Hot take- if Relapse and Recovery were switched in order they’d both be appreciated more (esp. relapse) Relapse was Eminem’s first album out of rehab and it felt kind of confusing. Something like Recovery was what we were looking for from him at the time. Then for all the people that said “Eminem went pop” Relapse would have been a solid answer for them

I get your point but I think Recovery was a more mature and vulnerable album, a step forward from Relapse thematically wise and the order of the realeses fits with this concept. That being said I will always enjoy Relapse more than Recovery, to me it’s top 4 album from Em.

Disagree its old enough now that only people that like it revisit it (why comments on it are nothing but people liking it) people don't generally go back to an album song song from 10 year ago they didn't like. (For instance "big homie" by puff daddy is filled with people talking about what a good son it is now, when back when it came out it got hated on

Kind of agree with the conclusion that the response to albums like relapse and revival made Eminem shell up in terms of expressing his vulnerability with music. However, I think it's always sad when critics/people throw MMLP2 under the bus as if it wasn't one of the biggest albums of 2010s, and quite a complete project that looked back on certain themes & messages from MMLP in a more mature way. Also, I believe more people listen to Eminem than just his core fanbase, considering how many hits he has.

Man I’ll never forget going into relapse thinking “damn this is gonna suck” but by the end was blown away by how good it was. For a while I was just convinced that when you have low expectations, you can be pleasantly surprised. But I now know that in this specific case, that was bullshit. Cuz the reality is, this is an incredible album, and people just weren’t ready for it yet. Hip hop was at a weird point in 2009. Artists like T-Pain and Black Eyed Peas had a chokehold on the overall sound of this era. But people just wanted to dance. They weren’t ready for vulnerability like we are today. Don’t forget that just a year prior to this, Kanye dropped 808s & Heartbreaks and people HATED that album. But now today? It’s considered by many to be one of his best projects, and the album that birthed the sound of modern hip hop today. I think both 808s and Relapse are albums that had to come out when they did, despite people not being ready for them. Otherwise music would have never evolved to where it is today for better or worse. Those albums may not have been appreciated then but in the grand scheme of things, those albums will be greatly remembered as classics. Even artists like Picasso, Beethoven, Shakespeare and many others were seen as mediocre artists during their times.

Ironically he won a Grammy for this album yet he says he cringes when he listens to it lol also he had a Number 1 hit w/ “Crack A Bottle” which is so odd this album to me even tho it got shitted on when it was released, it still was something ominous about it and simply focused and a great concept it’s surely a cult classic and to me this album saw the last of Dr. Dre having a huge hand in the production but tbh this album was the first and last time Dr. Dre had the first and last say on the beats and yet it was the best decision Em ever made cause coming back after his hiatus from 2007-2009 he could just lock in on the rhymes while Dre works on the beats/production. I’ll reckon this album has some of Dr. Dre’s most versatile beats he’s ever done! This album released when I was 9 years old so it definitely holds a special place in my heart and I always found myself when listening to “Same Song & Dance” and “Beautiful” it time travels me back to the time when I first was immersing myself w/ this album.🐐🎯💯

I think the overall negative reception made him distance himself from the album but possibly he'll change his mind as the crowds have also changed their mind after 10 years. Personally I loved it, and found Recovery quite disappointing after Relapse.

Relapse has the best production out of any Eminem album. It's the first and probably last album of his we'll get where its 95% Dre beats. This was Eminem not trying to chase a hit song or trying to appeal to anyone but himself. It's a concept album which he never did before or after this one. Not to mention, the final track Underground is in a 5/4 time signature which is super rare in rap music. While the subject matter can turn away certain people, that was the point. His technical ability is also next-level. The flows he does on this are more creative than the super fast stuff he does now. His use of multi-syllabic rhyming is also perfectly balanced out with the substance in his lyrics. The only real issue is that the accents that take up most of the album can be jarring. I know Em has stated he used the accents to make the words rhyme better but I would argue that most of the rhymes wouldve worked without the accents. But also, if you need to bend a word to the point you switch nationalities, the rhyme wasn't meant to be. I mean, dude was able to rhyme 'toolboxes' with 'screwdrivers' flawlessly on Survival. The track Framed from the Revival album gives us a glimpse into what Relapse song couldve sounded like without the accents. The fact that this was his first solo project in 5 years and getting completely sober and the whole concept is him being back on drugs and committing heinous acts on people is wild.

