^^ Yeah I saw the video the other day, and It was like damn... Rest In Peace DeShaun Holton, aka Big Proof!

It would be biased opinions if I was just an Eminem fan. I am a HIP HOP FAN. I LISTEN to the music, to the lyrics, and pay attention. With you not knowing how I listen to music, you are obviously misled.

Yes Encore doesn't compare to his previous 3 albums. But like he said, He can never impress you anymore, because you're used to him being so great, he can't improve... But you still haven't broke down to me, why its a "huge let down"

Infinite is a hot CD from Em I still listen to that.

**Shady** · 08-03-2006, 06:09 AM

^ Yes I agree... Although I would expect to hear more "HUNGER" from him in those early EP's... I hear his hunger mostly in Marshall Mathers LP... Actualy listening to him on Obies new album, the man sounds hungry again.

Mockingbird & Like Toy Soldiers are the only songs on that album that will be remembered when Eminem is done. He could have done more.

Everything else was mediocre, however, I thought Mosh was a good song.

WOW Did anyone read it? Pay attention and look up the history of Encore THE ALBUM WAS POP AND DISCUSTING FOR A REASON.EMINEM WAS SHOWING THAT HE DOESN'T CARE,HE BELIEVS HE IS SO GOOD THAT HE CAN THROW AWAY GOOD SONGS AND STILL BE NICE.

I dont agree with this at all he shouldn't of messed around but what are you going to do.Em is a hip hop legend all of his albums were amazing besides Encore the one he messed up on purpose,And that even had some amazing tracks on it.

Yeah of course, he messed up on purpose, why didn't I think of that?

Great Encore post Shady..

-No. If you think I'm going to dig a rapper cos of a song involving Lil Wayne and Fabolous, you're wrong. Urgh. Might give some of his stuff a listen though, must be a reason everyone loves Cass

-There's a thing about rap-rock, (ie, it's completely shite) that makes any rappers in the genre instantly lose credibility. So everyone doubted Shinoda, but a) he actually loves hip hop and b) he actually has skills. So, er, there ya go.

- I can't remember who analysed Big Weenie, sue me...Nice post, not sure I really agree...I like Em's style on those songs, though. People who diss him for them are usually the ones listening to other rappers talk bullshit.

- Why the fuck does everyone hate on Encore? There's like 3, 4 bad songs and suddenly it becomes the massive thing to hate on it. Some of the shit on there's the best of his career. 50 actually does something on Never Enough. Yellow Brick Road is incredible. Like Toy Soldiers too. I could go on, and no, Encore isn't the best one on there. What's it saying?

I wasn't saying i didn't respect the guy or know where he was going with his newer shit i just liked his older shit

TheFreakGuy · 08-03-2006, 01:11 PM

Why? Any reason?

(Not saying I disagree just wondering)

Infinite was crazy. I love that album, tight flow and great lyrics in most of it. The comparisons to Nas off that album were kinda lazy- I reckon he was a better artist then, off the back of Infinite and Illmatic (wait for the hate...but listen to em both

) Now they're different artists, and if you judge God's Son and The Eminem Show, say, ya can see how the great (Get Down, Made You Look/Business, Sing For The Moment) outdoes the wack (Zone Out/Soldier?)

So, wait. You're saying he made the album suck on purpose, but we should listen to it anyway?
