Relapse- Eminem
If being twisted and crazy was anyone's job,it would be Eminem's. This album is not for the faint of heart. It contains very offensive language and the subject matter/rhymes are beyond inappropriate. Singing most of the lyrics in school might get you in alot of trouble, so I cannot write them here. And yet, it is a fantastic album. From the melodic (yet insanely twisted) "Stay Wide Awake" to the absolutely maniacle (yet fantastic) "Insane", the album reaches out past the taboo, as Eminem has done on many occasions. All of the songs are expertly crafted in terms of rhyming and flow as Eminem has a reputation for being crazy and can thus rhyme with any line he wants to. Eminem takes shots at multiple people in the album, again as he always, including Christopher Reeves, Kim Kardashian, Linsday Lohan, Jessica Simpson, John Mayer, his own mom, his stepfather, his ex-wife. And yet even through the various songs in which Eminem brutally murders several people (like "3 am" and "Stay Wide Awake") and the other songs where Eminem talks about his previous drug addiction (like "Must be the Ganja" and "Deja Vu") comes a song which can actually be played on the radio; "Beautiful". Even through the great and masterfully crafted twisted darkness of the other songs, Eminem is also able to create an equally well crafted song with a true message, in which he says "Don't let anyone tell you you aint beautiful". It is really a great album, and it contains NO WITCHCRAFT. So you won't be burned at the stake for listening to it... you witch. It is an album which touches back on the things that made Eminem famous; back to the songs like "Kill You", "Kim", and "Just Lose It" with there crazy murder themes and just outright funny insults on celeberties. It shows the true fans what Eminem still is despite his newer, more mainstream, songs like "Lighters" and the slightly annoyingly non-Eminem-like song "Not Afraid". Thats $3 dollars and a 100 year warranty. It holds 20,000 times its weight in liquid. Look if you don't buy this he will kill you, or I will break your collarbones with a wrench. KONY 2012
Since i have no choice but buying it, i must look it up on youtube. It seems like they are very interesting songs, so, i will look into this album. Once again, mentioning witchcraft for no apparent reason. But, you have made a con vincing arguement and i will look up some of the songs that you listed. I am a fan of Eminem, and i have been for a while now, so it won't be that dramatic of a difference when it comes to his music style.

ReplyDeleteAlek, I agree with what you mentioned in this blog post. I, too, like Eminmen and I really admire his style of rapping. It seems like all of his lyrics come from his heart and he actually cares about what he is saying unlike some of all the other rap music out there. Eminem has been creating great music for a really long time and he has a geat sense of creativity. I do not think he should be criticized because the music that he creates is a lot better than most of the other music out there.
ReplyDeleteAlek, I agree with you when you said that all of the songs are expertly crafted in terms of rhyming and flow as Eminem has a reputation for being crazy and can thus rhyme with any line he wants to. I think Eminem has risen from the dirt to create a masterpiece. I think that he truly is one of the most magnificent music artists around. Maybe sometime we can compare our two artists to see what they share in common. My artist is Kanye West and yours is Eminem, both revolutionary artists of their time, and I would love to see what they share with each other.