Agree sooo hard with everything you just said, except the take on the accents. They are an integral part of his creativity in this album.. of his choice to let go here. Without the accents, the storylines wouldn’t have hit as hard either. Also, it’s quite an ability. Who else can do that so naturally? I admire it in a way 😂 I would miss the characters he created in these songs though his accents deeply if they were to suddenly disappear. Relapse wouldn’t be relapse!

I’m not a huge fan of Eminem.. but Relapse has long been my favorite record of his. I’ve listened to it Cover to cover with no skips on numerous occasions💯

My favorite Eminem album OAT. It’s a seminal concept horrorcore masterpiece that plays like the greatest of horror films in record form. Brilliance. Sheer brilliance.

W, this is my third favorite Em album. It makes me sad that people don’t show it the respect it deserves. It’s such a great album

ok, I'm giving this a like before I even listen...Relapse IS a masterpiece

Relapse is unique in that it's Eminem's one and maybe ONLY "concept album" that's ever been made by him, and that alone is what gives Relapse such a unique edge among his discography. Though one thing I would like to see is how Relapse (2009) could potentially tie in with King Mathers (2007), his unreleased album and whatever tracks we know were made during his time away from the spotlight. Fun fact, "Careful What You Wish For", and "Beautiful" were originally made for King Mathers, his retirement album made between Late 2006, and very early 2008, and "My Darling" was made at the tail end transitioning into when he finally moved towards the Relapse concept in 2008. So... tracks carried over.

The hate given to the albums that followed Relapse is wild to me. All of them were solid, except maybe Revival, with Recovery, Music to be Murdered By being up there with his other classics in my opinion.

I'm gonna stop you right there at 10:00, MMLP2 and Recovery were both fantastic albums that should not be mentioned in the same sentence as Revival or MTBMB. Recovery is almost all bangers from front to back. Almost Famous, 25 To Life, Cold Wind Blows, Space Bound, Not Afraid, LTWYL, Recovery is low key his most slept on album. Relapse has a cult following. And MMLP2 has great tracks as well. Bad Guy is lyrically one of the greatest Eminem tracks ever made, followed by the parking lot skit that's a sequel to the skit in Criminal. So Much Better, Survival, Legacy, Rap God, Head Lights, sure this was the album where you could see the decline start to happen, but it was still an extremely solid album. When Em dies guarantee people will look at MMLP2 as a masterpiece.

Relapse is my favourite Em album. The album has such a dark theme. There’s something about it I can’t explain but love

i’m sooo happy that you made this video!!! i feel a lot of people write this album off because of Eminem’s use of the jafaican accent. but it’s an incredible project! 👏👏👏

😂 Amanda him I said fine I have his 0 well I got his

I think people were kinda soured on Eminem after the silly tracks from his previous LP Encore that ended up as singles, like "Just Lose It" and "Ass Like That", which made it hard to take Em seriously. He said a lot of that LP was rushed out to fill gaps caused by leaks, but most people (myself included) didn't know about that. So for us, the album was overshadowed or even defined by those few bad tracks. It wasn't helped by Curtain Call, a collection of Eminem finest accomplishments, coming out with "FACK" as the first track. Personally I like FACK, it's pretty funny and the beat is good... but it felt like such a stark contrast to the tracks that follow it, especially with FACK being right before The Way I Am. Gone are the tracks that you grew up with, the stuff that got you to fall in love with Eminem. The Way I Am told us who he was *then*, FACK told us who he was *now*. Then Relapse drops... and it's still full of Em putting on accents. And 3AM as a single was OK if you like horrorcore, but going so hard in that direction was kinda new and too out there for a lot of fans. He'd talked about dark and personal stuff before, but now he's rapping about drinking someone's bath water. Plus all the stuff referencing grape (with no G), and bars about sexualising child/teen stars, it was getting kinda stale for an audience that might have started to wonder if they ever really liked that, or just put up with it because the rest of Em's stuff was dope. Relapse certainly has merits, but it's easy to see why it wasn't well received. If there really is an alternate history where we got a better Eminem discography (11:28), I'd say that's it's a timeline where the Encore leaks never happened, or Em and Dre decided to just ignore them, so it didn't get filled with stuff like "Big Weenie". But ultimately, it wasn't the public that decided Eminem's future, it was his own choices. Critical reception can make you better, but when you're on Eminem's level, only he could make himself fail.

