Listening to it now. How do you guys know what's what? The one I found only had Track 1, 2, etc. with no names.

You can find the track list anywhere. Only one I don't know the name of is #17.

Here We Go (Bonus Track).... according to where I got it at least, that is what it showed up as.

This Recovery is hot. I had to chuckle though at Em's humility on "Talkin' 2 Myself". Ain't no way I'm believing Lil' Wayne or Kanye would've beaten him in a battle, and I'm a Wayne/Ye' fan too.

At that point in time, he probably would have been eaten. He didn't have a clear mind then, he was all spaced out. Now? Forget it, there isn't a single person who can touch him.

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

Finally finished the album...classic is all I gotta say. The Proof tribute song You're Never Over damn near brought a tear to my eye lol.

You don't say...

This Recovery is hot. I had to chuckle though at Em's humility on "Talkin' 2 Myself". Ain't no way I'm believing Lil' Wayne or Kanye would've beaten him in a battle, and I'm a Wayne/Ye' fan too. I like the fact that while Lil Wayne was making his claim as the greatest alive and Kanye was blowing up, Em was sitting at the house listening, getting pissed off.

Seems like I'm one of the few but I'm digging Won't Back Down a lot.

Man with new Big Boi tracks, Recovery, new Mike Bigga (Killer Mike) on the horizon), new Lupe comin' out soon, it's a good time for me as a hip hop fan. If Detox and Outkast Gangsta Grillz ever actually drop I might stroke out.

Yeah that was cool when he brought up how he was thinking of calling Yeezy and Wayne out. Back in that time frame he was talking about, maybe they could have beat him in a battle but IDK how messed up he really was in terms of losing his skill like he said he did. Now though, well I think Forever showed it would be no contest.

I actually like Won't Back Down as well.

Hip-hop is definitely in a good place right now. So much good stuff coming out and so many good, fresh artists out there. This is like the NBA after the '03 draft class. We're in the golden age!

Listening to it now. How do you guys know what's what? The one I found only had Track 1, 2, etc. with no names.

The track names all came up for me when I dragged them into iTunes.

EDIT: BTW, does anyone else think that after this album there really isn't too much discussion as to Em being the best alive? Jay-Z has a strong case but skill-wise I think Em has the edge.

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

Em's verse on No Love:

Spoiler

I’m alive again
More alive than I have been in my whole entire life
I can see these people’s ears perk up as I begin
To spaz with the pen, I’m a little bit sicker than most
Sh-t’s finna get thick again
They say the competition is stiff
But I get a hard dick from this sh-t, now stick it in
I ain’t never giving in again
Caution to the wind, complete freedom
Look at these rappers, how I treat them
So why the f-ck would I join them when I beat them
They call me a freak because
I like to spit on these p-ssies fore I eat them
Man get these whack cocksuckers off stage
Where the f-ck is Kanye when you need him?
Snatch the mic from him, bitch I’mma let you finish in a minute
Yeah the rap is tight, but I’m
Bout to spit the greatest verse of all time
So you might want to go back to the lab tonight and um
Scribble out them rhymes you were going to spit
And start over from scratch and write new ones
But I’m afraid that it ain’t gonna make no difference
When I rip this stage and tear it in half tonight
It’s an adrenaline rush to feel the bass thump
From the place all the way to the parking lot, fellow
Set fire to the mic and ignite the crowd
You can see the sparks from hot metal
Cold-hearted from the day I Bogarted the game
I so started to rock fellow
When I’m not even in my harshest
You can still get roasted because Marsh is not mellow
Til I’m toppling from the top I’m not going to stop
I’m standing on my Monopoly board
That means I’m on top of my game and it don’t stop
Til my hip don’t hop anymore
When you so good that you can’t say it
Because it ain’t even cool for you to sound cocky anymore
People just get sick cause you spit
These fools can’t drool or dribble a drop anymore
And you can never break my stride
You never slow the momentum at any moment I’m about to blow
You’ll never take my pride
Killing the flow, slow venom any opponent
Is getting no mercy, mark my words
Ain’t letting up, relentless
I smell blood, I don’t give a f-ck: keep giving them hell
Where was you when I fell and needed help up?
You get no love

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

Wow JMood the original RE is a classic album.

Hella late but RE was a classic because of Hi-Tek's beats which is why Talib got mad and tried to drop some music w/o him. I'm not saying he's garbage but he was never up to par with the mighty Mos (when Mos was focused on rap).

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

Meh I'm a big Talib fan.

Recovery is crazy dope like everyone else has said

[ScoobySnax]

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

Where can I listen to Recovery? I'm anxious to see if he went old school Em like everyone has been saying

[eXperiment63]

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

It's not old school em, it's new school. It isn't the same. Slim Shady is dead, this is the new Marshall.

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

After listening for a few hours, i'm disappointed in Recovery. Production has taken a step back from his previous albums. His flow is nearly the same on every track, at least he's not using that silly voice. It's not a bad album, but its not even close to his best work (eminem show, marshall mathers lp, slim shady lp).

My favorite tracks are so bad (obvious dr dre beat) and no love ft lil wayne.

I don't think Jay has a case, since he hasn't released a good album since 2003. Him and Weezy are the two most overrated rappers right now imo.

But yes, he is in the discussion with 3 stacks, Black Thought , and Nas.

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

I'm only through track 7 (Not Afraid) and I would be happy if this was an entire album. Talkin' to myself is just SICK!

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

Just got through No Love. Wow, that song is fire. Wayne is ok but Em's verse ...

I am already loving this album. This is the Eminem I have been waiting for. Gives me chills how good this is so far.
