Anyone else NOT optimistic about the Shady family?

[Devil'sAdvocate]

This is the dumbest shit i ever read from you.

you even called kanye west an "MC" kanye cant control a mic with 2 big ass ropes tied to the string of his tampon.

Em is very relevant nowadays,he been in the game we know his formula,but i dont see you saying that abt jay mos def nas joe ........

Popularity = relevance,thats just how it is.

Slaughterhouse are fuckin beasts man,fucking beasts.

Yelawolf is a fresh breath for hip hop,he is very enjoyable and very talented.

D12 are dope,they just dope,they dropped a classic before,im pretty sure they can drop a great album now too,swifty kun and bizzy are better now.

Dr.Dre is a fucking BRAND NAME,he is like coca cola,he is like Sony,like microsoft,he a cash making machine,BEATS BY DRE selling like crazy why,cuz they BEATS BY "DRE" he is greatest producer off all time in terms of hip hop.

ive lost respect for you son after this thread.

With regard to the last bit about Dre...

Detox actually has me kind of worried. The reception for I Need a Doctor as a Dre song was pretty much negative, and it is weird for a Dre song. Don't get me wrong—I love the song, but...Alex Da Kid? Producing on Detox?

This all has been said multiple times, so I don't have to go into it, but Detox will most likely only be good if Dre does some damn production.

Eminem is irrelevant? To who, highschool kids? I connected to Recovery more than any other CD he has put out. I'm not saying it's better, I'm just saying the content was more mature and i was able to connect to it on a higher level. Maybe being 22 is considered "old" for the average listener nowadays.

I don't get yelawolf's music, so i am not looking forward to any of it tbh. I feel like slaughterhouse could be hit or miss. Cashis who? 50 Cent has been done for years, no surprise there. D12 has just always been okay to me, nothing great. I am excited for Detox though, I actually enjoyed INAD.

[Jaz]

Eminem: He will still be VERY relevant for at least another 5 years. Recovery got a great response from it's singles and the album as a whole, and anyone who watched him come up doesn't want to see Em go.

D12: 2 members shorter than they were, and like you I mostly listened for Em verses anyway.. That leaked track was dope as fuck though, so some faith is restored. I'd say they have one more chance.

50 Cent: I just don't care anymore. 50 has nothing new to say, and didn't have much to say in the first place.

Cashis: Never cared to care. Most people don't know any of Cashis' work other than stuff from the re-up.

Slaughterhouse: Right now a powerhouse imo.. I have at least 1-2 SH tracks on every mix cd I make, and don't really get tired of them. Then again, I've always preferred tracks with sick lines to anything else..

"Last King of Scotland, sippin' good liquor
If you're Meagan Good, I'm Forrest Would-dick-her
Oscar winner, Oscar weiner
If your flows Aquafina, I'm Katrina"


Yelawolf: Always hit or miss with me. His verse on Travis Barker's album sounded great, and he's so unique that I'd hate to see him go. He's like a Lil Wayne with worse punches and a way better flow. Yela easily has one of the best flows in the game right now though, and I look forward to seeing more of him on 2.0

Dr Dre: Just stick to producing now bro.. In fact, teach me if you're gonna start slacking.

[Spyder]

idc if Em has an effect on people to make em bleach or braid their hair or shave it off
i just want a good verse. a regular voice, nice topic. good flow. no punches at all.
or maybe the early day sarcastic whit track, i agree he has probably run out of topics, not that there are
just that he can think of. cause he could never do a Rewind theme or anything. Stan was as good as he got with storytelling on others lives.

D12:agree i hate em besides Em and obv course em aint what he use to be, Proof is gone so fuck D12

SH: SH is the truth, four great emcees who bring it on 99% of their tracks, their flow multies punches beats is fantastic, their style of rhyming about nothing but making it work is great. they even drop a song with meaning and its not bad. SH is "the street" their not Jay-Z mainstream but their not Diobolic underground so their in the middle but they dominate

Yelawolf needs to die honestly. nuff said

Cashis isnt even on shady anymore is he?

Dre doesnt write so why count him hahaha

[NicoleEM]

I think i'll just skip your threads from now on.Everytime i read them my blood pressure goes up.I'll let u figure out why lol.
Back to the OP:
Em is still relevant,the fact that most of those leaks made some of his fans say he went downhill doesn't affect me.He will probably be relevant years from now either he's next album will be a classic or not.
D12:They've been thru a lot,they lost Proof and Em for a while.Their mixtape Return of the dozen 1 was pretty nice,but offcourse many didnt even listened since it didnt had Em on it.I agree that without Em their popularity goes way down,but not everyone is listening to them cause of Em lol.We shall see with their next album.The last 2-3 tracks i heard were dope af imo.
Fif:His last freestyles were mostly dope.Not bangers,but thats not what freestyles are suppose to be.He seems concentrated on this album and it might surprise many people.
Cashis:He has some dope tracks,been very loyal to Shady and sure deserves a chance.Not sure abt him blowing up tho,we will see.
SH:They are on the wave dude.If they play their cards right they could be amazing.Not EMazing,but still...
Yelawolf:personally i love this guy.His mixtape was great,can't wait for the album.I think he has a big chance to proove himself with it.
Why put Dre in this list tho?We only heard 2 songs from him and he isn't even writing his own stuff.So if we are referring to his voice he still has it.As for beats..we haven't heard any from Detox yet.
My point,yes i am optimistic about Shady family.If u expecting them to blow up like Em and Fif,then no they won't,but i don't think that's their purpose.Just glad Em is taking care of his label.Been put asside for too long.
PS:lol at some of ya guys saying Kanye>Em.Kanye should have sticked to producing IMO,but i wont get into that.Let's just say Kesha,Bieber and Rihanna are more known in Europe then Kanye,Weezy and Nicki.While Eminem is known worldwide,my friends have no idea who those mentioned are lol.I rest my case

