2504474, So can I exit this post
Posted by lakai336, Sat Feb-12-11 06:57 PM
for not caring about Eminem pre Slim Shady or post Eminem Show?
2504484, sure buddy
Posted by MarVeL, Sat Feb-12-11 07:27 PM
This is just a personal favorite song of mine and I thought since there are most likely people here who haven't heard it, I'd give them the opportunity to.

Also if anyone else has links to share I'm really only familiar with the infinite album and the song off lyricists lounge 2.
2504568, that was unnecessarily rude on my part

2504714, lol it's cool that lesson hate-mode can be difficult

to snap out of sometimes.
2504507, I wish Eminem rapped over more shit like this....
Posted by Dr Claw, Sat Feb-12-11 08:18 PM
this sounds like Detroit.
like hearing Em over some Black Milk or even DJ Khalil shit would be ill.

2504532, I would pay ALOT of money to see him perform this song.
Posted by MarVeL, Sat Feb-12-11 10:27 PM


& yeah you're right. that would be dope to hear him on some black milk.

"It's OK" is a nice song. That album is amazing but....SEARCHING is my favorite Eminem song of all time I think...yes,it is!

2504581, RE: Sounds like some 1996 greatness to me.
Posted by Austin, Sun Feb-13-11 01:25 AM
Seriously, what year is this from?

I actually really like this.

Yes, this is my first time hearing it.

2504678, I believe 96 is correct.

2504582, Here's some Em pre Infinite era....
Posted by The Wordsmith, Sun Feb-13-11 01:31 AM
...like early 90s Em:


Unrealistically Graphic

Poo Butt

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iz7ka4sIBHA&feature=related


Both are featuring Kid Chaos. Kinda makes me think of KMD.


EDIT: Here's another early 90s Em joint:


Artificial Flavour

Since 1976

2504592, Am I wildin....
Posted by Dstl1, Sun Feb-13-11 02:12 AM
or does anyone else think he sounds a tiny bit like AZ?
2504598, You're right
Posted by Zarathuckya, Sun Feb-13-11 02:36 AM
I was thinking Pharoahe but AZ is more accurate
2504599, especially the 2nd verse...
Posted by Dstl1, Sun Feb-13-11 02:37 AM
i had to look up at the screen right quick like "who is this again?"
2504677, I was thinking Pharoahe too
Posted by zuma1986, Sun Feb-13-11 11:30 AM
I've always heard the Nas/AZ comparison for his early stuff but kinda only the AZ but never the Nas (I see it later in his career)
2504674, em's talked abt that in interviews.
Posted by dula dos pistolas, Sun Feb-13-11 11:27 AM
in 95/96 he was a really big nas/AZ fan, and consciously imitated their style.

same way all of nas's early demos sound exactly like g rap.

it takes time to find your own voice, even for the great ones.
2504691, Was gonna say that.
Posted by Musa, Sun Feb-13-11 11:56 AM

2504780, cool...
Posted by Dstl1, Sun Feb-13-11 04:06 PM
and while I've never heard that, for some reason I thought I remembered where he said he owed a lot of credit for his style to Masta Ase.
2504816, He sound EXACTLY like him flow wise
