As I listened to Liverpool fans sing 'Shoulda stayed on the Tele' in their thousands against Newcastle, the only person that came to my mind (apart from Alan Shearer obviously) was Eminem's Relapse.
2/3 years after Shady's 'retirement' every work that came out from rap studios round America was being measured against MMLP.

From The Game's Documentary to Jay-Z's American Gangster, Stans and even the rest of the 'hiphop heads' around the globe were quick to point out that Eminem's last album is the best thing after sex on a Dubai beach.
It was seriously getting annoying when came out to blame hiphop's 'death' on Shady's retirement.

Then came the 14th of May 2009, four days before the 'rebirth of hiphop' . . . yeah, the day the the most eagerly awaited hiphop album of our time leaked.
Got the album, mission accomplished . . . mildly put, if this is what Eminem wanted to bring out, he shoulda stayed in retirement and held on to the cred.

It's funny how Alan Shearer had to manage Newcastle before the Magpies realised that football management is not as clearcut as sitting on Match of The Day hating on Arsenal. . . it's also funny how Eminem had to release an album to see that hiphop music has evolved.

U must be having a laugh, mate!!!
Eminem's Relapse is the best rap album i have listened to in the last 3 years.
If you want to base your judgement on the leaked version of his album, it's entirely up to you.
Wait for the itunes version.

Dude, you're going to have to send this one to me . . . cus I don't see myself contributing to this robbery.
This is a purely commercial effort . . . coming from someone that 'can't release an album because of what the game has turned into' I'm dissapointed.

You're talking bout the leaked version, I'll wait for i-tunes, I think it's coming out later in the UK as usual.
Maybe the audio quality will help, but same thing with Newcastle, maybe they won't be relegated.

How is this a commercial effort?
Dig deep into the album(forget the radio-friendly songs on MTV).
"3 am", "Underground", "Stay Wide Awake", etc.
These are dark songs no rapper has been able to put out for the past 3-4 years.
Flow-wise and lyrically, this album is amazing.

Album to be released on the18th in the UK, 19th in the USA(Never mind, i will send the album to your mailbox).
What i don't seem to understand is critics saying Eminem should change his stylez. . . . .How can?
Elton John hasn't stopped his love stories, Beyonce hasn't stopped her beautiful liar schizo, why should Eminem change?
Bagpipes from Baghdad till ma pulse stops.

You call that radio-friendly?? Nah, that's not even ear-friendly

Come on, this album is not even as good as The Game's Documentary, lyrically and otherwise.

You want to know why it's a commercial effort, Eminem's on Friday with Jonathan Ross, he's releasing a game for this . . . why did we wait four years to see what a 50 Cent coulda done??

Every idiot comes out to say they're not releasing albums because standards have dipped, and then they end up pushing the standards much lower.
I heard 50Cent saying he'staking a break from hiphop too. Why?? He 'ain't feeling this climate in hiphop'. . . rubbish

Go and listen to track 20 "Underground" and tell me The Game can match the poetry in his bleeped up life.
Are u shitting me?
How can you compare Eminem's album to The Game??
Obie Trice's albums are all better than anything The Game spewed.
Take 50 cent out of "Documentary" and you have the same mix-tape quality of ALABAI or Mode-9.

I'm not saying he should change, I'm saying this effort is crap.

This effort is only 2nd to MMLP.
Relapse is better than Encore, Slim Shady and The Eminem Show.

I'll take that bed rest so as not to read this crap anymore.

Deeper than rap is a good album but not as good as Relapse. Lyrically, Eminem is sicker than Rick. Beautiful, Insane, Hello and Underground are all testament's to Em's lyrical genius. Besides, Rick Ross featured a lot of people to make his album good.

No one is calling Rick Ross a rap genius or comparing him to EM i hope you understand Ricky can have a better album and not necessarily be a better rapper

Naah i have a better idea. . You could pluck out your eyeballs with a pitch-fork!! Rick Ross's album is better
Eminem was supposed to raise the standards right? well i'm sorry Miss Jackson he has actually lowered it further

A-40:

Not in a million years would Rick Ross(50 cent's bitch) have a better album than Marshal Mathers.
It's not possible. There is RAP and there is rap.
Name any song in the past 5 years deeper than Eminem's "Underground" and i will hand you $500.

No need for u to act like Rick Ross here. . . . .
Eminem's album whups Rick Ross'. . . . . .It's like comparing Biggie's "Ready To Die" to Nelly's "Country Grammar".

~Sauron~:

It's like comparing Biggie's "Ready To Die" to Nelly's "Country Grammar".

The mere suggestion that they could even be compared haunts me.

Hmmm, still watchin

Only immature minds would like Eminem's new release. . . . . Sauron's still stuck in a teenage mindset. . . . Eminem should evolve abeg. . . . dude is damn near 35 years old, still sounding immature . . . . the jokes aint funny no more. . . .

Also, anyone that thinks Eminem Show was a good album needs to be investigated. . . . . I am guessing that those who like Eminem Show started listening to Eminem circa 2002. If that was your first taste of Eminem, you may possibly like it, but those of us who've been listening to Em since 97 would tell you that Slim Shady LP was his best album, followed by Marshall Mathers LP. . . . he started changing his style on Marshall Mathers LP and he took it to an extreme on Eminem Show where he was more concerned about making multi-syllables fit perfectly on the beat, and less concerned about wit and good story-telling. . . . .

U are a consummate retard!!!
Eminem should evolve from what to what?? He tried evolving in his last album(Encore). . . .
Talking about Politics and the ills of the society and purists condemned the album saying it was too dull for their liking.
Y'all Sean Kingston fans can't have it both ways. . . . .This is Eminem back to Slim Shady.

You are hurling unadulterated balderdash. . . . . . .How u even compare MMLP to Slim Shady LP beats me to death.
MMLP is by far his best work and RELAPSE should be directly under it(above Slim Shady and The Eminem Show).

He started changing his style on Marshall Mathers LP and he took it to an extreme on Eminem Show where he was more concerned about making multi-syllables fit perfectly on the beat, and less concerned about wit and good story-telling. . . . .

U dunno what you talking about . . . . . .
Eminem is still witty and his story-telling skills are still top drawer.
Stick to your T-Pain and T.I. if you don't like Eminem.

Jealous indeed. . . Eminem has no game he couldn't even make second base with Mariah and is probably having a wankathon on the poor gyal right now

Deeper than Rap. . . . . .That has 2.5 stars review on Rolling Stone??
Poor rappers like Rick Ross are the ones giving Mode-9 and Blackface a little hope that they can still win the grammys.
I understand "Deeper Than Rap" has seen a steady decline of sales with approximately 60% drop each week and is currently unlikely to reach gold status. 50 cent has killed another career yet again.

Ask yourself why he removed those comments from his blog 24 hours later. . . . . .
Well. . . . . .It was because he belatedly realised Eminem was saying the truth. Intel says MC has confessed that Eminem did the schitzo.

Well, this clip should convince you Eminem boned Mariah Carey with no condom.

Rolling Stone?? The Source gave MMLP 2 mics on that basis we can assume MMLP was crap abi??
Its not about the sales its not every artiste that actually go back to record stores and buy back their own albums lol
Deeper than Rap sold almost 200,000 in its first week it is definitely going to go Gold.50 has nothing on him besides Trilla barely made gold so this has nothing to do with 50 that album is strictly for rap heads and not the Hip Pop Fiddy would most likely put out

Tell officer Ross to go back to the penn and continue his job with keeping lags in check.
Rap is not his forte. "Trilla" was even better as it sold 200,000 in it's first week.

You have never met Fergie's wife so that claim would be ridiculous.

