Album Review: Eminem - Relapse

[Ken785]

The album leaked earlier online today...what do you guys think?

I think he's lost quite a bit of his touch. He is rapping with his annoying "We Made You" voice on 1/3 of the tracks on the album...if it weren't for the top notch production, those songs would have been 100% garbage. Though there are a few really hot songs are there.

Notable songs on the cd are:

"Stay Wide Awake"

"Deja Vu"

"Beautiful"

and "Underground/Ken Keniff"

I'd give the album a 6.8/10.

Overall, i thought it was a decent album, better than most rap out there these days, i'll pick it up for my library when it drops May 19th.

His first 3 albums were a lot better. Anyone else take a listen yet?...luckily he's dropping a second Relapse album later this year...maybe that will have some hot songs on there as well.

Based off the two or three songs I've heard, I don't think much of it.

 

[Da Realist]

Yeah, Em took a step back with his first single, but it still sounded better than hearing another Wayne/Soulja Boy song.

 

[mpimpin]

I've been listening to some of his older stuff lately and forgot how good it really was. Can't wait to hear the new album

 

[speakeasy]

Eminem??? Uh...Who's that?

 

[mpimpin]

Listened to the new album... it is not very good

Underground is classic eminem and good
Made you, Crack a bottle, the two feature singles are pretty good

I can see why Nick Cannon is getting pissed about the Bagpipes song

 

[piranha45]

Nick Canon is a nobody who's trying to get as much as attention as he can.

 

[Levex]

Just checked it out today...not impressed at all.

He's 36 and still talking about killing ho's,dismembering family members, stepfather-son incest and ken kaniff. And of course his druggie mom.

Basically same old sh1t that made him famous, except now he can't pull it off anymore.

Beats suck too.
3/10.

You guys really need to move on to Metal :rockon:

I'm not talking about that chump Nu-metal s*** either, that's for 14 year-olds.

metal huh? well "tool" is a start

:whistles:

 

[piranha45]

I want to be a tool when I grow up~

 

[worship]

metal huh? well "tool" is a start

:whistles:

Tool isn't metal.

 

[I-tallionStallion]

Tool isn't metal.

I can't say they don't have a little metal in them. I've tried to get into them but there just too damn alternative for me. I prefer power/speed metal, thrash, some death/black, progressive, and other varieties.

Metal makes rap seem childish to me. Not many rappers do anything different, making the entire scene bland as all hell nowadays. Old school hip hop and old rap prove far more interesting than the crap these morons spew today. All they talk about is the ghetto, money, power, violence, drugs, and booty....yawnnnnnnnnn
