, like the past ones have.

[CanadaPure]

Just Lose It and Ass Like That can put a smile on your face? Lol.

OT, don't know and don't care, I just want good music, and I want something that he hasn't done before.

JUST LOSE IT
EUUUGHEUUUGHEUUUGHEUUUUGHEUUUUGH

[UofLCard]

I like Just Loose it and I'm probably the only one.....I made my sister's DJ play "Just Lose it" at her wedding lol

I actually don't mind it, either.
