Em's new album

Disclaimer: I'm a small-time hip-hop producer, but more importantly I'm a linguistically articulate lyricist who can pen lyrics and poetry.

The new Em album seems childish to me, and feels like something he wrote just to get something out.

I feel Recovery was much better (and of course some of his older stuff was written in more crazy times but it is more lyrically sincere).

Thoughts?

Disclaimer means nothing, just saying that as a writer and lyricist myself, I'm biased.

I believe he can write better than anyone I've ever experienced (at least in the past he could).

I agree - for the most part. However two songs which I personally believe he has been trying to write are "Bad Guy" and "Headlights." Mainly due to all his real life problems. Overall, I believe it is equivalent to Relapse. Which, in my opinion was awful. The songs I mentioned though are some of the best I've heard from him.

Agreed.

Lyrically, his part in "No Love" is some of his best wordsmith work, but word-wise in regards to inner-feeling, Headlights I do like.

From my own experience, on the new LP, I like the words in "Legacy". The production doesn't seem great until you fall into the track. I'm assuming this track will become mainstream though; although to me, that doesn't matter.

ps. Goosebumps actually in portions of "Legacy"

We're definitely on the same train of thought. I can see how he just put it out so he would have something new. Not to mention he released it with COD:Ghost for gods sake. I mean shit he said it in "Bad Guy"
"And hey, here's a sequel to my Mathers LP
Just to try to get people to buy."

Yeah, his new album is no where near what he is capable of. I for one can't stand it will most likely never buy a song from the album or the album it's self.

Marshall Mather LP and LP 2 were the shit!

I never had him for albums. A song or 2 yes, but not a full album, can't really feel most of the shit he says.
Haven't bothered with his shit since the Emimen Show.

eminem is dope, but i still await the return of slim shady he was fucking hype.


yeah definitely when he was tripping out on shrooms and weed he was a amazing rapper just listen to infinite by him it made me have a ear-gazem then i heard recovery and i was like WHAT IS THIS SHIT em defiantly changed i mean he does sound like a fucking robot just listen to rap god then listen to infinite or 313 its like two different people i think he should just go back to weed and pills if he wants to be good again but that's just my two cents
