this is basically true. I think he's great when he's actually saying something ("Toy Soldiers") as opposed to just trying to shock people (the Christopher Reeves bit).

Fuck that! Toy Soldiers sucks.

That Christopher Reeves line was brilliant. I like when he pisses people off, who cares about Slim Shady's opinion on politics?

This album iss disappointing.

Big shock, haha.

that's cuz yr still in the shock-rock phaze. (You still like ICP, guy) :)

Does anyone else think the new one ALL SOUNDS THE FUCKING SAME?

Relapse >>> Recovery.

RELAPSE is awesome in retrospect.

relapse is way better than recovery

Yeah except for that song with Lil Wayne on it. By default, that one is worse than the rest. Overall, Recovery is definitely worse than Relapse. It's just so bland!

I say he hit his peak with the Slim Shady LP (y'know, when he was biting ESHAM the hardest). It's the record that Infinite, and his Soul Intent shit was building up to. Every album after it, has just gotten worse, and worse. I think he fell off completely after Eminem Show.

He hit his peak with The Marshall Mathers LP.

^ You're probably right, I do believe that is the general opinion. I just consider Slim Shady LP to be one of the greatest hip-hop releases of all time. So, even a great album like Marshall Mathers can't necessarily hold a flame to it for me.

Have you ever heard Infinite?



You'd like it a lot. It dropped just before SS LP, but features a more mature side of Mathers. It's a lot like MM LP but I like it much better:

Yeah I've heard it, it's cool.

Infinite is really good.

His old shit is insane, which is why it's such a shame that he's so lame now. I don't even get excited when I hear his verses on the radio... and I'm from Detroit! His stupid ass is plastered on like half the billboards here.

There's these clips on Youtube of him just slaughtering people in rap battles. Literally mindblowing, or that track Biterphobia off the Soul Intent cassette... it's unreal.

What kills me about Em is how hot or cold he is. I feel like there's no middle ground. He's either amazing, or shit. His songs are either amazing or shit. I'd even settle for "just ok" songs. But I either love them, or am annoyed by them. It's weird.

I'm twisted like a psychopath, I write my rhymes in blood
I don't got a DJ cause I a-cut him up
They won't let me on MTV I'd beat up Carson Daly
And remind Eminem of D'Angelo Bailey
Haley's in a coma, Haley's in a coma
I smell the aroma, of a dead body
Chemi-cal imbalance, Chemi-cal imbalance
Chemi-cal imbalance, Chemi-cal imbalance
