You people are so picky.



If you complained about beats in rap 15 years ago, people would have just laughed at you and said you are clueless. Why are you judging hip hop ( all about Lyrics) with pop-rap criteria ("Koop beats dood!")?



The lyricism on here is some of his best ever (quite possibly his best), and he is one of the best lyricists ever. If you don't like it to listen to Miley Cyrus and kanye, we don't need an explanation on how you don't enjoy this because the beats don't go



Deedooo leeeeeedle leeeeedle



Like you wish. This is about serious poetry, its about lyrics not the idiot playing the bongos in the background. disgusted to see one of the best hip hop albums in at least a year to be recieved like this by people who don't even know what to listen for because they hardly listen to hip hop. ( ps Miley Cyrus is NOT hip hop, and either is Kanye)

Honestly if you are "losing attention" to the lyrics you just aren't listening right and Arent in a position to accurately judge

this... Not even close.



It's like someone hands you a book of poetry, suggestS you listen to a instrmental song with each poem, you then skim

through the entire book and throw it back in their face complaining about the instrumentals they chose....



Do you fools listen to music?

Or do you just skim through it?



Eminem was NEVER poppy or immediately accessible prior to encore. You really think he got a buzz with My Name Is for

the BEATS? Sorry but you are talking straight nonsense right now, please give this another spin, focus on the lyrics, and

stop being so picky when artists aren't even trying to fulfill your random aubjective criteria of what makes good music.

Honestly feel really bad for people not enjoying this, hip hop really is dead in the mainstream, to hip hop heads though, this is fucking gold.

The lyricism on here is some of his best ever (quite possibly his best)
