Alright...I don't think the beats are very poppy, just sub-par compared to what he has access to. The hooks, uhh...yeah a bit, some are kinda weak but "The Monster" has a hook that just MEANT for radio, something I can't really say for the hooks on Recovery. I also think his bad punch lines don't imply pop, lol.
To each their own, honestly. But I think sometimes Recovery is shit on for reasons people don't even justify or even remember anymore.
True. One of these days I'm gonna listen through all his solo albums from Infinite to MMLP 2 and fairly judge them all. Oh and also, a lot of it is just a matter of taste because objectively Recovery is a better album than Encore. Subjectively, I like Encore more personally.
