I’m changing my stance on Encore. After a few listens, I was able to almost completely tune out the vulgar sounds and only listen to the music. I like it now. But now that I think about it, I didn’t like the Eminem Show on the first listen, because it was in fact different than the MM LP. And I’m pretty sure Eminem went and changed a lot of the album after it leaked over a year ago. There are 19 songs on the album, and it’s not like the Beatles where every song on every album is gonna be great; there’s always gonna be a crappy track or 2. Man, I wish I had Dre making me beats. I’d be awesome.

What I’m listening to: Eminem – Encore – We As Americans
