Myke was talking like Eminem was in the Room😂
I mean, we know em watches everything, so who knows? dehh isn't that small unknown brand now. Major rappers and publishers know about them.
@@blackkn1ght Royce knows about them, so eminem definitely has come across them at least once.
He's scared of eminem 🤣
@@Shaolinmike1994 probably not
imagine having alchemist right there and you don't make an entire project with him.
Em desperately needs better beats. His production has been stale for years and nobody wants to admit it. An album with Alchemist would be a great move for Em.
@@Armando316 i liked the Dre type beat on this album she loves me ,the last one, guns blazing i also liked higher and favorite bitch , plus if your take the side A the last 4 that are produced by the aftermath team are pretty good imo and idk if you guys know about this but stepdad in side A is co produced by alchemist so what you guys thought about that one
I don't get it to this day. 8 tracks, no fillers, would be a breath of fresh air for Em'.
@@julien9602 8 tracks isn’t an album fam
@@romaretaylor9953 modern-day it is.
"Damn, that's cap"

I started dying when he said that! 😂😭😭😭
surprised the shit outta me
😂😂😂
legend
😂😂
Watching DEHH turn into a bunch of old dudes just sittin around and shootin the shit is genuinely one of the best things on RUclips
Then you will love ITMSO even more. They talk about other stuff besides hip hop too. It's been my main podcast since the first episode.
True...as a young rapper this how I'd like to age
Damn this album really left these guys piss pissedofferson
Lol 😂
😭😂😂😂
I'm fucking dying 🤣🤣
These niggas always get in their feels when talking bout em lol especially bro on the far left
That was corny af
Damn Myke out here giving fractions for the best tracks 😂
That shit was so funny lmao my man was struggling to find positives
Album was whack
I appreciate that Myke steered the tone of this review towards constructive criticism.
Foreal, Em is so close to making good music but misses the mark. He needs to figure out why he's making music and go from there.
@@AsterisqBeats he's trying to pander to the current scene, that's his problem. When I first heard people trashing Revival (before I listened to it), I was like: nah, it can't be that bad and then I listened to it. It was horrific. Some of the mumble rapper flows that Eminem was trying to incorporate unironically in some of the songs on that project were horrible. He then tried to play it out like he was mocking them but c'mon bro... We're not stupid, we know what you tried to do.
@@socialoutcastentertainment95 you should, great songs
Indeed.....this was the most accurate critique Ive heard in a long time .
@@raykincaid684 I think they were still over critical
Em switched to punchline during Recovery I think. I felt like he was trying to compete with the buzz around Lil Wayne
hmm that may be true .. that album had a bunch of crazy punchlines.. i think thsts why i liked it so much
Man, I blame Recovery for all the bad habits that Eminem fell in to. I wish Relapse was received better from the butthurt press, so he didn't have to make recovery.
I feel like you hit it on the head with this because i think when he had to "relearn" how to rhyme he looked at wayne too closely.
Yes!!! I have been saying this for years. Lil wayne changed rap I don't care what anyone says . Rap was never about crazy metaphores non stop. Wayne came in doing that so well. His metaphores were fire and he was huge. He was a feature on everyones song. His content wash mainly all about pussy and he just used a million different metaphores to say it. Then Eminem came back trying to do what wayne was doing and then he became obesssesd with it and word play making it become this big word exercise for people to focus on and dissect . They Every one got obesssesd with bars. I hate it lol I like the stories in rap then relatable stuff with a few bars.
He always had some of that...he came up as a battle rapper he's just od'ing with the corny punches...and he knows they're corny but he likes doing them for some strange ass reason. Like no one on earth will convince me that Em thinks "asking me where my shin ends...it down right below knee" is a bar...like the man can write punches "when I pull it surprise (Pulitzer Prize), like Kendrick Lamar...."It's sorta like Medusa that's how you stay ahead of snakes" I think he gets stuck in a syllable scheme and any punchline he can think of that fits he goes with...even when he knows its corny
Em made the switch to punchline flow in the time between relapse and recovery. Relapse was pretty punchline free and was straight lyricism with a dark concept. People trashed it and then Em saw lil wayne popping off who was known for his punchlines. Then Recovery came and he started down the path of punchline bars
Facts
Never thought of it like that, there’s truth to it
@@OurFoundingLiars In interviews, he also always compliments the way wayne uses punchlines and stuff.
He desperately needs to return to straight lyricism whether in the Relapse-Shady horror concept form or the more poetic Nas-esque form of an Eminem Show/8 Mile era. And then pick his punches wisely, honestly. Punchline flows are bound to get corny unless your ability with them is in a special tier like a Big L, Lord Finesse, or Lloyd Banks where you're consistently coming with back to back haymakers that hit well. Problem with Em's stuff is that most of them don't but attempts at them take up a huge portion of his lyrical repertoire now unfortunately. That's at least how I see it
@@TheKyd-td7fx I just think Em isn’t very good at punch lines. Like you mentioned Big L and Lord Finesse, two punch line
KINGS, who when they delivered a punch line it HIT hard. Em’s are just corny and weak, I feel. And this isn’t even getting into the bad beats and horrible hooks that accompany all his albums now.
I think part of the reason he focuses on his delivery more than his substance is because he has nothing to rap about anymore. He just sits in his mansion all day and nothing goes on in his life like back when he was younger. If he made a concept album it would make it a lot easier on him to make meaningful songs.
Definitely bro. Em just needs to focus on making good music, not just go crazy lyrical.
Revival was a concept album. He needs more than that, he has to figure it out though.
@@devzeppilin if Revival was a concept album, that was a very choppy Concept
But his delivery is bad too
@@beinerthchitivamachado874 he doesnt go crazy lyrical , he just rhymes a lot with no meaning
"Alright" took Kendrick 6 months+ to put together.
Eminem has released 50+ songs in 2 years while also trying to put clever punchlines/bars in them.
He really needs time on his next album.
He took for 4 years to drop Revival...
@@PaulYordan he revealed he was working on Revival after Campaign Speech (2016).
Revival was a big letdown but he's been improving since then.
He dropped Kamikaze 7/8 months later. And he didn't start working on it immediately after releasing Revival.
Eminem has found his spark again in my opinion. There were bad songs and they were great songs on Music to be murdered by.
I enjoyed both sides.
He needs time.
There was a drive/drives in 1999-2002.
It's no longer there.
Kendrick did all his verses for dre's Compton soundtrack in a few hours. Too much time can also be a problem.
@@noclipp Eminem does that too, often... you don't understand.
Zeus was recorded in hours, Love game ft Kendrick, both verses written in minutes and recorded in hours.
Eminem is finding trouble putting out a great body of work, not just the singles, the album as a whole.
I can make a 16/17 tracked fire album out of Kamikaze and MTBMB.
I don't fully understand but Dre picked the beats, right? And the hooks? He was in 2 or 3 songs I think, right?
No apologies is considered to be a very good song, it was released in 2006. As I understand it, he just raps. No punchlines, no... No most of the things he does now.
