At the same time, I would easily trade inner peace for fan support any day of the week
Em does what he does now, if you dont like it no one fores you to listen, and theirs about 1,000 disgruntled mad at the world MC's in the underground waiting for you, take your pick

I'd hardly say he's 'gotten happy' though lmao.
People just listen to each other's opinions. I've seen so many people say Recovery is soft etc. - If you don't like the music, that's one thing, but claiming it's soft is just false. He fucking opens the album with a song rattling off at everybody.
And some shit he says on "Almost Famous"...
Now there he goes in Dre's studio cuppin his balls
Screaming the wood off the panelling
And cussing the paint off the walls...
Like David Carradine they can go fuck themselves and just die
And eat shit while they at it
He's fucking had it, he's mad at the whole world
So go to hell and build a snowman girlIs as pissed-off and offensive as ever lmao. People just make up these perceptions after artists like him get that big. But in reality, whether he's put out good or bad music, through his ups and downs - He's remained the same artist.
And on Recovery he's still angry as hell through 99% of it lmao. Even if it is forced, he's obviously uncomfortable being 'happy' as he's not that by nature. So tries to find excuses to let out anger. "Not Afraid" is the cloest thing to happy but even that is coated in anger -
Pull his dick from the dirt and fuck the whole Universe etc.
