They got the original Green Lantern mixtape leaks on this :banderas:


Eminem going back and finishing "Jimmy, Brian, and Mike" makes sense now, because I swore his voice sounded like modern-day Eminem at times.

It makes me wonder if he could make an entire album with that old-school sound. The Dre/Bass Brothers sound. I know he can make songs like that ("Stepping Stone"), and Dre can make beats like that ("She Loves Me," part one of "Discombobulated"), so it's just getting in the studio and doing it.

I would have liked to see what a marginally successful Eminem's career would have been like. Him touching pop star status ruined his work ethic. He is very content eating off nostalgia.

Em has had his own label for years and has never gone on a run like Nas did with kings disease or gave the streets a look like the magic. He still felt the need to make pop syrup with Skyler mediocre. The love ain't there... But he want rap god status. Anyway his fans will eat this up. What's new.

He NEVER had any subject matter, once he finished telling his story he was pretty much done. Has a huge passion for rhyming but that's more or less his only talent, everything else is not that great.
Also it's very UNFAIR to compare anybody to Nas, not everybody can be GOAT, the 98-03 output is amazing but that's it.

Nas is a "classic" type of rapper, mecca of hip hop through his veins, Em is a battle tested emcee that came up when the WHITE population was ready to fully embrace hip hop, him and Dre struck lightning in a bottle and they lived off that for the rest of their careers.

In his prime though, Slim was possibly the most entertaining and funny rapper of all times. There's a reason why drugs are in a lot of cases a creative force...

Sing for the moment is probably my favorite off TES, should've came up with a MUCH better video, but I get it when you're on top of the world, time is not your ally.

The fact he went back in there and finished it is wild. Cause he literally sounded exactly how he sounded in 2002 :wow:

I went back and listened to “Revival” today (don’t ask :hubie:) and when you get to the last 3 tracks, “In My Head,” “Castle,” and “Arose,” it’s vintage Em. Same voice, flow, all that.

“Kamikaze“ and “Music To Be Murdered By” is an example of if Em WANTS too, he can sound normal and go RIGHT back to how he sounded during his peak years.

It’s THERE..it’s just for whatever reason he just chooses not to do it :mindblown:

Like I said…if he WANTS too he could do it. I just feel his manager Rosenberg and the people around him still think it’s the early 2000s and feel he still needs to stick to the same ole formula.

At this rate Em is pushing 50, about to get inducted into the Rock N Roll HOF, and he has nothing else to prove. He has one of the biggest and by far the most loyal fan bases in music.

Rap fans been begging him for YEARS just to drop the gimmicks and just give us an album for the hip-hop heads.

For example:


When he FEELS like it he could do it..

The year 3030
there's some actual care put into this one...was hoping for a say goodbye instrumental, but the ones chosen aren't too bad..

The live stuff is whatever, but the "new" track is a nice surprise

Surprised he put the Conspiracy freestyle on there...shoulda put all 3 of'em.

Funny enough I played his entire discography for the first time in years this week, that run between SSLP to Eminem Show was legendary :wow: Eminem Show was his magnum opus, it relied more on skill and social commentary rather than shock factor

Even his "good" music has aged like milk.


A lot of it is dated with old shock value raps from the early 2000's. I prefer The Eminem Show & 8 Mile along with the Green Lantern mixtapes he dropped. That was prime Em, along with the diss songs.

Sometimes I forget just how much charisma ‘Em had back during this era. Listening to The Conspiracy Freestyle and it just seems so effortless to him. Modern ‘Em doesn’t even come close to that type of delivery and carefreeness. He sounds so robotic, void of fun and emotionless nowadays.
