Official Eminem *Recovery* post Vol. 7th studio album 6/22/10

[nek32]

I must have subconsciously given up on Eminem years ago, because I thought Relapse was trash and I've listened to Recovery about 5 times now and think it's just as bad. I mean, I've REALLY tried to like this album, but I just don't. The beats are horrible and the hooks are even worse. I'm kind of feeling "Cold Wind Blows" and "25 to Life," but it's almost like I'm forcing myself to like them by default because they are the least crappy songs on the album. Maybe I was spoiled from having the pleasure of growing up with SSLP, MMLP, and Eminem Show and now my view of a good Eminem album is different. I personally thought that "Not Afraid" song was garbage and borderline annoying, so I wasn't really expecting much.

All the stans can chill before posting some stupid responses, I don't care what you think about MY opinion of an album....it's just my thoughts.

i dont think he will do more than 250k at most and Drake will outsell him for sure ... when you've outsold every artist for the last decade, you dont aim to sell anymore ... Em has gone on record saying he gave up on record sales and just wanted to go back to his roots and the way he rapped when him and proof first got together ... now his record company probably had some give and take with those rihanna and pink tracks, but he is lyrically on point with every verse no matter what the aim ...

That wasnt him. It was someone else. I forgot his SN, though.

How long will I be this way? Shady until my dying day
til I hang up the mic and it's time for me to say
So long, til then i drop the @#@**+# bombs
Like i miss the pass when I went long
If you don't like it you can kiss my %@* in a lint thong
Now sing along, !+++ this, !+++ that, learn the words to the song
Oh ***#$#% don't like that, homie I'll be nicer to women
When the aqua man drowns and the human torch starts swimming
Man I'm a cold soul, I roll solo so
So don't compare me to them other bums over there
It's like apples to oranges, peaches to plums yeah
I'm bananas #+*$%, cut off the grapes and grow a pair
But I swear, you try to diss me, I'll slaughter you
I put that on everything, like everyone does with auto-tune
That last thing you wanna do is have me spit out a rhyme
And say I was writing this and I thought of you so

1/5

*1st verse*
Now first of all I'm the boss
I just wanna get that across
Man even my Dentist hates when I floss
Pull up to the club in a Pinto likes it's a Porsche
Garbage bag on one of the windows
Spray-painted doors with the flames on 'em
Michigan plates and my name's on 'em
Baby, Shady's here come on get him
If you dames want 'em
But he ain't stupid so quit tryin' to run them games on him
He's immune to Cupid, why you tryin' to put your claims on him?
Cuz you won't do to me what you did to the last man
Now climb in back try not to kick over the gas can
There's a half a gallon in it, that could be our last chance
We have of just gettin' home, now could I get that lap dance?
She's got a tattoo of me right up off her $$!, man
In the streets of Warren, Michigan we call 'em tramp stamps
That means she belongs to me, time to put the damn clamps
Down and show this hussy who's the man
Now, get up, dance!

*Chorus*
Now you can do this on your own
But everyone knows that no one likes to be alone
So get on the floor and grab somebody!
Ain't nothin' but a White Trash Party!
So let's have us a little bash
And if anyone asks
If there ain't no one but us trash
You dunno, you better akse somebody
Cuz we're havin' a White Trash Party!

*2nd Verse*
Pull a fifth of Bacardi from outta my underwear
And walk around the party without a care
Like a body without a head
Lookin' like a zombie from Night of the Livin' Dead
And tomorrow I'll prolly still be too high to get outta bed
Til I feel like I been hit wit the sharp part'a the hammer
Mixin' Hennessey and Fanta with Pepto and Mylanta
I shoot to kill like I'm hollerin' "Die Santa!"
Miss the tree and hit Rudolph and two innocent bystanders
So quit tryin' ta play the wall like you pawlin'
Get on the floor when the beat drops and stop stallin'
They call me the Stephon Marbury of rap, darlin'
Cuz as soon as they throw on some R-Kelly I start ballin'
Makin' it rain for them ladies in the mini's
But I'm not throwin' ones, fives, tens, or even twenties
I'm throwin' quarters, nickels, dimes, pennies up at skinnies
Man I do this for them bunnies up at Denny's
From the north, east and west, but when
It comes to them trailers in them South Parks
Muffle it, cuz homie that hood's tighter then Kenny's
So ladies if your belly button's not an innie then I'm outie
Now hop in my minivan, let's get rowdy
C'mon

*Chorus*
Now you can do this on your own
But everyone knows that no one likes to be alone
So get on the floor and grab somebody!
Ain't nothin' but a White Trash Party!
So let's have us a little bash
And if anyone asks
If there ain't no one but us trash
You dunno, you better akse somebody
Cuz we're havin' a White Trash Party!

*3rd Verse*
Now whether you're black, white or purple
If you're misunderstood
But you don't give a *$%@
You weren't doin' *%$@ that you should
Long as you know you're up to evil
And you're no damn good
Get on the floor, man, and rep your 'hood
Now honey, don't let them pricks trip
We should make a quick dip
And go do some donuts in the hospital parkin' lot
Cuz girl I got a sick wip
Kick the back window outta my grill and
Put two milk crates in the trunk
Rip out the stick shift and
Make a five seater
I'll be damned if I feed a chick
It ain't like me to split a piece 'a dry pita
I'll be the S-L to the I-M to the S-H-A-D-Y
And I don't need a tank top to be a wife beater
I'll rip a tree out the ground
And flip it upside down
'Fore I turn over a new leaf, clown
I'll tell ya now
I'm so raw I still need to un-thaw
You feel me, yall?
I shut the club down like Drake in the mall
But baby, a body like that's against the law
You the baddest little chain with the blades I ever saw
Goats, small containers, empty straw wrappers and all
You got more junk in your trunk than I do in my car
Now get up!

and now i ask, what in the hell are you talking about?

 

[ballinsam23]

Give the album an 8/10 (which i think is pretty high i gave TML a 6/10). These songs stay on repeat

Almost Famous
Love the Way You Lie
No Love
Talkin 2 Myself
25 to Life
So Bad
Going Through Changes

[moneyisthemotive]

Cold-hearted from the day I Bogarted the game
I so started to rock fellow
When I'm not even in my harshest
You can still get roasted because Marsh is not mellow

It's from a "Young G's" perspective, can't take him seriously.
His rating for this album was laughable, too, BUT

this song was some #!%+.

Its not only about lyrics. It needs to please the ear musically.
Ex. Nas is 

 when it comes to lyrics, but many of his songs are straight up boring.

Soulja Boy lyrics are garbage but i do admit, he can have a catchy song thats fun to rap to.

There needs to be a balance. Em has that on Recovery, just not on W.T.P. imo.

Just went through it a second time and each song gets better the more I listen. Although WTP is kinda weird

he sold 600k+ of relapse that had ZERO airplay. "not afraid" went straight to #1 based off of d/l alone from itunes. so no, he'll outsell drake. he just won't sell over a 900k or a mil like he used to in the first week.

250k? c'mon son.

the media seems to love this album. i really think if em wants to have radios play his songs again, he needs to release the rihanna song. that song screams major airplay

people actually in the "music biz" and other rappers are baffled by this album ... i haven't seen a bad review from a reputable source yet ... i agree on the Rihanna song, he should drop that within the next week and let it marinate until released date ... Drake's single is hot garbage and that song can take over the air waves ...
