[ManuTP9]

plan on getting it friday

[Pistons < Spurs]

Dl'd it last week!:toast

[balli]

I'll probably never listen to it much and I absolutely ridicule the segment of our drug abusing population who take pills. But damn, that's one cool album cover.

[InRareForm]

great cd, hard to listen to because of the content matter tho, but eminem does a great job on this cd. His flow and rhyme schemes are superb on this. Every song has it's own identity. This cd is really like a soundtrack for a horror movie. Dr. Dre's beats are well done on this as well.

4 stars out of 5.

stand out tracks: medicine ball, deja vu, Beautiful, and Underground

[SA210]

I love Beautiful and Underground :tu

[Frenzy]

it was not his best. 7 out of 10

is 3AM on that cd? i like that song

yup, it is on there.

[monosylab1k]

Dre's beats are top notch, and Marshall still has skill, but the subject matter is so predictable it's retarded. It's seriously like he just had a checklist and made sure everything that makes a typical Eminem album was on there.

"Bitch about my mom, bitch about my life, make fun of Christopher Reeve, say faggot a few times, Paul, Steve Berman, Ken Kaniff, throw 50 a bone, and we're out"

his retarded ass fake accents are unbearably bad too. it's like he doesn't take his work seriously anymore.

Overall a C, but only because of Dre's beats.

Yup, shows his genius in recognizing his fanbase in his music. :toast

[dirk4mvp]

I'm going to buy it probably.

[dirk4mvp]

But not for that one song.

[dirk4mvp]

so crack a bottle

[dirk4mvp]

and make your body wobble.

[tp2021]

I'd give it a 5 or 6. The hooks on most the songs are pretty bad. To me, parts of Dre's beats clash at times with everything else going on in the track. I'd have to say Hello has the best rhythm and synchronicity thoughout, with the beat, music, and Em's delivery all blending together wonderfully.I hope Relapse II is better. But Relapse is still better than Encore, and the more I listen to it, the more it grows on me. I'm surprised you guys seem to like it so much though. The main thing I take away from this is that Em can still flow, so at least his ability isn't the problem. I remain optimistic as I said for the follow up.

[Kori Ellis]

I like old eminem, when he used to rap about Christina Aguilera.

I think he raps about both Christina Aguilera and Lindsay Lohan on this album :downspin:

[Kori Ellis]

It's not a bad album, but I don't like his new fake accent. It's like when Madonna decided she was British.

[SA210]

I think he raps about both Christina Aguilera and Lindsay Lohan on this album :downspin:

And Mariah :lol

[timvp]

I downloaded it about a week ago and although I'm an Eminem defender in the flame wars, I don't really like Relapse. It started growing on me at first but it's such a shallow album that it's boring already.

Eminem's rhyme scheme and his flows are pretty damn awesome in some tracks and Dre's beats are above average, but it just doesn't all come together. Eminem usually has repetitive themes but he took it to a whole new level on this album. It seemed like he was either whining about his mom, emoing about his life, talking about the pills he pops and reinforcing the fact that he had a long layoff. The talk about about the pills and the layoff are the most annoying. Rapping about every type of pill in existence isn't impressive after about the second listen and mentioning you've been gone and this is your comeback 23235230572304712 times gets damn old.

He's damn talented but it just sounds like Eminem has lost his fire. When he was motivated early on in his career, he was gold. Now that fire isn't very consistent at all and I think he's finished as a top notch emcee. Eminem's skill is there but that's about it. He had a good run but it happens to just about every rapper.

Regarding his voice, it didn't really bother me. His regular voice isn't a strong point so changing it up is moot to me.

Overall, I'd give it about a C or a C-. I wouldn't rate any track in his top 20 to 25 tracks of all-time.

Pretty fair assessment. Relapse sucks

[mavs>spurs2]

I like "beautiful" and "underground" though

[Bukefal]

Didnt he rap about jessica simpson and Alba? He also said that he has mixed feelings over him making fun of jessica since her boyfriend is that football player. He said he is his favourite player.

[KidCongo]

You get over hearing the countless drug references but I spose that's the theme for the album.

It's cool to have new material from him tho.

[InRareForm]

This CD is for fans of lyricism. It's like candy to those who appreciate the art of multi rhyme patterns. but like timvp and others have said, the content of the lyrics is tiresome.

The content of the lyrics is a pretty large part of "lyricism", so I can't say it's for fans of lyricism. But I'd agree in that this album would appeal to those who enjoy complex rhyme schemes. I'd say it's probably his best multisyllabic rhyming. Although the actual lyrics suffered at times due to his concentration on the schemes.




P.S.

Oh and that male child rape track is disgusting. I had to delete that song and reformat my computer after listening to it . . .

[DAF86]

It's not a bad album, but I don't like his new fake accent. It's like when Madonna decided she was British.

Nooo, please tell me that he doesn't use that horrible fake accent in all the songs.

[txallstar]

wack, talk shit about mom, check, talk shit about pop stars (who don't give a shit about him) and how great i am compared to them, check. bitch about my wife/ex wife/gf, whatever she is, check. come up with cheesy hooks check. wait that's every album. left over dre beats that were crap, check.

[KidCongo]

...Oh and that male child rape track is disgusting. I had to delete that song and reformat my computer after listening to it . . .

Insane, yep its full on, bit too extreme.

on chamillionaire.com it says. The End is Near June 3rd 09 could be the release of Venom or just a single i have no idea but i can't wait

[SA210]

chamillionaire>>>eminem


:lmao

[dirk4mvp]

I heard relapse today before I bought it. I'm glad I didn't. The only thing this album will help you with is getting ahead of the other students if you ever decide to become a pharmacist.



on chamillionaire.com it says. The End is Near June 3rd 09 could be the release of Venom or just a single i have no idea but i can't wait


I thought it was supposed to come out in March or something but it got delayed so I guess that's the album.

