lookin' back now from an artistic standpoint, how interestin' was eminem's relapse album?

[I love Latina women]

today marks 5 years since this album was released and it don't even feel like it

eminem came back spittin' like he'd never fallen off with encore and been away from hip hop for a few years. dr. dre hooked him up with those beats and production. it was great to see dr. dre handle the production from start to finish for the first time in a long time again

although from a commercial standpoint this album was the biggest sellin' hip hop album that year, it wasn't the critical successful album his first 3 albums were and a lot of that had to do with him repeatin' himself again to an extent and time had moved on. but what i liked about it was the fact that at that particular time he proved that he still had what it took to make a comeback

all in all, relapse is a really interestin' album because of the time and gap from which his last album encore had been released and how things had changed since then and what he had to prove as an artist

[the rhyme king]

Fe-fi-fo-fum, I think I smell the scent of a placenta
I enter Central Park, it's dark; it's Winter in December
I see my target, put my car in park and approach a tender
Young girl by the name of Brenda and I pretend to befriend her
Sit down beside her like a spider, hi there girl, you mighta
Heard of me before, see whore, you're the kind of girl that I'd a-
-ssault and rape then figure why not try not to make your p*ssy wider?
fukk you with an umbrella, then open it up while the shyt's inside ya
I'm the kinda guy that's mild but I might flip and get a little bit wilder
Impregnate a lesbian, yeah, now let's see her have triplets and I'll di-
-sintegrate them babies as soon as they're out her with formalde-
-hyde and cyanide, girl you can try and hide, you can try to scream louder
No need for no gunpowder, that only takes all the fun outta
Murder and I'd rather go "vinn-vinn!" and now you see just how the
fukk I do just what I do when I cut right through your scalp
shyt, wait a minute I mean skull, my knife seems dull, pull another one out

To me this is when he was flowing at his best. Beats were on point and the rhyme schemes he had in some of the songs was disgusting (3 a.m., Stay Wide Awake), A good storytelling track (Deja Vu-should have been a single) and a nice addition with Refill.

At the same time, it's also much more experimental (as far as his flow and delivery) compared to his previous projects. I think this in a way was him trying to find direction after the previous album, Encore

the rhyming was ridiculous on stay wide awake 3 am the way he was bending words slant rhyming complex rhyme patterns rhyming more then one syllable it was all ridiculous just musically it was ass i did not buy that album.

 

[Capo Dei Capi]

Never heard it stopped listened to Em after The Eminem Show doubt I missed much

 

[RatherUnique]

The stupid yelling/accents/weird flow was wack. MMLP Em was godly to me. But since he started doing all that nonsense i found it hard to tolerate.

 

[Scoop]

Technically impressive. Subject matter got old (and creepy).

8/10

 

[mortuus est]

the we made you song is the best track on the album tbh

 

[I love Latina women]

MMLP Em was godly to me.

the marshall mathers lp is his best album

 

[b@squ1@t]

and this album is the last one that his voice and flow sounded right even with the accents...dude's voice changed or some shyt once he got off the dope
