Did Eminem's new album live up to your expectations..? How do you rate this album compared to Encore or The Eminem show?

to say it exceeded my expectations is an understatement...I c/s this album to the fullest, realistically i project it as being a 4.5/5...right now i got it at 4/5, but who knows. Ems lyrics and flow are so consistent throughout the album, it has a chance of being a classic.

Are the versions floating around retail?

You must be on some serious crack right now......

Roth put out a better album than Relapse......

I'm on track #12, have heard two others to come, and I haven't really liked any song besides "My Mom"

And unless "Insane" was therapeutic, I don't know what the hell he was thinking putting that on the CD...

Lol, you didn't like that gay **** either? :rofl:

I liked it but I expected to hear more of EM/Marshall but got all shady in this one. I think Em has really lost his mind this time.

I wouldn't have trouble with gay lyrics by a gay rapper. That song was something different...

If it was something that really happened to Eminem and he wants to purge it through a song, I'd rather it be a bonus track or something, but I'd let it slide...

...if it's just imagined, it's irresponsible and unnecessarily ugly for the sake of shock value

Like on that real old Bizarre EP when he talks about abusing a little kid...I was like "too far"...

Technically(FROM A BEATS, FLOWS, CREATIVENESS ETC.) perspective, I think Relapse is a very good album.

But for me, the subject matter turned me off.........too weird for me.

thanks i'll check it out. In regards to the quality of the music from what people are saying so far, we can understand how he was affected by the death of Proof. Knowing that he played a part in Em's career according to Em..

Lol, check this review on ''Insane''

''how many of you will actually listen to the song Insane on the regular or a song enough for it to not be a skip track ?

how can you listen to this without earphones on ?

like i said in the other thread...
the fact that theres going to be hundreds of thousands of cunts listening to Insane loud as **** out their room windows and their cars and they wont even blink an eye or really take it into consideration because they are listening to Eminem is some other queer ****e.

i mean, shock value or not this ****e is ****in queer to the tenth power
atleast keep your American Psycho bull**** about woman not about sucking cum out of another guys arse and your letting your step dad give you one up the bum.''

a song where someone raps about being attacked by his stepfather is not "gay ****"

It's violent sexual deviance, but it's not gay

Wtf...when TRUTH said there's some "gay" content, i thought he meant EM was rapping about Gays in a condenscending manner

still tho, who wants to listen to that? LOL
I agree, I said the same thing...

If it's really a skeleton in Eminem's closet, that's one thing...but rapping it for the sake of rapping it...not much interest there for me...especially so early in the disc

I only liked "My Mom" (Slim Shady LP feel), "Old Times Sake" (minus the accent), "Beautiful" (why not 20 tracks like this?), "Crack a Bottle" (harmless enough)

the song, though, isn't a solemn song, it's got a tone like "Brain Damage" from the Shady LP...which it makes it a song for no one (who's not a pedophile)...except maybe for Eminem...

Beautiful is also the track that stood out in my mind.. Really dope track, as you said.. ''why not 20 tracks like this''

The Eminem show is eminem's best album. IMO

I liked "His Dream" and "Fallin" from the Asher Roth album too...so why's he rapping that he's the Blumpkin king on other songs on the disc?

why do white midwestern folks think they have to amp up the comedy to sell records? It's 2009 now...

Remember when eminem would make songs like sing for the moment? or till i collapse?

thats how i'll remember Eminem. Thats the real Eminem

I don't know, but i definietly see what you're saying. Those tracks you mentioned with Roth is also the tracks that had dept and some realness to it and not trying to fool the audience with some sort of cheap comedy lyrics.

Yeah, and not long after he dropped ''lose yourself'' and ''8 mile''

this song is very good, he should have made more songs like this.

i'm skimming through it. it's hit or miss. I'm really like "Stay wide awake" so far.

my expectations were **** and the album lived up to that LOL

lol im not sure how often ill listen to this, but from a technical perspective i think its a very good cd. I like it alot as of right now but its replay value is questionable. Its not an everyday cd, i might listen to it here and there, but I give Em alotta credit for this...he came back, and both his lyrics and flow are maxed out...they couldnt be any better. The beats are good, and the album flows well from one song to the next in my opinion. But i can see why someone wouldnt like this, easily.

I think this album will have to grow on me. It's decent and I'm a Em fan but maybe I'm getting to old for the off the wall **** ala Shady/Brotha Lynch hung ****, killing babies and eating them type ****.

i think its terrible... i like one song... beautiful.

Is this worse than Encore? Be honest. I can't imagine it's as bad as people say. But then again it wouldn't surprise me.

