They were both wack but relapse was clearly the worst. He kept rapping in that horrible Mexican Triumph the comedy dog voice throughout the whole thing. shyt was garbation
I can get used to the voice. Those Recovery punchlines were terrible.

And I'll take dark Em songs over forced collabs with Pink and Rihanna. Relapse also had better production imo. Recovery sounds like he collabed with every hot producer at the time and picked their worst beat.

Coming from a big Eminem fan I have to say I thought that shyt was wack as soon as I heard it. Between the terrible and forced punchlines, the screaming and forced emotion, and the horrible lyricism the album is possibly his worst ever. Dudes was like this is his most lyrical album ever :russ: anybody who has followed his career or even has the slightest idea of what real lyriscim is should've known right off the bat that this shyt was wack and nowhere NEAR his first 3 albums.

I remember when it first came out and dudes were saying it was a classic I was like :what: kinda funny how my opinion right off the bat usually becomes the general consensus after the hype dies down and all the Stans and reactionary ass nikkas fall back.

post a song that is on par story telling wise/ lyrically and overall matches the quality of "going through changes" since you knwo what real lyricism is :manny:

should be easy for you right?????????


telling a story about overdosing and being on your death bed reflecting about it is "forced emotion" :what:



Lately I really, feel like I'm rolling for delph like Philly,
I feel like I'm losing control of myself, I sincerely,
Apologize if all that I sound like is I'm complaining,
But life keeps on complicating, an' I'm debating,
On leaving this world, this evening, even my girls,
Can see I'm grievin', I try and hide it,
But I can't, why do I act like I'm all high and mighty,
When inside, I'm dying, I am finally realizing I need help.
I can't do it by myself, too weak, 2 weeks I've been having ups and downs,
Going through peaks and valleys, dilly dallying,
Around with the idea, of ending the shyt right here.
I'm hatin' my reflection, I walk around the house tryin' to fight mirrors,
I can't stand what I look like, yeah, I look fat, but what do I care?
I give a fukk, only thing I fear, is Hailie,
I'm afraid if I close my eyes I might see her,
shyt..

[Chorus]

[Eminem]
I lock myself in the bedroom, bathroom, nappin' at noon,
Yeah dad's in a bad mood, he's always snappin' at you.
Marshall what happened at you, you can't stop with these pills,
And you've fallen off with your skills, and your own fans are laughin' at you.
It become a problem you're too p*ssy to tackle, get up,
Be a man, stand, a real man woulda had this shyt handled.
Know you just had your heart ripped out and crushed,
They say Proof just flipped out, homie just swift out and bust,
Nah, it ain't like Doody to do that,
He wouldn't fukkin' shoot at, no-body, he fights first,
But dwellin' on it only makes the night worse,
Now I'm poppin Vic's, perks and Methadone pills.
Yeah Em, tight verse, you killed it,
fukkin' drug dealers hang around me like "yes man",
And they gon' do whatever I says when, I says it,
It's in their best interest to protect their investment.
And I just lost my fukkin' best friend, so fukk it, I guess then...

[Chorus]

Don't know what I'm gonna do, but I just keep on going through changes...

My friends can't understand this new me,
That's understandable man, but just think how bananas you'd be,
You'd be an animal too, if you were trapped in this fame and caged in it like a zoo.
And everybody's lookin' at you, what you want me to do,
I'm startin' to live like a recluse and the truth is,
Fame startin' to give me an excuse, to be at a all time low.
I sit alone in my home theatre, watchin' the same damn DVD,
Of the first tour, the last tour, he was still alive.
And it hurt sore, fast forward, sleepin' pills'll make me feel alright.
And if I'm still awake in the middle of the night,
I just take a couple more, yeah you're motherfukkin' right,
I ain't slowin' down for no one, I am almost homeward bound.
Almost in a coma, yeah homie come on, dole 'em out
Daddy, don't you die on me, daddy, better hold your ground.
fukk, don't I know the sound of that voice,
Yeah baby hold me down.

[Chorus]

[Eminem]
Wake up in the hospital, full of tubes, plus somehow I'm pullin' through.
Swear when I come back I'ma be bulletproof.
I'ma do it just for Proof, I think I should state a few,
Facts, cause I may not get a chance again to say the truth.
shyt it just hit me that what if I would notta made it through?
I think about the things I would have never got to say to you,
I'd never get to make it right, so here's what I came to do.
Hailie this one is for you, Whitney and Alaina too,
I still love your mother, that'll never change,
Think about her every day, we just could never get it together.
Hey, wish there was a better way, for me to say it,
But I swear on everything, I'd do anything for her on any day.
There are just too many things, to explain, when it rains,
Guess it pours, yes it does, wish there wasn't any pain.
But I can't pretend there ain't, I ain't placin' any blame,
I ain't pointin' fingers, heaven knows i've never been a saint.
I know it just feels like we just pissed away our history,
But just today, I looked at your picture, almost if to say,
I miss you self consciously, wish it didn't end this way.
But I just had to get away, don't know why,
I don't know what else to say, I guess I'm..

Shame on me, but the production on Recovery failed sonically. The producers tried to make the drums on many of the tracks sound rugged and vintage but it didn't match the polished synths. Much of this sound is also on the slaughterhouse LP. Many of you know EXACTLY what I'm talking about. Sad that I've fallen into that crowd of folks who won't listen if the beat is sub par. :whoa:

I know the album is a lil emo but i thought it was straight. i was looking at that Stay Wide Awake thread and people were shytting on Recovery something terrible. Its funny people were praising Relapse and Eminem disowned that album on Recovery.

It was whack when it came out.

I shouldn't even say it was garbage, because I probably only listened to it twice. It was boring as fukk, and there ain't no denying that.
