To me Eminem is a mediocre producer as 90% of his beats sound the same. He should definitely try something new with his drum sound and try working on more layers. His shit doesn't surprise me cus it's always something simple unlike world class producers like Just Blaze.
I don't hope he will be on Recovery as there is already a fair share of producers confirmed, plus there's some I rather have on the record.
Don't get me wrong. It's nos as if I think he's crap or anything but I don't think he's anything special at all.
Sound the same? What in the World are you listening to.
Almost every one of his beats is totally distinctive from the next. In terms of techniques he may use yeah but they all sound totally different.
How does "The Cross" sound like "No Apologies", or "Square Dance" like "Till I Collapse". He's created a widerange of beats. And it absolutely has to do with not sampling. He creates melodies from scratch and they're melodies from his head, often. So you get a very memorable, distinctive tune each time.
Most of the time it's done with a heavy drum and a melody as a main layer* (always only very few layers). Apart from Lose yourself, the only class beat he has done is Like toy soldiers (which had a couple of samples). His sound is not innovative at all, you always know what you're going to get from him imo. I just read the wikipedia page for Detox a couple of hours ago (with sources); the ideas Dre has for Detox are just incredible. Could anyone seriuosly imagine Em thinking of symphony interpretings and live drums in his production?
Great producers are No.id, Dre, Quincy, Kanye west, large professor, Premier, Pete rock etc.
*Beautiful, Till I collapse, Square dance, The cross etc