As I said, he records so many songs, tries to put bars/punchlines/schemes in almost every part. Some are good and some are cringe. Kendrick doesn't do that much.
He had feature verses last year and they're both very good.
Personally, I want him to release as much album as he can release every year 😶
@@jeremiah2717 lol okay
Myke got right, it seems that Eminem thinks that his ability to complexly rhyme, is more important than the words being put together thoughtfully and the pictures that he paints with his syntax
Thats funny all i heard was dope shit on this album
@@shadyboy5090 Interesting. What were your thoughts about his previous releases in the last few years? Just curious.
@@cudizzle147
I only disliked 4 songs on these two discs and they were all on side a.
I think Em is havin fun at this point doin what he loves fuck what these idiots think they can have there opinion.
I got what i asked dope beats and flows and the hooks were catchy. I feel if u dont fit the demagraphic ur gonna hate it but if u do its amazing. Shit really helped me thru shit. I thought side b stuck to the vibe more and i like how em didnt sing much on it. The corny lines i expect and i laugh knowin idiots will take it serious
@@controversialmann5345 Appreciate your response. I personally am not the biggest Em fan post like Recovery, but still respect his overall ability as an MC. I couldn't make it through this at all. Discombobulated was pretty decent though.
Nah he knows. He always brags about the fact that he wrote Stan. The problem is Eminem has nothing interesting to write about and outside of that he hasn't evolved past punchline rap. Now that he's older they've become dad jokes. Eminem was more edgy than cool... kind of like Sonic the Hedgehog. I LOVE Sonic the Hedgehog... but wasn't that shit gross in Sonic 2006 when he kissed a human? That's how I feel when Eminem writes a love jam. I can't stand Drake, but he knows the right people to steal his swag from. Eminem is lacking swag. The cool factor is gone. And just like Sonic, I love Em.... but facts are facts
If I'm being honest, a lot of people previously told that Em was pandering to what his audience wanted, but if ANYTHING, from this B Side especially, it seemed like he was doing it for himself and doing what made him happy, which I think is dope
Dope in concept but i didn't care for it but if it's making him happy then fine I mean it is a b sides it's basically just a extended album
@@flygod916 Yeah true. I personally enjoyed it but I can see why it's not everyone's cup of tea
bro if you are doing the music for yourself then why release it?
@@jessiesrodah133 I mean that's up to Em really. He's making music that he enjoys and he thinks it's good, so he puts it out. Despite some people disliking it, there's some that do, so I see no problem there
@@jessiesrodah133 because his shit is still selling & doing big numbers and he can go tour with it
Em is a weirdo when it comes to production. He always has to tinker with a beat to suit his needs. He did that with the Conway song. The dude had Alchemist by his side all these years, used him as a DJ but not as a producer. He finally does something with Premo, but only for scratches. Em definitely on the spectrum.
I personally like Book Of Rhymes but I WANTED that to be a Preemo beat SOOOOO BAD G. I also say the same thing about Alchemist. You FINALLY pull him in for a song and its EASILY one of your WORST songs on Side A and Im sorry but that beat was TERRIBLE coming from Alchemist who is TOP TIER TOP NOTCH producer 🤷🏻♂️ Em needs to get Alchemist to produce "Killing Spree" type beats and just SPAZZ on every one. Plain and simple 👌🏼🔥
@@zenoevol5991 What song was that?
@@anokacity Killing Spree? Its a song by a MC named Defari produced by Alchemist. That beat is AMAZING go check it out! But THOSE the types of beats that Alchemist need to be making for Em and say "JUST SPAZZ" 👌🏼💯
Yep. Em is a complete weirdo, he should be collabing with nothing but legends, HE'S LITERALLY A LEGEND HIMSELF.
@@zenoevol5991 man 1999 Eminem would've murdered that killing spree beat. i don't think he can flow over beats like that anymore, he lost his nasally voice & his laid back flow
Now I understand why Andre 3000 just pops up on a song or 2 and refuses to drop an album, maybe Em should think about doing the same thing.
Agreed
Nah my nigga 3000 would spazz, em has the skill but his flow hurts me that shit gets annoying fast.
Em has been doing better in features then in his own albums. I like his verse on the fat joe song, the kid cudi song and big Sean’s song so I expected more from him on this album.
@@ibrahimadula5359 if you understand this shit, you don't say "his flow" because Em got a lot of flow's ....
@@ibrahimadula5359 there's nothing wrong with his flow. lol, that's such a nitpick. its what's he's saying and the punchlines that are the problem.
The Eminem and Kid Cudi collab is how Em should be rapping like. Calm and with purpose.
Completely agree, that felt like such a mature and focused Em and the verse is very replayable.
@@SaulBadmon eminem wasn't even going super lyrical on that one. Plus this whole album got chill sounds man
Fat Joe verse too.
@@emgo-at7398 it’s overdone man. The Cudi joint was the perfect happy medium modern Eminem, scrolling thru topics with ease.
Imagine deciding how a rapper who's been in the game for 30 years should rap.
"If Eminem had a ghostwriter I would like this a lot more" is one of the most savage things I've heard.
He needs one at this point
@@The-Endo-SymArmor I ever needed a ghostwriter I might just have to the pen down - eminem
@@uriel4274 damn. I remember him saying that. It was rough.
Myke saved this review. It’s nice when people look at the big picture of it and think critically about what’s happening vs just writing it off as trash. Em has skills that very few, if any, rappers have. He just doesn’t take his own music all that serious these days and says a lot of bullshit.
Facts🤝
He is not the most skilled chill , but he has skills that can’t incorporate right
no mention of discombobulated tho
That is the problem. Eminem doesn't take his craft seriously anymore, says a bumch of bullshit then gets angry when people criticize him for it.
@@Jus-Tin I think Em
Just doesn’t have anything to talk about anymore. He’s also been clearly affected by the criticism directed at him, and I think the passion for the art is no longer there.
So between this and the Cudi review, Myke is the only one that seems to be liking anything. Gonna be a interesting year
Myke said it was “fucking mediocre” 😂
Liking anything Em or Cudi... Stan.
For sure
12:23 Myke: "It's not a good album. It's painfully mediocre." If that's liking something, the stuff he hates must be really terrible.
To be fair, I think he meant its painfully mediocre for em. He did mention that if this was any other rapper, this would have been considered a really good album.
It's like a weird mirror universe where Mike is trying to find positives and Feefo is just being a straight-up savage...
Zeus, Discombobulated, Alfred’s Theme, and Book of Rhymes
How did no one say Zeus ?
@@BlackstreetBoys2Men same thing with side A. They didn’t even talk about no regrets or lock it up. I was shocked...well they actually made fun of the Don toliver hook.
It’s called they just hate on Eminem
@@Esco2k6 Nah man if anything they are some of the only social media pundits remotely giving Em his flowers
People commenting without even watching the full video, including me lol
Im just preparing for the hate to flow through us 🤣 already. I already expect it.🤣 just started. Ok they couldn't even say the title without even struggling lol like the name....the name took you out 🤣🤣
Haven't listened to the album, haven't watched the video, literally two minutes, gonna voice my opinion anyway
Lol

