Somethin' strange in relapse...

[ShadyDevil]

Am I the only one who noticed that Beautiful and Be Careful What you Wish For do not "match" with the rest of the album?
Yesterday I put the whole cd to play and when I heard these 2 songs they were a little bit irrelevant to the rest of the album. Even his voice is unique in these two.
Why that????

(keep in mind that, at least for me, they are the best on the cd.)

I've explained this too many times, and honestly, I don't feel like doing it again...but I'll do it

If you're just looking at content and the beat, then yes, Beautiful doesn't fit at all (CWYWF was made in the King Mathers period, I think. He started to write Beautiful in rehab, then finished when he got out). But, if you're like me and look at Relapse as if it were telling a story and not just a collection of songs, then Beautiful fits quite well. Has no one else but me honestly noticed that during Must Be The Ganja, he STARTS to lose the accent? The songs take a different turn after MBTG, and in Deja Vu the content is completely different and his voice is nasily like in the SSLP days. Deja Vu is where he starts to realize that being an addict isn't healthy and it's affecting not only him, but his family. Then in Beautiful, he raps completely normal and this is basically where he says "fuck 'em, who cares what they think?". In Crack A Bottle, he raps completely normal, and it's a celebratory track after Beautiful. Then Underground he raps normal

Am I really the only one who notices all this?

There's a couple songs where the accent is very, very toned down. Insane and My Mom's verses both have very little actual accent, though the hook for My Mom has accent.
