Eminem - Encore, biggest dissapointment of the year

[M!nd_Ctrl]

The album does not suck (*background voice "Haters!"). The first time I heard it I wasn't feeling it either. After listening to it a few times I have to say it's some classic Em shit. Now if you don't like Em (because he's "pop" now) then you're not gonna like this album. I personal have liked Eminem since before his Slim Shady LP dropped, no not because of "My Name Is" I actually got some promo shit and was telling peeps about this guy. Most people were haters, until I said Dre produced some shit. Anyways, a hater is a hater is a hater and will always say that Em sucks even if they do secretly bump his shit in their car. He has one "pop" song on there, but he throws a couple on every album. EVERYONE in here would do the same for the sales, unless you're truly in it for the love of Hip Hop. He's still staying true to the underground in my eyes because he is not conforming to the usual pop format in his lyrics. He says what he wants to and I respect him as an underground rapper who came up against all odds to become biggest rapper of current time. (Just so y'all don't get it twisted, I know that Pac was the greatest of ALL time!)

All I Gotta Say If Most Of You Are Haters.............gotta Admit Em Does Have Some Wack Tracks On The New Album..........and He Says Some Wack Shit...............but Can U Honestly Tell Me That You Have Ever Heard Someone Flow Like Em Does.........naaaaa, I Dont Think So............i Dunno The Song, But #8 On The Album Is Redic The Way He Flows.........none Of You On This Website Can Do Wut He Does So Stop The Hatin.............................as Far As Porduction, That Is Typical Dre Shit, Same As Its Been....................listen The Encore, That's A Classssssssssiiiiiiiiicccccccccccccc Dre Track.

[Cold Truth]

i have never heard anyone spit uite like em on this new one, you are right...so does that mean i am supposed to like it?

why the fuck is it so hard to accept that everyone doesnt like it, that while you may think its good/great, others think its garbage? because if everyone who doesnt like it is a "hater", then all of you who DO like it are "dickriders, right?

"none Of You On This Website Can Do Wut He Does So Stop The Hatin"....
you basically saying that unless you are selling 10 million records, you have no right to an opinion.

you guys are iigggnnannnt man..... i love the nas album... a lot of people dont.... they arent "haters" because they aint feelin some shit i think is dope...they are just people with their OWN independant opinions.....

 

[djswivel]

i think half is ok and the other half is garbage with a few real hot tracks amidst the madness, but Em is still my 2nd favorite rapper of all time (next to Pac)...u can't deny the mans talent

as i said before the only gems in my eyes are

Mockingbird
Mosh
Like Toy Soldiers
Spend Some Time

Do you people know why this album sucks?? Really, this album deserves 3 MICS/STARS/WHATEVER on 5. But 3/5 for an Eminem album is really BAD. In my opinion, SSLP deserved 4/5, MMLP 4.5 and Eminem Show 5/5. So for an Eminem album, in MY OPINION, that SUCKS, but for what it is , it's a litttle above average

This album sucks because he raps like Triumph the Dog for entire fuckin song

 

[Cold Truth]

BWUWHAHAHA that was great Timmy. Timmmmaaay!

Encore-A Month After

I know this album has already been discussed, but I have been giving it some serious listening time. There was a lot of discussion about the CD growing on you, so I thought I would bring it up again. If this cd is still in rotation in your car, let me know how you feel about it after some solid listening:

Evil Deeds- Really liked it when I first heard it. Kinda got bored
Like Toy Soldiers- Just a question: He keeps talking about someone getting killed, who is he talking about or is just metaphorical.
Big Weenie- First verse is terrible. That high voice is obnoxious. at 1:30 he switches to his normal voice, and its like night and day. I think that moment crystallizes the problem with the album
Mockingbird- Best cut on the album. Only one that could have been on the Eminem Show. I have never heard about Laney before, who is she?
Crazy In love- This one really grew on me. The production isn't very good, especially the chorus which sounds like Em discovered reverb for the first time. The lyrics are amazing. I can't believe the shit he rhymes together. Who the hell is he talking about on this one?

So I guess this album isn't that great if I only felt the need to talk about 4 tracks, but whatever. What has grown on you?

I just read this article about Em trying to take himself out of superstardom, hence Encore. This might just be the answer to the nagging feeling I have about the album. Or it could be a crock of shit from some guy who doesn't know what hes talking about. http://www.villagevoice.com/issues/0448/essay.php