BOLDY JAMES - MANGER ON MCNICHOLS
that was the best album boldy released last year
This!!!!! album was so good
@@malcolmhinds7656 Agreed. It took me a couple of listens but after it finally clicked I have to say it’s his best work.
we need it
Bet ima check this
Bruh this was the best beat selection on an Em album since Relapse. All the beat switches was fire.
Yep the only beat I didn’t really like was higher and it isn’t even that bad.
I really thought to myself: is my ear that off? When I watched this The beats were good.
Hmmmm... i wouldn't go that far... BUT the Discombobulated joint was fire though.
@@jodigga7 You that type of production isn't their style anyways.
100%. They musta been skipping the tracks
"These bars are like Covid y'all gotta stay at least 6 feet away"
Myke got me dead 💀💀💀
No more covid 6 feet bars please!! Lol
I thought Zeus and Killer were great.
This whole review is really making my question my sense of humor.
I think em focuses on the technical aspect before writing a good song and because if this he abuses and forces syllables. He has shown that he can write a good song such as the Darkness, but this so few and far between.
Bro the overly lyrical shit id say is shady xv era
Revival so much forced shit kinda on kamikaze but i think hes more well rounded than ever on side a and b.
Revival was dissapointing because of shit like ShadyXV, Right for Me is one of Em's HARDEST tracks. Lyrical madness.
All the songs were great.
I personally feel that when Eminem came back from hiatus and dropped Relapse, he received a lot of back lash from using those accents...and from that point on he has been trying to reinvent himself while constantly receiving backlash and it has fukd with him mentally....he went from accents to yelling, to yelling/choppy battlerap delivery to speed rapping to not yelling/battlerap schemes and looking back on the timeline, when he started incorporating that battle rap type of writing is when his actual lyrics started declining drastically. It's like he's trying TOO hard to find punchlines that fit the syllable pattern instead of actually saying something that holds weight.
I don't get why people hated on that album I personally enjoy it and I think the accents are funny 😂🤷🏻♂️
Agreed
@@zenoevol5991 people love relapse now but it was shitted on when it came out
But they just aren't getting worse, I don't understand your point of view unless you simply haven't properly listened to his new projects or a lot of his bars fly over your head. If simple complexity and deeper meaning is what makes lyrics appear good to you then yes I'd agree he does way less of that. But theres countless bars and schemes he does which are like quadruple entendres.
@@godsmotheroffical thats how it goes... I hated Yezzus with a burning passion but now... its alright lol
"spam sandwich on a gold plate" is really the most perfect analogy i've heard for em's recent music
Goddamn, I thought I was the only one let down by the fact that Em didn't rap on a Premo beat
The fact that Eminem heard that trap beat and was like "i should get preemo on this!" shows that he should let another producer (dr.dre, Mr. Porter, alchemist, or even royce) make decisions.
we need em on a rza, q tip, madlib, pete rock beat
Me too
@@peterbadami4872 LMAOOOO, you're right on that one.
That was such a fucking tease.
Idk man, I thought the album was good, Em was having fun with it and I'm okay with it, I know many aren't and want a level above what hes delivered lately, but eh I still enjoy it 🤷🏻♂️
Yeah I thought it was way better then side a. I don’t what other people hear sometimes, but it’s all opinion based
I agree
@@Ballistix117 i think side b complement side a very well. Its a good double album imo but i think side A was better because more focused and had better track overall.
Mike's breakdown was the most unbiased accurate breakdown out of everyone
@Eli Cris out of everyone in the dehh group? How was he not? He was analytical and broke it down without getting emotional or letting his own opinions affect it. He even admitted he personally didn’t really like it but just reviewed it on an objective scale.
@Eli Cris O I agree with you on that aspect. I didn't say I agree with EVERYTHING Myke said. I think he's right as far as his analysis of Em's lyrics right now. But when he said this was better than Music to Be Murdered By pt. 1 I was like "HUH??". Yea, definitely disagree with him there. The first Music to Be Murdered By had a couple tracks that were misses but also had a lot of good tracks to me.

