Eminem - MMLP 2 - NOV. 5, 2013 NO SNIPPET DISCUSSION

[CanadaPure]

There was rumors about it around December/January and he has been refrencing God recentley in a few verses like on my life and the bridge he did on the slaughterhouse album. It definitley is all just rumor though but i just got a strong feeling a portion of the album may be based on that. What makes you think majority of his fans wouldn't like that? i could understand his athiest fans for example but i defo can't see majority having a problem with that theme

Because the last thing any of his fans would expect is a Christian album, it's just something I cannot see being popular. Everyone would be all "Eminem's gone soft as hell".

Is there any part of you that truly believes Eminem would make an album about his born again Christianity? I'm sure he knows that wouldn't go over well with the majority of his fans.

"God help me before I commit some irresponsible acts again.." - Still Don't Give a fuck
"I'm thankful for the talent in which God gave me.." - Never Enough
"..feel it or not you're gonna fear it like I showed you the spirit of God lives in us" - Til I collapse
"I don't give a fuck, God sent me to piss the world off" - My Name Is
"I appreciate the prayer, but I've already got God on my side" - CWYWF
"Frozen Manaquin, posted stiffer than a statue I think I'm dying, God is that you?" - L,D,D

The guy has been referencing God here and there since Infinite. And the rumor is false--Paul denied it. It wasn't believable in the first place.

That is true he has been actually doing that here and there from the start. I think he is more spiritual now though. From my understanding he has always been a christian, came from a christian family but wasn't deep into it. But he started to wear the crucifix cross around 2009. Did Paul deny that he is born again or did he deny the album theme will be this?

"But in the mist of this insanity, I found my Christianity
Through God and there's a wish he granted me
He showed me how to cope with the stress
And hope for the best, instead of mope and depressed
Always groping a mess, of flying over the nest
To selling dope with the rest
I quit smoking cess to open my chest"-It's OK

Did Paul deny that he is born again or did he deny the album theme will be this?

It seems like the former.

[CanadaPure]

In a way that's classic Em, being an unexpected presence.

But no, he barely references God and he has done it throughout his career like on "8 Mile", "Evil Deeds" and "Mosh".

It still wouldn't be a Christian album. Songs might reference his Christianity, but it wont be a whole album.

I can rap that entire song. And I almost always ejaculate when he gets to that "succumb/scum" scheme.
But to respond to BlueberryWun....he's been referencing God throughout his entire career so that's irrelevant. He's NOT going to drop a Christian album.

As an atheist,im gonna be really disappointed if Em talks about him being a christian.......

I never expected a christian album per say i also don't think anyone who heard these rumors did in the sense of him rapping about the bible, rapping about how people who are not christian should become 1, rappin about moses, mary etc. More so i could see him doing an album about praising God in a more general way like DMX does for example. Em has had sensitive songs all the way from his first album so disagree with that alot of them tend to be a lotta his fans fave too. Spirituality is also very important in Hip Hop some of the toughest rappers like DMX, 50 Cent, 2pac have never been ashamed of their beliefs and unlike Em DMX and 50 lived a certain lifestyle in the street where as Em wasn't ever a street dude like that.

I think majority of his fans are christian though or come from a backround where they believe in god at the very least. It wouldn't be everyone cup of tea hearing that especially an athiest like you but just speaking generally i think most would be excited as long as the quality of the music is good. Those of his fans who are christian or even those who believe in God but follow another religion even i am sure would appreciate hearing this.

I can safely say that a lot of my heavily Christian friends wouldn't even want an album with too much Christian or god related subject matter on it. A mention here or there they'd probably be fine with because he's always done that.

[Despicable]

I read that rumor about EM,sure hope it aint true.If he comes with some God or born again Christian shit i aint gonna buy it.I will be super disappointed if that was the case.Thats the last thing i wanna hear from him.

Hope he comes with some dark stuff but i doubt he will,im afraid he will come with some soft shit.

Hope he has alot of Dre beats on it and that he does his own hooks and not sample alot of stuff like he did on Recovery,half the albums hooks was done by someone else,that was disappointing.
And i hope he has a some real features on it,Kendrick,maybe Jay z or Tyler.No rihanna or pink.

As a Christian I never take seriously rappers talking about God in their songs... I mean rappers who are either on gang related shit or shock value all over the place like in the cases with X & Em respectively.

X is way outta the picture as a feat. anyway though... Dude's not well at all. I hope he's gonna get it together.

If the rumor/speculation about the album theme being about his born again christian spirituality i can see DMX featuring on a song. That would be really awesome to hear X and Em on a collab

Is there any part of you that truly believes Eminem would make an album about his born again Christianity? I'm sure he knows that wouldn't go over well with the majority of his fans.

yeah but the point of being an artist is to make music the artist likes. yall niggas talk about how yall like Em making his own music so if hes diggin the christian shit then let him do it.

Agreed with this an artist should always do what he or she feels they want to write about. But i can't see the argument that his fans would in any form dislike it if he did. I think as long as the music is good it would actually be enjoyed

That is just entertainment though. You can't judge a small portion of DMX or Em's music. Especially since a core principle is that everyone is a sinner and that is what Jesus died for.
