Nah I find it badass.
I don't ever listen to the Re-Up, but I like Em on it.
The title track - he sounds like he does now, in terms of... shouting and aimless anger.
It's kind of like he made the transition from super angry shouting to Relapse, then when people didn't like it, went back to super angry shouting but, even more angry, all the time, lmao.
It's always exaggerated how bad his lyricism was there too and in like 2005-2006 when, if you listen to his "There They Go" verse for example, it's fucking nice.
You can definitely tell he was lazy and high and jealous etc. on it (Re-Up album) but, it's also kind of fascinating to have an artist in such an extreme space and mind-state FOR REAL (as in, he really was angry and bitter and drugged, it wasn't just a character) / and in melt-down, on record.
So I view it all from an outside perspective as just, interesting. It's interesting to have different periods of his life, highs and lows, good and bad, crazy, funny, political etc. on record.
