    Eminem's major singles leading up to the release of the sequel to the Marshall Mathers LP have underwhelmed me a bit, honestly.
    What did you think of this album? Love it? Hate it? Why? What should I review next, eh?

      Say what you will about revival but it still had many redeeming qualities that u can't overlook. It's not a good album but not thaaaat bad , if it's the worst album you've heard then I guess either your music taste is so excellent that you only choose great albums to listen to , or your music horizon is too short , there's a third option too , that is , you haven't even heard it properly and are just jumping on the 'eminem bad' train.

    Berzerk is not to be taken seriously. I think Eminem was being corny on purpose. i mean "this is your jam unless you got toe jam"? no lol come on. Rap God is a great track. the flow is great for the song, the beat is simple but really works for the song, and the only cringe line on the song is the "batter other women/baking a cake line". this song is catchy and lyrical. its a song that can be accepted on the radio and in the underground. he fused rap and pop flawlessly in this track. and he even says he did in the song. to me that's special.

    Honestly I liked every single song off the SSLP, MMLP, and TES. Encore I just didn't like tracks 7 through 14. Relapse I loved everything but I could do without We Made You and Medicine Ball. Recovery was pretty dope overall. MMLP2 was awesome aside from The Monster (only because it didn't fit at all) oh and Stronger Than I Was would have been great without the singing. Overall (especially off his main albums) Eminem has put out some of the best rap music I've ever heard. Lyrically and on a technical level only few in the world can come close to what he does. I hope he comes back to battle rap one day, THAT would be awesome.

      ***** Most people worship him? Where do you live? I'm sorry my opinion differs from yours. Odds are if you talk to a Beetles fan about their albums they're gonna pull the same shit... If you talk to a hardcore fan about anyone they're gonna do that. The difference is I have actual, long, thought out reasonings for why I'd give each album a 10/10. I think Rakim's discography is nearly perfect too. I'm just not as vocal about it because no one ever talks about Rakim.

    • @il100374
      @il100374 8 лет назад +15

      ***** EXACTLY. I am 100% objective. I have never in my life liked an Eminem song just because it was by Eminem. Which is why I so passionately hate the middle section of Encore. Yeezus is garbage, I agree. Kanye fell off hard, just not as hard as people think. People like songs because A. they're popular B. The song has a good beat or C. because the song is by a particular artist. I'm a rhyming fanatic and I love when people can so cleverly rhyme up to 12-14 syllables in concession while telling a consistent/badass story. This is why I gravitate towards dudes like Eminem, Rakim, sometimes Nas, etc. I'm not obsessed with the dude. I just respect him and some others a lottt... Just preference my man, I don't wanna argue anymore.

He has beaten drug addiction, bad relationships, and issues concerning his race in a black-dominated genre. He has stated he could have done even better with some of his previous records. Basically, he accepts all criticisms and he overcomes them.
    So why is it that Eminem can admit to his own mistakes both in his career and life, yet the majority of Eminem-elitists still act like he is perfect? If you were a true Eminem fan, you wouldn't trample his statements and you would accept that he was never perfect to begin with. I despise myself for making a Drake reference, but Eminem literally started from the bottom and now he's here. He's not done making records, because as a wise man once said "If you believe there's nothing left to learn in your craft, then it is time to retire.".

      ^Thats exactly what I think to myself sometimes.I hate people that listen to EMINEM just to look cool.I hate people that listen to rap in general without paying attention to lyric ability, meaning,and flow.I especially hate rap with no meaning,but I'm getting off topic.Most people at my school try to rap to eminem,and myself cringe to this because the fact they don't pay attention to his skill.They just try to impress people.I am trying to be a rapper myself so this is one thing I feel I should do,pay attention to rhyme schemes,and flow.

