What happened to Eminem?

[sadcommunity]

what happened to eminem is what i prefer to call " a fucking real falling off " but at least he still trying .. and we gotta respect that and try to undermine the negativity that surround everything he does nowadays .. from fucked up words , horrbile breath control , to the awkward stage presence and let alone the robotic prononciation and cutting the words in his songs

[Mathers]

About his weird move, i think he doesnt feel comfortable on stage, maybe because of all the pressure, stress, or maybe it's a lack of confidence.

He's said plently of times that he feels comfortable on stage now.

words and actions are 2 different things

[LMShady]

For me his voice has changed so much and regularly over the years, far more than most rap artists... Dre has always sort of sounded the same to me along with others... but I guess that's what sets Em apart... he's never afraid to change his style

[Atone]

Snoop aklways sounds the same to, onlything he changes is if he's rappin about pimpin or blunts

[ShAdYTiLIDie]

I think most Em fans could care less the way he walks, IMO his voice sounds great. Yes its different from when he started but still great

Eminem's clothes
He had cool clothes in 2009? He had his cool cap, sweatpants and shit, and he didn't walk like a fucking duck, he didn't walk like a duck in 2010 either.

Y'know, this would be very true if it wasn't so fucking false. Em's awkward stage presence (and specifically the duck-walk) have been happening since the moment he returned. This is nothing new.

Oh and as for him not wearing "cool kid" clothes -- http://youtu.be/AIfFRCbrgPI?t=42s

Well, atleast he doesn't wear tight jeans. And I thought he had sweatpants in 2009? I might be wrong, but he did change his freaking clothes in 2009. Now he wears same shit all the time. But I don't really care about his clothes, and he didn't walk like a duck in 2009, or in 2010, in the Renegade (2010 live preformance) vid, he didn't walk like a duck. And in 2009, when he did underground live, he didn't walk like a duck.

Honestly,i do think his vocal cords are a bit torn out nowadays,even when he starts speaking nowadays,he kinda swallows saliva and just sounds too deep,therefore he forces it more in the booth.

As for the Clothes,a bit repetitive and id like a bit more extravagant kicks and a bit more color but hey,not that important,but if i had a wish about Em's clothes,is for him to put on a fitted.

I could care less how the man walks/looks or w/e... But what I do care for is delivery/breathcontrol/voice... People can say w/e they like, but to me it seems obvious that all the screaming has a negative impact on his delivery, breathcontrol & voice. Anyone disagree?

Here's Eminem in 2009, finishing every verse of 'Underground', with a sharp delivery that we've not seen since (as far as I can remember)... And yes, Em doesn't move a single feet in this performance, but everything else is spot on, imo! Also, this is before the recording sessions of Recovery, before the "scream-delivery".

Brilliant, imo. Could Em pull off this today, without loosing his voice half-way through each verse? Maybe, but I have my doubts, sadly.

I think beacause hes moving alot on stage he hasnt enough breath to deliver right.
And i think hes moving alot because thats the move he does when hes raping thats how he fell his music, like someone who plays piano, they also do very strange moves with their face.
So let him walk like a duck, if he want to. Its em, its only him who can pull something like this off.

[Hadez]

^ Yes, but still.. Where did that duckwalk come from? It's really weird how he was walking normally and shit during Relapse then he just started to walk like he has a something shoved in his ass.

The duck walk is because he's wearing his pants below his ass. he didn't use to have them like that. look at old performances, his pants were baggy but he could keep them up. you can tell because he had no problems standing and jumping with his feet together. watch him now and his legs are always spread wide. his pants will fall off if he doesn't.

faggot

edit: and of course he didn't walk like a duck on renegade or underground. because he stood in 1 single spot. if you think standing completely still is better, then, that's just.. i dont even...

[Amaranthine]

I really dislike Em's performaces from 2009. He moves all jerky, like a robot. 2010 was better, and now his movements look natural onstage.

[UofLCard]

I'm more of a fan of Eminem's earlier music, and even I'm sick of this discussion.

[Koolo2010]

He is trying to change. He doesnt want to be known as "the guy who's mom is crazy and so is his wife. So i took drugs and ditched my kids to get ride of all the pain." He wants to be know as " i took drugs and i dont want to go back so i am changing so people think better of me." Thats what Recovery is all about.
