Eminem - Music To Be Murdered By (New LP)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHQC4fAhcbU

^ Interesting song.

Still a talented rapper, but off first listen I'm not feeling a lot of the beats on this record. It's a lot of generic trap beats, and stuff that's trying too hard to be modern or poppy. Dre supposedly helped on production but imo you can't hear that. Royce Da 5'9 has 3 features. There are a handful of tracks I like.

I just listened to I will...I haven't cheesed so hard when I heard a song for the first time that my face started hurting, in a VERY long time. Good lord

According to Wikipedia, Alchemist produced Stepdad. About time he got an album placement.

^ Alchemist was also on the re-up album and did one of the few good tracks on revival.

Yeah, I remember those Alchemist joints. I do not remember Alchemist being on Revival though. You might be mixing him up with Scram Jones

^ You're right. I think he was miscredited when the album first came out for 'Framed' which is by Fredwreck but I forgot. Dope track anyway.

Never thought id see Black Thought & Eminem spittin on the same track shits dope...

Going to cop the physical for this when it hits Target. He sounds pretty reinvigorated on the handful of tracks I heard

I see online people are pissed that Eminem dropped his album the same day that Mac Miller dropped his. I am certain Eminem did not do it to intentionally cock block his sales and it is not like it would have made a difference either way, if you drop anytime near when Eminem drops, you are going to get blown away. Only Slim Shady LP did not top Billboard 200 because TLC's Fan Mail dropped the same day as him and he was a new artist, otherwise he would have surpassed D.M.X. in chart debuts

same shit different beard

This one is actually pretty Dr. Dre sounding.

This guy just doesn’t do it for me anymore. His voice is all over the place which may be my main beef. Sure there’s a handful of good tracks but I had my Eminem run and it ended 15 years ago. These days I rather listen to Royce or Everlast, which I woulda never predicted back then. Might be my age as well that influences me. Peace

Finally got a physical copy. Just skimming over it now, going to listen to it more intensely in the next few days, but seems okay so far upon the brief listens

I'm guessing that was years ago though.

Shooting off your gun for fun is never good idea. My old roommate decided to do that late at night in a desolate area and cops followed the sounds and caught his ass.

I was just thinking the other day how nobody in hip hop seems to wear du rags any more..
Same thing with sweat bands, those two things were always around in the 2000's

I don't think that undermines the argument for stricter gun laws though. If anything it makes it stronger, that a guy who used to goof around with guns is now saying they should be harder to get hold of.

That was another big thing in the 2000's, especially the Sean John velour ones

Maybe we can turm them into human batteries and sell them to Elon Musk.

Or get rid of the guns. One or the other.

Yeah, more or less.

No redemptive qualities at all about it?

^ Eminem's rapping is technically brilliant. I don't like most of the beats or song concepts though. It feels like a cynical excuse to bump the OG album's sales. There's like a handful of songs that I like.

I did laugh at ”these bars are like covid, you get them right off the bat”.

I can excuse piss poor beat selection if the rhyming is good. I am certain it will hit the physical stores soon. Going to check it out.

enjoyed this. I don't say that often about Em but it is what it is. it's not like I'm trying to hate. this track was good in my book

funny vid too

someone should tell him he looks borderline Amish with that beard though

Would be interesting to see Jay Z grow a beard. I think he probably has crappy genes, so he probably has patches like Keanu Reeves if he tries to grow one, which is why he never does.

That song Zeus is sick - favorite joint on Side B

I was disappointed there were no bangers on here like on the original album (Ie I Will). A few decent tracks imo, but mostly forgettable