  • @MCAndyT
    @MCAndyT 9 лет назад +63

    I think Eminem is at his best when he is being humorous. I think his true "cringe-worthy" work is his overtly emotional/confessional/serious material because I think his lyrics get too constrained by the concept he's trying too dutifully to convey. When he is the most amoral and aggravating is when his best word play comes out. He's best when he's trolling: one second his rhymes are profound & clever, and the next moment homophobic or misogynistic or regurgitating old idioms. I think his flow is most effective when he won't let well enough be alone, he's unwilling to give us what we want in a steady stream. Its like an AC current of attraction & repulsion. He's giving us the best and the worst, and it is his form (stellar flow) that keeps the listener's attention till the end. And then at the end of the song, I'm not quite sure how I feel about it, but I did enjoy the ride and wouldn't mind a second listen.

    • @bryanheater2730
      @bryanheater2730 9 лет назад +23

      I'd have to disagree. Some of his best work is the serious stuff. Mockingbird, Sing for the Moment, Beautiful, etc. The raw emotion in those songs are something I admire and can relate to my own personal struggles as a human being. I think that's something that makes Eminem so great. He has this uncanny ability to relate his own struggles to other people in the world. That's just my take on it.

    The comment section is cancer, it's basically people complaining that Eminem isn't the same as he once was when he was much younger, people complaining about him in general or people stating he's overrated.
    Even though that like his recent material these days aren't allowed to do so without people stating it sucks as if it's some sort of fact, even though it's all completely subjective.
    The irony is, many of these complainers, complaining about Eminems mainstream direction are freaking Drake fans.

    I loved all the songs that Eminem has on the MMLP2 and I think that yes, some of the lyrics on Rap God could be changed but the instrumental part seems to fit the flow pretty well. Also Berzerk was a very instrumental song, but at least to me, it wasn't overwhelming and it was a kind of cool switch to the normal balance.

    Rap God highlights Eminem's strengths and weaknesses:
    -Incredible technical rapping ability
    -Horrible, corny punchlines
    Rap God offers nothing in terms of lyrical content. It's just a guy rapping words that rhyme together really fast.

    • @tomlv2224

    • @wbip4879
      @wbip4879 9 лет назад +13

      Tom Lv But that's his point, the song is essentially "punchline god" because Eminem constantly inserting terrible punchlines packed with the finest corn. Even though Em has technical ability it doesn't really show. Rap Critic described this very well in his Berzerk review: (paraphrasing) "The lyrics are great and clever but he puts too much emphasis on the punchlines". (blip.tv/rapcritic/rap-critic-reviews-berzerk-by-eminem-6657127)
      My personal opinion is that Berzerk and Rap God are easily the worst tracks on MMLP2 (obviously excluding Stronger Than I Was), and I also hate the Rap God instrumental which kinda ruins it for me.

    Is this the reason that Eminem ended up copying the “Licensed to Ill” artwork on his next album?
    Way too big of a coincidence to be one.

      Despite the fact that nothing on Kamikaze sounds anything like anything the Beastie Boys have ever done.

      @@loganleatherman7647 The cover for Berzerk should've been "Licensed To Ill" inspired, instead of Kamikaze.

    What makes it so crazy to wrap your head around him is the fact that he does a lot of different things well but and I feel this is why people hate on him so much for bad projects. Because he has moments where he slips up with each aspect of his music. So if it's a project that falls short it's like fuck man he had some corny punchlines. Or man that shit was deep but the hook was a too sing-songy. Ect. Ends up being an attack on him as a whole. When he completely kills it on many songs and projects.

    I am so up and down with what what ant say on em stuff.
    I have my personal hands ups with listening to em for the past decade(s) but I still feel a bit of weird bias I can't put my finger on.

    MMLP II is not his greatest album, but it is probably the best album since Encore. I'm still a fan, though. I totally get your opinion, though. And mostly agree with your opinion of Berzerk. I think in the flow of the album it works, but as a single it was a poor choice. Rap God, though, is nearly perfect. Should have been the first single and everyone would have loved it.

    I agree in some points you gave, although let me just take you back to one of many Eminem's biggest track. "Mosh" in the line he says "Let me simplify the rhyme just to amplify the noise". I've liston to Eminem since I'm 8 years old, and I know I'm not an expert, and I also know, that many people have more knowledge than me, but I think that in that quote you'll find Em giving you an answer to his "Simple jokes" or lines.
