    But I like how he tried to evolve his lyricism even after going pop, and people usually dumb down their bars when they go pop. But he was still trying his best to construct punchlines and word plays.
    And finally he has perfected it with Kamikaze even though it wasn't bad at all at Shady XV and MMLP2.

    Listening to Em's corny punchlines from the Recovery era while high is pretty entertaining.

    Disorderly Progress What's cookin?

    Crazy in Love is straight fire.

    Back when he'd make a love track without it being pure cheese or out of the aesthetic. It still felt authentic.

    "You are the ink to my paper what my pen is to my pad - the morale, the very fibre, the whole substance to my rap" >>>>> and that flow >>>

    Also Puke is infectious. Not going to argue it's great music or anything but it's catchy as all f---.

    And the ''truth syrum' bit on Big Weenie is genius.

    That's all.

    Still one of his worst albums but still a lot better than Revival, agreed.

    I agree it's one of his worst albums, but I think Revival is worse. He needs to continue to stay away from Rick Ruben. The whole rock-rap thing is so corny, especially in this day and age.

    My bad.
    It's mediocre.
    I like that song sometimes.
    I'm also a huge fan of that beat.

    Encore hate is way to high on this forum...I'm almost afraid to say it, because I'm gonna get stoned to death for this, but for me Encore is a classic and comes right after MMLP and Eminem Show...maybe on par with SSLP. The music, beats, hooks, flows are just insane and on a whole other level. I don't even give a f--- about those "corny/goofy" songs...I actually thought they were quite funny back in the day and besides maybe My first single and Big Weenie I still enjoy all of them. And who cares if he's just having some fun and bullshitting on some songs, when the actual music bangs and it's sonically pleasing. I'll take every Encore song over Pop-Eminem any day.

    In my opinion Relapse is one of his best albums, maybe top 4 Em albums. Releapse refill is actually 10/10 as well. I hate how the fans reacted. Now we will never get that Relapse 2 which 50 said had the better songs on in his opinion.

    Encore has some insanely good tracks on it though. Never Enough, Like Toy Soldiers, Encore, Mockingbird. It's way better than MMLP2.

    Revival is great. It took me a while to appreciate it, but now I enjoy most of the songs on it. Not to mention, chloraseptic is eminems second best song ever

    I still can't believe they thought Untouchable was a good song let alone single. I will not get that until i die. It's the most sonically trash song I've ever hear from Eminem i don't care about the message. Especially from someone like Eminem. How did he seriously think that this song is sounding good??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Totally agree with what Joe said about it. The second part is way better but that doesn't f---ing matter coz the first part is so wack it's insane.