This album is ****in dope... Its WAAAAAY better than Encore, and I would put it on the same level as Eminem Show. Very good comeback by Mr. Mathers.

Beautiful >>> All the tracks on Deeper Than Rap

I liked it but I expected to hear more of EM/Marshall but got all shady in this one. I think Em has really lost his mind this time.

Relapse 1 - Shady point of view
Relapse 2 - Marshall point of view

i listened to the whole cd again, this morning while working out. I didnt like it as much as i did last night, but i still consider it a very good cd. Eminem killed it lyrically, and with his flow. The album flows smoothly....I project it as a 4.5/5....I see it being an album i like, but not one of my favorites. Thats kind of how i feel about Nas-Untitled, i consider it to be a very good album but not one of my favorites...still worth listening to sometimes.

Relapse will be a fun cd to listen to sometimes, but its made more for high school kids...not that its bad for someone in their 20's or at any age listen too, unless they're listening to it everyday. And one more thing, i dont see it being the type of the cd that gets much play in my ride. I would feel suspect driving around listening to eminem talking about jerking off to hannah montanna, and having his father rape him. I think its disgusting and hilarious at the same time that Eminem is willing to go that far.

There are some def skippers while in the whip, but there are some tracks on there you could bump... Beautiful, Underground, Stay Wide Awake, Old Times Sake... etc He should have left that Insane track on the cutting room floor though as some people cant even move past it... LOL oh well thats Em for you he is bound to rub some people the wrong way. He always has... **** if he didnt would it really be a good Em album?

Relapse 1 - Shady point of view
Relapse 2 - Marshall point of viewI sure am hoping so.

album is very solid, eminems best album since 8 mile.......it has skippable tracks, of course the content is very twisted, but beatwise and lyricswise it is on point......

im reading thru this board and i cant believe people dont like it......your probably turned off by the sick subject matter, just get past it and appreciate good music.....a song like fack was just shock value, relapse has good lyrics and beats behind the subject matter...

Eminem dropped the bomb, great album if you asked me.. You just gotta skip that *** track.

people need to realize something--the album is called relapse---you have to think it's going to be dark and controversial...this is em in a new state of mind--personally--i liked the album--he's showing something different but in a sslp/mmlp mode--it will be a hit or miss album.

his genius is still there lyrically and flow wise...i can't wait until it drops and relapse II drops...that mother****er can flow like no other...he's still though provoking--he has peaked but you guys have to stop living in the past--he'd get criticized for talking about the things he talked about in the past with people saying, "oh ****, he's talking about killing his mom again and his wife--taking shots at pop stars and boy bands--and in a way--i feel that's what he did a little in this album--but the album is relapse--evey song does go hand in hand in some capacity--he's showing you a defferent aura about him--he damn sure hasn't lost his edge---just wait unitl it drops may 19th to see what happens.

Yeah listenin to this it's just like most Em albums. Has some really ill tracks and some so so, that you'll listen to a little bit.

The lyrics are sick, crazy, and funny at the same time. His word play is sick as **** though. And his flow is still on point.

It's a way better album than Encore. I need to listen to this more and make a true assessment. But on the surface it's cool, not a classic, but it's cool.

man now he even lef saying its nice....I'm a long time Em fan, why don't I like it?

Idk. Music is all about preference. I've honestly haven't listened to any Em for a really long time. Like a long time.

I'm not saying it's great because it's not. But it's okay.

And it's by far his best produced album. Because most of his past albums take a hit with some of the production.

I probably should listen one more time.....

Favorite tracks so far: 3am, My Mom, Medicine, Old Time Sake, and Deja Vu.

that my mom song, goes hard......i like that one.

Favorite tracks so far: 3am, My Mom, Medicine, Old Time Sake, and Deja Vu.

I got:
Beautiful
Deja Vu
Old Time sake
Underground (crazy beat)

Pretty much these four tracks I got on repeat.

I wonder what happened to that track "I think I'm having a Relapse."

It leaked but never the full version. I thought that song was good.

I remember that ****^ he was talking something about hella demonic chronic....lol or sum ****

People who don't like it will change their mind once they read about how much it sells.

I've bought all of eminem's other albums. i've been a long time fan. i'm not sure i'm going to buy this one. cuz i only like 3-4 songs off it. dont know if its worth it.

I agree tho, its going to sell like crazy. its already #8 on amazon's sales list......

