Jul 1, 2024 Recovery was a huge deal for sure, it still is to me. But I'm looking at Houdini more of longevity. Theres a huge difference between a huge single, and a cult single. In other words, not afraid is like the titanic, and Houdini is like fight club. SSLP,MMLP,TES, all fight club level classics. So for me Houdini is way bigger
Jul 1, 2024 Track is definitely dropping tomorrow afternoon and not tonight at midnight.. I hope I’m wrong
Jul 1, 2024 I think it's just the subject matter that made the song big, people were just happy he got clean.
Jul 1, 2024 and most casual and non relapse fans unlike us, were happy that he was back to rapping without accents, so he could've rapped about anything and it would've blown up, especially like you said with that subject matter
Jul 1, 2024 I agree with this statement. The underdog, that overcame the odds, is what propelled recovery to the charts. The worst possible devil worshipper/drug addict turning into a believer of Christ, and it was executed perfectly
Jul 1, 2024 I agree Houdini for me is the closest we got to classic Eminem so far, the problem with Recovery is Eminem spits bars like The new me is back to the old me, but at the same time we have poppyshit like LTWYL. To be honest I would love to get a REUP version of Eminem, Songs like No Apologies are hidden gems for non Stans
Jul 1, 2024 We're not talking about charting and sales, we say Houdini is the best since Without Me because it finally sounds like the Eminem we grew up with!
