Eminem Recovery Leaked (Link)

[plat1numX]

This album will surprise a lot of people...7 years in the making

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=T426DQ2T

[J_Rock3ts]

let's see man. i've been disappointed with every eminem album after the marshall mathers lp. (eminem show grew on me, but didn't like it the first few listens). i'll post my opinion in a bit.

[v-unit]

7 years in the making? You forgot about Relapse (Lucky you)?

[plat1numX]

7 years in the making? You forgot about Relapse (Lucky you)?
This album makes relapse look like a joke :oldlol:

[v-unit]

This album makes relapse look like a joke :oldlol:

Although he sounds like a completely different artist (I still prefer the pre-retirement Eminem) the first track is already better than any track on Relapse minus Beautiful. Chorus is kinda sick on the first track

****in' Relapse :roll:

[InspiredLebowski]

When it says "featuring Kobe," is that the Kobe we all know and love or some rapper I've never heard of?

[plat1numX]

Good question :lol

[Eggy]

Is this the real album?

[flipogb]

I believe he sings, and no its not Kobe Bryant

[Black Joker]

checking it out right now

[shafir]

Can't wait to listen to this- good looks OP

[InspiredLebowski]

I believe he sings, and no its not Kobe Bryant
Yeah, it's some shitty singer

[highwhey]

eh....not feelin it, maybe some of the songs will grow on me. not afraid grew on me.

[PowerGlove]

Listened to it and...Drake>Eminem.
Dont quote me bro!!

[plowking]

Listened to it and...Drake>Eminem.
Dont quote me bro!!

You listened to the album in under 30 minutes?

[v-unit]

Dude kind of has that Drake syndrome now. Same flow on every track and his subject matter is kind of shitty. I hope he has another Beautiful/Hailies Song type of track on here

[v-unit]

"Going Through Changes"...Yesssssss. Great track

[J_Rock3ts]

3 tracks in, feelin it so far.

[plat1numX]

I just listened through it, one of my favorite tracks is No Love with Wayne...great song

[PowerGlove]

You listened to the album in under 30 minutes?
I was just trolling.:oldlol:

[Eggy]

Two tracks in and I'm feeling Talkin to myself, didn't really like the first track.

[NastaMaverick]

2nd half of this album shits on the first half.

[Maniak]

I posted a link to this like a few weeks ago :oldlol: But nobody saw the thread

[J_Rock3ts]

track 3 :bowdown:

[emsteez forreal]

who is seduction about?

[Puck]

Listened to 8 tracks so far. Going through Changes best track so far. Seduction is nice to listen to.

[miller-time]

why is there no d12 track? he has one on every album except the last two.

[Kobe Jnr]

Saddle up and ride!

[Puck]

Space Bound is a good track.

[emsteez forreal]

HOLY ****. space bound.

[Eggy]

Space Bound is a good track.
Yeah it is, amazing.

[SevereUpInHere]

Anyone got a tracklist? all the ones online seem to have a different number of tracks. And none of the tracks on the download seem to have names on them.

Sounds good so far!

they pretty much disbanded after proof died. it's a shame too, because those tracks were some of the better ones on their respective albums.

devil's night is one of rap's more underrated albums, imo.

No, Em said he was working with them on their third album. At least that's what I remember.

[Swaggin916]

track 3 :bowdown:

Best track by far :bowdown:

Got that evil ass piano with the Dre Drums and he kills it

[Kobe Jnr]

Has Eminem said anything about the album leaking?

[shlver]

What's the 17th track in the download?

[plowking]

Not impressed...

[Black Joker]

i like it so far. on track 11

[miller-time]

No, Em said he was working with them on their third album. At least that's what I remember.

they must be getting pissed though, 6 years waiting for eminem and no features.

[plat1numX]

so bad is a smooth track

[OneMoreSucka]

Song with rihanna gets a thumbs up. Everything else I can do without.

[Hibachi!]

Anyone know what the 17th track is?

[shafir]

It's a bonus track called My Friend Till the End- deep track

[OhNoTimNoSho]

When it says "featuring Kobe," is that the Kobe we all know and love or some rapper I've never heard of?
It is kobe and he actually explains that whole modeling fiasco and why he did, very insightful shit.

[PowerGlove]

Song with rihanna gets a thumbs up. Everything else I can do without.
That song is sick.

i'm really liking this album!!

[Kobe Jnr]

Noice album! I'm enjoying it a lot!

