EMINEM - MUSIC TO BE MURDERED BY SIDE B (DISCUSSION THREAD)

[CourtesyFlush]

He's in his pocket on book of rhymes!

 

[Tony D'Amato]

Its not horrible. Just not neededand doesn't add anything to the genre. Very forgettable.

 

[THE 101]

This guy releases complete trash time in time out...how can ya'll keep giving this clown the benefit of the doubt

Awful voice and flow, the most awful music sensbility of any major rapper ever. turgid beats, cringe inducing hooks, corny punchlines....i can't think of another so called legend who makes less appealling music. Utter trash artist.

I appreciate it cuz he just keeping his fans fed. I don’t think he aimed to do anything revolutionary with this. I’m cool if he keeps dropping albums for his integral fanbase for the rest of his career.

This album feels like a larger Relapse: Refill to me. The “throwaway” tracks from MTBMB and a few new ones he recorded while on lockdown.

Ima say tho, perception is a MF’er cuz if Drake dropped “Killer” every black person would be bumping the shyt right now lol

WHY YALL SO MAD AT EM FOR THE PUNCHLINES THO??

YALL REALIZE HE STARTED AS A BATTLE RAPPER AND PUNCHLINES IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF BATTLE RAP, CORRECT??

Because instead of sounding like Eminem, it sounds like Big Sean/Lil Wayne the way he does it now. Also, the wit isn't always there anymore. It's cool when it's part of a scheme, or a grand theme, but a bad joke just stuck in there at random sticks out like a sore thumb.

I SEE HOW SOME OF THEM CAN COME OFF CORNY, BUT OVERALL I THINK ITS OVERSTATED

 

[Shogun]

Oof, is this boring.
I'm an Em fan and can usually find enough songs on his albums to say they're solid, but this didnt hit me at all.
The rapping is there, but there's even less substance than usual.

ILL BUMP THIS AT THE GYM 2DAY

[Mike the Executioner]

Cause the gutters' where my mind is and when
It's in this frame, better split like the 9 and the 10
Cause without a second to spare, I'm strikin again
And when the beat is up my alley I go right for the pins (pens)

I notice this a lot with Eminem's verses in his later years where I can read something like that and I'm like . That's legitimate wordplay, clever and creative. But then I hear the song where he says that exact same thing and I'm like because the flow/delivery isn't nearly as good as the actual writing.

Eminem used to make normal songs.



Why is it so hard for him to do now?

Something like "Superman" is way too simple for him to do. Eminem is an overthinker, a perfectionist and he over compensates for his lack of musicality with his pen. I said something like that earlier to @TheDarceKnight, but Eminem used to be a great artist, and one of the reasons was because of how smooth and effortless he sounded on the mic. Now, he sounds like he's going to get shot if he doesn't prove he's the greatest rapper of all-time on every track.

He needed to get some beats from him. We still need a plain "beats and rhymes" album from him. This album could have EASILY been:

Premo
Dre
Alchemist

Let that marinate

I was thinking about how simple it would be to have a Bad Meets Evil track with Premier on production. Especially since we know now that Eminem can get Premier to work with him. But I don't think like Eminem does.

Trash but it is what it is

 

[Spades Of Aces]

@ him still dissing Ja in 2020

A verzuz battle between these two would be...

I like Zeus

"so bon iver can swallow a ja rule bobblehead and die slow"

Lmao Em has beef with a lot of fukking people

 

[Killalex]

I don't want to crucify Eminem like most of Coli but honestly this is pretty terrible.
Eminem is an amazing MC but the beats are awful and the song writing is just wack.
This motherfukker has the best producers sending him beats and always picks the worst ones when he does a track with them.
How do you have more dated beats than you did on your 2002 album?
I was even excited after the fake tracklist to hear Royce and Cordae
Tone Deaf might be the worst song I've heard this year.
