Eminem – Relapse Songs Leaked – Should I Care?
Eminem’s Marshall Mathers LP was the first album I ever bought. Eminem was likely the first artist I idolized. I was a huge fan for awhile. He’s released 3 really good albums in the Slim Shady LP, the aforementioned MM LP and a very strong Eminem Show. However, let me say it: Encore sucked. At least in comparison he still has his unique style but some songs (“Ass Like That”) lacked the angry foul mouthed rapper that made me his fan.
Discussions with friends, suggested that Eminem made it clear that he was rapping with the knowledge that he knows people are going to buy the record anyway and therefore have given him a pass (rap is probably the only thing I talk to them about regarding music). Maybe I’m a purist but rap doesn’t need anymore rappers just doing it for the money and not producing something creative. He definitely had SOME moments on Encore but it definitely was lacking in some areas – which never occurred before on any of Eminem’s previous records.
Anyway, out came “We Made You” and this songs blooooooows. Check it out. It’s not funny, doesn’t have a beat like Ass Like That and it puts me to sleep. However when I look at it, “We Made You” feels like that forced mainstream single that is separate from his gold material on every album. Looking at My Names Is, The Real Slim Shady, Without Me and Ass Like That – all weaker songs on his albums, because let’s be real – Eminem’s true greatness comes with the tracks that probably aren’t really meant for the virgin ears of the radio and tv screens. (or the quality is too good for radio, for all I know they just choose crappier stuff to play)
There are a few songs out now, Bagpipes from Baghdad, My Mom and Insane. All I know, Bagpipes from Baghdad is awful and I’m willing to stop there until I have a chance to listen to the album…which I’m not excited to, based on two songs.
I really hope Eminem hasn’t lost it but honestly it looks like he has and while the blogosphere has an orgy over these tracks, I’d rather just go back and listen to the time when he has good. Not sure I’ll listen to Relapse unless I’m assured that it’s good or else… I can’t stand such a good rapper making shitty music.