[Hibachi!]

love the way you lie is gonna be a radio hit, callin it

[shlver]

I like this album a lot. Nice rebound from his previous albums.

[bokes15]

The album was pretty good. Not as good as his old stuff but definitely better than relapse. And one thing I'll always respect about em is that he's real with his lyrics. He's not afraid to say whatever is really on his mind.

[Fallguy20]

Im not going to say, "He's BAAACK!!!"

but at worst its an amazing rebound from Relapse. I was worried it was ballgame after that one...

[Captain Kirk]

Hmm, there's 16 tracks? I only got 15 in what I DL'd. Or did I lose one when I updated the album info in WMP?

[takeittothehoop]

It has been leaked for a while. I"ll have to look at which songs this one has.

[A.R.T]

Listened to it and...Drake>Eminem.
Dont quote me bro!!

Hope you get to watch your family burn alive at some point in your life

[v-unit]

This album is so weird because Eminem has great production all of a sudden. Blows all of his other beats out of the water. Just Blaze did his thing

[JustinJDW]

Alright, I listened to the first ten tracks. Really loving this albulm so far. Shits on Relapse. I'm glad Eminem rebounded with this shit. Only song I didn't like so far was "White Trash Party". Wasn't feeling that one, and "Won't Back Down" with Pink was ok.

All the other tracks were pretty damn good. On Fire is sick. Going Through Changes is sick. Not Afraid and Seduction were really good tracks. No Love with Lil Wayne was really ****ing sick. And Space Bound was ****ing mind blowingly amazing. I don't know, my mind felt like it was going through a ****ing dream listening to that shit. Best track on this albulm so far.

This albulm is pretty sick. Amazing rebound from Relapse.

[shlver]

Space Bound is the best song on this album.

[Scribbles]

25 to life and Almost Famous is amazing

[bisk]

Yup, can't get enough of 'Almost Famous':bowdown:

[Button]

drop the world with lil wayne isnt on it ? or airplanes pt2 ?

[yungtyrekeevans]

ayo the lyrics be tight.

"ill show you pussi footin ill kick a bittch in the kunt until she queefs and it sounds like a fukkin whoopee cushion."

shit is tight

[macmac]

Still no eminem or marshal matters lp but some good songs on here...going through changes, spacebound and no love are all real nice, i can actually bump eminem again....something I couldn't have done in the past few years.

[macmac]

So bad sounds a bit like his older tracks...it feels refreshing

[S13M]

Thanks for the link. Space bound is probably my favorite song so far.

[Hotbullets]

**** YES! This is what I wanted. Thank you!

This shit's banging!

[netsfan549]

so far I love it. especially the one with kobe. I am waiting for Lyrics to come outtt

[flipogb]

great album, this is a play through the whole thing type of good

which is the opposite of Relapse where there was only 1 good song (Beautiful) while the rest were garbage

[Jailblazers7]

This is pretty damn good.

[DC's Finest]

Em gained back alot of respect with this one.
At least from me

[netsfan549]

anybody here ahve tracklist? thanks

[nolebball]

wow this Kobe guy really ****ing sucks

[Captain Kirk]

What's the 17th track? I don't have a title for it.

[nolebball]

They call me the Stephon Marbury of rap darling, because as soon as they throw on some R. Kelly I start balling/bawling

:oldlol: :oldlol: :oldlol:

Yeah I couldn't find that one either.

Listening to this album reminded me of my early 00`s and how much i loved rap then. Cheers for Em` cutting on drugs

I like a lot of the songs, but the one with lil waynee is my favourite..

[Captain Kirk]

17. "Here We Go" (hidden track) Havoc 3:14

Thanks

[blasian]

this might go down as the best comeback album in hip hop since Stillmatic...

[Fallguy20]

Talkin to Myself, Going Through Changes, Im Not Afraid, No Love, Love the Way You Lie, You're Not Over= 5 stars

Looking at this, the way you know its good (even if your only the casual listener) is everybody has their personal favs on here. My personal top 3:

1) No Love
2)Talkin to Myself
3) Love the Way You Lie

but damn, its gonna change cause its all so damn close right now.

:applause:

[Cannonball]

anyone got another link??? this one is dead.

[nba_55]

NICE!
Album of the year!
Best songs till now space bound, love the way you lie, not afraid, no love, almost famous...

I actually like it. Solid album and much better than Relapse.