[dirk4mvp]

:lmao

I hope you're not serious. Eminem is terrible now.

[mavs>spurs2]

I hope you're not serious. Eminem is terrible now.

Eminem sucks today but so does MJ and he's still the best. Eminem is one of the best lyrically but I'm with you, I like Chamillionaire too, he's a beast.

My all time favorite Eminem song is Criminal and there's nothing on relapse that reminds me of that. I guess it just wasn't what I was expecting.

Yeah I'm not even buying the new cd, it sucks. But I won't discredit his other stuff though, he's a beast. Seems like he tried to hard to appeal to mainstream and put out some Lil Wayne quality bullshit which just isn't his style.

[sribb43]

chamillionaire>>>eminem, but koopa is taking way too long to drop Venom but when he does its gonna be great

+1..dude said Venom was going to drop in Feb put like all albums it got pushed back

[sribb43]

i want Dre's Detox album to drop......hopefully 2009 is the year

[Cry Havoc]

IRF, check your profile.

[Cry Havoc]

Yeah, this is a decent CD, but there are really no standout songs, which is disappointing.

I'd actually rate it behind Encore right now. Encore probably didn't have the lyrical richness that this CD does, but the hooks were awesome and extremely biting.

I really think Eminem doesn't have nearly as much that pisses him off anymore. I bet if something extremely crazy happened in his life, it would probably allow him to put out another scintillating record like MM. Right now just about the only thing that ticks him off is how stupid Hollywood is. :lol

[InRareForm]

LOL @ people who think eminem has lost it.

[IronMexican]

This CD kinda sucked. I, like everyone else, liked a lot of Em's olders stuff.

[Spur-Addict]

Heard it last night.

Trash.

[Rip-Hamilton32]

got it yesterday and its not bad but his other albums were better

[ManuTP9]

i liked this album, my 2 fav songs are 3am and Bagpipes from Baghdad.

[Rip-Hamilton32]

i can't really get into any of these songs i keep wanting to push next on my ipod

[mookie2001]

haley my baby remix screwed and chopped goes hard, thats underground though

[DAF86]

Yeah, this is a decent CD, but there are really no standout songs, which is disappointing.

Deja vu and Beatiful are right there with Em's best songs IMO.

You're crazy, Encore was awful. Relapse isn't Em's best album but I think it's pretty decent, definitely better than Encore.

I think his main problem is that people got tired of hearing always the same: his mom, daughter, ex-wife, etc. if "relapse" would have been his first album a lot of people would be like: "damn, who is this? this guy is good!"

He should try wrting about other stuff, get a little more political maybe or tell some more stories a la "stan".

[Rip-Hamilton32]

chamillionaire's site now says "the end becomes clear" 06-12-09

[dirk4mvp]

neat.

[Heath Ledger]

Free music is great even if it ain't ya feel me?

[Rip-Hamilton32]

On June 3, Chamillionaire himself announced that the album would not come out, thus confirming speculation that it would not be released.

apparently he canceled Venom. still looking for a link

[monosylab1k]

You're crazy, Encore was awful.

:tu Encore was total crap.

I actually hate Encore so much I might call it the worst album I've ever owned in my entire life. And I've owned a Hootie & the Blowfish album.

[tp2021]

I think I stopped listening to Relapse before it officially came out.

[Rip-Hamilton32]

neat.

it was his new site which is pretty good, and there is a new countdown in 8 days "the end becomes real"

Relapse is very good compared to the rap that's been coming out the last few years such as lil wayne, jeezy, and all this voice pitch computer bs, and all the r&b god awful stuff. Now compared to his others, better than encore but 4th overall. Id say

1-MMLP (one of best rap cds EVER)
2-Eminem Show (classic)
3-SSLP (classic)
4-Relapse (good)
5-encore (avg)

I agree with timvp that the lyrics do get a bit old, how many pills can you name in one damn cd? Well he just set the record, and yea that insane song i don't ever listen to, just pointless. I'd say though this is kind of eminems cd at "horror rap", lots of the songs are fantasies/dilusions about him killing people graphically...and at first i was a little turned off but his lyrics are dare i say refreshing compared to money, bitches, bling, blah-blah-blah all that you hear on radio ever...and I love em for that, he does make his rap more personal and not so disposable. I guess i like quite a few more tracks than others on here. I really enjoy listening thru the cd stopping on these songs:
2-3 am
6-Hello
8-same song and dance
10-Medicine ball
12-stay wide awake
16-deja vu
18-crack a bottle (sometimes)
20-underground

I guess im going to rate the cd a 4.25/5 because his wordplay is just so much better than other rappers and dres beats are top notch on the tracks i listed.
Hes one of the only rappers that can throw down a verse where i have to go back and be like no f'ing way-so quick-and so genius

Eminem sucks today but so does MJ and he's still the best. Eminem is one of the best lyrically but I'm with you, I like Chamillionaire too, he's a beast.

Did you seriously just compare Em to Michael Jordan?

:lol

[mookie2001]

which song is the one about molestation?
thats my fourth favorite behind the song about his mom, haley and ex wife

[mavs>spurs2]

Did you seriously just compare Em to Michael Jordan?

:lol

Yes. Just because his last cd was kind of trash doesn't mean that the man didn't have talent.

[Spur-Addict]

Not MJ like talent.

[monosylab1k]

Yeah Eminem is a lot more like Larry Bird.

So what do you think about this new Eminem song?

It has a catchy hook but not much else.

P.S: I fucking hate that accent.

Is the song about Mariah Carey downloadable somewhere?
