What happened to Eminem?

[Devil'sAdvocate]

Such a dumb ass.

BTW lello,bro u are following the crowd here,becoming one of these so called hip hop heads who are like Recovery is bad,Em fallen off,he sucks.

.

What type of half assed reasoning is this? If he thinks Eminem fell of and isn't as good now, maybe it's because he's exposed to more quality artists at the moment and doesn't feel like subjecting himself to mediocore music that he feels is a chore is a listen too, it's not because he's trying to "follow the crowd". You can wank Eminem's paltry accomplishments until you ejaculate blood, but don't accuse other people of trying to be cool, by disliking newer Eminem.

im sorry bro,but was i referring to you,did i mean you?

its non of your business tbh.

Of course you weren't referring to me, I'm not stupid. Which is why I said "he", and I think you mean white knighting, amirite? I'm just calling you out on your bullshit, I'm not trying to start shit but impressing your music taste on him and than going to accuse him of being a "follower", is fucking bullshit and gives fellow stans a bad rep. I could have been a lot harsher btw, consider me being nice on that post.

@ Slimm. Anyone with a brain and knowledge can examine what is a good rap song and what isn't.

We all know Eminem fell off. The real question is, what happened to his fans?

Seems like every one of his Recovery/Relapse fans are brainwashed. They no longer possess the mind and will to understand what a good Eminem song is. Most are in fact so lost in him, they don't know what's dope. They hear a multi and they bust a nut.

Yeah but can't it be possible that because we were all young that we just liked Eminem more? That because now we have so many different artists we listen to and because we know exactly what we want we just don't really like that same stuff anymore. It's obvious Eminem has changed, but there is also a change between SSLP em and TES em. Can't it be likely that we have also changed?

You're 20 right? What if Eminem dropped Recovery after TES would you have liked it more because of your age?

This is true. Which is why I said in one of my posts that there are more than likely a plethora of different reasons why Em has changed in my/our eyes. It could be, and most likely is partially due to the fact, that we have also changed.

I never had a problem with Relapse/Recovery. I think they're decent albums and still listen to them... Songs like "My Mom", "Deja Vu", "My Darling", "Going Through Changes", "Almost Famous", or "Cold Wind Blows" showcase the Eminem I loved. Not as great as "Criminal" but definitely worth a replay or two. What I fucking hate is the songs that got released AFTER Recovery. These leaks really made my hopes for another good album go down the drain. I really can't describe how much I hate Eminem being a "punchline rapper" these days. He did it in Recovery too, but the puns exploded exponentially after. I don't give a fuck if they're getting better, that's just not him!!! And when he's not dropping stupid punchlines every second, he's telling me how bad he is to bitches... Ok, I get it, you hate bitches but can you at least say it with the personality you used to have? Make me laugh in the process! Lemme end this post here before I start a rant... Anyway, I've already lost my concentration listening to "Drug Ballad"

I miss the old Eminem.

I don't think a rapper, or maybe even artist for that matter, will ever match Marshall's skill from around '99-'02. He was on a different level.

Gotta say, good thread

[Mikey1990]

agreed bout the encore songs u mentioned

IMO Encore has a handfull of bad songs: Big Weenie, Ass Like That, Just Lose It and My 1st Single

the rest is mostly good and some (like the ones u mentioned) are great

u think encore is good

[TRSL]

Well, yeah, a lot of the leaks were so so...but that's why they were never released, right? I think the songs officially released were pretty good.

That's All She Wrote
Where I'm At
Roman's Revenge
2.0 Boys
Hello Good Morning (it was really just a fun track)

I actually like those songs.

4 outta 5 of these are in my worst 10 em songs ever

[imhavingarelapse]

I'm listening to TES and it makes me sad that we'll never hear Eminem with half the skill set he had back then. Damn.

[Spyder]

i agree with the masses, i knew he had but ive been bumping TES and MMLP and their just
pure genius

i miss that Em

I know man, it's sad..

When Relapse and Recovery first came out I tried to tell myself it was amazing, but the truth is, I was trying to make myself like the both of them (minus two or three songs). When it came to MMLP and TES, I was instantly hooked on first listen. Eminem's early music is what made me a hip-hop fan.

[imhavingarelapse]

I'm a Recovery fan and I will say this...Em does not seem happy with Recovery.

Recovery to Em is what Lasers is to Lupe Fiasco. Paul wanted Em to give out a more fan-reaching album just so that he could grasp the public eye again. Now that that is over and done with, I think Em is gonna go back to being a real Hip-Hop artist what with his new artists he has to work with

I get where you're coming from with this, but I really think it's just wishful thinking. I'd like nothing more than for you to be right though.

I'm just thankful for Hopsin. The dude is as close to the old Eminem I think there will ever be.
