WTF did Eminem did again?

[Delenda Carthago]

I'm friends with the monster
That's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're trying to save me
Stop holding your breath
And you think I'm crazy

I'm actually not sure if this is a sarcastic joke thread or not. (it is right?)

[Comrade Jacob]

More pop bull. Not like the original Eminem at all. Is this even rap music?

I am obviously overreacting a bit, but seriously, I love the new songs. They all have something unique that there is to love. My personal favorites so far from MMLP2 is Bezerk and Rap God. But I think there is gonna be a nice album.

As someone at around his 30s that is a "hiphophead" since teen age, as someone that has official T-shirts from Psycho Realm to Mood and owns Material Intonarumori twice, as someone that has seen Masta Ace, Cypress Hill, Method Man,Jedi Mind, Raekwon, Cappadona& Icewater, Dilated Peoples, Swollen Members, Gza, Mc Freestyle, Necro, Sabac Red, KRS ONE, Boots Riley, and a shitload more artists live, and so on and so on... I have to say that to me, this is something that hiphop has to offer nowdays.Good worked songs about important issues like dealing with psychological issues. "Gangsta hood" shit no more. Its played out as fuck.



(btw I dont act out on this post, I m just giving a picture that I mnot alien to hiphop. dont take me wrong :P)

[The Feral Underclass]

Emo-rap.

I like the song though, but only because I have a crush on Rhianna.

[Reticential]

=O a song that's not about killing his partner? Must be a ghost writer...

Berzerk was cheesy as fuck. Rap God had good flow but the lyrics and instrumentals were dumb.



Since The Eminem Show, he has gotten increasingly cornier. Of course, Eminem is probably one of the most technically skilled rappers ever and the first two LP's will always guarantee his mark being left, but he's lost it a while ago imho.



He's also incredibly misogynist. At first it was towards the "Kim"figure and his mother, but now his lyrics reflect general contempt for women. Not to mention references to physical violence against them that I feel would not be acceptable if it wasn't for his "angry emotional white guy" persona. I couldn't imagine Lil Wayne, Kanye West, or some other commercial African-American or non-white rapper reference 'tying a woman to a bed, pouring gasoline on her and lighting the whole house on fire because she argued with you' on a song accompanied by the vocals of an abuse victim without public outrage

He's gone from dramatic to melodramatic.

People have written songs like that before, off the top of my head I can think of the Geto Boys, who wrote about stuff like rape at knifepoint followed by murder, etc.

I guess the Rihanna thing adds an extra element to it.

Yeah. Screw him.

[VDS]

Used to love Eminem so much. Now he's just a shell of himself. I mean, I'm glad he's in a better place and I don't wish for him to go back to the life he used to live....BUUUUUUT...

No drugs, no soul.

Edit: That said, I don't dislike this song. I mean Rihanna on the hook is just everything I hate about new Eminem, and a lot of hip-hop in general, not to mention that the lyrics for the hook are just...I mean, so bad. I hate those lyrics that sound like a teenager wrote them with a topic in mind, but with no experience in subtly or originality.

Naming this MMLP2 is an insult. MMLP was great, and this sounds like it won't even be better than Recovery. Not deserving of the name, not on the same level. Not even a little bit.

[Delenda Carthago]

Naming it MMLP2 is foul, sure.There is no relation. But this is the music I can imagine Eminem doing today. The man is in his 40s. The song I didnt cared for, even though it had a cool beat, was Survival.That was really lyricaly weak, and for no reason. I mean, I can undertand doing songs like Monster today, but if you wanna go hard, go hard. On Relapse he had 3 songs that killed everything(Cold as Ice, On Fire, Almost Famous). On this album he has not that kind of songs. Petty, sure.

.....or when Too $hort rapped about killing a woman by choking on his cum

yeah, but were those songs supposed to be radio single love songs? I actually liked it better when he made songs like Kim where you thought "this guy is fucking crazy", but his more recent songs - such as the one with Rihanna - that are supposed to be about relationship issues and more commercially appealing or whatever are more reminiscent of - what TAT mentioned - emo and nu metal.
