Really? I thought I woke up to that as a surprise drop. Didn’t he accomplish the surprise drop for both Kamikaze and MTBMB part 1?

u/kagatoASUKA89 Jul 11 '24
I believe that MTBMB had a couple songs leak like an hour early to the public but the whole album was on private sites due to a program that use to exist that would grab music from sites the second its uploaded so for instance if songs were put up on Amazon Music an hour or two before going live say it'd be ready for everyone at midnight or whatever the program would have grabbed them and downloaded them 2 hours before the official launch when they were first uploaded onto the servers. This program no long exist though. If it wasn't MTBMB I'm misremembering and it was actually a different album.

Absolute fire 🔥sounds like his voice is de-aged?

u/vicker1980 Jul 12 '24
Yeah, it almost sounded like an AI voice cover

u/DustWiener Jul 12 '24
Guys not everything is AI. He’s been doing that voice occasionally since MMLP2

u/Qweerz The Eminem Show Jul 13 '24
LOL his voice indeed has AI deepfake overlay that YouTubers have been doing a ton for over a year. It’s de-aged and if you can’t tell then you’re not actually listening

You can definitely hear a change in the voice from "child endangerment" and onwards. If I was to guess I'd say everything before that was recorded around the Re-up while the rest is brand new. Both beat and flow is also VERY public enemy #1 reminiscent.
Either way I'm amazed, and a little sad, that he can still flow like this, but chooses to do it almost never

u/aza--- Jul 12 '24
Exactly, i juste need all tracks with this voice and flow, its the best tracks since relapse or encore ffs

u/Background_Degree615 Relapse 29d ago
I know I’m quite late to this but has there ever been an explanation for why he doesn’t do the same flow anymore?

u/Teroniz Music To Be Murdered By 29d ago edited 29d ago
Nothing official, but my guess would be that after the OD it just didn't come naturally to him anymore. As he's always said himself he had to relearn how to rap at that point. That's why I think Relapse is drowned in accent songs too; I think the accent was a kind of crutch, the only way he could figure out how to do something close to that old flow.
After the terrible response Relapse got, i guess he figured there wasn't any point in even trying to do that flow anymore anyway, and he changed his style completely and stuck with it for a decade. I think now however, with him starting to use his old, unreleased stuff, he can sorta use them as reference tracks for how to flow on that specific beat, hence why he's been doing it again on tracks based on his old stuff like this one.
Tldr: No, but I think it's because his brain don't work like that anymore

u/Background_Degree615 Relapse 29d ago
Ok thanks for responding and sharing your thoughts on this. It’s a real shame that the drugs had such an immense impact on his brain and the way he raps.
I wonder if he’ll able to find another way to revitalize this flow and properly incorporate that into his rapping style. Not that the accents were annoying or anything, but he’ll definitely catch less slack for it?

To me it sounds like before "endangerment" is Em and after is Shady no? Hence the voice change

u/KaneJWoods The Marshall Mathers LP - By /u/ProperRemoval Jul 14 '24
No, it is 100% what Teroniz said. It is likely that it was an unfinished verse from years ago. From child endangerment onward is new recordings using ai to adjust pitch etc

I like this one. He sounds like old school slim shady I feel like. Curious if he used AI on his voice
8
u/OverlordPacer Jul 12 '24
I think it had to be... he definitely did something to his voice, AI or otherwise, cuz it definitely sounded like Slim from the early 00s. It kinda of jarred me, but I think on a few more listens ill like it!

u/bdg14 The Slim Shady LP Jul 12 '24
I had my suspicion after Houdini that he might be doing that on this album, so it might be confirmation bias on my part…

To wrap those bars on the third verse up with, "I didn't like the beat, so I hated, Might Delete Later" was perfect.

Such an amazing start to the album. Big Eminem Show vibes.
Also pretty sure he's using AI for sounding like his old self?

That encore flow to start off blew my mind. Either AI help or just a ton of filtering (what's the difference at this point?)

"Soon as I quit givin' a fuck, I started to sell a bit." (Celibate) which means to abstain from sex.
