He reached his zenith during the 8 mile soundtrack. Em was sick on that soundtrack. Relapse had a few great joints, but after that, he went downhill.
jaz hasnt had a good album since 2003
waits for "AG" is classic![]()
1 hot album every 10yr average![]()
AG was dope as fukk, and a helluva lot better than ANYTHING Eminem has done post TES.
Which is proof that lyrics ain't everything. If you're about making music, DO THAT...if you want to keep proclaiming that you're so "lyrically gifted" then go write a book.
You can throw Lupe in there too.
I like GOOD MUSIC. All that spitting for rapping's sake ain't cool at the end of the day.
music is about feeling and it's objective lmao
Good post.I'ma just bump relapse and cross my fingers in hopes that this new album isn't completely horrible.
Dude is still nice he just doesn't really know what he wants to do it seems, there is nothing to fight for/against at this point and that's when he's at his best, when he's responding, or has some kind of struggle. Relapse was him fighting his shadow which is why even with all the criticism you have joints on there that just can't be denied. His last "challenge" on recovery was more about bouncing back as some kind of force within the top 40...it worked but that shyt ain't real, it ain't real enough to push him to where he needs to be at.
If the records sell and the singles chart, his kids are grown and seem to be halfway normal, he's sober and seems to have made peace with proof's passing...da fukk is driving him? Being nice? His legacy? If he doesn't feel accomplished in those areas at this point he'll never be satisfied, and it shows in his current day material.
