Lemonade Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Does anyone think it totally sucks?I liked Eminem's first 2 albums when he was doing all his angrier stuff like The Way I Am, Guilty Conscience, Kim, Kill You etc. but his third album was watered down pop and his last album was just a load of comedy shit. This new one seems like a combination of both if this atrocity is anything to go by.YouTube - Eminem - We Made You (Official Music Video)HDPlease somebody do something to him to make him angry again. After all his struggles to be taken seriously as a rapper he's just turned himself into a bit of a joke."Wow, that's controversial, AND relevant to today's youth!"

-matthEw- Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 It really is so bad. I feel embarrassed for him. Those first two albums are still to me some of the greatest rapping on record. As an early teen it felt genuinely dangerous listening to him and they still are pretty compelling and seriously bad-ass records today. Pick almost any 4 bars off Slim Shady and Marshall Mathers and the lyrics are 10x sharper, funnier and just better than almost anything off his last two, and looks likely to be better than any of this one.Looks like the fire in his belly is well and truly out.

Kusanagi Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Poor Marshall lost his edge a looooong time ago. to get back on top :he needs to lose all his money, get beaten to a pulp, suffer brain damage and possibly contract ze AIDZ... by that time i reckon his patter will have improved somewhat as he'll no doubt be incandescent with rage, and therefore more likely to say stuff that genuinely entertains...i.e ...Shitztina Ag(guilera), I better switch me chairs, so I can sit next to Carson Daly and Fred Durst, so we can argue over who she gave head to first...

Soda Jerk Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 His angrier stuff was better, but it was still pretty inconsistent, and seperated with comedy rap, which I just can't hack. There's plenty of great angry hiphop out there which is probably better than his earlier stuff, so it's no huge loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaOfEnergy Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 yeah good angry underground hiphop like necro, riviera regime, non phixion, ill bill, Psycho Realm, Psych Ward (some examples)- really shits all over eminem, past and present IMO. Eminem was a talented rapper who got famous for the wrong reasons,e.g 'omg look hes white!' (most of the rappers i mentioned at the start are white so he really isnt anything special) DRE pretty much singlehandedly ruined the hip-hop scene with him and his mainstream C-RAP. There are much more controversial,intelligent, hardcore and real(i.e independent/non sellout) rappers out there if you look.'Forgot about Dre'? should be 'Forget about Dre'...

Lemonade Posted May 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 If you like your Eminem angry and controversial give this old track a listen. It's a diss track aimed at Everlast from House of Pain. At about 3 minutes it morphs into "Hit 'Em Up" and it's fucking ace. Eminem really sounds like he's enjoying himself!YouTube - Eminem Quitter/Hit 'em Up(everlast diss) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This new one seems like a combination of both if this atrocity is anything to go by.You mean his 2nd and 3rd? His first was Infinite.I agree that Slim Shady and Marshall mathers LPs were great, the former being my favourite. I think ever since D12's Devil's Night came out, he has been going majorly downhill.

The Milner Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 yeah his new stuff is horrible, he should have just given up when he said he would. The D-12 stuff was shit as well just tried to hard to be contraversial, although i did like the girls song about LB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted May 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Anyone see him on Jonathan Ross at the weekend? He seemed really out of sorts. He was just giving one or two word answers, never once cracked a smile, didn't seem to get any of the jokes, and just looked like he didn't know where he was. Mercifully, Ross cut the interview pretty short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted June 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Annoyingly that new song is starting to grow on me as well. I went searching for my "Encore" album yesterday and found the disc wasn't in the box, and I couldn't find it anywhere. Then I remember it's mostly shite anyway so I wasn't that bothered.The worst lyric in Eminem history is on that CD. if you ask me to, daddy's gonna buy you a Mocking bird I'ma give u the world I'ma buy a diamond ring for you, I'm a sing for you I'll do anything for you, to see you smile And if that mocking bird don't sing And that ring don't shine I'ma break that birdies neck I'll go back to the jeweler, who sold it to ya And make him eat every carat, don't fuck with dad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted June 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Surprisingly the new album is pretty good. Apart from "WeMade You" and "Crack A Bottle" which were obviously written to be pop singles, every other song on the album is about drugs, abduction, rape and murder. It's a sort of concept album, it starts out with him coming out of rehab and immediately getting back into the drugs and in doing so, resurrecting his "Slim Shady" alter-ego, who is crazy and obsessed with killing. The whole album is performed as Slim Shady, (like in The Slim Shady LP), and about his thirst for drugs and blood, it's dark and violent as fuck in places. No comedy at all. It's kinda lacking in memorable hooks, but the lyrics are more like the Eminem of old, though instead of abducting and killing members of his family he's abducting and dismembering Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan, and there's a lot about his drug overdose and stuff.I'd recommend giving the album a spin and not just judging it off the back of the singles. It's not as good as The Marshall Mathers LP but it's better than Encore and The Eminem Show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't mixed in time to make the record proper but was clearly intended to come after the opening skit. Essentially plays out the ressurection of Slim Shady against Marshall's will.
