It's perfectly normal that some people hate Recovery, the fact that we are Eminem fans doesn't mean that we have to like every single song he makes. Plus, every rapper was criticized even at their best - 2pac was, Nas was, and so was Eminem in 99-02 period. Eminem can handle some critique, don't worry about him (he even says it in the songs that he wants to be doubted and challenged, he wants to be hated). He owes us nothing, true, but what do we owe him? Should we force our ears to like everything that comes from his mouth? We can be grateful for his music without doing that. On top of that, most people that criticize Recovery still listen to it, their point is just that Recovery is one his weakest albums - which is my opinion too. It's still a great album, but it's far from perfect. At the end of the day, you either enjoy it for what it is or you don't. It's like football - your favorite team loses the game, but plays very well during the whole 90 minutes. You end up disappointed by the result, but proud of what the players showed on the pitch. Me when Recovery came out - disappointed by the fact it loses compared to his previous work and that it could've been so much better, proud of how good it is nevertheless. I'll probably enjoy MMLP2 no matter what, but I will state my opinion for what I hate about it, you can take it as complaining, being a bad fan or whatever...
I know we're not supposed to love every song but my point is that there are total idiots on this forum who go off their tits about every little thing. There's people in the ADK thread who have said they will not buy the album if Alex Da Kid has production credits on this album. I think that's a ridiculous thing to say. And as far for the people who bitch and whine about everything, first it was that he didn't release the Berzerk video soon enough, then it was the lack of cover art and even then people have criticised the cover, then it was the Survival video and now it's the lack of track list and second single. I know I'm repeating myself but the fact we're getting another Eminem album is amazing in itself considering the guy could very easily have been in a coffin by now.
There's also some people who seem to think they're business gurus by complaining about Shady Records' promotion for the album. This seems to be because everyone is rabid for more info whereas Shady are drip feeding everything slowly. That to me is terrific promotion as the demand for more is insatiable.
Cheer up everyone, The Marshall Mathers LP 2 will be out in less than a month. Enjoy the build up and savour this time because we don't know what the future holds.
We need more posters like you
), it would sound just fine. I just hate DJ Khalil with a passion.
