We back after a pretty chaotic friday, nem nem episode 5:
Encore is a weird asf album. Even on the good songs he picks some reallllly weird flows.
The album has pretty great heights with mockingbird, and like toy soldiers. Just lose it is also really funny I got a soft spot for that one.
But man some of the choices and subjects em chooses to rap about on here just left me...confused to say the least?
Em's cadence choices do not work it feels like hes drowning in his self awareness instead of surfing on it like he does on the eminem show. Like sure you're a jester eminem but you can't go around making a song about puke good dude wtf.
And like i could maybe get behind it if it was a little like catchy mindless lyrical miracle but ITS NOT. The hooks are trash, the beats arent even overbearing so you cant even ignore what hes saying.
On the upsided first time ive liked a D12 feature on an em album
