The beat sounds like the looped background music you'll hear while visiting a boring website, and the skills? Who'd know Em HAD skills to hear this garbage? The songs is an embarrassment, and wouldn't excite controversy if broadcast on the Disney Channel. But the single? These are chosen in order to represent the more palatable aspects of an unreleased album, and "Just Lose It" could not possibly be any worse. Politics is tackled with that loveable hip-hop naivete, making sure to say nothing that isn't painfully obvious and not even attempting to convert Bush supporters. It's just hideous, and the rest of the songs on the album are a bit like his other albums if those albums were worse. But the single? These are chosen in order to represent the more "Just Lose It" is hideous. Don't believe me that Em's lyrics on this album are weak, take a look for yourself: BRAIN DAMAGE (Slim Shady LP) These are the results of a thousand electric volts A neck with bolts, "Nurse we're losin him, check the pulse!" A kid who refused to respect adults Wore spectacles with taped frames and a freckled nose A corny lookin white boy, scrawny and always ornery Cause I was always sick of brawny bullies pickin on me And I might snap, one day just like that I decided to strike back and flatten every tire on the bike rack (Whosssssh) My first day in junior high, this kid said, "It's you and I, three o'clock sharp this afternoon you die" I looked at my watch it was one twenty "I already gave you my lunch money what more do you want from me?!?" He said, "Don't try to run from me, you'll just make it worse." My palms were sweaty, and I started to shake at first Something told me, "Try to fake a stomach ache it works" I screamed, "OAnd just for that stunt, you're gonna get some extra homework." "But don't you wanna give me after school detention?" "Nah, that bully wants to beat your ass and I'ma let him." BIG WEENIE (Encore) Alright listen, I need you to focus I need you to go dig deep in your mind, this is important We are going to perform an experiment of the sorts I'm going to have to ask you to bear with me for a moment Now I need you to open your mind-your eyes close them You are now about to be placed under my hypnosis For the next four and a half minutes We are going to explore into your mind To find out why you're so fuckin' jealous Now why did they make Yoo-Hoo? Hippity ga-ga boo-boo Psych, I'm kidding I just wanted to see if you're still listenin' Ok, now I need your undivided attention Sir I have a question Why do I always sense this undeniable tension From the moment that I enter into the room It gets all quiet and whispers Whenever theres conversation, why am I always mentioned? I've been dying to ask, it's been itchin' at me Is it just because If you can honestly tell me that the Encore lyrics are as good as the Slim Shady LP lyrics, you do not deserve to listen to hip-hop. All the recent CD's After math has released have been garbage except Game's CD. Its sad, but I think the 3 bonus tracks are the only good part of this album. I listened to this crap only once and have not listened to it again. Its a shame that one of the best lyricists of our time puts out crap like this and hurts his legacy.
Lyrical content and effort sound as if they were written by a 4th grader. Its sad, but I think the 3 bonus tracks are the Wow, what was so good went so wrong. Em doesn't kill like he did on previous albums, but he set himself a high bar to stay consistent upon of course, it didn't help that he was on drugs. **** the 'Just Lose It' video was so funny, and if you were offended, get hard. After all, you are allowed to have fun and serious tracks on a record. This record is certainly not a classic, but its material is great, even though it does vary. The album has some really trash tracks, but they do not make up the majority of the album and the other tracks make up for them.
**** the Although not his greatest album, I find that Encore is severely underrated and overhated.
