So short-lived, but so awesome. The music, the interviews, the freestyles.... Em was being himself. Then he became this pseudo-serious/mature persona for Recovery.
Looks like he's really back after that forgettable 2010-2012 era. I consider those years his mid-life crisis.

A tingle in the testicles if you will

I dunno if it's that simple man.
I think Relapse and Recovery both accentuated different parts of his personality. He's always had that fucked up rhyming-for-the-sake-of-it side but he's always had that serious side too.
I think his objectives for each album were totally different and I think he was probably successful in both of them in different ways. As a fan I feel lucky to have Relapse and Recovery.
I hope this album is a true Hip Hop album that will earn respect from other rappers who don't give a shit about radio play and record sales. Most of all, I hope 12 year old girls HATE this album.
Tbh, it all felt forced. It's not like Em wasn't serious in 2009. When he spoke on his drug problems, Proof, and his other struggles during his hiatus, he was pretty serious.
During the Recovery years, it's almost like he was surpressing his comedic/fun side on purpose. Everything from his music, to his fashion, to his demeanor was a phase that screamed mid-life crisis to me.

Me neither, best to keep our expectations low and get blown away.
