How can Eminem make his next album classic? Or surprise us?

If I knew how he could surprise me, it wouldn't be a surprise.

But in terms of making a classic album; I think the absolute key, obvious issue and factor to get right is CONSISTENT production. I think he needs a handful of producers, I'd personally want no more than two or three, and for Em to be heavily involved, perhaps producing all of the initial skeleton melodies himself; no consistent overall sound and patchy music is what let Recovery down.

Relapse had that 'classic' consistency with all tracks bar 'CAB' and "Beautiful", but all the tracks made for Relapse, sound like they were made for the same album, it sounds like one cohesive sound and project, despite the wildly experimental flows and cadences.

So, I definitely feel an 'overall sound' is what needs to be achieved now. If you look at say, The Eminem Show, the reason that feels SO consistent and top-to-bottom spic-and-span is because Em had one particular aim in mind; he wanted to capture 70s rock; infuse that sound in to his rap, and he carried that through, throughout; but the beats are all still different and unique.

But without an overall sound... it will just sound like another bunch of tracks.

No matter what he does, he should take risks

[UofLCard]

By making an entire album of diss tracks. That's when he's at his best and it sure would surprise EVERYONE

That would be 100 times more redundant than Relapse's serial killer story line.

An album that is near flawless, great replayability, something that gets almost unanimously great reviews (4.5-5/5).

well i disagree with the reviews, if you remeber his first 3 albums didn't get that much praise from the critics so that is not really that important for his next album to be a classic.

Sorry, I meant by fans

no problem dude

Eminem will never make a classic if he keeps screaming fast-rap about how much he hates women with terrible hashtag punchlines.

Also, he's already said everything he has to say. Now he's just repeating sh-t with new (awkward) flows.

Comedy driven story telling tracks
Dark story telling tracks
Uplifting track possibly about detroit
some conspiracy theory driven track or about freedom of speech (Especially now that in the west free speech has been restricted a lot more than 10 years ago).

He can touch on a lot of things, just hope they are over his/dre beats and uses a normalized flow. The flow on that recent pink track was a lot better but his flow on warning was immense. He can do his renegade flow perfectly fine as we saw in that live performance with jay z on the letterman show.

Fan requests are horrible.

People just request for Eminem to repeat what they previously liked.

It's so stupid...and such a recipe for disaster. I'm glad Eminem's team laughs at this message board sh-t and doesn't pass it on.

And you are?

Aftermathers, probably. And we laugh at Eminem and his team for making shitty music and failing to market their artists. Fucking Hopsin has more buzz than Slaughterhouse.

I thought of a way that em could surprise me.

If he made an album with no curse words. None.

Eminem- patently advisory. With a picture of him with two middle fingers up being covered with parental advisory labels. The e backwards of course.

Big l made tru master no curse words. Except the self censored fuck that didn't really need to be there. He didn't curse much on infinite. But it wasn't really good. I mean think about it. There has never been a good rap album with no cussing. How awesome would it be. Em could still be crazy. Not cussing doesn't mean soft. Use that big vocabulary em.

^ I like the title Parental Advisory for his album

[ShAdYTiLIDie]

If he made a zombie rap album! Fuck yeah.
