It is a good mix of 80s music and modern rap music.

The song also has some motivational lyrics such as believing in yourself and never giving up in life.
On top of that, the song has a good combination of drum beats and a good guitar riff.
Eminem’s new album is a better choice of rap music compared to other rap music in the market today.
The album features some really good song writing and rap skills by Eminem.
It also has some strong beats and good piano chords. The album has some good mixes.
“Crack a Bottle” is a club song , “We Made You” is a comedy song, while “3 A.M.,” “Beautiful” and “Must Be the Ganja” are based on his personal experience.
It is different compare to other rap music in the market.
For instance, Flo Rida’s album “R.O.O.T.S” only has music that relates to partying all night long, sex, women and alcohol.
Not only that, most of the rap songs are not genuine, just copying or using beats from previous hit songs.
A good example is Flo Rida’s “Right Round.” The whole song is exactly the same as the main beat from Dead or Alive’s “You Spin Me Round (Like A Record).”
If you are an avid listener of rap music, then Eminem’s latest album “Relapse” will be a good choice.
It will definitely give you a better quality of rap music compared to rap in the industry today.
