What do you think of Eminem's abuse of playback?

[Raul]

Come on, Shuttle.

On topic: Sometimes the playback was too loud and annoyed me, but I understand the use of it (when it's Em'), so, I don't think it's too bad.

I wonder people still complaining about the playback and stuff. I mean comon guys Marshall's almost 41 when he comes up on stage look at all the hype he get; what else do you guys want him to do except running and jumping around? Standing beside a stand mic like he's on the Spelling bee competition or something?

[shoaibkhanz]

Infact if i were you i'd probably go nuts to see him for real

[Shuttle Destroyer]

No he doesn't sound the same live and in the stuido...was that proper English?! Sorry.

It ddoes sound different.

Yes, that was.

Matter of fact, I'd like to suggest that, next time you see me murder the grammar of your beloved language, you try to educate me with your superior english skills and try to point out what I got wrong, and not just complain about it like a douchebag. Then, maybe I don't end up bothering you again with my non native speaker, full-of-mistakes english.

The fuck is wrong with you?! I was asking if I was using proper grammar in my sentence....

In that case, I'm sorry then
Wow lol No hard feelings, Kiki

:laughing: Come on, Shuttle.

Ignore that, my man lol

Of course I wouldn't be complaining about playback at the show while I'm watching his performances with my own eyes but I sure will afterwards. Sounding exactly the same live as on albums is one of the things I love the most about him...Really, I hate artists who can't sing live no matter how great albums they have. Whether an artist can perform live well or not is quite important to me.

[Despicable]

I fucking hate it.
Its embarrassing that he uses playback so much.He almost didnt rap at the Pukkelpop show,it was 90% playback.
Fucking disappointing.

I dont understand why people her gives EM a pass for that shit,he needs to stop with it.
People who goes to his shows wanna see him rap live,not see him run around on stage using playback.
If he uses it because he moves around on stage so much than he fucking needs to calm down.

I would much rather see EM standing in one spot rapping songs live instead of seeing him moving around and using playback.

If it's embarrassing than your life and emotions are too invested in this man who doesn't know you exist.

Tickets to concerts are still pretty expensive, that's why I can't go to his concert in Paris despite the fact that I'm French and I don't live really far from Paris I can understand why people might feel kinda frustrated.

But I didn't mind his Brussel concert , or the Slane Castle one. I mean yes, maybe there was some playback, but he still sang most of the time in my opinion, you can feel it, he's still totally performing the songs even if sometimes he's not really singing it, like Criminal or JDGAF. Not sure if you see what I mean

Are you serious?
EMs concerts cost alot of money for fucks sake,the least people should expect of him is him rapping live.

If you support him using playback than you have no standards at all.
You remind of the stans out there who thinks everything EM does is perfect and he cant do no wrong.

And you think my life is too invested in him? LOL

Could not have put it better myself. +1

I agree, I was very disappointed with the play back abuse. He should use only instrumentals, otherwise is not a concert

I have to agree. I'm not sure thats all his decision tho either

Live band perfoming the instumentals, background singers on the hook, one mic to Em and another to Mr. Porter. That's all you need.

What would an Em concert with no playback at all sound like? Just a beat and Em spitting

Em [2009] concert:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUBe5VhjPBw

Virtually no playback in the verses (exception: Beautiful).

Listen to 'Underground' and 'Insane' for example, he fuckin' kills that shit.

[guesswhosback08]

Yeah I've seen that he does kill it, does being 4 years older mean he can't do that anymore? That was a release party in Detroit so he gave it his all but he hasn't spit like that live in awhile

[CanadaPure]

Who gives a fuck.
