  • @mariokarter13
    @mariokarter13 6 лет назад +224

    To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Revival. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical grammar most of the bars will go over a typical listener's head. There's also Eminem's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these bars, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Revival truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Eminem's existential catchphrase "Your booty is heavy duty like diarrhea," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Marshall Mather's genius wit unfolds itself on their speakers. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂
    And yes, by the way, i DO have a Mom's Spaghetti tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎

      Eminem wants to have his cake and eat it. He's saying he took an L, literally stepping on Revival in the music video for Fall, yet in the same breath y'all are sleeping on Revival, you need a very high IQ to understand Revival. He's like a bitchy girlfriend pissed because she knows you're right, but won't actually concede the point.

    I think one person em forgot to reach out to for help on this album is Kevin abstract, who is the most likely to fix his biggest issues here. Hooks, and making good points against criticism. For example, songs like junky and swamp are both their own examples of good critical response and a fantastic infectious hook.

    • @lydiavalentino

  • @SilentStormMusic
    @SilentStormMusic 6 лет назад +18

    The fact that Em's not receiving the accolades that he did back in the early 2000s despite the fact that he feels he's putting out content that's better than than what the hip-hop zeitgeist is churning out at the moment is probably what fuels his insecurities, and while alot of criticisms towards Em are totally valid, like what you bring up in this video, I've seen SO much empty criticism from elitists on my facebook feed just cause he isn't hip anymore like he used to be in the 2000s, and while Em's earned alot of that bragging rights based on his name and accomplishments alone, like you said he'd benefit alot more from getting out of Detroit more often and doing more soul searching. i think a bit of experimentation would actually go a long way for Em as an artist as well, wouldn't say i'm a hardcore fan by any means, but i've heard all his material and at this point in his career, i think it's either make a major transition over to a different sound while still retaining the quality of your music or die out and become irrelevant, but the chances of the latter happening are far more likely than the former, given the quality of his albums have been declining, and cause of his age as well.

    Shady Records was never intended to make mega stars. It is a smaller boutique label. Nevertheless, they produced many gold and platinum albums, and even one superstar in 50 Cent. That is more than anyone signed to a small label can realistically expect.

    I keep getting the feeling that Eminem is just....never going to learn from what his critics have to say or understand that him constantly crapping on newer rappers makes him look like an old man yelling at today's music not being good as it was 20 years ago.
    For as good as his flow is and for how he was a defining act in hip hop in the early 2000s, he is absolutely HORRIBLE at handling criticism and not being in the spotlight over other rappers.
    If the next album he releases takes absolutely none of the criticism to heart, it will be his worst album, regardless of whether or not his flows or production are better, because then it will be old hat and Eminem will feel even more culturally stagnant in today's day and age.

    • @stuartkeating6508
      @stuartkeating6508 6 лет назад +2

      Billboardguy1 Exactly. But because Eminem just happens to be 46, they think it's just old yelling at new because it's new. Nah, it's because they suck. Is it too hard to put a little effort? I'm definitely curious how Eminem's new album will turn out.

      Billboardguy1 It's a tired trend, everybody moved on except for Eminem. There's *always* gonna be shit in the mainstream, nobody is going to change that. And his sell out Venom track only makes him look hypocritical. He's put out shit albums and can't accept or live with the fact that he's *not* the greatest. He was told that by his peers and fans in the early 00's, and he let the fame get to his head. After this album I think Eminem diss tracks are what he deserves.

