Re: "The Official" Eminem Thread

Like many the Slim Shady and MM albums I really enjoyed... but I didn't listen to much after that.

That whole Whitey Ford thing

Maybe it's my sick side but I really liked Bonnie & Clyde



He really has made some cool/ funny videos that's for sure.

Porn star cameo... love the Bret Michaels bandana removal

My favorites:









Plus some of the hits like Forgot About Dre, Cleaning Out My Closet, Without Me, My Name Is... and some other cuts like I'm Shady, Dad's Gone Crazy, Ill You... and a whole bunch of his other stuff. Love Eminem. First 3 (major) albums are great, and I like Encore as well. A lot of people say Encore is his worst album but I think it had some of the sickest beats Eminem's ever had, just this sort of dark beats with a heavy atmosphere, reminds of Presence to be honest (Zep) because it's so weighty. The latest two albums Em did.. not so much my thing. Maybe I'll get into them some day down the road but seems stale to me so far.

I do like the song he did with Bobby Ray and Paramore's illustrious Haley Williams.... The chorus tugs on my heart strings like a fudrucker.



But I actually like the version without him more....



His original group D12 was pretty good too. Well, their first record was pretty weak but D12 World is ace. I hate club music so I really love when Eminem makes fun of that bullspit....

@ CN and AAG-I can respect the liking of his early material! I like a lot of it but I honestly think his rhymes are crazier than ever now and I think it has a lot to do with a new found clarity and inspiration. On his last album he finally got out of the rut of talking about the trio of Mom, Ex-wife and daughter in every song. It feels fresh and every line has me hanging!

@ Cosmic-I love Space Bound! Cool track to get into!

@ Terra-Yeah his stuff is definitely funny! The fact that he can go from light to dark from one song to another is a great trait!

I was listening to Eminem's Recovery album today. It's absolutely the most amazing album I have heard from him. And yes, I do love his earlier work, like the Marshall Mathers stuff, but I really think that when he released Relapse, it wasn't his best work, but when he released Recovery, he made up for it indefinitely. One of the best hip hop artists hands down.

I like Relapse quite a bit but Recovery does have that epic stamp on it and is great! Relapse is underrated and honestly I think Eminem has only gotten better with time!

Granted I only gave the Relapse album like...2 listens. I think it was the way he approached it was what I didn't like. I'd have to give it another listen. I think he's getting better too. He has the quickest hip hop style. Especially with this song:



I don't like Lil Jon all that much, but Eminem does a phenomenal job.

I think you meant Lil Wayne, P&C.

Lil Jon is this guy;

YEAH!

Re: "The Official" Eminem Thread

I really like this new song from Dr. Dre featuring Eminem. Music starts about 2:40 in, but the whole video is worth a watch:

I Need a Doctor


Couple tracks to add:

Just Lose It


Toy Soldiers

^For some reason, when I saw the "Toy Soldiers" video you posted, the word "Mockingbird" came to mind, and now i'm thinking of that song:
