Eminem seems to be flowing for fun on this, showcasing some of the best examples of polysyllabic acrobatics in recent times – but the song content is very average: he’s just trying to chat up some girl, as if being a hip hop megastar doesn’t equate to pussy. Khalil’s production is average at best, saved from complete inadequacy by the warm strings rising up in the hook.
#Eminem recovery album bonus track full#
Okay, so Eminem seems to go full circle on this track: “I feel like I’m morphing/ into something that’s so incredible that I’m dwarfing/ all competitors” – definitely changed his tune. Key Phrases: “Face my demons”, “Hold my ground”, “I feel like the king of my world” At least he’s cheered up a bit AND as the debut single from the album, refreshing to see Em not reverting to the ol’ comedy single route. He’s not afraid to take a stand and to lead people through “the storm” like a peroxide Jesus, apparently. Operatic backdrop, emotive delivery, so-so lyrics. Key phrases: “Inside I’m dying”, “I need help”, “All time low/ I sit at home in my home theatre”ĭecidedly average track. Leave me alone! No wait, buy this album about how I want you to leave me alone!” Okay, Marshall. “Can’t everyone just give me time? I’m going through a lot of stuff, you know? It’s hard. Uh-oh… As I feared, Eminem reverts back into Emo-nem. Going Through Changes (produced by DJ Khalil) Key phrases: “you’re addicted/ I’m dope”, “Gasoline”, “Lit match” Oh wait, Pink isn’t just mixed badly – she just sounds so average on the hook that my brain apparently turned her mic down. Eminem comes with a highly aggressive flow and spits venom as you’d expect in a song called “Won’t Back Down”. Her voice barely registers in the intro, but perhaps that’ll change in the final mix. Won’t Back Down (featuring Pink) (produced by DJ Khalil)Īh the much commented-upon Pink collaboration. Key phrases: “sulphuric acid”, “Ironman”, “This ain’t a song it’s a warning” Perhaps there is hope for this album after all. Doesn’t say anything new but when Eminem hits his stride he doesn’t have to. The chorus is dog shit (which Eminem acknowledges mid-song), but Em comes hard spitting verses with venom we haven’t heard from him since the olden days. Key phrases: “hit the bottom”, “I let them down”, “I’m all alone” Name checks Lil’ Wayne and Kanye West as people that he wrote diss songs for, but said he would “have got killed” by them. Stellar production as always from Khalil and a proficient chorus from newbie Kobe, but Eminem seems determined to stick to this “my life sucks” mantra. Talkin’ To Myself (featuring Kobe) (produced by DJ Khalil)Įminem goes emo – again. Key phrases: something about piss and Mariah Carey. Surely if you hate it so much you should just quit instead of raping everyone for their cash while you moan about having too much.Oh that’s just the intro… The rest is just Marshall flowing quite nicely about stuff we’ve heard him rap about a million times before. Yet another track about how you hate fame. Here’s my track by track take on the just-leaked Eminem album “Recovery” (in stores June 18th): Eagerly awaited by fanboys and naysayers alike.
