Eminem's Music

[shadyboymez]

i'm sure he wouldn't be rapping at all if he didn't want to. He probably just realized that the accents were overused, what makes everyone think he didn't mean what he said in Not Afraid?

He can always do what he wants, but why not do it to the best of his ability...i think that's what he wants too isn't it

This is what I feel & what I think all of us should feel.


I know Eminem makes music for us but he makes music for him too, if he wants to use the accents in his songs then let him, he shouldn't have too change just because we don't like them or there not good. If he wants to use them. Then LET HIM!..Relapse was a good come back maybe not one of his bests but it was a pretty dam good album look at Beautiful & Stay Wide Awake, those songs are the shit. And too be honest I thought 3AM was good too, no doubt. Why can't he do his own music & not do what we want him too do ? yeah, yeah, I know where his fans & shit & he loves us but if we are TRULY his fans we would except whatever type of music Em would bring us. Except it & move on it's his choice Em has talent & if he wants to goof off in some of his songs. Let him

Exactly. That's what I disliked about Not Afraid. It seemed like a business decision rather than a creative decision, and I hate it when business interferes with music (even though it's unavoidable). When I hear that song all I think is "This kind of music is popular at the moment. I need to make a song with a similar sound to show I can still appeal to the masses."

Obviously I don't know the man so I could be completely wrong. He might really enjoy that kind of music, but considering his recent freestyles and dating back to his earlier influences, that's hard to believe.

Word

I Also Think That He Was Trying To See If We Liked Them, Like Let Us Having Something New Other Then His Regular Voice & See If Something Comes Out, But Few People Liked It. & So It Was Changed.

Hmmm... I think the accent was always intended for only Relapse/Relapse 2 and was used to represent the serial killer. All the personal tracks (My Mom, Insane, Deja Vu, Beautiful, Underground, etc.) were done without the accent. If he'd released Relapse 2, I doubt he would've continued to use the accent on the next album, regardless of success.

If he doesn´t do what his fans want he´ll never be number one in charts .

Dear Lord... I hope you're joking.

or maybe he just got fully sober, took a look back at himself and realize a 37 grown man rapping with arab accent sounds stupid as fuck Stop acting like you're on his mind or know him personally and know what he's thinking exactly all the time.

And that's not doing the exact same thing?

At no point did I say "this is exactly what happened" or anything definite. Everything is "it SEEMD like a business decision" or "all I THINK is". It's called expressing an opinion, and seeing as you're an active participant on this forum, I thought you would've grasped that concept by now.

I was mocking in that sentence, of course I don't know, that's why I don't open topics "I think... blah blah blah"

It's called discussing art.
You think it's a coincidence he only used the accent on the serial killer tracks?
Therefore, it's logical to assume the accent was the voice of the serial killer.
Do you honestly think he would've continued the serial killer thing after two albums full of it?
I highly doubt it, considering how much he evolves every album.

All I'm doing is expressing opinion and logically hypothesising. I thought that was the point of forums... To discuss... But if you want it your way, I'll stick to disregarding the opinions of others and occasionally chime in with a "I like this song" here and there.

there you got it, the answer, he's not in "serial killer" mood anymore so he's not doing the accent. Em is kind of addictive person, where he does something he does till the end of it. That's why Relapse was full of accent. But once he's past that phase (where he's not obsessed about the accent anymore) he looked back and realized he "ran them accents into the ground" (which he did). That's what I thought, and I don't feel the need to convince anyone to agree with me.

and topic that open with "I think" belongs to Shady chit-chat. I don't see the argument ends up anywhere anyway, at the end of the day people would believe what they want to believe

Well, I'm quite sure we were agreeing all along with that first bit. I was just saying even if Relapse and Relapse 2 were both number 1 albums all over the world, he still would've evolved and got over the accent eventually.

And yeah, that's fair enough, but I didn't start this topic. If I do have any "I think" topics I'll be sure to put them in Chit-Chat. Plus, for me, this is all for entertainment and sometimes it's fun to come up with ridiculous theories.

[IcedSlim Shady]

I agree too. Relapse with that accent was differents from his other album, and i liked it cuz was different, not as good as his best albums but was something new and different and btw was good.

[Elision]

...

if we are TRULY his fans we would except whatever type of music Em would bring us.

Thanks for telling me how to be an Em fan... It's not like I've been once since '99 or anything.



Em is nothing without his fans. Just like his fans are nothing without him. We feed off of him and vise-versa... He loves his fans and he doesn't want to disappoint. I'm not saying we're his world -- but we're definitely a contributing factor.

Seriously?
