May 27, 2026 at 5:45 AM You can tell multiple musicians worked on the album but the whole thing was pretty much made on the Korg Triton keyboard. It just shows you that you don't need million dollar studios and expensive instruments to make good music.
May 27, 2026 at 6:27 AM You can’t really just say the whole thing was made on the Triton lol. Yeah there were Triton sounds sprinkled throughout the production, but Jeff Bass’ Fender appears on a lot of the tracks (SFTM, Superman, COMC), plus there’s also live bass from Jeff and Mike Elizondo. They certainly weren’t done in cheap instruments. DJ heads drums also definitely didn’t come from the Triton. We know Ems vocals were all recorded on the Sony C800g too, which is like a $10,000 plus microphone. Not to mention the analogue gear on his vocal chain which would also be thousands. I agree that you don’t need lots of money to come up with good creative ideas and melodies, but you absolutely do need thousands and thousands of dollars to make that music sound professional during the tracking, mixing and mastering process. I’m sure Brian Gardeners mastering suite would also have been worth thousands at the time too. Resto also used more than just the Triton, so his keyboard setup wouldn’t have been cheap either.
May 27, 2026 at 6:29 AM It’s such a shame that Steve King died at such a young age. I would have loved to see him appear on something like Mix With The Masters, seeing him pull up one of Ems old Pro Tools sessions from the TES era, going through his own mix and how he did things. I guess the closest we could get is Mike Strange doing that since he was Steve’s assistant at that time.
May 27, 2026 at 6:31 AM Its nice to see you contribute and engage like a normal person instead of a r-----ed buffoon like usual
May 27, 2026 at 6:39 AM You’ve woken up on the wrong side of bed today haven’t you Clint? Following me round the forum quoting me for no reason, scouring through old posts of mine. What’s going on in your life?
May 27, 2026 at 9:28 AM Ow Roo, oooh but by 99’ I had already blew Now imma do something I don’t really do Tell the truth, my name is was more important dude Who had the spice girls tying thier tubes Made the youth more r-----ed too Made Slim Shady a household name too And had radio stations playing Snoop Crossovers before you lose your first thooth Gen Z wasn’t even in the dictionary in 2002
May 27, 2026 at 9:30 AM Stan’s never give respect to my name is. It’s was actually a massive hit and put me on the map before the real slim shady did. Midgets forget this went triple platinum before the 21st century hit. We wouldn’t even have MMLP if the controversy from this song didn’t affect middle America.
May 27, 2026 at 10:03 AM Til I Collapse was one of the tracks that was made towards the end of making TES, right?
May 27, 2026 at 10:08 AM Yes. It’s kinda funny how most of the biggest songs are usually recorded last. Real slim shady, Rap God, even without me. They weren’t initially meant to be the first singles or even on the album. Remember Godzilla wasn’t gonna be pushed as much
May 27, 2026 at 10:16 AM Because he’s starred in multiple hit movies like The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, Dirty Harry, Gran Torino and Unforgiven.
May 27, 2026 at 10:19 AM I’ve always assumed so yes. Mostly due to the fact his voice is a little deeper than the rest of the album and sounds a little hoarse and stretched out at times, similar to White America. Another thing I noticed about TIC is that I believe it’s the only song on the album where Eminem didn’t back up his vocals with extra takes. Every verse is just one singular vocal take. I can see why though because the delivery he got for those verses is great. I wondered if it was a conscious decision like “yeah this one doesn’t need backing vocals” or whether they just never got round to it lol.
May 27, 2026 at 10:58 AM Acute or obtuse? Like a swan hanging off the noose You want triangle bars?! Well try to handle these arms (*s---t*) Now I got a lawn full of dead goose Or is it geese?! Whatever, Geeks I’m coming for everybody that blinks You too BlackPink Stan’s, I’m in Your Area man
May 27, 2026 at 12:43 PM Didn't he say that he had a bad heart condition a while back? said it was functioning at 25 percent or something.