My favorites:

Same Song And Dance
Beautiful
Stay Wide Awake
3am
Old Times Sake

relepse is calssic

it's kind of like the slim shady lp but more edgier imo, but that's hard ot say because the sslp was sick...i believe relapse 2 is going to be a combination of infinite and the mmlp and will go hand and hand with relapse 1. it will sell like crazy also...

my favorite song off of the album is deja vu---that song is just lyrically insane--em is such an amazing lyricist--his flow is so brilliant--he keeps rhyming within rhymes with rhymes--it's amazing...he can rhyme anything and make it sound so good...that's a true lyricist--big l to the 10th power is eminem...

Eminem has fell off the deep end! The man should end his career with some dignity and call it quits.

If you can't respect that, your whole perspective is wack...

If you bought Encore, how could you not consider this a huge step up in quality, in comparison? This is album has better production, lyrical skill-display, subject matter, and the shock-appeal that brought so much attention to the Slim Shady and Marshal Mathers LPs

Is it better than Nas' Untitled, Nіgger?

eminem has fallen the fucc off. Either that or I am getting old cuz I dont like many albums coming out these days.

It's ok, there's some decent tracks on there but still it could of been better...Em has fallen off ever since he put that Encore album out. Em's lyrically a great rapper but he wont ever be the same like he was all those years ago.

yea i expected garbage lol

I love the new album. It's psychotic and strange and beautiful.

Now that I've given it a couple days to sink in, I think its a very good cd from a technical perspective. Its got some very good songs on it.

But on the contrary, Its got some very bad messages on it. I said the first time i heard it that i was gonna cop it, but i wont be coppin it now. Its worth the download though. I can kind of relate to deja vu, and beautiful is a great song also. Lyrically, he murders the whole cd...and despite his weird accents that are annoying at times, his flow is top notch. The production is top notch.

For people who are 20 and up, i question the replay value of this.

hey gold mac, i bet you coppin killa's new **** tho? :) i know i am...

ill be coppin that early on tuesday...and the following tuesday, ill be coppin blackout 2 :yes:

me too. i cant wait...^

Every song sounds like he's using his 'ASS LIKE THAT' voice and he sped up his tempo.
He just doesn't sound the same DMX had the same problem with his last.

I'm actually really feelin this ****. I mean the production for the most part is ****in fire. Dre hooked it up. And Em's verses are ****in off the wall. This album ****s on Encore.

Just opions though. But I'm feelin this album. 3 am is probably the best beat I 've ever heard Em rap over.

The flow and the world play is ill. He really set this album up nice. It plays like a true album in my opinion.

I might cop this. From what I've heard it's a lot better than Crime Pays.

IDK probably not. I haven't really checked or heard any of their songs for the album.

To be honest I kind of lost interest in this album. One because the first one was dope and both of them vanished from the scene for a long time. I'll probably check it out though.

it was a bit queer to say the least......

I was hoping for a better album. That pseudo Indian accent he had is annoying as hell. I don't care much for all that horror-core/shock value rhymes. I mean, I can take it at times (Big L's Devil's Son is a favorite of mine), but I prefer to hear other things than graphic detail about being a serial killing rapist. And his rhyme schemes and flow on Stay Wide Awake were vintage Eminem, so I wish he'd come that great technically with better subject matter.

The celebrity-bashing is tired and lame. The choruses generally didn't help either.

It is definitely superior to Encore though.

I might just hold Eminem to a higher standard because I've heard a lot of his stuff and he is so friggin talented, that it's frustrating to hear him resort to corny stuff like celebrity bashing.

Edit: I've been listening to Stay Wide Awake repeatedly. I'm still in awe of his rhyme structure and flow.


But they can't see what i can see there's a vacancy in my tum-my
It's makin me play hide and seek like jason im so hun-gry
Shes naked see no privacy but i can see she wants me
So patient see i try to be but she why does she taunt me
Pulls the drapes and she goes right to sleep but i creep right through the front see
So blatantly but silently cause i know that shes sound sleep
Whos waken me so violently and whys he on top of me
He's rapin me she tries to scream somebody get him off me
He's tapin me he's bitin me he's laughin like its fun-ny
She scrapin me she's fightin me she's scratchin like some dumb freak
Escapin me no dice you see I might just be Ted Bun-dy
Or Satan G what a sight to see I'm dancin in my red panties


I'm not even highlighting what he rhymes at the end of each bar.


Nothing like Son of Sam so please understand there's no gun in hand
Where's the thrill in the hunt there's no fun in that here I come with ax
Once I act like lumberjack when I'm hacking em up with that
What was that, dial 911, someone's coming in from the back


SMH. Ridiculous.
