Ending lines in the middle of the sentence..

[1TS OK4Y]

When did Em start doing this so much? I hate it. It sounds really shitty if you ask me.

Actually, I think he's always done it, but he more or less pauses now so it really makes it feel awkward I feel. He needs better rhyming structure or just don't make it so obvious..

Anyone else bothered by this?

[iraqi4life]

I feel like the kinga
ma world

[Static]

I've noticed that too. I think it sounds cool TBH.

[1TS OK4Y]

Yeah. I'm really bothered by it.

He does it all through Cocaine. It's just a mess.

I think that's honestly his biggest problem..I'm not sure why he started doing this (or again - just pausing longer)

Writers Block FYI.

Em', lost his memory,

Recovery was really good though

[Sebizzle]

it sounds good on Cocaine, but it does sound cheap/ cheesy on some songs

The only time I liked it was during the Westwood freestyle's before the release of Relapse.

[slimsoxshady]

i kinda like it
makes the rhymes less predictable

agreed
said perfectly

[NicoleEM]

Hmmm i don't really mind it

[xxTrigger1989xx]

If properly executed, it's fine

[Cam_24]

It's never really bothered me to be honest.

Shitty? No way, it's a skill not a flaw.

Or maybe we're talking about something else, I think you're referring to his recent choppy flows like on "Where I'm At" where it sounds like the sentences have been chopped up.

That's more to do with his flows, in his constant struggle to sound different every album.

But, something he and other good rappers do but which he does very well (as a skill) is ending... well, ending lines in the middle of words or even half way through a sentence, but the flow remains smooth - this makes you have to keep listening to make sense of the complete line, it's technique and it's skillful. It's like... rhythmic flair or something.

But I don't think you necessarily mean that anyway. To see what I'm talking about you can listen to the 09 Westwood freestyle, he does it a lot there, sounds awesome.
