Sometimes, I wish Em was as mainstream as he used to be

[GoodGirlsGetGutted]

I like a lot of cult shit that most other people have never even heard of.
It would actually ruin it for me if one of my favorite obscure movies or artists suddenly became mainstream.
I'm a much bigger Em fan now than I used to be because Relapse is more cult than his other stuff and I feel more unique as a fan.
If Em got as mainstream as he once was, that would be a little disappointing to me personally.

[GoodGirlsGetGutted]

It would be awesome if he collabed with other mainstream artists on THEIR albums.
I don't want to look at the Relapse 2 tracklist and see Ne-Yo and Beyonce and Alicia Keys and shit.
But I agree he should do a little more guesting than he does.

Let's not forget that Eminem in his prime (2000-2003) didn't collab with the "Rihanna's", "Alicia Keys'", etc. either. He didn't mess with those kind of artists back then, so why should he now? Because Jay-Z is a whore and he does it? That's not valid reason enough.

I do agree, though, with the general message of this thread. I think Eminem should be more mainstream like he was 9 years ago -- but only on his own terms, and not following what every other artist is doing.

He's got enough fans, and good ones, shit look at this forum

HE doesn't need to collab with those people or that many other artists to get new fans, people know him, they either like him or they don't

I agree with you. Em doesnt need any1's help to be everywhere; he just has to give ppl what they want.

Psycho came on the radio earlier and they cut it off right before em's verse.

people know him, they either like him or they don't

[Fa-Q]

I know, everybody in the world used to jizz themselves whenever Em would make an appearence or do a live performance....now its just people on here

[gutawafang]

Same ah. I also want him to do shits like Without Me, Real Slim Shady, Lose Yourself. Songs that make him famous overnight.

[Alaine]

you guys don't get it don't you? when does artist need new fans? when they want to gain popularity for the whole career ahead. So why exactly does Eminem need that now? he had his time, now he's already past that. Why do you think he went back to "relapse" into his first 2 albums for? because that's the whole purpose of his comeback, to make music for himself and please the already-fans.

Just except the fact that he won't whore himself for public anymore, he's exposed his life for years and look what it repayed him: rehab & overdose. People should be happy that he even came back.