i wish i could just take an hour to convince him that this is his best album XD

Relapse is what a grew up to teenage years . Favorite hip hop album of all time

I literally relistened to this album yesterday, u reading my mind dude 👀

Love the video, love the album! The graphics you put in every song are amazing.

I agree with your overall point but MMLP2 doesn't deserve to be in that category, spectacular album imo

The song Beautiful speaks for itself by name, that song and Not Afraid are one of those Eminem songs that almost made me cry when I heard them as an adolescent

Cool video dude! This is probably the Eminem album I listen to the most. I feel it’s maybe the most conceptual album of his up to that point at least. Love the production on it (I believe it was mostly Dr. Dre) and it has my 2 favorite Eminem songs Beautiful and Deja Vu. Keep up the great work dude!

I absolutely love this album. thanks for shedding some light on it's brilliance!

I'll be honest, I think Em is leagues better than he was, but the general sound he still uses is so comparatively stale around him(also the albums are way too long goddamn). I had no idea what to feel on first listen of Relapse, but man I am so glad so see where it's brought him. Hope he's eventually inspired to tap into some of the richer roots of hip-hop in the near future

Easily his greatest album but people are nostalgia blind with Eminem Show, MMLP & SSLP

For me, this album is similar to The Shinning. The Shinning was panned when it first came out, and now it's regarded as one of the greatest horror movies ever made. I remember when this album first dropped, I didn't think much of it. I rarely listen to Eminem anymore, but for some reason this last year I went back and put it on. By the time I got to "Insane" I remember thinking "is this his most creative album that I somehow slept on?" I think the extra songs on Refill are just as brilliant. Now I'm obsessed and can't stop listening to it. His macabre story telling, flow and rhyming is impeccable. Pure creativity. What I think is most interesting is Eminem doesn't like this album and has said in an interview that he puts Encore and Relapse as his least favorite albums, with Relapse probably being below Encore. But he did say that this album was the first time he had fun rapping in a long time, and I think it shows. I hope it gets a cult resurgence, because it certainly deserves it.

Man... the video I been waiting to find.

‘Stay Wide Awake’ is the one. Legit top 3 of my fave Em tracks. The lyrics. The no fear factor. Crazily underrated

I heavily agree, Relapse is disturbing and ridiculous to say the least, but Eminem's creativity and ability to take risks, really pays a lot, specially when you look at how amazingly written some of the songs are. Because you have incredibly vulnerable songs like "Deja Vu" and "Beautiful", tracks like "Crack a Bottle" and "We Made You" that are more easier to listen to, and insanely written tracks like the rhyme scheme in "Stay Wide Awake" or his flow in "Underground". And if that wasn't enough, he even dropped Relapse: Refil (Deluxe) which contains amazing songs like "Buffalo Bill", "Drop the Bomb on 'Em" or even one of the best concept songs I've heard from Em called "My Darling".

Loved this video. Thank you.

Yes finally! This is easily my favorite album of his, even though I love all of his albums except Revival

Fire album, its top 3 for me and I prefer it over the SSLP. I don't think its nearly as underrated now but still it deserves as much love as it can get. Also Deja Vu is top 10 Em.

This is my fourth favorite ‘Em album, just behind the “classic” three.

