Writing it down is what makes you way better than those dudes, Em…

SECOND

Thats why em’s album is better than every hiphop album in the past 4 years. Sitting down and writing is the process called making music. standing there and spontaneously saying shit is not makin making thats freestylen and which is why majority of rappers suck including jay,wayne,t.i and serveral others. Banks-Writes and makes ill shit, Wayne-off the top and it sucks

RIGHT ON!!!!! TOMORROW!!!

(LEANS BACK AND TURNS “I NEVER KNEW I” WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY THE FUCK UP))

Em is definitly a writer and Wayne is no where near on his level. T.I. is tight and even doper when he writes. That whole I don’t write ish started by Jay-Z becuase Big did it is kinda played. Writing is an important craft and if you want hip-hop to be taken seriously you need to do more than just freestyle around the subject. Give me some bars of substance and entertain me.

Now as far as Em’s new album it is solid but the production drags it down a notch. Also I like the fact it is kinda a concept album but I wish Em would have done this more like a real concept album and left the gimmick songs in the bag, that coupled with better production would have lead to a above average record. (No I wont say classic because they are too hard to define in the early stages).

[...] just threw up some outtakes from Datwon’s interview with Marshall that didn’t make into the book. He speaks on Dre [...]

He’s right about the Wire. Once you start watchin that shit it’s over. Season 3 was the shit

Exactly, thats a big insight into why most of these dudes suck now a days. They all took that Biggie, Jay-Z mythology and ran with it, on some I can do it too type shit. Em’s songs are far better than a lot of these “off the head type dudes”.

Plus on some real shit, using Pro Tools or what ever program they use, and saying a ryme line by line on diffrent tracks then comping it down to one is standard practice in R&b and pop. But cheating in hip hop.

That means that your flow is not authentic and the stage performance’s never sound the same. If thats the way you write, thats fine. But go back and PERFORM that shit. Dont use the computer software as a crutch

Plies write his shit that’s what makes him better than any other rapper.

@ Mutada

& those fools don’t think that people can hear it in the final mix down. No Dice. I catch it often. Like, “damn, you couldn’t just alter your rhyme?”. NaS did it a couple of times when he said he “freestyled” a whole song.

i just listened to em’s new album for the 1st time and honestly i think it sucks big rhinocerous dick.

whoever thinks dre is the best producer in the game needs to kill themselves NOW! the production on thisalbum is the worse. who the fuck wants to listen to that shit?? i know i don’t.

lyrically, em is so fucking sick. i think it’s a shame that he wastes all that talent on talking about such dark shit. like for real, who wants to hear that shit??

who wants to hear about fucking men in the ass?? his subject matter is so dark and demonic that i honestly don’t care to listen to it.

eminem all pure shock value, that’s it. if he were to use his skills for some real subject matter man the sky would be the limit. but afterall, he’s just a sick. twisted cracker. i woiuld say it’s not his fault, but he obviously enjoys the sick shit he talks about.

his wordplay is most definitely unmatched, but at the end of the day, fuck eminem. and fuck dre faggot ass too!

*goes back to listening to “against all odds” - makaveli*

at the risk of sounding like a broke ass hater, that shit about rapping bout money is on point. I ain’t really got a problem with dudes celebrating their accomplishments but when that shit is the basis of your music and almost every track you do, I can’t connect with that enough to go out and buy your record unless your rhyme game is on some goat level shit.

I like this white boy cuz he’s 36, one of the wealthiest ppl to ever do this hiphop thing and he still dresses like a bum in jordan track suits and fitteds like it was 1999. He never lost love for the music and culture which makes him more hiphop than half these mainstream niggas

…dresses like a bum in jordan track suits and fitteds like it was 1999″

You could be referring to half the dudes in NYC.In 2009.

@Tony Grand

Yea, you can always tell the guys who do it too, because the words often overlap each other and you really dont hear any breaths. It sounds very unatural. Thats how a lot of TI’s stuff sounds, specialy his “double time flow” stuff. And that method is fine.. if the material is good. Because EM, uses that method on this album too (medicine ball), but his lyrics (on most of his stuff), are well put together.