  • @mikeatthepiano6067
    @mikeatthepiano6067 6 лет назад +6

    Normally I'm a silent fan but I wanna practice leaving public opinions, so here's my piece on this current debacle...
    Currently going through as much of Eminem's discography as possible just to understand the history behind his career, just see how we got to this point. Finished Encore, gonna be going onto the 8 Mile soundtrack and Relapse, maybe gonna look at Curtain Call even if it's mostly past songs. Before all that, I only listened to Kamikaze once. There were points that I agreed with Em on in terms of a lot of his gripes with modern mainstream rap and I liked a lot of his flows and rapping, but it's genuinely disheartening to see him burrowing himself in his own insecurity and not getting why Revival got as much backlash as it did.
    And I get that most fans will appreciate Eminem telling more stories and delivering sharper flows, and even if I can't agree with them, I'll get it. But it gets hard to stomach when the more immature fans start turning on the caps button and try to justify Eminem's sourness and hypocrisy, or complaining that critics 'didn't give the album enough listens' and have 'trash opinions on hip hop' and don't get 'the deeper meaning of the lyrics' because they gave it a negative review, etc.
    As for me, so far my fav albums of Eminem's are probably MMLP and Eminem Show, and even if MMLP2 ends up being a good/great album, I'm concerned about how bad it's gonna get after that and whether or not the downward spiral will continue from there. Then again, one can only really hope for a miracle, right?

    I can say that people who know how bad revival was should have known what they were getting with an album called kamikaze. Its not quite career suicide, because the same people who have been bumping to mumble rap will bumb to this since he did roast that kind of music. The spotify numbers at the very minimum show that people are willing to eat it up. I can appreciate that this album had the rage and passion that Em was missing. But I knew what else Kamikaze meant when he called out joe budden and akademiks, since budden even said that he would still support Em. Man it is Nicki Minaj again except in song form. I think songs like the lucky you and not alike will stay, but idk how long people will eat up em just being angry with critics.

    First of its better than Revival (Not saying much but wanted to get that out the way) but Em going on this long album tangent about people dislike isn’t what I want to hear especially if Em is going to be butthurt about all the criticism. And I hate to say this but this also shows Em as a person who got so much critical acclaim that when faced with the slightest bit of criticism, he cracks and feels the need to get “revenge” (The Em calls Paul skit says it all). Sure I rather listen to this that Reveal but this is a uglier album.

    I liked his album Kamakaze:
    It was the Revival of Slim Shady
    The first 3 were almost flawless
    Tracks 4-10 were ok: the best being fall, the skits were kinds funny
    Kamikaze: the hook wasn't great but love the theme!
    For the last 3: in track 11: Jessie's singing was too high pitched
    In track 12 it was better
    For track 13: The main part was good but the hook wasn't great
    Overall I enjoyed his clever disses as well as the themes for his other songs
    I rate it 8/10 along with ARTV and Reggie from Unabashedly Reggie: both of which are from Patreon

    I'd say this is better than Revival, but not by much. Em needs to stop caring about what the critics say, and move the fuck on, he's starting to sound pissy and bitchy as Hell. And yet, I think his attack on rappers like MGK, Migos and Drake were all totally worth it. I want more from Em though, this is proof he can bring his A-Game, but man alive he needs to try better than get pissy just because his album got polarized by fans and critics alike.

    It's funny seeing this review now just shows you didn't even understand the meaning behind the album "Kamikaze" nor it's songs. Track "Nice guy" is such a brilliant track, it perfectly embodies duality of being bi-polar via it's hook and then leads in to "Good guy", and I figured it out on my first listen. I was shocked by the hook at first, but when I listened to what was going on it was perfect. It's just cringeworthy to watch someone who didn't even get through the album clearly.

    You gave this the same damn score you gave revival...i can't take this review serious...
    Revival> encore btw. I try to forget encore exists lol. You defend it by calling it artistic trolling? Foh. He ain't kanye lol. Em even said he was high the entire making of it. Shit was his worst.
    An kamikaze isn't bad imo...nowhere near as bad as nice guy, good guy an normal. Those tracks should've been scrapped.

The rest of his popular stuff (not counting remixes) are all great storytelling tracks. I'm Sorry, Happy Birthday, Ross Capicchioni...etc...etc.
      I wouldn't even say this describes Hopsin either. Cause Hopsin is goofy as shit and over the top. You really gonna say the guy who wrote Happy Ending is trying to be a super technical rapper?
