Why Relapse is Eminem's best album

>>71147467


The majority of the album consists of Eminem performing rhyme aerobics while pushing the envelope of atrocious lyrics as far as possible. This is the reason for the odd middle-Eastern accent which shady utilizes constantly. The accent helps Em bend words to complete more complex rhyme schemes. It sounds odd at first, but with enough listens, one might realize that the words seamlessly flow over each other, adding a defining touch to the album. The second verse of Stay Wide Awake, for example holds the same FOUR SYLLABLE rhyme scheme for nearly 2 full minutes. It is really quite an incredible feat. Admittedly, the insane crudeness of this album CAN get old. It's not every day that I want to be reminded that poor little 10 year old Marshall was supposedly force-fed Valium. Thankfully, the last fourth of it takes a turn. Marshall continues his tongue-in-cheek, sarcastic manner in what should be a very realistic view of a drug addict's shameful life in Deja Vu. Almost as if to hide his pain, Marshall jokingly rambles off a dark, solemn tale of how drugs have ruined his life. The last line of the final verse goes as follows, "Go in the room and shut the bedroom door and wake up with an ambulance, they said they found me on the bathroom floor, damn". The only truly self-aware part of the song is the chorus, in which Marshall explains to readers how alone he is and how he doesn't know how to climb out of the hole he has dug himself in. This track, immediately after an album of scurvy, rapey jokes adds up to an impressionable, heartrending musical collection. An allegory of a joking persona born from a dark, scary past of drugs and horror. This album truly is a masterpiece.

2/2

It's time to play a game, /mu/!

Is it copypasta or his genuine feelings?


(Seriously I can't tell...)

Genuine feelings, it is truly a masterpiece. Read this and listen. You will see what I'm saying. It's so underrated, man.

wrong album fammo

Eminem himself wasn't too happy with the album, as he admits on 'Not Afraid', and I don't personally think Relapse contends with most of his earlier stuff
