This is false because Dre produced Music To Be Murdered By with a bunch of beats co produced by other dudes.

i actually decided to see where exactly he went "wrong" so to speak

i put on 'infinite' (not bad, just forgettable), 'sslp' (easily his best), 'mmlp' (same shyt but with woe-is-me bs), and i got all the way to "soldier" on 'the eminem show' before i just could not take it anymore lol

like as much as he called ja fake pac or whatever, "soldier" is the worst 2pac impression ive ever heard. i can practically hear him tying on the du-rag. shyt is corny as fukk

i actually didnt mind marshall when he was rapping about trailer park hoes or shrooms or vicodins and homosexuals, but the 2pac impression makes me hate him

this specifically:

[Verse 1]
Never was a thug, just infatuated with guns
Never was a gangsta 'til I graduated to one
And got the rep of a villain, for weapon concealin'
Took the image of a thug, kept shyt appealin'
Willin' to stick out my neck for respect
If it meant life or death, never live to regret what I said
When you're me, people just wanna see if it's true
If it's you—what you say in your raps, what you do
So they feel it's part of your obligation to fulfill
When they see you on the streets, face to face, are you for real?
In confrontation, ain't no conversation, if you feel
You're in violation, any hesitation'll get you killed
If you feel it, kill it; if you conceal it, reveal it
Being reasonable'll leave you full of bullets, pull it
Squeeze it 'til it's empty; tempt me, push me, pussies
I need a good reason to give this trigger a good squeeze

[Chorus]
(I'm a soldier)
These shoulders hold up so much
They won't budge, I'll never fall or fold up
(I'm a soldier)
Even if my collarbones crush or crumble
I will never slip or stumble

hmm well ima disagree------one of his better songs off his best album of all time imo, Eminem show /8 mile era was where if his career kept going at that level he could have legit been the goat

nah i just meant for ME that was all i can take. if you like it, cool :yeshrug:

im kinda surprised i hate early em a lot less than i thought. his early albums are a little more honest. he started whining on MMLP and apparently never stopped until he moved on to making Narcotic Anonymous-core bullshyt self-help music that he started doing on Recovery. i swear he made that album for ex junkies and single dads to cry to :pachaha:

dude really loves patting himself on the back for raising a kid. who wants to listen to some old white guy rap about what a great dad he is? seriously who is that shyt for???

He only hates because it didn’t connect among the casual listeners and critics didn’t cling to it like they had his previous work

He should to release all of the songs from Relapse 2
As much as I'd love to hear Insult To Injury, it's not happening lol. The most he's doing is throwing Relapse fans a bone like Framed or rebranding those Dre beats in his current style. Including all the songs that gradually leaked over the years, we have like 40ish songs from that era and I'm content with that.

Oh I know he ain’t revisiting a Relapse type of album

His team won’t allow it lol

When we have any of these discussions about this album. The big 3. Or anything rly right now you realize how much the genre is just dying. No new big artists. No creativity. Nothing pushing the culture foward shyts dead



Yes there is very good albums from legacy or older artists. Not what I’m taking about. Hard to imagine his 15 years ago it was the blog era

I don’t mind people who thought MTBMB was good but it wasn’t due to Dre’s great production

It actually had a balance of decent beats and it was lyrical for what it was. He also wasn't yelling in his raps.Plus he's tapping into other subjects like police brutality and it was during the pandemic.

Nas putting pac song on his album was blasphemous .. was the best verse in the entire album
