EMINEM WEEK#12 - INFINITE - MY FAV OLD EM TRACK SO FAR

[@alexlee6995]

Gotta listen to "Rock Bottom"! Edit: just learned that the same day eminem made "Rock Bottom" he attempted suicide. Lots of emotion put into that song...

[@saharawalker500]

In the LL interview he said he wasnt trying to off himself but that he took a bunch of pills and said fuck it. I think it was one of those things where he was like "if I die, i die, and if i don't that's fine too"

[@redrum41987]

There's a demo version recording of Rock Bottom, you can hear the pain in his voice. He rerecorded the vocals for SSLP.

That's false; Eminem got second place at the Rap Olympics, an intern for Interscope asked Eminem for a tape, that same intern later told Jimmy Iovine about it (head of Interscope Records), then Jimmy took the tape home with him, and when Dre visited he heard the Slim Shady EP and reached out to Eminem as a result.

[@mikethoughts9677]

Man this track brought a smile to my face. Memories of the 90’s and just the best era of rap in general. Not just EM making a mark but a time capsule of how rap (hip hop) had a certain pleasing (hypnotizing) flow as Stevie says. Man I miss this style.

[@lastwaxbender]

It's on YT Music, Amazon Music but not sure about Spotify. There's access to it but I feel like it could definitely do with a re-release or just a promo from Em to introduce it to the younger fans and breathe some life back into it. So I agree 100%

Like "tion" contamination, examination, animation, lamination, narration, interrogation, invasion, gazin (with the same sound). Straight fire

[@kristin9905]

I know u made this video a couple yrs ago but Mr. Porter produced this whole album w/Em by going into studios wherever they could & saving their $ to buy studio time but Mr. Porter has a video on KZbin not too long ago where he was talking to Marvwon & he said that for Infinite he told Em to try & slow his flow down just a little & this is what they came up with it’s crazy

I’ve been a fan of Em for over 20 years but this song has become my favorite for unknown reason, the beat, the flow, the meaning and the way he rapped, I feel like he had nothing to lose, he lives for this thing, I feel like his fire, his ambition and soul are all in this track, I feel like this is the one true song that is so so Em.

The feels that this beat gives is just so unreal, plus his rapping is so immaculate and smooth.

It's so cool that it's called 'Infinite' too, because of how nostalgic it is and here we are listening to it almost 3 decades later and it takes us back to that time. This was Eminem doing hip-hop during that golden age, before he really had his own style. One of my favorite Em songs for that reason too.
