Yeah, don't mean to make it seem like I'm singling you out, I'm not

I've just seen it said so many times, I really hate seeing people talk and jerk off to his "prime" work. I hate that fucking word, a butcher asked if I wanted prime rib and I jumped over the counter and castrated him.
I hear ya.
I hate when people say they want him sound EXACTLY like 2000 Eminem. I wouldn't like an artist who couldn't adapt his sound. Adapt or die in the music industry.
Something I love about Em is NONE of his albums sound the same.
From Infinite to SSLP to MMLP to TES to 8Mile stuff to Encore to Relapse to Recovery to HTS. Nothing sounds the same, each has their own identity. That's why I'm worried about MMLP2. I want an album to stand on it's own, but I feel it won't sound ANYTHING like the first obviously.
That's a reason Nas might not be the GOAT to me, though he's in my Top 3 with Em and Rakim. Nas has made plenty of good albums along his two great ones, but a lot of them sound similar or pretty much the same, though he's still dope.
Two producers I wish Em would work with are AraabMuzik and Salaam Remi.