In terms of bars, you guys have it completely wrong. He might have a few corny bars here and there cause thats just the person he is but the overall content was amazing. Book of rhymes was BAR HEAVY. Favorite bitch, Higher, discombobolated, gnat etc. Overall this is a great album.
I think people are taking Eminem's music too serious..he's just playing most of the time..the corny punchlines are done on purpose lol
Facts
Writing bad lyrics purposely still results in bad lyrics. Also, until Em actually says that's what he's doing, I'm just going to assume he thinks his pen game is on point.... Because he always brags about his pen game (remember... he'll out rap you like Santa). Why would he write lyrics for people to shit on only to then complain about the fact that people shit on them?
Eminem did Fack but these dudes losing their minds over a few corny lines he obviously did on purpose 🤣
He did go on crooked I review
Listen to his adlibs in the background..you can tell hes just having fun saying something stupid stuff..obviously some comedy isnt for everyone..just like some people hate shock comedians..I cant be mad if you hate the music hes putting out lately but for me I've never heard a wack eminem album..I fuck with all his stuff even revival and recovery..I guess I'm a stan
He put out Revival (The mature Marshall Mathers and y'all said it's garbage, he should go back to Slim Shady kind), Now he gives you more of Slim Shady, oh he is corny 😂😂😂
Revival wasn’t trash because of the content it was trash mostly cause of the production, and Em’s “maturity” on there was rehashing stuff he already talked about, him remaking love the way you lie over and over or Mockingbird isn’t maturity
@@romaretaylor9953 it's not that the production was trash it's literally because majority of those beats aren't hip hop or rap beats they were more poppy sounding and for a lot of listeners that particular sound isn't very appealing especially within the hip hop and rap scene
The issue that must you even including the people in this video seem to forget is that eminem has massive fanbase (one of the biggest in the world ) so there are certain avenues eminem will go with his music that will only appeal to that particular crowd because has a lot of individuals in his fanbase that aren't really hip hop fans but only listen to him as the only artist from that genre
Which is why on most of his recent albums the songs all sound way different from each other because even though he's rapping on them , not all of them are hip hop centric songs
So you can't expect him to isolate other sections of his fanbase just to please another set of his fanbase, business wise that makes no sense
Did YOU enjoy Revival?
@@blissfulinsomniac5711 I like some songs on it but the album as a whole wasn't bad I get what he was going for but the execution needed some more work

@@angelayala7922 I think the quote matches perfectly. Eminem is clearly held to such a high standard that people are turned off by his corny bars, that they’ll over look his good bars. Somehow that made this album trash. I can’t understand why the beats would be bad to them neither, it’s very fitting for the current landscape, he was having fun rapping, rapped about relevant topics, had great flows that went with the beat switch ups. I just can’t understand what more someone wants from Eminem 20 years into his career. They trashed it as if his lyrics were that unbearable. I see RUclips reactors that sit there and pick the bars apart and they are mind blown by what he’s saying.

I think if Em allows Dre and/or Royce to produce an entire album and only worries about lyrics on a true concept album it would be one of the best things he can do right now. A true from the heart and honest concept album from him would be so differnt then anything he has done recently and it could be a great thing to get his name back to where people had him at in the early 2000’s
Dre was present on MTBMB more than any other project since Relapse. Matter of fact Dre implication on the project gave us some of the best songs of the project; Premonition, Never love again, little engine, lock it up, she moves me, Discombombulated and people still complain about it -_-
@@francoisturcotte3982 "Little Engine" had some of the worst lines I've ever heard from Em, lol.