@valdez

I cant fux with you on the Dre comments, he’s a beast. But diffrent strokes. On Em’s subject matter and content? Yea its extreamly demonic. So like all Eminem albums, I listen to the album front to back 2 or three times. To see what the lyrics, beats and mixes sound like. Than I get that shit off my Ipod, and dont listen again. You cant be listing to that shit day in and day out. No one is saying he should become a gospel rapper, but yea he could do some good if he changed up a bit.

(not that he’s never done “positive” songs…”sing for the moment” etc )

@ Mutada

I understand why they do it though, but you’re right, it’s still cheating to me.

Unless, it’s Slick Rick.

@ Grand$
@ Mutada

I used to engineer and half the dudes buying time would always say “Just punch me in”.

Then you hear them at a show and they’re out of breath after the first verse. The bad part is they ALL know they’re cheating. It got so bad for one group that I chopped and pasted their whole song! While they got high in the lounge.

The laziness of technology.

I engineer too and I really dont care if they wanna just punch in from where they stopped, because its like if you dont care that much about your own music where you wanna make it as best as you can, then why should you give a fuck if noone wants to fuck with you cuz they can tell how bad your shit sounds…just take the time to redo it..remember your candences and just take time…itll definately make a difference…..but thats the difference between rappers just doin this shit for fun and true hip-hop artists…

Some of Dre’s shit is garbage I must agree. His shit is just not complex enough for me. I’ve WAY better tracks from Mannie Fresh, Salaam Remi, and even Andre 3000. His shit is all MIDI keyboards and Casio beat patterns…

relapse.hottest album hands down everybody needs to go and cop it it was worth the wait.mr mathers has killed it again.fuck any em haters.R.i.p proof of d12

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

InfamouzMusic.com

^^ The New Eminem.

on the subject of ‘punchin in’ tht Grand$ is talkin bout….i jus wanted to say tht, didnt Em say tht he never like punched in cuz when him and Proof went to studio for recording, they couldnt afford more than 2-4 hours…also he said even after signin wit Dre, tht he jus went and recorded the song witout stoppin u kno and when Dre said u wanna punch out….if i remember he said somethin like ‘naw’. thts why Em is better than ‘cheatin’ artists lol

ps: hope this post works

Valdez and RiZob forgot to tell you they were laid off from Death Row Records.

I COMPLETELY AGREE W/ RENDER..

HE’S SECOND TO BEST SELLING ALBUMS NEXT TO PAC AND DOESNT RAP BOUT WHAT HALF THESE MAINSTREAM RAPPERS TALK ABOUT..

DUDE IS AS REAL AS IT GETS…

AS FOR RELAPSE, IT’S A HOT ALBUM TRUST ME.. WAY BETTER THAN ENCORE AND ON-PAR W/ EMINEM SHOW.

AS FOR THE PERSON THAT SAID HIS ‘DARK’ CONTENT IS WHACK, LISTEN TO ‘STAY WIDE AWAKE’ AND PROVE ME WRONG…

So dark nd so cold my friends dont know this otha side of me
Theres a monster inside of me its quite ugly nd it fright-uns me
But they cant see what I can see theres a vacancy in my tummy
Its makin me play hide n seek like jason im so hungry
Shes naked see no privacy but I can see she wants me
So patiently I try to be but see why does she taunt me
Pull the drapes nd she goes rite to sleep
And I creep rite thru the front seat
So patently but silently cuz I kno that shes sound asleep
Whos wakin me so violently nd why is he on top of me
Hes rapin me she trys to scream somebody please get him off me
Hes tapin me hes bitin me hes laughin likes its funny
Shes scrapin me shes fightin me shes scratching like some dumb freak
Escapin me no vicousy I might just be Ted Bundy
Or satin gee what a site to see im dancin in my red panties
Im crazy but its alight with me nd life can be so empty
Stay away from cuz im dancin to quite a different drum beat

