An artist even taking into consideration the perception of the 'fans' at any specific time in their career is retarded. Eminem is a polarizing artist and when he started out, one that did not compromise.
The only time bar his own writer's block or lack of creativity or drive that his music has gone downhill, has been when he's been trying to please other people other than himself.
It's not natural to do that. Which is why the saying "a camel is a horse designed by committee" is so relevant. Recovery was pretty much a camel. Where as Em's first three albums were horses. There's a stark difference, and you can feel it.
He shouldn't care one iota about what anybody bar himself thinks. No true artist should.
As if your 'current' fans don't like what you are now doing, but YOU love it, there will be new people out there that will love it that will become your 'new' fans. Trying to please the same crowd of fans with the same taste whilst trying to evolve yourself is contradictory and retarded.
Koolo and all those guys are fucking retards too.
I remember being on RapBasement saying how great Relapse was, in 2009. And they were all saying it's garbage, his worst album, etc. and now that it's become more cool to like it again, they're all saying it's outstanding in many ways, and has some incredible material.
I also remember them all saying Recovery was mind-blowing when it first came out and top to bottom brilliance and now a lot of them say it's trash lmao. I know opinions change but what bothers me, is people who just go with the crowd or the crowd they happen to be in.
I've thought Relapse was brilliant since it dropped and I've kept that opinion. The type of cunts who post on there have no integrity, they're all just after 'rep points', using lame slang.