You guys didn’t like Zeus? I thought the hook was pretty good with the beat, and lyrics were tolerable 😂
And he did exactly what they wanted him to do: NOT DO THE HOOK HIMSELF and it didn't even get a mention. Ain't that some shit? Lmao
‘’Tolerable’’ is unfortunately not something that in any way should to be associated with the the most successful rap artist ever and who many consider in the top 10 and top 5 best rappers of all time. Those stats and opinions should tell you something about what an artist like that needs to produce. This was not it for me personally

Did you guys ever say what exactly you didn't like about Book of Rhymes? You mentioned you were disappointed that Premo was just on the outro but other than that did you have a problem with that actual song? It was a dope track to me
all i want from em now at this point is a bad meets evil 2, or an album with hitboy, madlib, rza, premier, pete rock, dre, just blaze all on production with a whole roster of dope rappers to bring out the best em, wed need kdot, lupe, king los, jid, joey badass, ab soul, black thought, lil wayne, jay z, redman
EXACTLY. Em is a LEGEND, he should be collabing with legends. Kenny, Nas, Jay or some current rappers; Cole, Danny Brown, RTJ, Lupe, Denzel Curry, JID, Freddie Gibbs... the list is endless.
To each his own. Respect you guys but I just feel differently. I appreciate the fact he’s still putting music out.

True plus even if he isn’t taking the rap game serious anymore he still gonna have more record sales than a lot of the top rappers nowadays lol
THANK YOU BEEZY!! I’ve always said if you’re gonna critique Nas’s beat selection, talk about Em’s beats over the years

Nas has had some misses with production but he ain't no where near as bad as Em. His beat selection this decade is worse, and the beats from his early work are outdated.
Again, Eminem has the lyrical ability but problem is he DOESNT have a filter for what good or bad lines when he's writing or freestyling. He needs someone to help him direct a conceptual album, check up on him if a line is corny or nah, listen to the hooks, etc...
But who gonna do it if Royce and Crook swallow his load everyday . Dre ain’t been doing it and when Budden said anything it started a whole beef 🤷🏽♂️
He can’t take criticism, isn’t it clear?
I think on the last review of Revival, Feefo said something about Just Blaze criticizing Em and Em walked out of the room.
@@henrychinaski5938 you got that joe part messed up af. That one was about loyalty and respect, not opinion, just like with Snoop, let's keep that a 100.
Royce doesn't hear most of his music until it's out I'm pretty sure. And Dre... i think his taste isn't so good no more, that's the issue
@@CrackCECKer What loyalty does Joe owe Em ? Shit when Joe was going at Drake and drake was saying fuck Joe Budden, Em was popping up at his shows 🤷🏽♂️ Em doesn’t want loyalty , he wants yes men and but guzzlers . It’s pretty apparent .
It's funny cause 'classic' Em' was never about this super fast rapping that Em' does now. If you go back to MMLP and The Eminem Show, what made those albums great were the content and song writing that he had. It seems the more albums Em' drops now the further he gets away from that. I think Em' sitting down with a sole producer like Q-Tip for a 11-12 track album where he focuses on content can do wonders for him.
You clearly did not listen to this album because Em did not rap fast save for the end of gnat.
I'm scared for Em's discography as a whole tbh. He NEEDS a classic before he retires, man.

Honestly just watched watched the last 4 em reviews to give these lot a true chance but I just can't agree with their opinion on the most part. I'm just confused like what are you really looking for. If you want reactions by say Knox and Stevie you'll see the lyrical ability. Agreed MTBMB Side A hooks for the most part weren't amazing yet I felt B side was 🔥. Like I'm genuinely trying to understand what people don't like
Maybe cause it's just not that good
We need Eminem to have a Nas style comeback
Em will always be one of my favorites, but he just doesn't have anything to write about anymore. All his great music came from personal issues he was dealing with coming up