BEAST! HIS DELIVERY AND FLOW AND LYRICS ARE OFF THE FUCKING WALL.. HANDS DOWN BEST ALBUM OF THE YEAR

SUPPORT THIS ONE FOLKS.. I KNO I WILL

if you suck at rhyming, you just suck. you can write it down or freestlye it. It doesn’t matter. 1. you do get a better feeling for a “free”style because it is free and pulls you in with a untainted energy from the sublime. Writing is more methodical and also has good points. in the end if ur talentless, u suck. if em is the best album in the last four years u obviously slept on a lot of classic, and are lost in time.

Could all the Em fans just stop saying its the best album in years.
Its really not that good and it does not have the same impact of his early work.
I get it your tired of rappers being happy and talking about money women cars selling drugs and guns. Thats kool your entitled to your opinion.
But when you say this album is the best in the past 5 years your doing yourself and hip-hop a disservice.

Relapse is way better then any of the Carters or any other albums i can really think about in the last 2 or 3 years, I liked American Gangster, The last 2 Game albums and Young Bucks, Buck the world. Way better then any kanye. Em is untouchable he raps about sick crazy shit to show he can rhyme sceam any scenario. He keeps it real, i can recognize with his addiction problem as well, many others can no matter what your addicted to, just like some aare addicting to haterade…

fuck lil wayne that nigga is garbage puts out the worst songs he is such a sell out how can u be the best rapper alive when all he does it put out pop songs? dude sucks he needs to just overdose on some more texas tea or whatever and get it over with

Lol I was pretty fucked to hear STEVE BERMAN return with a bulletproof vest & a gat. I couldn’t sytop laughing. Em is back that’s wat we should celebrate cos we’ve had alot of substandard hip hop albums in his period so maybe cos one of the best is back, adas will increase their repertoire. Besides GRADUATION we haven’t had a majestic hip hop album so welcome back SLIM SHADY

@ valdez

Well put muy nigga!

LOL that’s some funny shit… just what i was thinking..

^^thanks fam. just speaking on how i really feel, that all.

He’s still a overhyped cracker!!! And he’s lying saying he doesn’t know how to use a computer, you produce music, so how the fuck don’t you know how to use a computer!!!!!!!!!!!

sounds like a regular dude to me. no frills. music aside - that’s what’s up

musically - his shit isn’t for everybody, but have to respect it for the consistency…whether you feel it or not.

at Valdez:

These ignorant mofo’s dont know the half bout the Rockfellers, Rothschilds or the Morgans…..Glad to see somebody up on it tho..and I’m only 25…Our generation is ignorant dont even waste ya breath for argument to these fuk boys

ok real talk and this is it. on a scale from 1-10, you got listen and read the words. em fucking killed relapse lyrically. lyrics i would give a 9.5. delivery is what everybody is not liking to well. i give it a 7. we already know he can hang with the same ole 1.2. but his rhyming patterns are good. how many others can do this? he is showing his skills. its like playing ball. first you can dunk then you get fancy and windmill that bitch. a lot of people can dunk but a lot cant windmill. i aint saying this is the best em ever or it has more or even the same impact. what i am saying finally we have some good music to listen too. something where the song is lyrical and talks about one subject. not ice women money and guns all in one. wait till the next one comes out. em doesnt have to prove shit he already has. he is the jordan of hip hop. a lot say he is top 5. and some say number 1. he is just around showing he still has and no one can really check him. what a great tuesday. listening to the new jadakiss on the way to get the 2 cds that complete hip hops come back. relapse and blackout2.

@ Valdez

Dude, chill. If you don’t like Eminem so much, leave this comment board alone, you ain’t changing nobody’s mind and just showing how much of an uneducated, irresponsible, no respect black male. Are you seriously 29? You act like a whiny-ass 17 year old with your attitude n shit; grow up and learn to have some respect and common decency.

