Gonna post this here for any further comments: no this was not my normal 30-40 minute full breakdown. This was a bonus request for a Patreon fan and I wanted to try something a little shorter while mixing in elements of breakdown and picking out more specific parts to discuss. I’ve been told to rest my voice for the next few days so decided to still give you guys content and share something that is normally exclusively on Patreon. Hope you guys still enjoy it 🙌

Relapse is one of the most underrated rap albums of all time

"If I'm crazy enough to think it, I'm crazy enough to say it." - Eminem.

@battoosh 4 years ago

I always "defended" the hate towards the lyrics by basically saying that this is a form of art, think of it this way, if this was a script for a horror movie, it would be praised for how crazy it went.. This is a form of writing, but the ability shown here that blew my mind is sticking to sound throughout the the verses, every verse matches almost entirely line by line, that's brilliant writing skills right there.

@absent72 4 years ago

Definitely slept on that second verse. Em held an 8-12 syllable rhyme pattern through the entire verse while telling that psycho story of his lol. Legendary display of rhyme skill

He wasn't on drugs during relapse he was flushing them out, said he had to relearn to rap again so this was him playing around with the rhymes, and said the accents helped him bend words to fit the rhymes. Relapse is highly underrated, different, but still fire. You should do "must be the ganja" next.

@rossabbas374 4 years ago (edited)

knox, i'm actually surprised you didn't get this! but i don't blame you , Eminem is wild. So, when he says " I'm the the kind of guy that's mild but might flip and get a little bit wilder", it's referring to how when you flip "m" it becomes a "w". so " mild " becomes " Wild" , you get what i mean? it took me a few listens to get that, but you're doing great my brother! all my love homie <3

@bradybimson9106 4 years ago

The thing about this album is that, unlike most em songs, it's not about what he's saying as much as how he says it. He is testing the limits of what subject matter you'll listen to if he rhymes you to death to make it sound good. Really genius

@Abn173rd 4 years ago

This album is so underrated because most people couldn’t keep up. Eminem murdered every track

@chaddon7685 4 years ago

One of the most underrated Em songs. Easily the most technically sound song on the album. Them rhymes are incredible.

@DfsGamerGuru 4 years ago

relapse goes hard while telling great "movie type" stories. pure entertainment!!! the beats and cadence are outstanding!!!
you cant help bopping to ever song almost!!!

@zacharyguthrie1297 4 years ago

"I'm dancing to a different drum beat" was a comment on the bass track just being an actual heartbeat.

My Darling from relapse deserves a reaction too

@QazwerDave 1 year ago (edited)

The accents are needed for some of the rhymes. Gives Em a brand new set of rhymes to play with.

I also loves most of Em's sung hooks !!

@SagnikBakshi0325 4 years ago

This is a classic example of rhyming in a rap song. Young and aspiring rappers should take note from this Em song.
Em just brilliantly showcased the use of internal rhymes, external rhymes and the holorimes. His extraordinary writing takes the song to a whole another level.
And the meta references used in this song was just outstanding.
One of the best songs of Em and one of my all favorites.

If you’re a Stan like myself you have listened to relapse over and I see again brother

@Dezzyyx 4 years ago (edited)

Fun facts: He used the accents as a way to come around his struggle to write the same after his addiction, it made it easier for him to come up with words and rhymes, and this already started around Encore which you can hear in that album as well. It's like a freestyle-flow.

The whole concept of this album is also a metaphor for his own demons, a way to process his darkness (addiction) through Shady and move on to Recovery.

@kevinbalfe 4 years ago

Fun Fact: This is one of Tyler, The Creator's favourite Eminem track.

@miketaylor1824 4 years ago

One of the best flow tracks em ever did. I love the. accents. These morons complaining about this album robbed us from a new genre of horricore rap. This is Detroit rap mixed with horror. Casual listeners didn't appreciate it.

@whereisawesomeness 1 year ago

Minor correction for 3:27, you call that one line iambic pentameter. The line, for those who don’t feel like listening, is “I enter Central Park it’s dark it’s winter in December”. You’re right that it’s iambic (unstressed syllable followed by stressed syllable), but the line is 15 syllables long, making it iambic octameter catalectic (meaning there are eight iambs but the eighth is incomplete)