@@dannygoodlet8840 facts
This album is miles ahead of relapse in my opinion
Eminem has a couple good tracks in each of his recent albums since Revival. But the majority of it is so painful.
All of it is so fire
Ur trippin kamikaze and mtbmb are both good. Side b is not he shouldn't have even release side b
Kamikaze and mtbm side A are good tho u just gotta give a chance
I cant believe yall diddnt talk about the snoop and em beef tho, I feel like that could have been a really good discussion
They are not upset
They are friends
Personally it seems like Em takes the heat for just about anything because I have to sit back and ask. What exactly is considered dope? What's considered corny? Cause I can look at a lot of artists now who put out shit and the lines the similies and metaphors they use, are weak as fuck but they also couple it with an equally basic flow and such but they get hailed as dope for it, all the while it seems like with Eminem people are so focused on the shit they don't like or find issue with and let that overshadow everything.
I mean, who gives a damn that he's rapping about covid he isn't the only one to do it but I've never seen anyone catch as much hell as Eminem does even though while he's rapping he made a play on words making all the references, why is that a problem and how is that corny, like the hook in general touched on a bunch of references but he's playing around with the words and having fun.
At the same time em has addressed this multiple times, every time he drops something everyone complains that it's not what they wanted. He writes about things that are important or have substance, he gets flamed for it, he gets mad and goes off, he's being petty and childish, he raps just to rap and for the sake of rapping and now he has no content, why is he doing it. Never mind that he's still at least putting a lot of effort into the craft and it's what he loves to do.
It just seems like everyone is always coming to bash Em and run with it and that shit seems to be contagious cause if it wasn't em I guarantee they wouldn't get this much focus hate and criticism.
I don't agree with the fact that just cause he came out putting everyone on notice with bars and all and now he ain't got it. More often than not no one truly pays attention to bars like that now everyone's main focus is flows and beats.
Cause on both sides of mtbmb em was at least still dropping bars but the criticism was how it was delivered and while yea its completely opinionated on whether you like it or not, for example little engine while you may not like the hook, it was designed to sound like a chainsaw revving, and while you hear that and not like it it still doesn't change the fact that he's rapping his ass off and just cause he's rapping just to rap without a heavy concept it doesn't equate to him being corny I just feel like personal opinion at times tends to affect the perception of how the music comes out and that in itself creates an even harder goal to reach.
Either way just my opinion.
U summed it all up man.
Totally agree with you. Eminem is just held to way high of a standard that he gets ripped a part soon as he relaxes on his bars for a moment. He really can’t win. Eminem talks about this himself all the time. Everyone wants something different from him. These guys love the Relapse album, which I do too. But if Eminem makes another album that sounds like that what are people going to say “oh he isn’t evolving he’s making the same content” or “oh wow he’s still rapping about this grotesque stuff, he’s so gross we need to cancel him”. He makes something modern and time stamped to fit 2020 perfectly and with modern production and still gets ripped apart. It’s a lose lose for him. I know most wouldn’t be so hard on this album if it was a different artist that made this album.
It's because Eminem is in the conversation for best rapper. But he's sort of an outlier in that he doesn't make the same type of music that a Jay-Z, Nas... Or a J. Cole/Kendrick make. And the fact that his lives a different to life to other rappers, he's differences mean that he may have to do more to be taken the same way other rappers of his tier are.
It seems that to make music that appeals to people outside of his core fan base, he has to step out of his personal tastes. When he makes music that he personally likes (by that I mean beat selection, content, lyrics, how he wants to rhyme), he isolates those that aren't a fan of his music.
Unfortunately, it seems he has to decide between his personal artistry, and appealing to the culture.
What Eminem nerds to do is just lock in with Hip Hop producers and make a pure Hip Hop album. Actually get Premier beats, 9th Wonder and the like, and not worry about sales, and just rap. Once he's delivered that, he will appease his detractors and can continue creating how he wants to.
@@Yawdan I think you have some valid points, but at the same time they will still find a way to rip him a part. Another thing though, Eminem can’t really rap about the same issues as Jay, Cole, or Kendrick. He can’t relate to the same issues as a black man in America. He’s already rapped about struggles of poverty, but people say they are tired of hearing about that from him. Then when he raps about problems in America on “Revival” he got ripped up for that and some said he shouldn’t rap about “the plight of black people” or “woke Eminem isn’t good”. I really feel he is in a lose lose. There are some people that don’t want Eminem to be a part of the culture or they are sick and tired of him. One dude literally told Royce “I want you to kick Eminem out of the culture”. Royce said that is never happening. Although he may be the most loved amongst his fans, he is also the most hated in hip hop. There will always be negative feedback about him no matter what he does.
@@Shaolinmike1994 to be honest, i don't care about what foolish and/or racist people say lol. They are not important.
Eminem doesn't have to rap about what others do. The fact that Eminem is himself is one of his strengths. _But_ he has to make at least an album that can stand next to the Illmatics, Reasonable Doubts, Death Certificates etc. He doesn't have to rap like others at all. But he needs to at least have the music to be comparable to them. He needs rap over the classic Hip Hop producers beats. No I.D, Pete Rock, 9th Wonder, Buckwild etc.
Nas, Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, Rakim, LL Cool J, Scarface, Raekwon, Outlast and many others have all given at least one album that was an undisputed classic, and have gone on to experiment with their sound and content. I don't want to dictate Eminem's creativity. But if he wants to be taken the same as the others _music-wise_ (he is skill-wise), then he needs to deliver like them.
And if he does, and people still talk sh**, then f*ck em lol.
I haven't actively searched for an Eminem project since MMLP2. Idk if I've listened to any new Em project more than once since then. He's just comes off trying too hard for punchlines that he cosigns, whether or not they're corny, I just can't do it. I agree 100% with what Myke said about Em's change from the song topic deciding punchlines, word placement, etc. to now focusing on punchline and setup over topic and whether or not something's corny

Not bad from a "trash" artist.
Em just wants to showcase his skill and penmanship at this moment in his career because he's pretty much covered everything else when it comes down to 'content'...I believe he has succeeded in this project when it comes down to the fundamentals of MC'ing. I think y'all are taking it way too seriously. At the end of the day no one is close to Em when in comes to putting words together and thats a fact.
Uhhhhh what?
Jay Z is WAY better at putting words together because he actually matured and still has a lot of interesting content to rap about.
Plus Jay Z isn't saying corny shit as a grown ass man.
Get over yourself bruh.
@@FidoeFTW I'm talking about the technical aspect of putting words together, syllables, rhyming patterns and bending words.

