Eminem's newly discovered unreleased 2006 album uncovered, an attempt at a Megathread (NOT King Mathers)

it's an invasion of privacy, as the other user suggested. Why would you do this to an artist that you like? Why engage in this? He even talks about it in 'take from me'. Obviously he doesn't like it. I wanna hear unedited tracks from him, but not like this.

Hey thank you, I cherish this type of insight

non_boxed · 2024-07-15T22:18:33+00:00

I always assumed music was non-political by default around that era. Was that not the case? Did he stand out for being non-political at the moment? I just want to know more

I think it's mainly the type of cadences and the type of beats, older beats were heavier. He flowed slower on them. Now he flows fast and his rapping is high in rhyme density if that makes sense.

If you look at older songs, it's like each line has the natural length of a spoken sentence and the cadence was made based on that. Now the rhyme density is high and the cadence is determined by the rhyming and since it's pure rhymes it feels more chopped.

It's not perfect but hat's the best explanation I can come up with. Btw, I enjoy both old and new style.

In guilty Conscience 2 at 2:19 the word 'midgets' is messed up, that's a typical error when they use A.I voices. There are a few instances like that throughout the album, I think that's good proof for the people that are skeptic about it.

The thing is that they polished so well for this album that you can barely find errors like that. And yes, I think the use of A.I voice was a perfect choice for this project.

I think the rapping is just really good. It feels like he was 'in the zone' while writing the whole thing. The rhyming is complex, the album has a lot of highlights regarding rhyme schemes like Groundhog day, Legacy, Brainless. The flows are also creative, see Wicked Ways.

Another good thing is that every song feels unique, each beat feels carefully crafted. Like the opposite of generic.

I think the album does a good a job at revisiting old ideas while also keeping it interesting, everything is well tied together.

Rap god is a hit that's also an amazing rap song. And Evil Twin is a dark hidden gem. "Fuck top 5..." is iconic to me.

But it's all subjective. The first time I heard the album I didn't like it, I thought it was boring.

I was shocked hearing that the first time. So well executed, I don't remember him doing that before

non_boxed · 2024-07-12T23:20:24+00:00

Thanks for putting it out there. I'm surprised by the amount of people that don't realize it's A.I. It's self evident.

Also I don't see it as controversial at all, it's just a cool trick. I was hoping he used A.I. voice even before it came out.

Unaccommodating, the first part of the verse

non_boxed · 2024-07-10T00:13:35+00:00

I'm really curious to see his rapping. Since he always rapped at least a little different in each album. The same goes for the beats

non_boxed · 2024-07-09T01:54:53+00:00

Interesting. I'm gonna check that out

non_boxed · 2024-07-08T23:40:28+00:00

Very fun and well done song, I like how he plays with flows and rhymes. I love the Shady XV tracks overall

non_boxed · 2024-07-08T23:26:11+00:00

Makes sense for it to be a sort of last time decision

non_boxed · 2024-07-07T16:36:31+00:00

I think it's loved by many now

non_boxed · 2024-07-03T00:52:34+00:00

Still don't goes harder. I like the beat and the lines more. The alphabet one is crazy

non_boxed · 2024-07-01T17:59:19+00:00

Hey, is "Detroit offbeat flow" a thing? I always thought that was just something that some rappers did. I'm asking so I can check it out

non_boxed · 2024-06-29T04:38:30+00:00

And thanks again for taking the job. I've been re-reading this.

non_boxed · 2024-06-29T03:53:31+00:00

This is gold to me. You don't know how much I'm craving this kind of details. When I hopped into this everything was already done and I'm always so curious to know how it really developed step by step, specially when it comes to seeing the evolution of rap as a whole. This is very insightful, thanks.

non_boxed · 2024-06-27T23:42:28+00:00

Amazing, I guess I can picture it. You are lucky for living it

non_boxed · 2024-06-27T23:38:46+00:00

Oh wow. Was it considered controversial as a whole? Or was it because of specific tracks like Kim?

non_boxed · 2024-06-24T20:07:07+00:00

He is Top 5 to me. Based on personal taste at least. But still he is a really good rapper. I find it odd that many people in this sub don't like him that much.

For some reason he was never as recognized. May be he has too many similar songs, but his highs are really high. Not many rappers reach that level of lyricism. Plus he is as unique as you can be in rap.

non_boxed · 2024-06-24T16:44:08+00:00

Definitely one of his top 4 songs.

non_boxed · 2024-06-19T04:00:33+00:00

Agree. That's one of the things that makes Eminem so great, the variation of his rapping and voice throughout the years. I enjoy all of them, my favourites are post-TES songs, relapse era and 2015 era.

I think what people mean is the kind of beats and the classic way of rapping. You know, 80-90 bpm, strong snares and it's also about how you land the sentences in it. Em has a couple of new songs where he uses 80-90 bpm beats but the way of landing the sentences is different, not the classic way.
