Old Eminem vs New Eminem

[Cupid Stunt]

Alright, I know EVERYONE likes the old Eminem more.
Eminem was mainstream in 1999-2004, and he's mainstream now. So in like 10 years when Eminem release a track everybody will be like: "Oh I miss the old 2012 Eminem, you know, when he was good". Just wanted to say that.

But if the Old 2000 blonde Eminem rap battled the new Eminem, who would win? and why?
I think that the new Eminem would win, he's better lyrically, and he has this "deeper" voice, which I think is cooler than his high pitched voice.

And no, i'm not a new recovery fan. I've been an Eminem fan for a long time.

But there's nothing bad you can say about the old Em (1998-2003), and there's so much shit you can say about the new Em (with the focus being on the musical aspect). So old Em wins by default; and he was also better in every way back then.

Old eminem. he'd call himself a pussy and his wit was too razor sharp to fuck with. i mean, he's still witty now, but back then, goddamn

Well, yeah, you're right. I also think that the old EMINEM is better, but if the old Eminem actually came to 2012, and rap battled against the new Eminem. I think that the New Eminem would have been more violent, more hungry, and kill the old Eminem lyrically.

Em was hungry on that cypher, if he had that high pitched voice it could be something that came straight from The Marshall Mathers LP. But I agree with you, except that the old Em' would win.
And Eminem is starting to become that "I don't give a fuck" guy, that he used to be. :P

Well, tbh, I just listened to I remember, and I kinda changed my mind. I think the old Em' would murder the new Eminem. lololololo.

[Emadyville]

its hard to say too because no one has tested the new em, the only diss track we have in the past what 6-8yrs is the warning...which is dope but at mariah

[RKOunion]

Old Eminem. No contest.

[Mathers]

There is no old or new Eminem.

[K Reidy]

what about the middle era eminem? people seem to be comparing 1999-01 to 2010-12

[limea]

Well the "old" Em you're talking about is really just Eminem in his prime. And of course prime Eminem is better, that's why it's considered his prime.

'Old' Eminem would win hands down. The new Em would be too scared he'd say something to upset the 14-year old slut fans, or annoy the parents who have just managed to accept him.

That's a 180 bro, unless he went from God to dog back to God.

I think old eminem (97-03) would destroy any rapper EXCEPT new Eminem. Eminem knows too much about all the fucked up shit he was going through back then. He would pick apart old Eminem's insecurities, the drug use, the racist tapes that hadn't emerged, the jailbait he was fucking. In fact he could pretty much sub Ja's name out of most of the pill popping disses aimed toward him and put old Eminem's name in front of it.

Who here can tell me they wouldn't be able to pick their old self apart?