His best album since Relapse. I think the production was dope and he can now stay on beat, far less shitty hooks and I love dad jokes so the punch line thing doesn’t bother me.
Not to mention he doesn't scream and yell on every track like he did on Recovery and mmlp2. But most importantly, he's having fun and he has passion for music again something he lacked alot post recovery.
@@francoisturcotte3982 Yep, Screaming Em was the worst.
@@jaynelson1762 yeah i feel like some of his worst verse were during this screaming era (2010-1017). Him screaming can be goodon certain type of production like on recovery but it didn't fit well with mmlp2 type of production. A prime example of that is his verse on medicine man from compton. The beat was freaking nice, the chorus too, Dre's verse was nice and then came Eminem screaming is lungs out with a snare so loud that the combination made my ears bleed. I never thought before that moment that Em could ruin a song with a verse lol. I think this is why MTBMB is soo good because he has such a control of his voice and cadence that he sounds on alot of songs like he used to rap 15 years ago,he sounds 15 years younger lol. Kamikaze was a step in the right direction even though he was a little but too aggressive on certain songs, MTBMB has the perfect balance of cadence and aggressivity imo much like MMLP and TES.
Myke been cracking me tf up lately.
"Ya'll ain't like when he said 'These bars are like covid, you get it right off the bat?"
"That's tight."
I get he can have corny lines but I still think Eminem’s problem ,as of now, is an over reliance on delivering crazy bars. It’s like he keeps trying to outdo his craziest bar and if he’s not delivering bars then he isn’t satisfied anymore. I forgot who made the point but if you go back to MMLP, Eminem Show, he almost has no bars. Just impactful and hard hitting lyrics with sick cadences. In the MMLP2 he hit the best balance in my opinion between bars and still making songs with content. Legacy is the most fucking insane technical ability I’ve ever heard, same rhyme scheme throughout 3 verses while taking you on a journey to him getting his confidence and his voice on the track gets perpetually clearer in each verse signifying how he found his voice. Groundhog Day where he rhymes the “in” sound for damn near the whole song while TALKING HIS SHIT, and that Bad Guy last verse...I challenge anyone to find a better verse than that without mentioning top 5 caliber verses of ALL TIME. I just don’t think we have the same standards for his peers like Lil Wayne who really hasn’t said or done much in the same amount of time (2010-now). He set the bar so damn high for himself and it’s just like how the fuck can he even reach it anymore. There’s glimpses of it throughout the time since he came back where that shit takes me back to a little kid with his headphones on. Darkness is still a top tier song from all angles rivaling Stan IMO. Anyways if you bothered to read this far then some of my favorite lines from Side B are below if you’re interested.
“Lone sniper, I hold the microphone, like a loaded rifle, my domes brighter, all I spit from my skull is fire, all that’s missin is a motorcycle with the chrome wire, spoke tires and y’all are flow biters so I don’t gotta, explain why the call me your ghostwriter (ghost rider)”
“Cuz the gutters where my mind is and when, it’s in this frame, better split like the 5 and the 10, cuz without a second to spare, I’m strikin again, and when the beat is up my alley I go right for the pins (pens)”
“Even when I’m rappin less stellar, it’s sour grapes, I still whine (wine), I’m the best Seller (cellar).”
“Cause I got a bone to pick and Slim Shady, Will thug(Thug), and harm any (harmony) who attempt to diss Hailie” Bone Thug N Harmony reference that blew my mind when I heard it. Then a simple one but I still thought it was dope.
“I take a Foe (fo) out like Fe Fi Fum”
“Ain’t nothing you say could ever trump, Mic, pencil get killed, if you’re hypersensitive I wasn’t referencing the Vice President chill, I mean my pensmanship at times tends to get ill, violence but with skill, that’s why I hence when I write ends up with the mic and pencil gettin killed”
there are many artists that do punchlines just fine on certain albums, like Wayne(Carter 3,da drought3). that is no excuse or a real critique.
"shut your mother-f$king mouth" is a cringe line. and what B said: the beats are average, except maybe Book of Rhymes. Alfred beat had a lot of potential
second, why would you like Tokyo ghoul? ew
MrShaiya96 You’re taking one line out of a 5 minute song where Em spazzes. You’re mentioning the carter 3 which is probably Wayne’s best work. What about the Carter 4, 5, Funeral, 5 extended? What would give those albums and are you trying to act like Wayne doesn’t have bad lines?
MrShaiya96 Em did just fine with punchlines on MMLP2. My critique is that he keeps trying to reach a bad for himself that is unreachable where every single line has to be a double.
MrShaiya96 Ishida is the best writer I have ever read, if you read the manga you will see the how he weaves poetry into his work. The anime did him a great disservice. It is not something you can read once, I’ve read the whole series about 4 times and I still catch new things in the chapters.

Myke, are you referring to subject matter? I would agree his last three albums (or 2 with B-Side) are stretched with the same subject matter, with some tracks that stand out from the rest. Let alone now a days, it's the less more mantra.

@@beard6329 hahahahaha that garbage aint close to mgk ffs
That spam sandwich on a golden plate illustration was pretty accurate in describing the lyrics on the album.
After watching the recent interview with em, I think that his rapping completely changed because of the drugs cuz he even said that he had to relearn how to rap again.
This is true, yes. Eminem had a huge writer's block problem and drug addiction, with the loss of Proof. After he sobered up and fixed his social issues, he still had to deal with a writer's block. That's mostly why people separate eminem from 1999-2004 and 2009-present, not just because of the huge break in between projects, but him relearning how to rap changed his style undeniably. For me imo, I have no issue with it.
I don’t know why we are looking at a 40+ year old rapper expecting another classic because he’s been GOATED dude is basically giving fan service at this point... he mixes like 5 different rap sub genres in one album trying to appease every corner of his fans that jumped on his wagon throughout different eras of his career and that’s why most of these projects end up mediocre IMO...
This.
That album is trash. keep it real
Expecting a good album from someone so many people consider one of the greatest isn’t that crazy
Except there's better fanservice albums from greats of the past that are actually decent to great. 4:44 from Jay Z. Hell, King's Disease by Nas is a step up.
Stop moving the goal post. If Em releases something to the public, it’s open to criticism. There’s a key word in GOAT: time. Time shouldn’t make your bars worse especially if you’re rapping so much. Most people fall off when they stop. Maybe I’d give him greatest of a period of time but there’s been enough mediocre to bad content to tarnish things for me. Have you heard “Remember the Name” with 50 and Ed Sheeran? Listen to that BS and tell me old school Eminem wouldn’t have clowned that
You cant really hurt your legacy by continuing to make music because when it’s all said and done when they die... if they are a goat they will forever be a goat. Also music is for everyone and someone might like something and hate something else. Every album someone’s gonna like it for sure.
Exactly. Eminem can put out all the trash he wants (i'm not saying he is i think MTBMB is fire) it will never erase his legacy and touch his prime and run of 1998-2003. This shit is historic no matter what the haters wish.