[Captain Kirk]

For me it's just ok. Not bad at all, but there isn't any particular song that really jumps out at me as being something I'll be listening to for the next month at least. There are a few songs I like, but I don't know...it's just not as great for me as for everyone else I guess.

great cd

[playtetris]

i'm listening, so far i think the joint with weezy and track 3 are the best. the album is pretty mediocre, though. em doesn't really RIDE the beats and his voice sounds mad abrasive. the choruses are all horrible (why sing for?) too.

still, this is a great improvement over the last album. still a 5/10 album though

I'd give it more than a 5 but the abrasive part I totally agree with. He seems to fighting against the beat instead of the way he used to use flow with it in his younger days.

i can't give an album more than 5/10 if i don't enjoy more than 1/3 of the tracks. even the tracks that are semi-decent are ruined by tragic hooks. most of the beats aren't my cup of tea, either.

he is certainly spitting, but his flow is horrible. how people consider this guy the best rapper in the game when he can't stay in the pocket is beyond me.

great 1, but dont think its real, since i found like 5 diff recovery ''albums''

lol what are you talking about? Do you think they would put this much effort into brand new songs with such heavy production and well written lyrics with such a properly paced album just to fake out a couple downloading kids online?

What a retarded concept. You must not be aware of your surroundings, or of reality in general to spew such nonsense.

You should switch your name from button to butters

god ur so naive, im saying this isnt final yet, there will be songs added removed, since i found like 5 of these ''leaked'' albums.
I got like 30 full songs from eminem now who are suppose to be on the recovery album.

but well see when the album comes out

I'm the one that's naive, butters? I've seen enough fake albums/mixtapes before and i've seen enough full bodies of work that flow together to differentiate the two. Anyways, you're a chump....if Just lose it or Drop the World is on a different one of your downloads, doesn't mean they're rereleasing it for Recovery.

so if im getting this right, ur saying now, this download is the real deal, no numbers from this list get removed and 0 get added ?

that just makes me feel sorry for you :)

You feel sorry for me? Unless you're a strong advocate of ignorance is bliss, I don't see the need to feel sympathetic, unless you're inferring that you're apologizing for wasting my goddamn time.

Are they gonna add a bonus hidden song that plays twenty minutes after track 17 or add some special bonus code downloadable content off the back of the CD case? I dunno and that was never in question, but the album is coming out in two weeks with pretty much this tracklist. Deal with it kid.

Man, I can easily say that this is one of Eminem's best album by far. None of that goofy stuff on this album.

[DoubleTech]

loving this album.

almost famous is my favourite track

[netsfan549]

Man get these whack **********s off stage
Where the f-ck is Kanye when you need him?

[CAAIDN]

Definitely nice. Better than Relapse by a mile. Going through changes is my favourite song. Some nice production too.

[TruthKGRay3412]

Sick album.

Everyone can guess my favorite song..


Yeah, my life a b-tch, but you know nothing bout her
Been to hell and back, I can show you vouchers
I’m rolling Sweets, I’m smoking sour
Married to the game but she broke her vows
That’s why my bars are full of broken bottles
And my night stands are full of open Bibles
I think about more than I forget
But I don’t go around fire expecting not to sweat
And these ****** know I lay them down, make their bed
bitches try to kick me while I’m down: I’ll break your leg
Money outweighing problems on the triple beam
I’m sticking to the script, you ****** skipping scenes
Be good or be good at it
****ing right I’ve got my gun, semi-Cartermatic
Yeah, put a dick in their mouth, so I guess it’s “f-ck what they say”
I’m high as a bitch: up, up and away
Man, I come down in a couple of days
OK, you want me up in the cage, then I’ll come out in beast mode
I got this world stuck in the safe, combination is the G-code
It’s Weezy motherf-cker, blood gang and I’m in bleed mode
All about my dough but I don’t even check the peephole
So you can keep knocking but won’t knock me down
No love lost, no love found

[OneMoreSucka]

[Meticode]

After listening from track 1 to 17 this is by far Eminem's best album since The Eminem Show, but it's no where near the status or on the level of the Eminem Show. Which shows how bad Encore and Relapse actually was.

My favorite song on the album by far is "Love the Way You Lie" with Rihanna. It's one of the few songs on the album where it sounds like he's not totally yelling his lungs out rapping, the chorus is good with Rihanna and his flow with the beat sounds the best off the album.

