Has rock + rap ever, ever been a good idea?

 

[MuddyDonut]

This is terrible, he's still using that annoying screaming flow


Skylar Grey (if that's her) on the hook doesn't work she keeps getting used, corny

.

 

[Xanadu]

my god how far he has fallen

AWFUL album

 

[Raptor]

I don't like the girl parts "This is Survival of the fittest" or something, and I always liked when girls sung on Ems songs, like Dido, Rhianna and stuff.

Other than that it sounds alright.

[Combichristoffersen]

Sorry Em, but this is just as dull and uninteresting as the rest of your post-TES output.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

As expected, so much better without the COD effects layered on top.

 

[m23]

He needs to stop screaming. I love Eminem but it's getting pretty annoying now.

 

[Erv]

Third verse is ill

 

[Junior Mint]

a tired ass rapper screaming over tired ass gameplay.

screaming over boring production is better than COD gameplay, but that's not saying much.

This.

Garbage song for a garbage game.

 

[BrokenEchelon]

I love Em, but how many fucking times is he going to let us now that he's back to make everyone else look like shit?

It's getting old.

 

[Miggytronz]

DAT 3RD VERSE.

 

[TedNindo]

Seeing him tomorrow at Pukkelpop. Hope he's still good. Missed an opportunity to see him during the up in smoke tour for free. Couldn't go back then because I had my exams and my parents wouldn't let me. Ended up failing the exam and I wished I went. Who needs French anyway.

 

[FStop7]

Cobranded with Call of Duty: Ghosts.

Em, what happened to you man

eh, I don't like new Eminem. It's like he's always shouting.

HE ALSO USES THE SAME _CADENCE_ ALL THE TIME
AND EMPHASIZES THE _NOUNS_ IN THE LINES
IN _ALL_ OF HIS RHYMES

Then Dido or some other flavor of the week pop vocalist sings a hook

 

[Byronic Hero]

Seriously? That "album" was terribad. Possibly the worst example of Rap/Rock.

 

[haZethew0rld]

Beastie Boys.

 

[Stat Flow]

He needs to stop screaming. I love Eminem but it's getting pretty annoying now.

Seriously. When are we gonna get some MMLP Em? This angry flow on 100% of his songs is annoying. Oh well.

 

[flamingotripod]

Still shits on any Jay-Z song on MCHG

 

[Sent]

Cool. Been waiting for some new Em. Probably one of the last hip hop albums I'll ever buy. Aside from maybe Hopsin & B.O.B.'s.

Uhh RIP?

 

[(._.)]

I'm seeing eminem live in 6 days, Shit is going to be the highlight of my life.

this is a joke post I'm 100% sure. wont fall for this

Yeah I'm old and I used to listen to this back when it came out in 2000.

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

A cleaner version of Eminem's Survival of the Fittest

Has rock + rap ever, ever been a good idea?

I'll go with: Aerosmith + Run DMC - Walk This Way

Bonus genre blurring music: Metallica + San Francisco Symphony Orchestra - Nothing Else Matters

Beastie Boys.

Solid answer.

 

[Phire Phox]

this is alright. Not amazing, but pretty good.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

I liked Recovery and his album with Royce. Big step ups from Relapse

Looking forward to this. Hopefully we can get a song not made for the CoD game...

 

[Mik2121]

Not the biggest fan of screaming Eminem, but the song isn't bad either.

I'd rather have him going back to the more calmed down way of singing, kinda like this:

Eminem - Love Me ft. Obie Trice, 50 Cent

Eminem - I'm back (even with a slight accent? but no screaming at least)

And many others...

I am hoping the overall album tone is closer to Recovery.

 

[runlikehell]

you preferred Relapse to Recovery?? I've never heard anyone say that. Relapse was terrible.

Relapse was better because it was 95% Dr. Dre production. The production on most of Recovery was terribad.

 

[8byte]

I'll give you that. I'd put Skyzoo, Lupe, and Royce (when he's not screwing around) over him as lyricists (Skyzoo musically, A Dream Deferred>>>>>>anything Eminem's ever done).



You people who act all high and mighty over Juniors really perplex me. It's just an internet forum, get a life.

You saying "you people" or calling people "stans" and saying "get a life" are what led him to say you won't last long. Had nothing to do with your Junior status.

I enjoy the song, and enjoy Eminem's music. To each their own.

 

[reKon]

I haven't listened to the song yet, but all I have to say is Em needs to get on his Bad Meets Evil shit. That album and the shady cyhper freestyle showed how he's still one of the GOAT. His flow on the Bad Meets Evil album was how he should be rapping

 

[HammerOfThor]

Seriously? That "album" was terribad. Possibly the worst example of Rap/Rock.

I find that Lil' Wayne is the worst example of everything except bubblegum rap. Even thats being generous. But I think I'm in the minority with that opinion.

 

[TOP SHOTTA]

I like the beat, a LOT.
I don't like Eminem, AT ALL.

The intro with "this THIS is IS!!!" veryy cool.

 

[TedNindo]

He opened with it tonight at pukkelpop Belgium. I had doubts about his performance and wasn't expecting much. Turned out to be great and he had the whole crowd of about 80 000 with him.
It was basicly a best of and he had Royce with him.

 

[hirokazu]

All his new songs sound like he's shouting at the mic. :/

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

The song sucks, and I hope his new album is more like Recovery.

I was there too (still am) and thought it sucked. The recorded tape and his guests did most of the work. Crowd was very awesome and forgiving imo...

 

[nib95]

What happened to Eminems flow? Really is a downgrade from the past.

 

[Toa TAK]

All his new songs sound like he's shouting at the mic. :/

Seriously.

As for this song, I'm not feeling it at all. It sucks for me.

 

[Samk]

Good, but I hated the electronic guitar riff in the mix. It made it sound way less clear.

 

[Soodanim]

Don't like the beat, don't like his style, don't like the chorus. They're all terrible.

I bought to Relapse for the bonus tracks (still didn't get My Darling and Be Careful What You Wish For though, and they are by far the best tracks) and to have it in the collection, bought Recovery for collection proposes and have listened probably once. Only track I remember liking was about proof.

Bad Meets Evil was good, but this is awful. I'm not buying this shit.
