Why does Eminem not rap like he used to?

[csw621]

"Stay Wide Awake", "Almost Famous" or "Rap God"

11/10 playlist in the making

Why would an artist who has been around for 15 + years retreat back to this "old style"? Why would he not continue to experiment/grow? If Eminem never overdosed and still rapped he would rap differently, he would not have stayed with the old SSLP/MMLP style. Each album has a new flow and shit. I fucking HATE Eminem fans that say "Why does Eminem not rap like he used to?" or "I want Eminem to rap like he did when he was younger" because that would mean he never grew or had any creativity and tbh if he did stay the same the on every fucking album, I guarantee he would not be going down as one of the best MC's. Rapping like he does now (differently) is great and makes the new albums special just like how he used to rap makes the older albums special. Why? Because hes not doing the same fucking thing on everything he does. Fuck you for making this thread.

You mean if he never got into drugs?

No. Just if he never OD on them.

[yoda you can call me]

The drugs didn't alter his mind that much. His personality is still very much evident. believe me i know what it's like to have your brain chemistry altered by drugs. I had it way worse than Em got it (That not showing off either). There's aspects of my pre drugs personality that i don't think will ever return. I also lost basic knowledge like grammar, punctuation and social skills that i've had relearn. Em seems like his good old self to me. and even most of his critics can't deny that Rap God was an amazing showcase of his talents. The dude can still write good melodic tracks and shit. And to the critics that say there's no substance there anymore, he addressed that in GOF about him running out of shit to write about so he's rewording the same old song. there's only so many life experiences you can write about and he's had a long enough span to exhaust them topics in depth.

To sum up. he doesn't rhyme like he used to because he's a strong believer in growth and change, also his obsessiveness regarding flow and style has been documented by him.

Hope that made sense, i'm tired and rambling, lel.

Plus I'm sure that if he wanted to rap like back in the days, he could. He just wanna evolve, like it or not.

Em hasn't evolved as an artist. That is a fact. I'd like to call it divine growing

[EminemInsider]

A little of both.

He doesn't remember parts of who he used to be, and he also is at a point where he wants to experiment. He wants to turn on the news and write down a bunch of names he hears and try to rhyme with them so he can rhyme some words he's never rhymed before.

He wants to show the world more double and triple time flows, since only hardcore fans of his have heard his Soul Intent stuff.

He wants the average idiot to finally figure out how complex his rhyme schemes are, hence the em-PHA-sis on some new syl-LAL-i-bles.

[shadyblogger]

^ yeah I was thinking a little of both as well

He hasn't evolved as an artist?

So to go from making "Role Model" and "Guilty Conscience" to "The Way I Am" to "Sing for the Moment" to "Mockingbird" to "Stay Wide Awake" to "Not Afraid" to "Headlights"...

Is not evolution?

You kidding me son. Guy rapping "My Name Is" may as well be a different rapper from the guy rapping "Sing for the Moment" - it's a whole other level of awareness and ambition and sound, entirely.
