And at times, the Shady persona seems too tied to the past. A couple of filler songs could’ve been trimmed out. What’s the problem? Relapse is a little too long. Production was never the primary appeal of Eminem albums anyway. Not to mention they’re all hard as hell! Dre’s hard beats really bang and they fit the overall mood of this album perfectly. His 10-year old beats still fit well with Eminem’s rapping and his lyrics. I guess you can complain that Dre’s production is outdated and/or played out, but I don’t really care about all of that in this case. It’s a cohesive sound of the same familiar sound that Dr. His rapping was so good that I barely even noticed all the stupid voices he raps in.Īll of Relapse (except for “Beautiful”) is produced by Mr. Even though he was experimenting, he didn’t let his experimentation sabotage his performance oh quite the contrary. One thing that hasn’t changed is that Eminem is still an excellent rapper. He’s using a lot of wordplay here and sometimes speeding up or slowing down his cadence. Technically, Eminem experiments with this flow a little bit. Interestingly, the rapper persona seems to occasionally pop up simultaneously with any of his other personas. His personas include the popular Sacha Baron Cohen character Borat, a teenage boy who learned his first dirty words, several men from undetermined foreign countries, and a rapper named Eminem. Shady also severely suffers from multiple personality disorder. This is most likely an attribute to Shady’s insanity. Unfortunately, once the couple got on the outside, Mariah became more distant while Shady became more obsessive. They even helped each other escape the psycho ward (Shady and Glitter is a deadly combination). You see, during his time in the psycho ward he met and fell in love with a fellow patient by the name of Mariah. That would drive any person crazy, right? And it certainly doesn’t help that Shady’s love life is less than stellar. Shady’s mother got him addicted to pills at a very early age and his father used to fuck him in the ass on a regular basis.
How does a sweet little boy become such a psychopathic monster? You have to go back to his childhood. Even guys on the hip-hop board who didn’t give a shit about Em and just waited with due dilligence for the inevitable leak of the album. Even though the release of his first singles received lukewarm response from most (not me, but most), the anticipation of the album was insanity. When Eminem himself announced his official comeback after months of speculation and flase rumors from within his camp (King Mathers.give me a fucking break), people started crying tears of joy at the mere thought of the Great White Hope once again returning to the mic. Shady’s killing people (particularly family members), raping women (particularly celebrity girls), sucking up pills like a vacuum, making me cringe with his brand of blue comedy, and all the other sick shit that this bastard used to do. Outside of “Beautiful”, Relapse is a return to the twisted mayhem of Slim Shady that corrupted my fragile preteen mind whenever I watched his videos on MTV back in the early 2000s. Hyde has finally reared his ugly head yet again. If anybody remembers that song “When I’m Gone”, America’s favorite Caucasian rapper was distancing himself from that maniacal alter ego of his that got him in so much hot water in the earlier part of this decade. I remember the time Eminem re appeared out of nowhere after the last song he made was “When I’m Gone”, I’ve never thought he would return but I’m just wondering does he still got it because I had low expectations for relapse after Encore.
