Why does Eminems Recovery keep getting good reviews when it sucks?
Question by : Why does Eminems Recovery keep getting good reviews when it sucks?
Eminem is the first and only consistent(flow wise/not counting lyrical content) white rapper untill a ton of white guys get a flow he will always sell huge numbers. It’s like if there was only one white guy doing R&B like Justin Timberlake, he would dominate because he is the only voice that segment of the population relate to. That said since when is music quality about record sales?
Where is Motzart on the charts? does that prove anything? Eminem like most rappers sings to the lowest common denominator his tracks are full of 4 letter words for gays and abuse to women and regardless of how many records he sells he will not ever be half the MC that Black Thought of the Roots is.
Eminem and alot of the gangster/flash rap out there is just homophobic trash talking and chest pounding with no soul, my car is bigger, my chain shines brighter ect. Thats why you hardly hear it on the radio a few months after it’s out yet Hendrix still gets airtime.
Rappers with the real soul of Hip Hop (Arrested Development,Nas,Roots,Kanye-when he’s not being a self absorbed ass,Talib Kweli,Mos Deff,Blu,Murs,MF Doom,many others that get zero attention on the radio because the truth is the industry doesnt want to believe blacks are intelligent, nor does it want to offer in-roads for intelligent music into the industry. People like Alicia Keys and Kanye had to struggle to even get signed because they wernt the usual sex and violence rap/r&b types. Thats the truth.
I bought Recovery under the illusion that he had recovered from drug abuse and actually had something thoughtful to say. Other then Talkin to Myself,No Love,and Not Afraid I felt like I was just hearing the same old mad ramblings of a love sick boy who refuses to grow up and talk about anything but his mother or his relationship with his ex-wife.
How is it this crap gets good reviews in most mainstream publications. He cant sing on any of the tracks he tries too. Seriously compare his vocals or lyrical content for that matter to Drakes Thank Me Later it’s not even a contest he might flow faster but if he’s still talking about gays and hating women it’s hardly a “Recovery”. How can a man rap about his ex-wife for 14years straight and kill her in effigy on every single album and still people arnt over it?
I hope to god some good white rappers put albums out so white kids have a decent role model/influence to listen to other then this crack head who obviously hasnt recovered at all.
Best Hip-Hop album of the year???? sorry not even close go listen to Nas and Damien Marleys Distant relatives or the Roots latest either of those dwarfs this like a NBA player stomping an ant in lyrical content, soul, passion, and style.
Feel free to pump white trash party while you drive down the road with the windows rolled down. I just hope your not headed to a job interview….2 out of 5 stars, skip it.