Stop arguing like a 5th grader since when did it become a surety that you must bone every girl you date
It is not every girl you date you shag and it is not every girl you shag you date you of all people should know this

IMO, his best work can be heard between 1996 - 2002. 'infinite' the ' slimshady lp' and 'MMLP' and the numerous mixtapes and collabos he featured on. After 2002 he loses it for me. His rapping voice begins to change, which is quite annoying and he starts to take himself too seriously.

I was a proper stan back in the day but when i bought the ' eminem show' there was something missing.  I hardly listened to the album and have gone off him since. I still regularly bump his pre 2002 stuff but i wont even bother to get relapse if 'we made you' is anything to go by.

It was quite disappointing to see the video and realise that this was a 'stick to formula and make money' creative effort. . . . .plus he looks drawn and gaunt, like he's on crack.

The funniest part is the fact that he's trying to use this shock effect to get attention
This whole serial killer thingy is just Dre's genius . . . 'they've been waiting for five years, let's try to give them a fake-MMLP, they'll accept anything'
Little wonder a PC-game's coming straight with this

haha,  even though I don't like eminem anymore, I have to side with Sauron on this one,

I was a big eminem fan,  I LOOOVE eminem show (its even my favorite). I bought his first album the day it came out, and every other one until  encore (when i noticed i had grown out of him.) I have been listening to hip hop since 1985 (when i was 5 years old) and i'm yet to meet one person on this earth that has listened to more hip hop than me. I know that sounds like a ridiculous claim but i'm dead serious. To suggest that anyone that likes the eminem show doesn't have a clue is just the height of arrogance. Music is all about personal preferences,  and one man's food is another man's poison. Hip-Hop fans have a habit of thinking their tastes dictate what is "real hip hop",  i've even heard people born in the nineties talking about what "real hip hop is",  its just preposterous.

As far as eminem using repetition and non existent words to rhyme, almost everyone does it (It is tempting to say this shows you don't have a clue about rap music, but i know that is not the case. you probably just didn't think it through before posting),    Have u ever listened to Lil wayne? he makes up his own words on almost every song.  Jay Z does it , "I'm not a business man, i'm a business, mehn. so stay out of my business damn".

I wouldn't touch a rick ross album with a ten foot pole, i wouldn't even touch a lil wayne album either,   but when i listen to them i appreciate what they do, even if it does not appeal to me (its hard to take all these guys seriously when i've overdosed on guys like MOP, scarface, Raekwon and other real gutter rappers that talk street sh!t), but u will never hear me suggest they are wack or useless or shit like that. I know it is just probably because i'm a lil older and have a lot more in my archives to compare it with,  than say someone who got into hip hop in the late nineties or even 2000s. Anyone who ridicules other people's taste in music because they don't agree with his does not have a clue what ART really is all about.

In my opinion eminem is still one of the greats,  some of the stuff he does on this new album is just mind-blowing,  but i think some of the songs are also lame,  but that is just my opinion, and whether or not you agree you're just going to have to respect it. But no one is an authority on this subject so this debate isn't really going anywhere.  i've been arguing with my friends about what "real" hip hop is for years and we have never agreed, and i know they are hip hop junkies as well. people just like different sh!t and there is no straight forward logical explanation for that.

I know people that LOVE souljah boy, and I've known them long enough to know that they have a mature knowledge of hip hop and would never suggest they are ignorant. You just have to learn to respect other people's tastes.

Eminem has always stuck to the formula,  so it isn't exactly front page news,  while i agree that he needs to evolve, i also know this , "if it ain't broke don't try to fix it"

He does not have to evolve. His formula works magic.
Jay-Z, Nas, Canibus, Kanye all tried and they all evolved into the abyss.
How relevant is any Nas tracks these days or Jigga's American Gangstar??

@ Krayola
There is a standard and i know what real Hip Hop is, If you're confused 'coz ur friends won't agree with you,read Saul Williams' "Open Letter to Oprah Winfrey"

@ Topic

Yet to cop the album so i can't say nothing
