Eminem Needs To Play To His Strengths - Not Punchlines!

[JAGODA]

I don't mind it, but I want some great new Em's style.

[TheGentlePlayer]

The "Black Eye" line was dope though. The same with most of Almost Famous

[IVIrIVIurphY]

I agree for the most part except...

I don't agree that bit you mentioned is nonsensical. It's not arbitrary - it's abuse towards females, it's twisted / bizarro-world misogyny.

He has been sacrificing a lot of sense for puns since Relapse, absolutely but - there's more than enough pure gold to justify this new style. For a little while. Being hateful, being an anarchist... these are well-rooted in his image and artistic 'mojo', it's not random.

And I'm glad that he's had a period of all-out punchlines. But, yes I would like him to get off it now. But, he's yet to repeat a style for two albums anyway so very unlikely he'll continue all this beyond the Slaughterhouse album and Detox. So, new Em is coming.

i hope your right

I agree, somewhat, Em's strengths do not include punchlines. Still, some of his punchlines on 2.0 are pretty dope IMO. It seems like he's improving on them. I hope Em can move away from the punchlines soon, though. I want some more storytelling tracks.

[Fa-Q]

I'm not a fan of the punchlines

[xxTrigger1989xx]

excuse for this corny metaphore, but they'll never KETCHUP to this energy that I have MUSTARD

That sounds like a shitty Lil Wayne punchline that he decided not to even record.

I know :P though Em apologized for it before sayin it

TBH it's so bad that it's actually funny

Wait, Em said this?

[buffalo bill]

And he chose the worst possible song to put it on

why you act like you're not aware that he did use this punchline? it's on " you're never over"

ahh, i get it, you're trolling.

[Master Chief]

On You're Never Over.

Thank god, he apologized before it because it lets me know that he KNOWS it's corny as shit.

[xxTrigger1989xx]

lol :P it's on you're never over

I never listen to You're Never Over, sorry

I've listened to the whole song maybe 5 times, don't know all of the lyrics.

lol, even I the recovery criticizer :P love this song

Eh, I don't, hate the beat, hate the chorus...his verses are okay but they're not good enough for me to wanna keep on listening. I recognize that the song is supposed to be a good song, but it doesn't sound good to me. Difficult > YNO for me, not lyrically obviously, but as a song.

[Master Chief]

Difficult is a disaster lyrically

Difficult is a disaster lyrically

It's one of his lyrical best son better than some of the stuff on Recovery.

[HereHere]

What are you guys smoking? Difficult isn't good lyrically at all.
