ManOnTheMoon Posted June 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 I'd rate his albums SSLP>Infinite>TES>MMLP>Recovery>Encore>Relapse Infinite over TES, MMLP, & Recovery!?? Are you serious? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManOnTheMoon Posted June 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 MMLP>TES>SSLP>Recovey>Encore>Relapse but I still like relapse... I don't get the hate on Relapse? LYRICALLY it was one of his most genius albums and on par with any of his greatest, accents just make it automatically horrible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 Infinite over TES, MMLP, & Recovery!?? Are you serious? First off, it's personal preference. Infinite had no real creative direction and certainly didn't touch on any of the deeper ideas of his other albums. From a musical standpoint, it's his worst album. With that said, his raw MC skills were at their highest on Infinite and the SSLP. His wordplay and metaphores were unbelievable on Infinite. He just puts on a pure, lyrical clinic. Secondly, Recovery is a very nice album, but there's just no classic songs, some of the production and guest appearances are questionable, and his flow doesn't change much throughout the entire thing. It doesn't touch any of his first 4 albums. Lastly, my favorite style of Em's is his battle rap. Not the funny/silly stuff, not the horrorcore, and not his more touching/emotional stuff. His strongest style is the style that made him famous underground and got him noticed. And Infinite is nearly all battle rap, with him using it to show off his ability to play with words like no other. PS- Meant to put MMLP>TES. My fault.

That's def. true but he also talked about random [expletive] [expletive]. The metaphors on this album are crazzy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jammin Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 Encore was absolute trash. There was maybe 3 tracks on there that are worth listening to. But yeah.. Puke, Big Weenie, [expletive] Like That, Just Lose It, My First Single... Do I need to go on? They were all trash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenIverson#1fan Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 I can, relapse and refill was awful imo. Its been nearly 8 years since eminem has released a good album? He should just give up and get into acting. :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitro Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 He also bites pretty much every artist of the times style, including Nas and AZ. That's bs IMO and you're just saying he bit AZ and Nas because those are the 2 artists that are mentioned on the Infinite Wikipedia page. I'm a HUGE Nas fan and also an AZ fan and besides rhyming 4-5 words a bar, there's little connect between Em's early style and Nas/AZ's. Em had an entirely different flow and his unique articulation of words also seperated him (for example on Infinite- "Immitator, intimidator, stimulator, simulator of data, eliminator"). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitro Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 I actually get it from listening to the album. Entirely different flow? Haha ok, whatever you say. And yes, entirely different flow, especially from Nas. It's much closer to AZ's flow early on in his career, but I stand by my opinion that the only similarity is rhyming 4-5 words a bar. Every rapper has their own influences, but to say Em jacked anyone's style on Infinite is just wrong. Many of the things unique about Eminem were there pre-SSLP, including on Infinite, particularly in the way he articulates words and uses pronunciation to his advantage.

Nitro Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/14380-recovery/ Yes. Eh, I agree to an extent with what he's saying. I agree with the fact that his skills have fallen off, especially from a creative standpoint. I also agree with his analysis of 'No Love' in the sense that a lot of the guest appearances on this album just don't mesh with Em. With that said, having struggled with addiction and crap, I relate a lot to the album. And even though his skills have fallen off from his older stuff, he's still got arguably the most talent in the game. I know most people like the funnier/lighter side of Em, but I love the more real/serious direction he went with Recovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
