The Friday Thread

Encore was not the best, Toy Soldiers was a sick track though. Most rappers have a catalogue of ****e to go with their classics.

There isn't a track on Revival I dont like which is unusual for me. Usually there's at least one track I'd skip over.

The Marshall Mathers LP was just brilliant and when I first realised what a poet the guy is. I went and dug out an old John Cooper Clarke cassette and played that to death as well.

Good job my old neighbour back then was a deaf old biddy!

I meant Revival by the way not Encore

Eminem is bang average, the odd good track but nothing special.

Ground breaking in his early days. Like a lot of artists, couldn’t really sustain the early brilliance, which was fuelled by anger, confusion, and startling honesty

 

[Bodinki]

Slim Shady LP was good
Marshall Mathers LP was excellent
The Eminem Show was a masterpiece and is the only album I have ever heard where every track is awesome.
Encore had two or three great tracks but was otherwise pretty "meh"
Relapse was great, loved it, half a dozen bangers on there
Recovery was meh, and so was every album since, until Kamikaze......

The first few records are as you say fuelled from raw experiences and tend to be very honest, hard to maintain that.

Can I have Skiddy's post I had in my signature put back on?

You didn't need to delete that to put your sig on

Not an Eminem fan or a rap fan at all but I do respect him as a musician.

Rap crap.

Seconded .

 

[Tel (they/them)]

@Commachio hates Rap, I'd like it if he could be locked into a rap thread with no access to any others.

The music industry has been in the doldrums for way too long. The pervasive influence of the worst of American rap and hip hop has strangled the life and soul out of the art; and programs like the X Factor has placed an emphasis on “the big diva performance” denigrating musicianship and song writing to the back row. The generic “gangsta” **** that fills our kids’ heads is truly awful.

I’m waiting the return of punk to was the streets clean again.

Bah! Humbug!

Don't be bitter mate there is a shelf life for everything and you just have to accept that Gary Glitter is no longer popular, beard included.

Such nonsense and typical of a mainstream music listener. The age of music movements has gone, the access to music via so many formats will mean that a lot of credible music is buried you just have to switch off radio one and go find it. Plenty of great new music out there if you open your mind.

Do you wanna be in my gang, Tel?

I’m the man who put the “bang” in “gang,” mate.

Trouble is, I no longer have the patience to trawl through all the ****e in order to find it, Luvvy.

Hate The Beatles, boring as ****.

We agree on something

I'm sure we agree on a lot.

That's a pity, there's a lot of good music out there. Have a listen to The Oh Sees if you want some modern punk/garage rock.

I hear a lot of stuff that I like, but I never remember the names of the bands.

I quite like it that way. Living in the moment is the only proper way to live.

Does that mean that you have forgiven Spurly for dry humping you over the past few days, mate?
