so i just revisited Relapse today, and i seriously think that it's an underrated gem, i actually like it more than MMLP.
Em is switching between crazy flows over Dr. Dre beats, talking about rape, serial killers and overcoming his drug addiction.
don't get me wrong, it's far from a perfect album.. it's flawed, and really really weird. actually, it's so underground that i can't believe it went double platinum and even won a grammy.
i think that's the album Em really wanted to make, but the bad reception made him say "fuck it" and just go full sellout mode.
