Is Em's recent verses REALLY as bad as people are saying?

[Evil Twin]

I'm only focusing on three songs which are: Here Comes The Weekend, Numb and C'mon Let Me Ride. I'm not going to talk about My Life but it's no secret that his verse for that song was recorded long before those three songs.

I decided to make this thread because I honestly like these songs individually for what they are. So I wanted to start a discussion to share my thoughts and also to hear your thoughts on them also.

1. Here Comes The Weekend

This was the first song out of the three that was released. At first when I heard this and even still to this day, I actually like it. Don't really listen to P!nk at all but I wasn't against listening to her on this song. As far as Em's verse goes, it was a great verse. Aside from the fact that it was a pretty short verse, there was really nothing wrong with it. The rhyming and flow were very on point and top notch. Not to mention the fact that there were no awkward punchlines or any unneccesary screaming. I know for a fact that the siren part was a personal highlight for some people. Overall I saw nothing wrong with this verse. Once it had came out, it was seen as a huge step in the right direction considering the verses that we had heard prior to this.

2. Numb

Ok, now this song is pure garbage. Even for the likes of Rihanna, plus not to mention how horrible this is especially when you look back at the success and love these two got together over their last two collaborations. Rihanna's part in the song is literally unbearable. Em's verse is really short on this one. I don't think anybody was expecting it to be THIS short. A lot of people seem glad it was short and think it would be horrendous if it'd gone on any longer. I think people need to understand how long ago these verses were recorded. The verse started off weird and I'm not even going to bother trying to defend the, "Butt Police" line, although to be honest, I laughed the first time I heard it. But even though the content of the verse wasn't at all good, the flow and rhyming were great. I really enjoyed his flow and thought it was one of his best flows as of late. So, overall the song was a mess but it was very enjoyable listening to Em's verse.

3. C'mon Let Me Ride

Nobody really knew how this song was going to turn out or how it was going to sound. But to be totally honest, I think it turned out great. Skylar delivered with great singing and a very catchy hook. The beat was indeed good, especially for Alex Da Kid. I know a lot of people can't stand his production. The beat for Our House was a complete mess but this beat was very good. Maybe Em has given him some tips or something. Who knows? But as far as Em's verse goes, I thought it was excellent. His verse was extremely on point with the concept of the song. He had a great flow and his voice was very calm which I liked and made it even more enjoyable. His rhyming as always was brilliant and he had some great lines in there. Overally it was a fantastic verse performed by Em. I didn't find anything at all with this song that I didn't like.

So it makes me think why people are putting this recent stuff down and saying it deserves to be thrown in the trash. I hope some of you agree with the points I made. Because honestly in my opinion these recent verse we've gotten aren't that bad.
What are your thoughts?

what people don't understand is that eminem just dropped these last-minute as favors for artists he was afilliated with. don't take these literally.

Oh word?

You hang out with Em on a daily basis so of course you'd know.

I already told you, stop embarrassing yourself so much.

[Jimmy Conway]

Every song he has made post recovery has been unlistenable. So yeah,pretty horrible.

@bigray-Fucking around is ok. Being annoying like he is-not ok. The fact that he does not like Eminem is not the problem. Problem is his idiotic way of arguing and his retarded responses like: f.e.- someone says that Kendrick is overrated, Blu will say "XYZ why do you hate on Kendrick, is it because he is better than your lord savior Eminem. Everything I say is a fact, deal with it."

Just look at this thread, there was no reason for that post of his.

[Jimmy Conway]

I think all the shitty verses could be good for him. Could motivate him. The first couple years of his career he had to go up against a lot of people. That gave him fire. Now everyone loves him. Everyone was rooting for him to make a come back. Now that people are talking shit about him, instead of riding his nuts, maybe he will have something to be pissed off and make better songs. That's the hope anyways. Or maybe he's just old and a thousand songs later he's done, time will tell.

Bad Meets Evil EP, T.I. All She Wrote, 50 Cent My Life, and Our House were good. Also 2.0 Boys and the BET cypher.

No they haven't, you fuckin' retard.

I don't listen to them. Because I hate them. So they are unlistenable. Go fuck yourself. How are you a mod? Every time someone isn't on EM's dick you need to cuss them out. You sound like you are 14. YOUR OPINION IS DIFFERENT THAN MINE FUCK YOU. No, fuck you. All the stuff he's made songs bad by my standards of good music. It doesn't sound good to my ears, which is the main thing. Then production and technique wise it is shit.

But fuck off, you don't need to troll me every time I say anything bad about your savior Eminem. His songs have been shitty. I wanted to like them, I tried, but they aren't good. Stop worrying about what I think about them, if you like Eminem rapping about Kmart, spaghetti and butt police, good for you. Maybe someone will give you a helmet and a coloring book that you can enjoy too. Suck a dick.

I liked a couple songs off bad meets evil. I really was talking about his features, probably should have said that. All those other songs you mentioned are horrible. BME was really overrated by a lot of people, but I did listen to a few songs for a short amount of time. But they didn't really have a lot of replay value. I listened to Welcome to hell,above the law, take from me and echo for a couple months, but I don't know, it just didn't hold up that well. I think Royce is really talented and I just expected more from them I guess

[UofLCard]

They're really not.

[Willy]

I don't think they are terrible, just forgettable. He used to murder features, so these tracks just don't compare to the ones in the good old days. However, his delivery is the best it's been for a while.. And for some reason I think his next album is going to be a classic. But If it turns out to be another Recovery I'll be completely letdown, curl up in a ball and cry.
