There really is no old vs new Eminem

[Emadyville]

Debate this all you want, but most fans would agree that his older songs are better overall than his newer material (AKA around the time of Encore, I personally would date it).

While I sorta agree, I don't think you can say they are 'better' I think you'd have to say they are preferred, or more liked.

^ At this point, yeah. I want Em to be happy with the music he makes. Until he puts out another album, I'm not gonna slam his shit as hard as a lot of people do (unless it's COMPLETE utter shit).

I agree with you. I'm gonna say I don't like it but not say he's done or something.

^ I'm even more eager to hear some Eminem material over his own beats. Just to know.. to hear, how it sounds like right now. If he can create a new classic..

I really hope the verse(s) he dropped in the new Slaughterhouse album are produced by him.

Am I the only one who thinks there was no Relapse 2?

I thought he was making Relapse 2 but then drifted out of the serial-killer persona and lost his accent and just started making regular tracks..not even purposely

No, he had enough Relapse material to make 3 albums. I guess he just didn't pick the tracks to make "Relapse 2" and never made a tracklist.

He also said he had enough Recovery material to make 3 albums. Dude must make like a hundred tracks every time he wants to make another album.

I seem to recall him saying in interviews that the album just needed some last minute tweaking before release. I also remember him saying that it was much more personal that the first release.

I think both of these comments open the floor for a LOT of speculation (e.g. one could suggest that Recovery was Relapse 2, although personally I don't believe this)

Either way, does anyone else feel like we're beating a dead horse?