Is it a step above Relapse? Yes. It a step above Encore? Yes. It's very evident Eminem is getting towards the end of his career and it wouldn't be a horrible thing if he left his career on this note.

[Grinder]

I really like this.

I actually like this album so much better than Encore and Relapse but...Encore seems that you thought it's gonna be classic when you heard the first 5 songs.
Like Evil Deeds, Never Enough, Yellow Brick Road, Like Toy Soliders, Mosh.

MMLP>>SSLP>>TES>>>Recovery>>Relapse>>>Encore>>

But actually I liked Infinite more than Recovery, Relapse, Encore because it's more like an underground album and I really want to say Infinite is better than The Eminem Show but I can't.

Infinite will always been underrated simply because it was totally different style he was using before he became a commercial success. Eminem admitted he was trying to find his style back when it was recorded.

I agree with your ranking, and I can't argue with it, but personally for me The Eminem Show was his best album. Out of 15 songs, I liked 14 of them off the album.

[Rockets(T-mac)]

The chorus of "almost famous" is kind of annoying, I think the same person did the chorus for 25 to life, that voice is just annoying.

[NastaMaverick]

12/17 tracks are solid. album of the year. :D

[Meticode]

Fair enough. Infinite does remind me of Illmatic but when I heard Slim Shady LP, I was like this dude is totally sold out.

Nah, MMLP was his best album and best worked. You can tell The Eminem Show (He started more matured with his 3rd album)......and you can tell he will be falling off for his next album like he did with Encore and I knew I was right.

On The Eminem Show? Out of 15 songs but you only liked 14?.....To Me MMLP, you don't have any hate songs on MMLP but maybe "The Real Slim Shady".

Most of the tracks off The Marshall Mathers LP much better than The Eminem Show tracks.

Kill You
Stan
Who Knew
The Way I Am
Remember Me? (Sticky Fingaz killed this track but I felt like it tires with Eminem.....Sticky Fingaz killed for opening verse, Eminem killed for ending verse.....PERFECT TRACK!)
Marshall Mathers (Hard solid and took shot at DMX)
Drug Ballad
Amityville
***** Please II
Kim
Under the Influence
Criminal

Most of those tracks are better than The Eminem Show.

I actually like "Without Me" better than "The Real Slim Shady".

[v-unit]

The Eminem Show is easily at least his second best album. I would have it above MMLP but beacuse MMLP has Stan and Way I Am I have it above everything else. Highly underrated

Under The Influence, Amityville, Drug Ballad...The first two have nice lyrics but as songs they aren't that nice. Drug Ballad is on SSLP level aka really immature

I'm not getting into you with it, but that's why I said "personally". I prefer to listen to the Eminem Show over all his other albums he's ever released. I have nothing else to say to that.

All right, fair enough. I still see nothing wrong with someone pick The Eminem Show because it's one of his classic album so he has 3 classic albums (SSLP, MMLP, TES)....I can't blame on you.

[Fallguy20]

12/17 tracks are solid. album of the year. :D

I came to the same conclusion (give or a take a single song) and I think its most impressive that everybody has their own personal favorite to this album.

[miller-time]

MMLP is eminems best album, i think most people will concede that.

SSLP and The Eminem Show are both good albums.

Encore and Relapse are Ok. nothing really special but both had a few good songs.

I'd definatley put recovery up with SSLP and The Eminem Show. i can't really put them in any order. i have a bias towards The Eminem Show because i have alot of memories from that time in my life and that was my most played album for 02/03.

[JustinJDW]

I may be alone on this, but I personally think The Eminem Show was Eminem's best albulm, or at least on the same level as MMLP. Its just much more mature and the subject matter was better. There weren't any songs like "Hailie's Song", "Sing for the Moment" or "When the Music Stops" in MMLP.

Yeah, I know MMLP was a step to a more personal and real Eminem compared to SSLP, but I just thought the Eminem Show showed more of a growth of Eminem as an artist.

Still though, Marshall Mathers LP was ****ing amazing. It had Stan, the Way I Am and the Real Slim Shady, which are like what, three of his best songs?

MMLP = Eminem Show > SSLP > Encore = Recovery > Relapse

Relapse was garbage.

I may be alone on this, but I personally think The Eminem Show was Eminem's best albulm, or at least on the same level as MMLP. Its just much more mature and the subject matter was better. There weren't any songs like "Hailie's Song", "Sing for the Moment" or "When the Music Stops" in MMLP.

