He needs to rap over some DJ Premier and Jay Dee beats.
Yeah... kinda makes me wish MMLP2 was all an old school homage...
Because it's kind of weird how there's modern rap-rock... old scratches... a trance beat... it kind of works as an ecclectic mix but it's also like they couldn't truly decide which direction to go in so just kind of did a bit of everything.
But an entire old school hip-hop homage / sounding album for MMLP2 would have made so much sense, because he would by definition be creating nostalgia for the listener, just with the sounds / production right off the bat, so that would immediately put you in a state of 'think back to... ' then he could slip in all the references etc.
And just as a metaphor - that sound for the sequel / nostalgia... makes so much sense.
I don't know if an old school album would have helped recapture the nostalgia the way that MMLP2 was intended to, though. This song doesn't give me nostalgia the way a song like, say, So Much Better or Evil Twin does, as far as his attitude. But then again, I didn't grow up listening to the album when it came out like you did, so what do I know.
I just want an old school album because I love old school beats, especially the early 90s East Coast shit, like this. If I ever have a hard time listening to old school rap, it's because the vocals sound fuzzy and just awful. But with Eminem's voice this clear, mastered in 2013, with a gritty old school bass-heavy beat...it just sounds awesome, and I'd love to hear Em do something like this.
Yeah but I don't mean for him to rap in an old-school style...
I just mean have that musical backbone - the scratches; bouncier, old-school, funkier beats and ocassional samples, to create that soundscape / world...
But then his attitude / raps would be MMLP-esque, thrilling, dramatic etc. no difference.
