first post, i had to since this was the first page i clicked on for a forum about this album, plus that guy talking s#it, eminem is almost forty, he's not going back to the old em, he's not the same person, dude c'mon people are talkin stupid stuff for trying to compare it to his old stuff.. okay i'm 21 now, i was 9-10 when his first big album came (not infinite) out the first time i heard him..but am i ever going to have the same mentality as i did back then? .no.eminem is killing everybody right now, he did what like 4 songs with people on the top of their shit and kills all of them, he talks shit about everyone and gets away with it, because they know if they say shit hes going to rip them a new one.. even on relapse 2 he was talking shit.. people hate on em, because he gets emotional (eminem is the only big person who speaks from the heart right now) or because he was on drugs during most of his shit "relapse was the first time i'd been sober in the studio in 8 years".. but why don't you listen to the words? there are some questionable beats... but no one can kill them like em.. no one.. and most of the beats arent even his so called "style" from the old eminem stand point.. but no one can touch him right now in hiphop/rap, you wanna talk all that teddybear kisses crap okay fine, but in this cd strictly either from the heart songs, songs about how he's killing everyone and he's not getting touched in the rap game, and of course his crazy stuff, no one can touch him.. you guys can say what you want cause i probably wont look at this again.. he says what he wants, kills everone when he does it and idmits whens his past albums sucks.. just because you like slow ass shit about gucci bags and gettin bitches (that you don't get) and cant comprehend his metaphores of lyrics doesn't mean you cant read along with the songs like ur watching barney bitch, the video is number 2 for a reason dude. the king is back, and you better get used to it.. unless he gets hooked on methadone again... then ill eat my words
