Em is getting older, how much longer can he go?

[Blu]

I believe Em is an incredible artist, his age doesn't define his work. Also, I'm pretty sure his recent work shows how incredible he's been doing; "Our House", "Throw That", the BET Cypher from last year, they all indicate that his next album will be huge.

Our House and Throw That were....incredible?
You must on that saaaaaame shit Whitney used to shove up Bobby's nose.

[Slim Fiasco]

I think the next album will be his last solo one.

I think the next album will be his last solo one.

until beginning of 2012, i was thinking Em would pump out 2 more albums. But now don't know why it feels like next will be his last album.
would be cool if he releases back to back sequel albums that he initially planned with Relapse. or even a double disc concept album. anyways whatever he does, I NEED TWO MORE CD's. PERIOD.

[Guess_Who]

People here talk about turning 40, like if it was the end of the world. As long as he can still do it well...why, no? His last performances were great.

[Slim Fiasco]

Honestly, it depends on the quality. Relapse, Encore, and Recovery do nothing for me, so even if they weren't released they wouldn't have changed anything for me. I don't listen to them. Now I admit, the hype surrounding an album release is well worth it, but if I end up disappointed and if the albums have no replay value for me, I wouldn't mind if he retires.

And guys, would you really like to see Em performing at 50? That's like watching Jordan playing for the Wiz, it's just not the same and he's messed up his legacy enough already.

[Guess_Who]

Yeah of course I wouldn't like to see him with 55, out of breath in a stage, but as long as he keeps doing good ...his last performances were great as I said, so I think we shouldn't be worry by the moment.

Getting older shouldn't effect it... in fact, with great artists it often makes it richer. I feel Em is one of those artists, as his writing in many respects has gotten richer in areas, more adult.

You say 'not much to talk about' but that's not true. If the artist is creative... there's no age limit on creativity. Unless you just want him to talk about his own life constantly. Which to me is boring.

I used to think he would for some reason look ridiculous rapping at 40, just on paper, 'white 40 year old rapping' sounds very silly. But, he's managed to re-define it, if you look at like "Space Bound", it feels very toned and atmospheric, it doesn't feel like 'silly rap', and he has a better look now.

So, I think he can go on as long as he wants but, I think he'll probably make like 2-3 more max.

Agree

Being 40 isn't the end of the world!! No one said that shit when Jay turned 40 and people still aren't complaining about Jay.

[AJS2050]

Right now he is in good shape and enjoying himself again. I can see a few more albums. I think his music will just mature when he is in his 40's. Not many people wanna hear a 40+ year old rap about throwing dicks on girls.

[Sam.]

He'll rap till he's fossil fuel.

/Thread.

[Kill You]

I see two more solo albums, including the one he's working on now...maybe another BME project sometime too. I don't see D12 happening ever again...

[Unlyricallyrics]

The thing is that if Eminem keeps doing whatever he is doing now (like bme:hts) no one wants to listen to him anymore cos it gets repetitive and frankly obnoxious to hear 40 year old man doing songs about jerking off to hannah montana or whatever. And even if some people keep doing music till they die, it's easier with other music genres than it is with hip hop. He cant make an album full of space bound or he will taint his legacy even more so to say.
I feel that Eminem is prolly gonna drob one solo album more and stick to producing after that.
Ofc I'd like to see him drobbing more albums but i dont see that happening + he should go on a world tour.

Within reason, I don't think age is the limiting factor. As long as he can continue to put out solid material, I'm not bothered about his age.
