I have been going back and listening to this one again. Listening to it front-to-back, the accent allows him to twist words to rhyme things you never though possible, and Dre's production is some of his best work.
It's rare for a hip-hop artist to do a concept album, but Eminem did it masterfully. I remember when this came out in '09, I was kind of disgusted by the lyrics (outside of "Beautiful"). Now that I'm 10 years older, I understand that Eminem was just going for complete shock value and literally did not give 0 fucks, and I can appreciate how awesome it is. Even if you hate the accent/subject matter, you should at least appreciate "Deja Vu," which may be his best song ever.
Honestly, he may need to do a project like this to breathe some life back into his career. I personally respect the direction he wanted to take on Revival, and I enjoyed it enough- but I'm a former Stan. Eminem could release an album of him snoring and I'd still say it's ok. For everyone else, he just sounds old and tired and politically correct.
What'd you guys think of Relapse? Tagging the usual hip-hop suspects.
