Eminem's "Recovery"

So last night driving home I turned on the radio to hear Eminem's new song from his Recovery album titled "Not Afraid." You gotta hand it to him... he even makes fun of his Relapse album, so at least he can laugh at himself.

For me though, I feel he for some reason can't get back to his old, hard-core angst stuff with dirty rhymes and rhythms.... I feel his beats are hopping on the typical Akon pop beats and his rhymes aren't as strong as they used to be (especially on his second album).
