Insane is one of the hardest dre beats of all time and em thought best to sprinkle it with stories of child suicide and rape

Spend some time is about Brittany (though he references Kim at the end)

Crazy in Love is mostly about Kim but also references Brittany (the 24 year old in question, since she was 24 when they dated)

This is what we have to thank for all this s***

1 - relapse gets panned, too many accents, ott horrorcore, rapping sub par. Dre beats seem like a waste despite being some of his best ever

2 - recovery - em ditches the horrorcore, the dre beats, the accents, and enlists newer producers for an album which is arguably the polar opposite of relapse. Far better received, includes tracks with pop singers which all seem to chart well

3 - mmlp2... em basically reuses the recovery model but changes the personal themes slightly to focus on relationships more, getting old, and being better than everyone at using a dictionary. Songs with pop singers hit the charts again, album is generally well received by fans

4 - revival.... em tries the same formula as the previous two albums, enlisting pop singers for hit potential, doubling down on stadium esque production, and shifts the themes again to focus on politics, whilst also continuing to talk about the same themes of getting old, his past d*** addictions, and how good he is at rapping. Also features two songs about being trashy and pulling women in shady bars for no other reason besides Dr dre asking him "where's the fun"

5 - kamikaze - revival is totally panned because it unknowingly ran with all the worst features of the previous two albums, realising that despite chart success, people actually don't want to listen to pop hits or pink, eminem then decides to rush together an album that almost completely turns it on its head and features zero pop singers, zero stadium rock beats, and ditches almost all mentions of getting old, politics, or evenings at the bar with white trash women. Essentially zero fun, rushed, shorter, smaller scale

6 - mtbmb - eminem is lost at this point, both previous albums suck according to almost everyone, and a follow up is needed quickly otherwise his legacy will be tainted. He looks to the previous albums for a formula to stick to. Realises people don't want the pop hits anymore, are sick of the recovery model, and realises that people are starting to come around to relapse. Decides to enlist the relapse model, ditches the accents, bloats out the tracklist, and almost manages to make a good album.

7 - present day... eminem has been drip feeding us with songs from his past and present which are previously unheard, most of which are produced by dre, interestingly so. The best reviewed tracks on mtbmb were all touched by the dre hands. He's hopefully realised by now that rushing an album is a mistake, accents are a mistake, horrendous pop features are a mistake, over the top horrorcore is a mistake, and that stadium rock beats are also a mistake. Consequently I hope he has realised that dre production is actually what we want and that relapses issues are all his fault, that shorter albums are more listenable, and hopefully that we are all tired of hearing the same old s***

The only worry I have is this god damned cover art reading like it's a fortnight dlc pack

The only problem for point 7 - Dre hasn’t made a hot beat in over a decade

You missed a big point with mmlp2

Em made Rap God. His fan base absolutely ate this up, Essentially starting the white people obsessed with fast rapping trope

Because of how well that song did with his fans he kept going with the rapping really fast s***

Something this post made me realize is how much of a slave Eminem is to his own fan base

Any aspect of his music they don’t like, He immediately stops. Any aspect they do like, He triples down on

They didn’t like Relapse so he completely stopped the horror stuff, The accents and using Dre production. He made the safest possible move with Recovery, Going full pop. His fans liked this so it became his formula for the next few albums. MMLP2 added fast rapping and old rock samples. He did all that again on Revival but it didn’t work this time. That’s why he was so confused, His thought was “This worked for the last albums why is it not working now?”

With kamikaze he completely ditched all those elements. No pop rap, No rock samples. This album was better received by his fans so now it’s his new formula. MTBMB just followed that blueprint and I guarantee this new one is also gonna do that

I'd say Busta Rhymes made people interested in fast rapping but Rap God cemented it.