Yeah, I know MMLP was a step to a more personal and real Eminem compared to SSLP, but I just thought the Eminem Show showed more of a growth of Eminem as an artist.

Still though, Marshall Mathers LP was ****ing amazing. It had Stan, the Way I Am and the Real Slim Shady, which are like what, three of his best songs?

MMLP = Eminem Show > SSLP > Encore = Recovery > Relapse

Relapse was garbage.

Recovery is way better than encore.

Also, it s a little early to judge all the album because some of the songs take time to grow on you.

This CD will be in rotation for a while.

How many tracks does everyone have? I've heard 16, 17, and even 20 so far.

[DoubleTech]

at 2:50 of Almost Famous slim squeezes in "antidisestablishmentarianism" into his song... haha, what a guy.

Officially it has 17 tracks, 16 listed. The 17th track is a hidden track called "Here We Go" that's untitled. As far as a deluxe edition with bonus tracks? Haven't see anything about it, but the official release is 17 tracks and 17 songs, no skits.

Rumor has it its a double CD, relapse which was scrapped is downloadable :pimp:

let's see man. i've been disappointed with every eminem album after the marshall mathers lp. (eminem show grew on me, but didn't like it the first few listens). i'll post my opinion in a bit.

My opinion is quite the opposite ... I personally feel his albums progressed as well as himself as an artist, album after album. In other words, Slim Shady LP was his worst (mainstream release), followed by his 2nd worst, MMLP, then ES, then Encore, Relapse and finally his best work, Recovery.

If you ask the average Eminem fan, or rap fan, they'd probably averagely rank his albums in this order:

MMLP
Eminem Show
Slim Shady LP
Recovery
Relapse
Encore

You can almost interchange everything between MMLP and Encore (according to your average Em fan) ... but I'm a little different in my opinion of him and his works in the rap game.

Overtime, he grew on me. I hated Slim Shady LP with a couple of exceptions. Dude just came across as a complete tool. I mean, his debut that jump-started his career was "My Name Is" ... and just IMO, made me cringe watching the video and listening to the song. I felt just about the exact same towards the entire debut album.

Again, not much of a fan of MMLP either. Eminem Show, an improvement. Everyone hated Encore, but I felt it was vastly underrated. Relapse, even better! ... then finally, Recovery was just pure vintage, real, matured, gimmick-free, dope music.

I believe he's progressed as a rapper, entertainer, etc. He's not really into the whole blonde hair, blue eyes bullshit gimmicks... just being more real, and it's obviously expressed in his lyrics, etc.

Production wise, I'm about on the same level. Meaning, each album progressed with each release.

So many fans hold MMLP so high, but it's nothing compared to Recovery. The supposed "hardcore" more backpackerish fanatics consider SSLP the pinnacle of his professional work (excluding any underground material), while Encore being enhanced garbage, followed by Eminem Show, then a toss up for some of the others.

I don't feel like breaking down the entire Recovery album, but I will admit LOL, I'm a bit behind the curve, b/c not until just yesterday and today did I have the opportunity to listen to Recovery in its entirety. It's a damn good album. I expected Relapse to be the victor over Recovery, but I was wrong.

Recovery > Relapse > Encore < ES < MMLP > SSLP

... what's your own personal ranking of Em's albums?

:confusedshrug:

PS... Eminem *admitting* he felt like he let fans down with Encore and Relapse was a bitch-move. That's some Canibus type shit ("I can't help it, mutha ****in' Wyclef spoiled it!") ... instead of being a true G, someone like Nas saying "you wanted to be on every last one of my classics; you pop shit then apologize ***** just ask 'Kiss"

Even though we all know Nas didn't release 4 classics up until that point, it's his own personal charisma, belief in himself, etc. that helped elevate himself back in the game with Stillmatic; and while Em got back in the game too by dropping a great album in Recovery, he still admitted he was trash on prior albums, and that he owed it to fans to bring back some mega ill shit.

LOL, dude, fu*k the fans... if they didn't like Encore or Relapse, then fu*k 'em! There's no reason for any rap artist to kiss the ass of your typical hip hop culture / rap music fan. I think sometimes, professional rap critics, most fans, popular urban central DJs, producers, etc - feel the actual rap artists themselves should be bending over backwards to recognize that without all the other pieces, they wouldn't amount to jack shit.

... in terms of having the right production (producer, producers, etc) this holds some validity; but the other elements such as over-the-top fan support etc. isn't going to make or break a rap artists career.