I agree, but MMLP2 was also a good album. Not forgettable. Not just because of rap god but because it did have some pretty good songs too

This album needed some time to becoome as good as it was

I delved into this album again yesterday and it really is a masterpiece that has aged well.

Relapse is my number 3 for his album

Anyone remember that website that accompanied the release of the album where you unlocked parts of the horror house as the time of release grew closer? It was an amazing time

relapse is an album that gets better with age, in my opinion. i always find myself listening it more often than his “prime” albums. “stay wide awake” and “same song and dance” are in my top 10 eminem songs. “music box” and “my darling” from the refill release are great too!

People need to listen or this album! The lyricism and flows are top notch! It’s different but I love it! My second favorite behind The Eminem Show but man this one is close!

I really like some of the bonus songs on ‘Refill’ as well, for example My Darling’s first verse Eminem quickly addresses criticism by saying he is his only competition and then spends the next two verses arguing with his own inner demon. Music Box and Hell Breaks Loose are also a couple great bonus songs

Relapse is my favorite Eminem album and I'm glad I'm seeing praise for it online. I don't think he executed the concept as well as he could, but I still love listening to this album except for the song My Mom.

Yooo!! Relapse is and always has been my favorite Em record I remember when it dropped I bought it at Walmart censored because I was like 9 lol

Finally someone gives this album respect. This is my favourite Eminem album

"Relapse" is one of the best albums I've ever heard. It's so damn playful with the sounds, yet so dark. It plays with the proposition of a better world, a better outcome to be had - while unfulfilled. "Deja Vu" is the greatest track on there. The level of insight Em shows there is beyond. To even think that this album is not even mentioned among his all time best records is just simply baffling.

Relapse is my favourite album

what people forget is that eminem has 10,5 solo albums and every single album sounds different, who else in the industry can do that?

I recently revised this album, and while I agree with most of your take, my one pushback would be that Bagpipes from Baghdad is hilarious. Great work tho

I don't understand. This album really resonated with me during a very tough time in my life. I loved it. 😃

Relapse and Encore are getting a lot of critical reassessment these last few years and rightfully so. I still belive if Encore didn’t have that 4 track middle section it would have been on part with the Eminem Show. It is just a shame that by praising Encore and Relapse that were initially shat on, people are now turning and shitting on Recovery and MMLP2, which were initially welcomed, but now feel forgettable

@@smaaron_j_46 Yeah if not for Revival, his 2010’s output would have been remembered more favorably. Cause Recovery and MMLP2 were huge albums and were received well. To be honest Revival is his only really shitty album. Everything else is okay to good to perfect

@@yusifvaliyev9748 I personally think Revival would’ve been better off as an EP with Walk On Water with lofi drums, Castle and Arose. Those are the only good songs that deserved better than to be put on that dookie ass album

@@yusifvaliyev9748 MMLP2 was a mammoth. I think it's his most cohesive and mature album of the modern catalogue, both sonically and lyrically as it carries forward on many of the themes of MMLP in a more grown up way. It also blends technicality with musicality and his natural aggression than Recovery.

Relapse was South Park on scott tenorman must die moment. He snapped. Being bullied and being pushed. He woke to a horror scene. Cartman being an asshole but not a bully, he turned into a monster.

I swear its my favourite the more i listen the more i apreciate relapse❤

I absolutely love Relapse.

Video hasn’t started but it better be about relapse recovery or mmlp2

This my 3rd favorite Em Disc

my favorite album after encore. music box ❤

To me it's the best album he's ever put out ❤️

I love this album.

Relapse is like good wine

Growing up I was big into eminem. I remember when relapse was still new and I bumped it a lot. However it’s undoubtedly just not up to snuff of his older stuff. I occasionally will go back to a song from relapse onward. But I still listen to a lot of his first three albums all the time, they’re in my daily playlists. It’s hard to live up to those instant classics. I understand that and I respect eminem for being able to change things up and stay relevant. For what it is, relapse was a really great dive into a side of eminem we’ve never seen. However I’d be lying if I said I don’t just want a blonde white boy saying fuck you to the world while getting drunk and causing mayhem.
