A eminem thread :what: nikka has one good album.

SSLP. MMLP. TES. Relapse.

That's 4 good albums.

Even the 2 bad ones have some quality songs. Encore is weak, but how many rappers have a song as good as "Yellow Brick Road" even on their best albums?

Dude's done now though.

And?

That's like pretty much all of Recovery. That is on paper the lyrics look good but horrible delivery (shouting) and some horrible metaphors/punchline make it a weak Eminem song. Oh and a girl singing the hook.

But I want you to doubt me, I don't want you to buh-lieve
Cause this is something that I must use to suc-ceed

And if you don't like me then fukk you!
Self es-teem must be fukking shooting through-the-roof cause trust me
My skin is too thick and bul-let proof to touch me

I can see why the fukk I disgust you
I must be a-llergic to failure cause everytime I come close to it
I just sneeze, but I just go atchyou then achieve!

Devils night was dope as fukk too.

I doubt the album sounds like that survivor shyt though...he has never really done two albums back to back with the same vibe. After relapse came out and he dropped "despicable" that kinda made it apparent what type of rhyming style he was gonna run with for the album. All these tracks we've gotten in between still sound like recovery, I doubt he's been working on an album for over a year that will be that similar to what some of this throw away sounding shyt is.

And to be fair, I only disliked recovery so much because I wanted more relapse, it's some dope shyt on there as well, just not MY type of music, I distinctly remember a lot of cats that didn't like em actually gravitate to that album because it sounded more ordinary/top 40-ish.

Rain Man was dumb but his flow was crazy

Those others songs are some of the worst "rap" songs ever recorded and it truly boggles my mind to this day that interscope actually okayed that shyt
