Best Album Opening (Poll)

[Snakebeast]

Kill you
White America
Bad guy
My name is
Evil deeds
3am
Cold wind blows

Those who voted bad guy would you have minus the epic 4th verse ?
I was a little underwhelmed the first time I stuck on the mmlp2 and bad guy played thru the first verses until the part "it's just me you and the music now slim" (epic nostalgia kicked in)
Obviously the concept makes the song much better but for the opening for first time listening pritty Meh up until the epic parts

Evil deeds above 3am and CWB ... AAAIIIIGHT

Y Not I like the darkness, the real concept of the track and the beat I know 3am is dark but it ain't real it's just some serial killing fantasy track
Evil deeds is pritty deep
the shits real

Are you serious

[Im-Shady]

[Im-Shady]

"Why do I go through so much bullshit, it's such bullshit, it's tush mull bisch
woe is me"
yeah ....... real deep

And the rest
It's about his fucked up childhood a lot of it I feel is pritty deep if its not then I dunno what is go have another listen instead of jumping on the bandwagon and pickin bad lines wich most of his more recent songs have

Suck a dick, the day you beat me pigs'll fly out my ass
In a flying saucer full of Italian sausage (this sounds gay to me anything with sausage in or out of ass sounds gay)

You now gona hate on legacy

My god, you're stupid.

"It has sausage and ass in the line so its gay I don't know anything about it or what context its in but its gay and gay is bad"

[Brainless BadGuy]

Not at all. Legacy >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Evil Deeds

Evil Deeds is just a song I've never liked because it just seems like the first one where you realise he's completely ran out of things to talk about.
We know he doesn't know his dad
We know he despised his mom around this point
We know he's "sold his soul to the devil"

This song is just a cry out for help IMO. Basically just Em saying he doesn't know where to go with his career anymore which COULD have been heartfelt but he made the song in such a way that it's just uninteresting and repetitive. He even says himself "there goes poor marshall again whining about his millions.........."

Just my opinion and I respect yours

[Adishor91]

How is My Name Is not the best album opener? Just think about it. Eminem first major album and My Name Is the first song from him for the listeners.

Hi kids! Do you like violence?
Wanna see me stick Nine Inch Nails through each one of my eyelids?
Wanna copy me and do exactly like I did?
Try 'cid and get fucked up worse that my life is?

[Brainless BadGuy]

"Evil Deeds" is the perfect opening for an album like Encore though, it does set an extremely uncomfortable and depressing tone like the album was probably intending to be like.

Yeah I suppose your right. The whole tone of Encore is somehow really ominous, obviously due to the mindset that he was in when making it but with all those silly immature tracks it's strange.
Even the pale blue curtains on the front cover feel so cold and ominous compared to The Eminem Show

Are you stupid ???
Not only is it bad it's fucking disgusting

You do realize this is 2013, right? Blatant homophobia aside, do you even understand the point of that line?

Please excuse the mistake about the year. Still getting used to it being 2014, tbh. Then again, either way, the point of that sentence flew over your head completely.

I also find it hilarious how you posted a long paragraph about you weren't homophobic at all, then deleted it like a spineless pussy after you figured out that there was no way you could convince ANYBODY that you weren't

On topic: you want to know why Evil Deeds is shit?

Okay.

First off: the hook. Eminem has never been good at singing, and most likely never will. However, on some occasions, he can at least sound okay (Rhyme Or Reason, Mockingbird, Beautiful). In the case of Evil Deeds, however, he uses this EXTREMELY high pitched voice which grates on your ears like nails on a chalkboard.

Secondly: The lyrics.

Head popped off, head popped off, head popped off, head popped off)
My momma don't want me the next thing I know I'm gettin' dropped off
(gettin' dropped off, gettin' dropped off, gettin' dropped off, gettin' dropped off)
Ring ring ring on the door bell and the next door neighbors on their front porch
(their front porch, their front porch, their front porch, their front porch)
But they didn't want me neither so they left me on someone else's lawn
(else's lawn, else's lawn, else's lawn) 'til somebody finally took me in
My Great Aunt and Uncle, Edna 'n Charles (Edna 'n Charles
Edna 'n Charles, Edna 'n Charles, Edna 'n Charles)

You're telling me this isn't shit? I don't care about the concept (which wasn't that great to begin with), it's executed HORRIBLY.

I deleted it as there was no need in it just a pointless rant I'm glad you seen it tho
And who would I need to convince surely not someone who can't tell what year it is you complete arse bandit
Away and take your face for a shite

And we go from run-on sentences to incoherent rambling about "arse bandits" and "take your face for a shite"

I also see how you completely ignored all arguments in favour of insults. Good to know the level of intelligence I'm working with here.

[Excita]

i would say Dr. West or Slim Shady EP's intro, but if it has to be a song then it's going to be Low Down, Dirty !
