Stay Wide Awake 2nd Verse Appreciation

[BK The Great]

Agreed. It's a shame no one spoke to him about that when he was recording.

Shady/Aftermath/Interscope full of yes men that's why, anything is dope to them even if it really isn't.

Relapse would of been godly without those accents, some songs we're ruined because of them

I disagree but I get how some would look T it that way. The accents were an alter ego, the character he was playing on the album....the psycho. He just gave that person a voice....literally.

Yeah, as an album concept it would make sense. But if you just trying to chill out and listen to select songs on your playlist, it's offputting.

Man I don´t listen to that much Eminem but Relapse and Refill are the most played.

Em had been doing accents since Encore though...shyt just got kinda annoying. Relapse is classic to me though, i dont mind it compared to something like Ass Like That where he's in full accent being obnoxious as fukk.

Deja Vu needs an appreciation thread

 

[The_Dread_Dormammu]

Went to make a thread about this verse and saw I was beat to the punch…

Say what you want but got damn that song was dope.

 

[L $ C]

eminems rapping on relapse is a borderline top 5 performance bar wise for me

IWW- NAS
Resonable Doubt- Hov
Capitol Punishment- Pun
T&Y- Lupe
Relapse- Em

Been saying since it came out

But from a pure rapping standpoint, it's not going to get much better than this

 

[The Midnight Marauder]

Somebody used AI to take Em's accents out of the song.

 

[Handsome B. Wonderful]

Sounds so much better without the accents...

I really hated when he started the accents.

 

[Artificial Intelligence]

Somebody used AI to take Em's accents out of the song.

Reminds me ...look i need to finish the last season of Dexter

 

[SunZoo]

Somebody used AI to take Em's accents out of the song.

Nahhhhhh sounds flat without it.

Relapse is just fine with the accents, it's just different. Taking that little twang off Same song and dance kinda makes it lifeless.

That accent ruined what could've been his best album.

Song sounds much better without the accent, even though you can tell certain pronunciation of words were meant to have that accent.
