About Eminem's G-Shock event performance..

[Amaranthine]

I can't recall one bad thing to come from the G-Shock performance. The videos, his voice, the photos.. they all look great and he seems very comfortable.

You don't think the way he dresses is dull tho and you don't think he lost somethin in personalty from 2009 to now? He don't ever wear a snap back but that same old cap where as snap backs are a big part of the culture. He just seem real awkward

Who gives half a shit about what he wears?

[Devil'sAdvocate]

i quite like this performance,Em looks natural and not as uptight on stage,maybe he needs to work on the hand movement,but that would be me nitpicking.

I remember I saw somewhere that he hurt his knee and he had a surgery, that's why he used to have this awkward duck walk.

Anyway that's cool to see it's over

He mentioned in the Vibe article that he has always had problems with his knee. He finally got surgery to fix it but couldn't get any painkillers for it because it was the beginning stages of him getting sober.

[Amaranthine]

Actually he broke his knee playing b-ball with 50, had surgery to fix it, wasn't allowed pills for it, and scrounged the house and turned to other less legit sources for them. He told a story about hobbling around the house on crutches desperate for pills, and finding like one and half Vicodin in a napkin in the basement.

Way before Relapse, yeah I didn't know about that either. Must've missed it.

Maybe that's why he walks like that.. Naaaah. He didnt duck walk during the Relapse era.

Relapse era stage movements were awesome cuz he was playing a character.

I really like his stage presence here.

I do agree his best live performance lately has been that one you posted.

me too, I love these performances. his eyes are scary as fuck.
isnt scary how he looks into the camera at 1.00 and dissapers out of the view lol

"Pain is hitting his knee and his muscles be hurtin' him"

But as for his movements I think they have drastically improved since his comeback. I didn't really like his Relapse era movements tbh or his duck walk. On this performance and some more of the recent ones like Abu Dhabi you can definitely see he is a lot more confident out on stage.

[ShadyxEminem]

Lol, what "duck walk" are we talking about? Can someone show me a video?

[Amaranthine]

I thought his knee injury was common knowledge.

Shortly after detoxing, he suffered a knee injury that required surgery, but because of his drug abuse, he was not prescribed pain killers. "I started looking around my house to see if I had a stash box of Vicodin ... I'm ransacking my house, finally find something in the basement, in a little napkin, seven and a half Vicodin – the big extra strength ones – and a few Valium." With his pill addiction spiraling out of control again, Eminem suffered his second relapse before accepting he suffered from drug addiction.
