Author Robert Greene Talks About How Eminem Burned Out

[sbolli1]

I don't understand how people can listen to Recovery and say it was phony. When's the last time people listened to CWB, Seduction, Almost Famous, No Love, Cinderella Man, 25 to Life? He sounds hungry as fuck on these songs and they're just overall monstrous tracks.

I kind of get the point this guy is trying to make, but I disagree.

OMG HE WAZ BETTA ON DRUGZZZZZZZZZ REMEMBAR MOCKINGBIRD AND WHEN IM GONE THOSE WERE SOOOOO GOOD OMGZ I CREAMED MY PANTIES

I disagree; Em is way more creative than 'rich or poor'.

He had millions, had achieved all his dreams and was at the top of his game when he made 'TES'.

If he's at all burned out then it's in trying to find interesting subject-matter. But lyrically, with his flows and with his art - he's as exciting and experimental as ever.

He had more creativity initially, or more 'fuel' because he's a reactionary artist and thrives at what people throw at him. I don't think how rich he is makes the slightest bit of difference; if he became a true public enemy again then we would see pure genius.

But he's still created some incredible hip-hop since his return. He's not burned out.

I do agree and get the lack of hunger issue that well i can relate to this too when you are broke, have nothing living in the poorest area, have the weight of the world on your shoulder having to worry about where the next meal is gonna come from, feeding ya kids. Your music naturally will be hungry all that motiviates you. Em has been a multi millionaire for so long so you can understand it is just natural.

[BlueberryWun]

Em should not listen to anyone, dude should do what he wanna do musically, what is on his mind, how he feels. Who is Hopsin to say what he should or shouldn't do Hopsin should just worry about himself.

I agree with the article id probably write this out of spite of losing nostalgia

Em's hunger has nothing to do with him wanting money or the fame. So therefore, those things aren't going to satisfy his "hunger." He has always claimed that he wants respect or to be one of the greatest of all time. He went hard as f*ck on recovery ("why am I yelling at air"). Recovery isn't in my top 3 or 4 favorite albums of his, but that doesn't mean he lost the fire or the hunger. Listen to songs he made after Recovery, like Welcome to Hell, Above the Law, and Take From Me. He is still hungry and loves to rap. He wants to go down as one of the best ever, and for that reason alone is why I have high hopes for his upcoming album.

Exactly what I wanted to say when I saw Slim Cary's classic retarded post "when Em isn't hungry, you get Recovery". Yeah yeah, guy sounded like he was starving on that album.

It's amazing how offended you get when anyone says anything negative about your lord and savior eminem.

SSLP, MMLP, Eminem Show, Relapse. AMAZING detail was put into the album.

It obviously lacks on Recovery. Recovery sounds quick. Em wasn't into it like the other albums. Em is usually a perfectionist.

When he's on his game, he's one of the best of making the album great, every second of it. Ten years ago he would have never let those mediocre beats or corny forced lyrics make an album.

You've got to be one of the most annoying users here. I guess they just allowed you to be a mod because you post like you get paid for each one. It's like the co worker no one really wants to invite out, but he's always around, so....might as well.

Lowkey compliment?

@12characters, I think Slim Cary and Menzo just need to have a nice rasclart session each to take a minute and cool down.

You may have a point there. Nothing like an insipid masturbation session late at night to help you truly appreciate songs like LTWYL and Spacebound.

Or early in the morning.

How can Recovery be forced if it was bsed on over coming his drug addiction? something that is real serious and almost took his life
