- Catchy
- Deeply Emotional
- Fascinating from a poet's standpoint in how he pushes the boundaries of rigid-structure rap and enters the realm of an actual artist painting words and such.
- Hilarious at points with the metaphors.
Having the worst opening song defaults the entire album to be the absolute worst album of all the albums regardless of all other criteria of measuring how great and successful that an album was.
Pro says that 'it is blatantly not even rap just from listening to it'.
Evil Deeds is rap even if Pro says it's blatantly not rap at all. Evil Deeds is lyrical even if Pro says it isn't.
Evil Deeds is possibly one of the greatest tracks of Eminem of all time. In my eyes it's in his top 10.
That's literally enough to show how lyrical the apparently dumb bars of Evil Deeds were.
Mosh took on George Bush and really was a high-risk high-reward song
The thing is that the album following Encore pretty much did suck and received even more hate than Encore did from both Stans and non-hardcore fans. It only seemed to attract people who didn't like Eminem.
The entire album was the first time Eminem ever tried to not be a yell-in-the-mic furious type of rapper and everyone's crying about it. Shut up, seriously. Let a guy show his emotional side......Until Encore, he was basically just a 'I'm the best fuck all of you RAAAAR I'm so angry!!!!!!!!!' who still was good at rap but had a shit attitude.
I think the best part about Encore vs all other Eminem albums is that there isn't a single song in it that isn't all three of the following:
- Catchy
- Deeply Emotional
- Fascinating from a poet's standpoint in how he pushes the boundaries of rigid-structure rap and enters the realm of an actual artist painting words and such.
- Hilarious at points with the metaphors.
1.) Pro offers no comparison of the whole album vs all Eminems other albums, aside from the opening track argument - pro offers no objective reason why the whole album sucks compared to the others - and merely presents some subjective assertions to argue its bad. Cons counter argument in round 2, presented just as subjective a reason as to why encore was a good album that actually appeared coherent.
2.) pro won this in round 2 by providing a genuine breakdown of why Evil deeds was good, and breaks down the album - this casts enough doubt on the claim that it is the worst to clearly meet pros burden and win arguments.
Arguments to con.
Conduct:
Pro:
“I am going to slap your labial pussy lips until you agree.”
“Yes and according to you Nicki Minaj, Hopsin and Chris Webby are better rappers than Eminem so we know what your opinion is worth.”
“RM wrote this which he can testify to if he is not an insanely dishonest prick.”
Pro is rude, profane, and disrespectful throughout. Con was not. There is no place for this behaviour here.
Conduct to con.
I said 3 but meant 4 things
"isn't all four of the following"
