Eminem got clout, right? So why continue to go the Pop route with his music?

[I love Latina women]

he makes wack music. he could have made this true hip-hop album a few times already, but instead he rhymed over his own wack ass production

Yeah.
His production is some of the most bland shyt.
All his beats have the same damn drum pattern, lmao!

I just found this article/interview him and Paul Rosenberg did back in January of this year.
I ain't read all of it yet, I've only skimmed it a bit but it looks like an interesting read

Eminem and New Def Jam CEO Paul Rosenberg on Early 'Broke Days,' Courting Controversy and Hip-Hop's Future

If u Hip Hop, why make a Pop album?

dude has no clue how to make "hip hop music" which why he makes the shyt he does.

Well, he knows how to write lyrics, spit rhymes, and flow; well he did at 1 point. lol
But my point is, why not seek out great producers like Premier, Alchemist, and Black Milk to help make Hip Hop songs.
He probably make the shyt he do cause of the label and all the yes men he got around him.

And I know in my original post I asked why he ain't never did songs with Redman, Masta Ace, Nas, Andre 3000 (even tho he has done a song w/ Redman)
I meant in regards to collaborating when it comes to his albums.

The problem with Relapse was it was it was him trying to go back to 2000 like The Marshall Mathers LP.
The only reason that album gained interest was cause it'd been 5 years since his last solo release and then given his story with drugs.
But Revival, Recovery and The Marshall Mathers LP 2 have all been some of the most bland and generic albums.
Revival was the most puzzling album he's ever done.

Yeah, the fact that he was doing a Ken Kaniff skit in 2013, with the exact same joke as the Relapse skit, lets you know he's been running on fumes for a while now.

I know Relapse wasn't for everyone (I thought it was dope), but that was the last time Eminem actually sounded like his old self for an entire project. Subject matter aside, his flow and delivery were five-star. Like the way he ended the second verse of "Insane":

"Ain't he raw? Yeah, maniac, that's Shady, dog
Man, that motherfukker's gangsta, ain't he, dog?
Shady, dog, what be going through that fukking brain of yours?
Say no more, what the fukk you waiting for? Sing along"

Everyone kept saying he sounded off and even Eminem looks at that album as him relearning how to rap. No, his albums after that sound like he's relearning how to rap. Compare what he was doing on Relapse to "Not Afraid" or "No Love" a year later. It doesn't even sound like the same rapper.

If he had dropped Relapse 2 like he was going to, ignored what everyone was saying and kept his flow/delivery from that period, his later years wouldn't have been so bad. But then he switched up everything because he wanted to be more like Taylor Swift and Katy Perry instead of Nas and Jay-Z.

If he didn't do all that hollering and them weird voices and had different topics and subject matter it wouldn't be bad.

Yeah, I see what u saying.
IMO, that album was just him like going full throttle with shyt and just going over the top with shyt but repeating himself with annoying ass voices.
But I do see what u saying when u speak on him actually rhyming on Relapse compared to the albums that have come out since then.
It crazy how he's really more like Taylor or Katy than Nas or Jay-Z when it comes to being artist tho.
But again, that's cause his ass stay making Pop shyt! lmao

 

[AlainLocke]

Eminem is a cash cow for Interscope, he went diamond twice... he ain't gonna make "Hip Hop" like that...ever

That's asking why Michael Jackson never made a soul album.

 

[GeeEffKay]

its funny cause if he actually made a dope hip hop album with some legends and or just dope rappers in general, it wouldve sold way more than this bs he did with these pop acts

the fact that he keeps going the recovery route shows how out of touch he is

 

[Evil Grandson]

relapse ruined his career. nikka should be trading bars with Jay-z and Nas. Not doin sht with Pink and skyler grey.

 

[Born2BKing]

Because it wouldn't sell

BULLshyt