I really can't tell if this is a serious post or not. I'm a HUGE Eminem fan and hold him to high regard but Recovery was at best a 'decent' album. It was way too radio friendly and didn't have a solid theme behind it, not to mention the fact that he wanted to scream on the entire album. Thank the Lord it at least seems like he's stopped screaming on his tracks from his appearances on Obie Trice's album and Slaughterhouse's album.

Let's be real, SSLP and MMLP are both great albums but MMLP was just so amazing for what it was, a huge **** YOU to America and everyone for labeling him essentially as the devil. To this day it was the easiest album I have ever listened to all the way through. So many great songs and just stupid insane lyrical content. Stan is one of hip hop's greatest achievements. That song is genius.

The Eminem Show was good but it too was not as cohesive as MMLP nor did it have as many classic tracks. Sing for the moment was great but the real classic was Till I Collapse which until this day is the ultimate pump up song.

Encore was TERRIBLE. That album really takes away from Eminem's legacy. WTF were Dre and the label thinking when they released that garbage. Songs like Puke, Big Weenie, Rain Man, Ass Like That, WTF was he thinking. He made Just Lose it why did he make another gimmicky song in Ass Like That. I also cringe at the thought of how dope an album he would of made if he wasn't so ****ed up on drugs at the time. Evil Deeds is such a banging beat and Eminem just took that sick beat and mostly sang some bullshit GOD it pisses me off. TERRIBLE ALBUM.

Relapse was not as bad as people say, lyrically it was solid. Ignore the accents, and songs like Stay Wide Awake, Deja Vu, My Mom, Insane, 3 AM are all solid songs. Beautiful was a gem, great song. Underground was AWESOME, but Deja Vu was the best song off the album. Just a great track that brings you into what it was like to be him during his addiction. Overall decent album, I wish it stuck more to the theme and followed the story of his journey getting out of rehab from the beginning skit Dr. West.

Recovery was Eminem reaching to get new fans, mainly young women who have no idea that Eminem talks shit about idiotic fans and women in many of his songs.

Really Eminem's best project in almost a decade was the Bad Meets Evil project. Him and Royce have ridiculous chemistry and complement each other so well. They killed every track and made all types of songs, from Lighters to I'm on Everything. They need to make a full album with adequate time and producers. Bad Meets Evil makes way better music than Slaughterhouse to be honest.

So yeah I have no idea how you could think Recovery was his best album. :biggums:

I was completely serious. Different people, different opinions. I was spot-on with saying your typical fan would highly praise MMLP, etc... just as you have expressed in your post. I didn't even read the rest, b/c I know it would validate the rest of what I was getting at. All good. Nothing wrong with that.

If you asked Em himself, he'd probably say in his own personal opinion, his best and favorite album is Recovery; that's he's most proud of, etc.

Bad Meets Evil was decent... but IMO, little replay value. It gets played quite quickly. I would love to hear a Dre and Em "duo" album. That would be sick.

OK, I did read some more of your post LOL. You said ignore some tracks off Relapse ... like "Insane" ... DUDE ARE YOU PERSONALLY INSANE?! That's fire. Through and through, pure sickness. Being a typical Eminem fan such as yourself, it doesn't surprise me you would find such a deep, dark, incredibly wicked and just dope track to be trash. I prefer Em's more experimental songs compared to his more conventional and "safe" songs he releases to appeal to his major fan base (people like you)...

^ correction ... you said Insane was a "decent" song. I misread into it. IMO, Insane is the album's best track. Yes, I realize I'm in the minority.

In terms of Encore, Puke was remarkable. It's simplicity is what makes it so great. Also, the fact that almost everyone hates it, makes it more appealing. It's really a sick tune (literally, pun-intended); same for Rain Man and Big Weenie ... they grow on you, and you just have to appreciate them for what they are. If Encore was Em just throwing shit together to release an album, then so be it. I can sit back and listen to Encore and get entertainment value out of it. I know it sounds crazy, but a hell of a lot more than his three albums prior to that.

Ass Like That and that song that disses MJ was trash. There are other trainwreck songs on there too I can't think of off the top of my head, but there's an equal amount of very entertaining shit to help offset the trash. Again, I'm not representing popular opinion of Encore, but it's an opinion nonetheless. A different perspective to an album most Em fans feel very indifferent to.