Is it weird that I can enjoy an Em album while stil, understanding the criticisms about him? Like he's still my favourite rapper, no cap. But I also know that I can't have his album on all day, I know that he comes up with weird punchlines and that he needs to reach deep for fresher content and musical direction. I know that he needs to surround himself with better producers and live a outside of his shell for a change. But I also know that he's now only making music for his core fan base (me included)
It's the same with all the legends. For example, while Nas has remained a true lyricist for the majority of his career he hasn't actually made a record that moved the culture in a long time ( Kings Disease was fire )
Kane hasn't had a decent album in a he'll of a long time. Even his closest to good material feels unfinished and unfocused
But I still love all these guys. It's just a pity the white boy gets the most hate out of all of them
Rap God is the worst thing to happen to Em. Everyone freaked out over the flow at the end, and Em went "oh, they want THAT." And now he ONLY does that, lyrics be damned.
This guy gets it
I don't get why people didn't like "Book of Rhymes". That was one of the better songs on here to me
The problem isn't eminem the artiste the problem to me is the perception of what eminem should be
A lot of people are still holding on to the eminem of the past (especially the people in this video) and are not allowing themselves to view the eminem of current day
The man today is 100% different than the eminem of like 10-20 years ago
Exactly. And specially they gravitate towards Eminem's old voice and flow, from early 2000s. Yes, it was much better but still, this is just different
If this was not Em everyone would probably be saying this album sucks.
It's not simply expectation because it's Em, people let rappers with worse lyrics pass and say "it's a vibe" because those rappers make a different kind of rap. It's not supposed to be lyrical. Em puts himself in a lyrical lane and writes bad lyrics and hide those bad lyrics in technical complexity and has been doing so for decades. We've been taking it easy on Em for a very long time. If this was any other lyrical emcee from the 90's we'd have written them off as lost causes after Curtain Call and subsequent releases would be obscure and without fanfare.
Also, Crook saying Em is an underrated producer is a goddamn lie.
Nah, I disagree. He's had a lot of great material after Curtain Call. None of it was on Side B...but nonetheless, he's had a ton of content and lyrical brilliance this past decade.
💯
I don't even know why you guys review Em albums. You always trash them even when the majority love it. You focus on the small stuff and the 1 or 2 lines that aren't great from every song. I never hear you guys say what is great about any Em song or album. You come off as straight Em haters just stop "reveiwing" his albums PERIOD.
Agree. I dont get the hate overall.
Agree! Hate EM, but let’s do it for the sake of views on Em’s name!
They know the views Em brings them
Well they have been long time fans and loved most of his work from the 2000s so obviously they would be interested in hearing new music from him it's just it doesn't hit for them like it used to and they're disappointed in it that's all
Eminem released this project and they reviewed in honesty. Also, they like kamikaze. Your meant to be critical of any project you review
Rod has an amazing point about old Em not relying so heavily on punchlines. It seems like every other line is Em just setting up the next punchline, and half the time they are corny as hell. Old Em had some punchlines but every verse didn't have to have like 3 of them
A whole album of bad hooks...what??? Juice, Anderson Paak, White Gold, Q-Tip. But you guys were jumping out your seats for “lemon squeeeese, lemon squeeeese”. I love Conway, but come on. And garbage production? I mean, I want to hear Em spit over Alchemist, Premier and Dre beats too but there’s a difference between bad and PREFERENCE. Try to separate the two.
"I wanna get head first like a nose dive" isn't really a bad line, is it?
Lol no it isn't mf critics just hold Eminem up to high standards for everything he says. Em will never pls them
@@melly4042 couldn’t have said it better myself.. plus I don’t think most of these lines are meant to be taken that seriously... they’re just witty
he was doing a whole scheme with pool and jets and all of that. these guys completely missed it
Corny like most of the bars he spits now.. and not good corny like his early work.
You said the beat was lazy on Alfred's theme
😂 it used a sample from MTBMB by alfred himself, it was far from lazy!, pure effort in that one my freind.
I think he’s just having a lot of fun with it. Like, He does know they’re stupid lines, he’s admitted to that. But that’s just what he wants to do, have fun with it
Yeah, I think that at this point in his career, it’s fine for him to just make music that he enjoys. Also, he doesn’t really know what people want from him, I think he had a good line about that on the original Music to be Murdered By
Yea, it seems a lot of people don't get this.
Cool but don’t mean he ain’t subject to criticism
@@NasXShady he can still be criticized if the project is bad. Bad lines on purpose doesn't make it good.
@@Noirlore I don't think anybody is saying that, it's just don't take it too seriously. Not saying there are song on here that you should take seriously like darkness but still have that view especially when it comes to this album Because there is a lot of wacky shit on here.If I'm being honest, a lot of people previously told that Em was pandering to what his audience wanted, but if anythingq, from this B Side, it seemed like he was doing it for himself and the fans stuck with him and though thick and thin and doing what made him happy, which I think is dope.
Kinge: “You’re being tone deaf, Feefo”
Me: “ _I can’t understand a word you say..._ ”
Even though I may not agree with Mike but I can respect how he critic Eminem - yet for me the B side is it for me. It has replay value.
Rod is on point with the punchline comment. The bad punchlines just seem to linger forever until he starts the next line.
Em should not be getting a pass for mediocrity. Most rappers of Em generation still have it and some are getting better.
I respect Myke's opinion the most, because at least he listened more closely than everyone else. But many of Em's lines are way too complex for you guys to catch. You point out the corny lines, because those are the only lines you can catch. He got multiple triples in there and crazy schemes that are way over your head. Respectfully
