Maybe I’m biased because growing up Pac was my first favorite rapper. Me and my family listened to his music heavy! I was addicted to this album before I even knew Em produced it.

Now I appreciate it even more because Em’s production was so distinctive and unique around 2002-2006. The Black Cotton beat is so fire I wish Em kept it for himself and did a whole song on it lol. It’s also one of his best hooks. His voice is silky smooth on it.

It’s cool that my favorite rapper when I got older produced my childhood favorite rappers posthumous album. Other than the weird mixing on Pac’s vocals on some of the songs, this album is a solid 8 out of 10 for me.

Old-school rap features? Less gimmicks? More storytelling? For it to be a sequel to a previous album? More Dr. Dre production? Old-school Em production?

Your answer could be featured in a new article coming soon on EMDb (Eminem Music Database). Link on my profile.

Sonically cooked. Grandpa still has ears

TES is one of my fav albums, maybe even second to MMLP, but I love a lot of his albums. I even found an appreciation for Relapse because of this sub.

Recovery is probably in my top five, but I know it gets a lot of heat on here for being too mainstream and pop-leaning. And I don’t disagree with that, but isn’t TES kind of have that same vibe? Like obv it’s a good album, but TES is a peak mainstream and is a bit pop-y (admittedly less than Recovery). I was also in my teens when he blew up in 2000s and he was huge with songs like Cleaning Out My Closet, Sing for the Moment, Till I Collapse— very mainstream.

Anyone get what I’m saying?

The simplicity, the guitar, everything.

Something something kid rock.

Soo.. long story short. I come a cross a short video on YouTube of Charlemagne saying something like " yeah it would be cool fo Em to do tours.. there's lotta white people growing up on his music who wanna take their kids to see him" or whatever.

I think Charlemagne and people like him should go to a village far in the mountains of somewhere probably in Mongolia or Zimbabwe and you probably find someone listened to Eminem.

I grew up in a district in Morocco.. around 2009 when I was 8 .. I didn't know English.. there was no social media like today or streaming paltforms.. and I remember having MP3 with a lot of songs .. including Eminem's songs.. and around me there was bunch of people who listened to him .. although they didn't speak English but they acknowledged his musicality without knowing the lyrics or wut hes saying..

I ain't gonna write a lot during Jr high school or during high school or at the gym ..wutvwer.. and how many people listened to him who are not Americans..

But one thing I wanna say.. when some Afro Americans say '' oh he's white bla bla bla.. that's why hé made it ".. people in other continents faaaar away from this racial bullshit debate.. love his music whether at the gym, at home, or in the street.. they probably don't know his lyrics..( which made me actually love and appreciate his work more when I started learning English at the age of 13/14yo) but still they know that guy is amazing.. and he probably don't realize how far his music went to..
