Oh bollocks, do i listen or do I wait a few more weeks? Either way i'm buying it when it's out without a doubt. . (lol rhyme) Same happened with Relapse. We finally get a Proof tribute? Thank god.. R.I.P

 

Eh, someone throw 1 song name at me off the album worth listening too, just to keep my mind at ease!

I like 25 to life, Spacebound, Going through Changes, Talkin 2 Myself, You're Never Over, damn, all of them are great! I'm buying this album in a heartbeat.

[Vanillainy]

I've only heard the Wayne track so far but that's f*cking sick. Love the Baby Dont Hurt Me sample.

 

Edit: f*ck that, whole album is dope.

@kippers: I forgot to post this. You know you was saying that the volume changing in the Won't Back Down track was genius? Well...ahem [0:34-0:41]:

 

 

 

Eminem did it better though.

[Scifen]

Eminem

 

without a doubt one of the best rappers to ever do it.

Put Space Bound aside that's a good one.

Recovery is miles f*cking better than Relapse and Encore - god damn those albums were terrible. This album is pretty great it's nice to see Eminem on the ball as he hasn't been since TES.

I honestly expected you to kick it to the ground after your opinions on those 2 albums. Relief to hear everyone saying it's dope.

 

I ended up listening to 'Going Through Changes' I don't know about better than 'Beautiful', but it's definitely a brilliant track.

 

 

 

His best effort since 2002 then?

 

 

 

@gamesguru: Yeah, Eminem's use of it was much more effective. Thanks for the new Av btw

@gamesguru: Ah well, maybe not so genius then lol. Thanks for the new Av btw

You asked him for a Not Afraid avatar too? Small world.

 

But yeah, I'm probably going to listen to Recovery all day. But still can't wait to get it on the 22nd.

Honestly I went in expecting something garbage like Relapse. Relapse had 2-3 decent tracks then the rest were god damn horrible, Encore was pretty much the same. I do think this is his first real attempt at putting out something decent since TES, the beats are abit sketchy compared to what i'm used to and i'm not to keen on Lil Wayne being on it but that's just a feature, Pink and Rihanna did pretty good jobs.

 

It's a new direction for Eminem, i'm glad he's finally found a proper way to go instead of goofing around trying to be over the top funny, it's never good when people try too hard. It's also brilliant to hear that he also thinks lowly of his previous two albums.

 

 

"This time around is different, them last two albums didn't count.../ Encore I was on drugs; Relapse I was flushing them out.../ I've come to make it up to you now no more f*cking around.../ I've got something to prove to fans because I feel like I let them down.../ So please accept my apology, I finally feel like I'm back to normal..."

 

Good stuff!

[The Guru]

I probably won't get it until the 22nd. I might give 1 song a listen to see how it is. Good to hear it's getting good ratings

 

Oh, been awhile since I last posted here.

[OH NO]

I find it difficult to listen to eminem..sounds like hip hop for 13 year olds..and em sounds like an angry 5 year old at times..and I have a problem with his stans...I could go on

 

but Ive never doubted he had talent, skimmed through the album to see what I could deal with, when he goes in he goes in. That Haddaway sh*t is great, nice verse from wayne as well. Couple of other great tracks...that Almost Famous is one of them. The rest is too hip pop to me. hate that term.

Back cover revealed:

 

 

Seems like the second cover for Recovery is the main one (the one where Em is contained in the glass cube thing), as he is in it on the back cover. I like the second one because it's innovative. But I prefer the one of him walking up the road, as it's more traditionalist.

 

There's a 17th track, that according to Wikipedia is called "Here We Go". It's noted as a hidden track. But the way people explained it as a separate track, makes me believe it would be a European exclusive, which is nothing new.

Yeah, I prefer the one where he's walking away too.

 

so have you decided to listen to it yet?

[gamesguru]

No.

Not just because I want to wait. But if I condoled albums being leaked, I'm sort of an idiot. Seeing as I want to be a rap artist myself, do you think I would like if I had stuff of mine leak? Obviously not. So why should [my attitude alter towards] another artist be any different? It just doesn't make sense, and is also completely out of my nature.

 

Today I just ordered:

 

•The Roots - How I Got Over

•Eminem - Recovery

•Drake - Thank Me Later

•B.o.B - The Great Adventures of Bobby Ray

•Royce Da 5'9'' - The Bar Exam 3 [Autographed + No DJ]

 

I couldn't find anywhere to order Big Boi's album for the UK. Maybe it's too early. I also want to get Wu-Massacre & Revolutions Per Minute, but I'm trying to conserve money. Back on leaking though. I don't mind if the odd track leaks (depending on the circumstance). Because they help you decide your position on an album/artist, like a musical taster. It also creates a buzz. I don't think many buy singles any more, just listen to or download them. I think artists care mostly about the album and how it does, and less so the singles.

[EduardKoeleJuck]

Where did you buy Bar Exam 3? I wanna buy it too.

 

BTW Here's some Dutch rap. One's by Önder aka Murda Turk, the other one's by Hef. He's definately the hottest rapper in The Netherlands right now, check it out.

 

Önder (alias Murda Turk) & FS Green - Terug op me Bullsh*t (that means "Back on my BS")

 

 

Hef f/ Major - Gone

 

[Jur1zz]

Eminem - 25 to life

 

2:12-3:25

Did Eminem will leave Hip-Hop?

Some random tunes:

 

 

[OH NO]

anyone seen this

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

s'out friday..looks interesting

 

 

[EduardKoeleJuck]

Fashawn's pretty cool. I haven't headr much from him though.

 

Y'all seen this? It's from 2007 but it's weird.

 

 

[gamesguru]

I heard the Life's A B*tch joint when it leaked a while a back, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I presume this is a free mixtape? Fashawn is very talented, so can't wait to see the final outcome.

 

In other news, Paul Rosenberg finally released the final piece of video footage of Porter, Royce & Em's freestyle today. Here is the whole collection:

Ive heard half of Boy Meets World and it was good..i need to give it a good listen. Exile on production...I still listen to Below the Heavens regularly, one of the best albums ive ever heard, although a large part of that is obviously down to Blu.

yeah think so..apparently Elzhi was gonna do his own tribute as well, Elmatic. Elzhi would have nailed it. Dont think its gonna happen though.

 

anyone think eminem was throwing shots at Jay Z on Seduction, he even does the Jay Z "Auh!".... man i was laughing like f*ck

 

"There’s a seven disc CD changer in her car

And I’m in every single slot, and you’re not, AUH!"

 

I dunno, maybe im reaching, but id recognise that Auh anywhere

 

 

[bigmike72]

Won't Back Down has grown on my the past few days but I can't stop listening to Space Bound.

[EduardKoeleJuck]

I made uploaded & made a playlist on YouTube of Fashawn's tape, if you haven't downloaded it yet, listen to it here. It's really dope.

 

Also, anybody here knows Mysonne? He's an awesome rapper, heard he's been around for a long time but he went to jail. Anyway, here's his new mixtape with DJ Scream, The Definition Of A G.

 

And last but not least, Drake's new tape called Made In October.

[EduardKoeleJuck]

Sorry for the double post, but T.I.'s album cover for King Uncaged is here:

 

 

J. Cole (one of XXL's Freshmen of '10) dropped a new mixtape called Roc Nation.

T.I. kills me with his King obsession. That cover is laughable. The lion isn't artsy at all, and it's a bad metaphor for uncaged. I'm starting to think Tip has some insecurity issues, or maybe a napoleon complex. Anyway, that J. Cole mixtape is hot.

Why? I think the cover looks stylish.
