A 5 year absence, a pro longed drug problem with prescription drugs due to the untimely death of his best friend DeShaun “Proof” Holton. Marshall Mathers III has left rehab and returned to the studio to finished his long awaited 4th studio album.

With the master mind Dr. Dre behind him Eminem’s “Replase” is not an over produced under delivered album. It is a lyrical master piece with the obvious Eminem & Dre twist.

His entire career, Eminem has been dogged as the ‘king of controversy’, and Slim shady does it again. This album is full of his usually tactics of celebrity humiliation, self degradation and what some people say as the most disturbing imagination in poplar entertainment.

“Relapse” has few cameos other then Dr. Dre and 50 Cent “Crack a Bottle” the album highlights this lyrical masterminds skills. Being able to use his multitude of voices, ranges beats and tempo changes to create a highly enjoyable and free flowing album. However ironically the track titled “Same song Same Dance” awakens to the fact that once you perform the same trick countless of times the sense of surprise slowly dissipates. This is shown in the ending of the album where Eminem plays an old man in rehab trying to sing another x-rated song where he ends up abandoned.

Even though the countless misogynistic and homophobic references that pepper this album are no longer shocking, they are part and parcel of Eminem’s self proclaimed image. It still does not take anything away from his ability, which if anything has gotten sharper. His delivery and depth has improved and shows in tracks like “Medicine Ball” and “Stay wide Awake”. Which sound like theme songs from teen slasher movies?

All in all “Relapse” does what was made to do. Delivering well produced beats to frame his formidable skills as a rapper whilst creating controversy, and plenty of it.
