Album Rating: 4.0

From the perspective of traditional poetic theory, almost the entire song, excluding the chorus, can be described as being written in anapestic tetrameter. However, though this poetic label accurately describes the short-short-long pattern that dominates Eminem's flow in this song, it fails to capture the musical rhythm of his delivery, which in Rap is more significant. Eminem delivers his short-short-long "anapestic" rhythm in a highly syncopated manner which is completely off the beat: he rests on the beat itself, 1,2,3,4, and delivers his words on the other 16th notes (e & a), accenting the last 16th note, the same place where the kick drum hits. This highly syncopated rhythm gives this piece much of its dramatic tension and is identical to the rhythm of the piano accompaniment. The chorus adapts lines from the song "As the Rhyme Goes On" from Eric B. and Rakim's debut album Paid in Full in which Rakim raps, "I'm the R, the A, to the K, I M--if I wasn't, then why would I say I am?" - Rakim would later be signed to Aftermath, but left before releasing an album.



Fuckin genius

Which song is that?



Gotta say this is sounding much better on second listen. When he does it well I don't think there's a rapper with a better flow. Been listening to Without Me all day

"Which song is that?"

The Way I am

"Been listening to Without Me all day"

Unless you mean Eminem's discog altogether, think you're confused
that song is from The Eminem Show

Some of the rhythms this guy crafts, I don't even know how he'd start off making them.





Anyway, why is it Encore and Relapse apparently suck?

Album Rating: 2.5

It's stagnant, not a fan of the production, overly long album, he does pretty much the same act over and over. This shtick, while rules in first few albums, gets tiring after we're done listening to the Em show.



Recovery had a departure from his usually antics, but he instead replaced it with more personal lyrics and more pop-rap tendencies. But I can't stand his flow/vocals in the new albums for whatever reason.

Album Rating: 4.0

What I find interesting is that he openly criticises those albums and admits they weren't that great. Not many musicians are big enough to do that

Oh Sweet u raised ur rating..fish,u rule bro!

The lyrical creativity from SS,MM and ES disappeared almost completely. On his latter albums it seemed
his lyrical content revolved around fart and dick jokes; the kind that made you laugh in jr high but
weren't funny when you grew up. And yeah, he did that on his old records too but he had creative,
lyrical dynamic to the way he construed the song. Old records didn't contain whole songs about a
shitty, unfunny joke. They had purpose to them. The vicious, ingenuity just isn't really there anymore.

Both statements are so true. It's a shame. Still one of my fav albums of all time, really
