saab stories is the bronson release that addresses a lot of the complaints that people have toward him flow wise etc but sadly harry didn't come with the fire that time

I've listened to it several times but it does nothing for me

he wasnt as comfortable in the persona he just wasnt as developed but its still one of his best works

Alright, I can see that. He's definitely sitting more comfortably in the "Action Bronson" character these days with the absurd lyrics + videos, but I still love that album. Jazzy/big band production = Yesssssssss

i like bronson features a lot because hes a great contrast or hearing someone else's flow he will sometimes mimic them a little and makes his verses more interesting

most of those publications are meaningless

most PUBLICATIONS are meaningless

music is the most accessible and abundant media available just figure out what you like and listen to it

really though Bronson took the jokes to 11 this time so i think his next project should be super serious/introspective with some dark humor

I dunno, man, I like Bronson mostly comedic with maybe a couple introspective tracks. I mean the dude is always smiling, I think it'd feel contrived if he just got really dark all the sudden.

Count me in the camp of those that now loves all 6 of Bronson's projects. Homie can do no wrong. Wouldn't even know how to rank them, they're all on point.

Rare Chandeliers had amazing production. It's Alchemist, so I guess that's a given, lol.

And that album art has to be like top 10 GOAT album art material.

I still think Dr. Lector is his most well rounded project. It starts strong, it finishes strong, and has a unique sound. Blue Chips 1 has some of my favorite individual Bronson tracks on there. Rare Chandeliers is 3rd if only for Alchemist, but Blue Chips 2 is right there because of those samples and the vibe of the whole tape. Well Done is good but not particularly super strong, and SAAAB Stories was just "okay" from a combo that should've been "omgggg" (except for Heel Toe which is greatness but wasn't even officially on the EP)

That's not far off mine, I don't think Dr. Lecter is many people's favourite, but I think it's impressive throughout and has some of his highest points.

you gotta realize at this point none of these guys give an inkling of a shit about media evaluations of their music.

They're selling plat first week, they already have all their championship rings, etc..

Bronson's extreme positivity is really unusual in hip hop right now, and just for that I'd like to see it continue.

It's refreshing. Although imo some of his best songs are the darker ones, and I'd love to see him experiment more with them. Not a full, dark album but pockets of it.

If you told me this was an excerpt the actual pitchfork review, I'd believe you.

It is true, though. The implications that people might draw from that statement might be a bit absurd, but the fact of the matter is: Eminem has such a comprehensive clutch on the art's mechanics that he can do Yoda impressions and make them work. Not many artists do/can take innovative risks like that. Only at that level do you start to realize how much freedom you really have in doing this shit.

I don't the critics responded well to Relapse or Recovery. Recovery I thought did a bit better reviews wise but I think on metacrtic they both are in the 60s.

And this is just a small sample of reviews. By the time they all add up it will be either in the 60s or low 70s. And lol @ Em or his camp buying reviews. For what? To boost sales?

Don't worry guys Pitchfork will give it a 2 or 3 out of 10.

This Yeller EP is.. well pretty forgettable. WAY too long, should've just been trimmed down to the Rittz verse and Light Switch.

The implication is that his funny impersonation voices are tired and for lack of better words, antiquated, much like his angry style. Nobody is doubting he has a fanbase who will accept anything he puts out. I don't think you have to have a grasp on anything technical in hip-hop to be able to change your delivery, especially in the juxtapository ways Eminem does. I wouldn't call it brave or refreshing either, it reminds me of old Em at the height of his popularity.

As someone that raps, I believe it definitely takes a certain level of comfort with the creation process to be able to vary your performances to that degree. I'm not saying that it isn't tired or that it's refreshing - but it's relatively unique in the genre. Rappers have a template that they focus on when creating (like any artist) and Em deviates from his template more often and better than most deviate from theirs.


Don't see how that's controversial, here, of all places.


Whatever.