[NicoleEM]

i used to hate Yelawolf , but lately his shit grew on me .. much like H.A.M

When i first saw his videos i was like wtf is that lmao.Not a big fan of them.But his mixtape grew on me <3

[Kevin Paul]

Couldn't agree more I used to always anticipate eminem music the most out of every artist but the present eminem really needs to prove himself to me again for me to get excited for new releases.

Also another good thread, one of the best members at the moment

Eminem isnt relevant
Slaughterhouse are good rappers
but they don't make great music with replay value
Yelawolf has a unique flow you either hate or love
i think he can be successfull
he aslo seems to have his head screwed on too unlike Cashis

@FreeSpeech (aka @obviouslyIdon'tlikeEmandIamheretoconvertyoutoKanyereligion)

I love the way you troll

P.S. I'm a girl...

@vivaldiwasasellout (aka @imlostwhereisthekitchen)

Eminem is my favorite rapper bar none, but to say Kanye isn't more relevant is absurd. Plus, he's still fairly early in his career. He has lots to do and say. Eminem, not so much. He could walk away today and we wouldn't be left asking any questions.

P.S. Make me a sandwich...

You take yourself so seriously, I was kidding !

You know everything, you judge everybody...You are not SuperGod you are SuperArrogant!

"Eminem is my favorite rapper bar none"


"but to say Kanye isn't more relevant is absurd"

This is just your opinion.

"...Eminem... could walk away today and we wouldn't be left asking any questions."

It's the most stupid thing I have ever read

Reading your threads It's difficult to believe you are a fan

I was so surprised when you defended Em about commercials, then I remembered Kanye "Absolute Wodka"(2008)

P.S. I would be happy to make you a shitty sandwich

[Sofi]

So who, if i may ask, IS culturally relevant? Kanye? Tech n9ne? IMO, the world has moved on from the kind of hero-worship earlier celebrities (elvis, beatles, Michael) and i seriously think Eminem is the last of that breed.

Edited*

Exactly people used to worship celebrities before, now not that much expect for maybe Gaga but I think we are all pass that. And I do have to agree with what you said about everyone but Em, im optimistic about Em's future projects and all, but for the rest of the Shady family not so much. I don't think anyone listens to D12 just because they wan't to listen to the rest of the group (Not Em) or that anyone would of known D12 if it wasnt for Em. And for the rest I don't see much future

[FreeSpeech]

You take yourself so seriously, I was kidding !
So was I, if I was serious I would have told you what I wanted on the sandwich.

You know everything, you judge everybody...You are not SuperGod you are SuperArrogant!
Mmmm not really at all, but you just judged the hell out of me so...

"Eminem is my favorite rapper bar none"

What's funny? He is, I'm a huge fan. However, most of my Eminem-related posts are criticisms because I don't feel like sucking his dick like every Stan on here. And I criticize him because I hold him to a much higher standard than any other rapper, or musician, since I know what he is capable of.

"but to say Kanye isn't more relevant is absurd"

This is just your opinion.
Yes, just like everything posted on this board is opinion. And in my opinion that's absurd.

"...Eminem... could walk away today and we wouldn't be left asking any questions."
Is it? He's spilled his whole life into his music. We know more about him than any other rapper essentially. his story is basically told.

Reading your threads It's difficult to believe you are a fan
Hmmm, like the thread where I typed out lyrics to a bunch of new leaks for everyone? Or the one where I asked which rappers you thought were real good people inside, and I listed Em as one of my three?

I was so surprised when you defended Em about commercials, then I remembered Kanye "Absolute Wodka"(2008)
I don't even know what that is...Apparently me having a Kanye pic makes me a Kanye dickrider, as you keep bringing him up. I'm not, I'm just a fan of his and it was a good pic.

P.S. I would be happy to make you a shitty sandwich
OK, then go make me one. I won't eat it, but you women can always use the practice.

[vivaldiwasasellout]

@FreeSpeech
So your criticism is always constructive? C'mon be honest, if you can!
I said that you are arrogant because, well, sometimes you are.
I really appreciate you self-esteem, you are soooo assertive (often too assertive, I think), but please remember that just idiots have no doubt.

You wrote (bold)

No, I think you are wrong. He still has at least the 50% of his life to tell.

About you, Kanye and A. wodka
