Getting older shouldn't effect it... in fact, with great artists it often makes it richer. I feel Em is one of those artists, as his writing in many respects has gotten richer in areas, more adult.

You say 'not much to talk about' but that's not true. If the artist is creative... there's no age limit on creativity. Unless you just want him to talk about his own life constantly. Which to me is boring.

I used to think he would for some reason look ridiculous rapping at 40, just on paper, 'white 40 year old rapping' sounds very silly. But, he's managed to re-define it, if you look at like "Space Bound", it feels very toned and atmospheric, it doesn't feel like 'silly rap', and he has a better look now.

So, I think he can go on as long as he wants but, I think he'll probably make like 2-3 more max.

People here talk about turning 40, like if it was the end of the world. As long as he can still do it well...why, no? His last performances were great.


Agree :y:

Being 40 isn't the end of the world!! No one said that shit when Jay turned 40 and people still aren't complaining about Jay.

Right now he is in good shape and enjoying himself again. I can see a few more albums. I think his music will just mature when he is in his 40's. Not many people wanna hear a 40+ year old rap about throwing dicks on girls.

I see two more solo albums, including the one he's working on now...maybe another BME project sometime too. I don't see D12 happening ever again...

The thing is that if Eminem keeps doing whatever he is doing now (like bme:hts) no one wants to listen to him anymore cos it gets repetitive and frankly obnoxious to hear 40 year old man doing songs about jerking off to hannah montana or whatever. And even if some people keep doing music till they die, it's easier with other music genres than it is with hip hop. He cant make an album full of space bound or he will taint his legacy even more so to say.
I feel that Eminem is prolly gonna drob one solo album more and stick to producing after that.
Ofc I'd like to see him drobbing more albums but i dont see that happening + he should go on a world tour.

Within reason, I don't think age is the limiting factor. As long as he can continue to put out solid material, I'm not bothered about his age.