All i really see from you is a buncha racism. I’m not claiming you’re FULLY a racist, but you’ve got some anger and should probably seek some counseling, or move into a better part of the USA that isn’t experiencing so much “racism”. You probably wouldn’t be pulled over by cops in your caddy if it wasn’t bumpin bass and had rims, why are you attempting to BE the ‘black’ stereotype by doing that. Again, grow up. Obama is an inspiration, how dare you deny that? yeah gov’t is corrupt, but give the man a chance to fix it. Be respectful that little black kids that are more or less 10 yrs old want to be like Obama, even if he is mulatto.

Get THAT Red and Meth

If i was a rapper the one thing i would not rap about is money!!! It’s so pointless! You here Lil Wayne and Cash Money artist doing it!, You G Unit do it, You here Young Jeezy and P. Diddy do it and most of the Dirrty South doing it and that only covers 25% rappers! It gets old and i notice rappers giving broke pple sh!t about having no money or not having as much as what they do !.. I bet if your best friend bragged about money all the f*cking time! You would hate and envy that person not only because their rich, just because their arigent! Rapping about money is the wrong move when coming into music industry!!! Rapping about Rims and Cars is basically under the same catigory!

I have to agree about rappers freestyling these days. The music is appealing but after awhile it’s just a bunch of cliches. There’s no substance to rap these days, just hooks and beats. As far as the rapping about money…In the words of Smokey from Friday “Niggaz are broke these days” (leans waaay back and takes a puff and barks it up)

LISTEN YOU IGNORANT MOFO’S(esp. u Valdez)
Yes racism does still exist. But it is more a low class/upper class thing nowadays! It’s more about finances than color in todays society. The rich hate the poor cause they don’t trust them to be decent human beings, the poor hate the rich because they look down on them and judge them without knowing them(the def. of racism). But the middle class doesn’t have anywhere near the hatred in them of the other two. If drive a caddy w/rims u gonna get profiled whatever color u are. You are profiled because of the CAR not who’s driving it. “REPARATIONS”, are u f’ing serious. That kind of thinking keeps racism alive. No doubt there are more poor minority citizens than poor white citizens but if a white dude lives in your hood or you live in the white dudes hood your opportunities are gonna be the same. F’d up for both of you cause you’re both poor, not cause you black or he’s white. If in your mind you feel like because you’re the minority you”ll have less chances to succeed than you won’t succeed. Act like a decent human being and you’ll be treated as a decent human being unless the person your associating with isn’t him/herself a decent human being.

Enough about that, on to the album. This isn’t Em or Dre’s best work but it has way more substance than 95% of what comes out nowadays. His wordplay and flow are as good as ever but the subject matter is downright frightening. How anyone can have those types of thoughts and not be a serial killer is beyond belief, but that’s em for ya. i would have loved for him to have more songs like “square dance” and “criminal” and “rock bottom” which display his sick thoughts in a lighter way, but these last four years for him have obviously been dark times. Even though this is not his best album i still like it better than “encore” which i feel was his weakest of the 4 solo albums. “beautiful” and “stay wide awake” are my 2 favorite with “same song and dance” coming a close third. That “tanya” skit leading up to same song and dance is classic Em storytelling. anyways i”m glad he’s back. Watch out for that new Wale album coming in july and don’t waste your time on that new Paul Wall or Busta Bus they aint nuthin fresh. i’m out, thanks for reading. Los

xxlmag the eminem interview is sick eminem dont need to talk shit about rims and money keep it real not like the others who pop shit and end up oweing taxes crazy shit eminem ralbum is sick 3am classic

Eminem is a fuckin savage. If you take the time to read all of his recent interviews and see what he talks about you will understand his album.
He is crazy with the twists and turns that he takes up and around his past addiction to drugs is crazy. He is officially the best rapper i have ever heard in my life.
Writing definitely makes you a better rappers you can take hip-hop more serious and it gives time to include intellectual writing in the songs.

The best MCs do both..freestyle and write songs(stories)!! Em does both. Respect that..so does Nas and the RZA!

you know what i mean?…we get it em…u dont know how to put together an understandable sentence
