After the album dropped, a majority of listeners came away with a sense of disappointment. From questionable vocals, underwhelming singles, and a disappointing tracklist, the odds were not in Revival’ s favor. Eminem and the word flop had never come together prior to this 2017 album. Bonus Track 3: “Chloraseptic Remix (Featuring 2 Chainz and Phresher)” Non-Album Single, 2018 It’s painfully honest and provides insight into what happened to Marshall during his hiatus. Wallowing within himself, Eminem opens up and allows the listener to understand that his wife was arguing with him because she discovered Vicodin in his pants pockets. As if aware of the dark period he is in/was in (depending on when he wrote the lyrics), Eminem states that his “train is derailing.” The dark tone continues into the second and final verse as he gets more personal about his wife and unable to have a normal relationship for the rest of his life. Eminem dons a morose tone with Jazmine Sullivan’s powerful vocals in the background and on the hook. One of these unfinished songs came in the form of “ Cocaine” featuring Jazmine Sullivan. Many songs during this period found their way onto the internet in finished and unfinished forms. Taking a five-year hiatus, as he coped and fought his demons, Eminem continued to make music. Bonus Track 2: “Cocaine (Featuring Jazmine Sullivan)” Unofficially Released (Leaked), 2010Īfter the release of 2004’s Encore, Eminem began a downward spiral that included his addiction to pills and the death of his best friend, Proof. It’s still a great song and, if you haven’t heard it, I advise you to check it out immediately. Due to this, “Guilty Conscience” finds itself in the Bonus Track area. Eminem has to have more than 50% ownership-with him and Dre sharing time. “Guilty Conscience” doesn’t make the top ten because it does not follow the rule I put in place on Side A. The concept is unique, Em and Dre work well together, and everything meshes as it should. I love this song, the storytelling, and the performances.

I’m going to be honest with you upfront: “Guilty Conscience” should have been in the top ten for me. Bonus Track 1: “Guilty Conscience (Featuring Dr. Each of the following three songs missed the main list but were tracks I wanted to appreciate and talk about briefly. As was done with Side A, preceding the list will be three bonus tracks. As such, I have created a second list, A Perfect 10 by Eminem: Side B, just as Eminem has done with his latest album, Music to be Murdered By. Eminem has resonated so much through life and entertainment that one top ten list is not enough to encapsulate his impact on the world.