[Just2McFly]

I honestly think that Eminem has fallen into the great abyss and cannot make his way back. Almost every single featuring verse since 2010 has been below par, he's definitely lost something and this album, Recovery, wasn't that great in my opinion as well. Don't get me wrong, Em has crazy amounts of skill and talent, but he's stagnant right now.

I feel the exact opposite. His music is more "real" than ever. His word-play and flow on Relapse and especially Recovery, is the best he's ever been. He's broken away from the gimmicky "Hi, My name it!" and "please stand up!" ... "we made you!" ... bs material ... he's come into his own in terms of finally being a "real" rap artist.

Everyone seems to want the old "'cause slim shady... will fu*king kill you..."

What are you talking about. He spit out the craziest shit back in the day. He still spits some crazy stuff but he screams and isn't nearly as smooth as he used to be.

For example, Murder Murder off SSEP:
Left the keys in the van, with a gat in each hand
Went up in Eastland and shot a policeman
**** a peace plan of citizen bystands
But shit is in my hands, here's your life span
For what your life's worth this money is twice than
Grab a couple grand and live a nice land
See I'm a nice man but money turned me to Satan
I'm thirsty for this green so bad I'm dehydratin'
Hurry up with the cash bitch, I got a ride waitin'
Shot a man twice in the back when he tried escapin'
I want the whole pie, I won't be denied nathan
Maybe I need my head inside straightened
Brain contemplatin', clean out the register
Dip before somebody catches ya
Or gets ya description an' sketches ya
The connection was the prime suspect
But I ain't set to flee the scene of the crime just yet
Cuz I got a daughter to feed
And $200 ain't enough to water the seed
The best thing would be for me to leave Taco Bell an' hit up Chess King
And have the lady at the desk bring
Money from the safe in the back, stepped in wavin' the Mac
Cooperate and we can operate and save an attack
This bitch tried escapin' the jack
Grabbed her by the throat, it's murder she wrote
You barely heard a word as she choked
It wasn't nuttin' for her to be smoked
But I slammed her on her back 'til her vertebrae broke
Just then the pigs bust in yellin' "Freeze!"
But I'm already wanted for sellin' keys
And bunch of other felonies from A to Z like spellin' bees
So before I dropped to the ground and fell on knees
I bust shots, they bust back
Hit the square in the chest, he wasn't wearin' a vest

Then look at this small verse from Bad Meets Evil off SSLP:
I don't speak, I float in the air wrapped in a sheet
I'm not a real person, I'm a ghost trapped in a beat
I translate when my voice is read through a sismograph
And a noise is bred, picked up and transmitted through Royce's head (AAHHH)
Trapped him in his room, possessed him and hoist his bed
Till the evilness flows through his blood like poisonous lead
Told him each one of his boys is dead

Your telling me as a 'rapper' and 'emcee' that he has gotten better this? His flow used to be so smooth and he could follow the beat instead of screaming and fighting the beat.

[Legend of Josh]

What am I talking about? I'm talking about my own personal opinion not being shared by your typical Eminem fan (such as yourself and the other 85% who feel MMLP was his best album, etc etc etc to the other points I've made).

The main focal point of my position is his music is less gimmicky these days are more real. Going from "My Name Is" to "Talkin' 2 Myself" exhibits the evolution in his emcee persona and overall "brand" he offers to the rap game.

I'm simply saying he's moving in the right direction; growing as an artist, etc. - whereas most fans wish upon stars at night praying pretty pretty please let Em go back to his lame, corny Slim Shady LP days where he sounds like a little boy, then turned a little thug on MMLP (which IMO, the persona he presents seems forced and not his true self).

Release and most notably Recovery - Eminem is the most genuine and real he's ever been.

This. I really try my best to get into his music these days, but it feels so different, flat, and tame compared to the past. And it has nothing to do with him being more aggressive in the past, its everything from the lyrics to the sound of the music. Sounds less rap and more of some alternative pop hop.

I know he can still spit with the best of them, but his last two albums haven't delivered.

Well if you like the way he's going then how do you feel about his appearance's on Pink and Rihanna's projects. I tried to ignore the fact that they are gonna be pop songs but even then the music is so garbage. WTF is he thinking.

I haven't followed his work with either of them. I'm not some die-hard Eminem fan or whatever. I just recognize IMO, he's improving as he progresses and matures.

What is it that doesn't deliver? Eminem's lyrics, flow, delivery? Is it the overall production or "sound" ... "vibe" ... etc. that just doesn't do it for you?
