Anyone Else Think Em was Better on Drugs?

Postby BayAreaLegend » Jun 4th, '11, 10:33

I know ill be the first to say i get excited for every new track that drops of em but lately ive been a little dissapointed and kinda let me to think that the reason marshall was so big and such a good lyricist that maybe it was because of the drugs he was taking at the time.in my opinion none of his new material with the exception of a couple even comes close to his older tracks, during the eminem show era/encore and even some relapse. everything past recovery has been good but nothing special that blows my mind, which is why i got into em in the first place. idk just my thought and wondered if anyone else felt the same way :smoking:

I have the urge to post several facepalm smileys, but I just can't be 100% sure if you're trolling.

Nah, Recovery shits all over the MMLP... and I'm sure Hell: The Sequel will do the same to TES.

The above is bullshit on my part. Cool thread, bro!

Seriously, I know I hate on Recovery too much, it's a good album, but when it comes to sayin it's better than TES, that's just.... I dunno what to say

Yep, I agree. But, each to their own. I know a few people (who are new to Em) that prefer Recovery over TES...

You want more Touchdown verses? That's what your insinuating through saying he was "better" on drugs. No matter how much criticism post-Recovery Eminem gets, he's no where near as bad as he was 2004-2007.

Can't argue with that. :y:

What was the point of even asking this question everyone that hates his new style says that he was better on drugs. Why don't you go listen to Big Weenie, Touchdown, Fack and My 1st Single.

:facepalm
Not this again so you want more songs like My 1st Single, Touchdown, Big Weenie, Just Lose It, Fack, Puke and Peep Show. I still think Relapse and Recovery is better than Encore.

Relapse and Recovery are definitely better than Encore. It's the worst album of Em.

No, he made Relapse, and Relapse is arguably his most lyrical album. He was better during that time period because he still had more than enough shit to write about. Nowadays, he sadly doesn't, because his life is perfect. Plus...when he was heavily on drugs (Encore - 2008), he sucked ass, and current Eminem is better than that Eminem. So no, he was NOT better on drugs, he was a thousand times worse. His voice may have sounded better, but his lyrics were shit, and his lyrics now (yes, even the punchlines) stomp that bullshit he used to make.

Word on Satan, as I drop, fall to my knees before this Quija board and I pray

Lol. Peep Show. :facepalm
I forgot that song even existed.

You REALLY think shit like Ballin' Uncontrollably and Difficult (I don't care if the song means a lot, because it is a very average song) are actually better than what we're getting? BME is gonna shit all over those shitty songs Koolo leaked from his drugged out period...and Encore is definitely some of his worst material, so don't see why you wouldn't agree on that too?

Sober Em > Fucked up all the time Em. The sober Em just needs better concepts.
