Is Eminem's problem that he just don't have anything to rap about now

[Carlton Banks]

It's actually not bad...

 

[beenz]

yeah...didn't andre 3K say he has the same problem?

Why couldn't him and Em switch places cause I'd much rather hear Dre rap about nothing than Em shout multi's for no reason...

ain't that the truth. I don't clamor for any eminem feature. but when I see 3K on any song, I take notice, cuz u know he's gonna spit flames.

Its cuz its rare. If Eminem didn't have multiple albums and just came out ever blue moon with a guess feature, that would be better than what he's been doing. Better for his legacy that is.

At least you acknowledging something been wrong with this nikka

I have two theories, either he always had a ghost writer and his new ghost writer is just trash

It's not really Eminem, but a body double he hired to be him to fulfill his contract, because he don't feel like rapper

or this nikka been living such a recluse life, he's just out of touch with music

I read what you said. I don't think Em has any problems in his rap career.

Em has nothing to rap about? I disagree. He's sober, still here, dropped an incredible verse on Nas' album where he shouted out MF DOOM. Go Em!

 

[Tony D'Amato]

It’s not just that. That’s part of it. But he also sounds like he’s trying way too hard on every song. He used to rap crazy but had way more of an effortless style. He sounds like he’s trying really hard to rap the craziest verse every time.

if this were hard rock, every Em verse would be a drum solo. There’s a time and place for that but he’s literally doing it on every verse.

Yes. But he's trying to use the blazing fast shyt to cover the fact he's not really saying shyt now.

Like I'm sure he's studied the dictionary, but I doubt he's read a book or is able to speak in detail about any subject thats not hip hop related.

His best music recently was shyt like the ringer. Where he's pissed and venting about something specific.

Em lives in mansion by himself and never leaves the house why are we surprised

 

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

His verse on EPMD would have been decent if it wasn't for the cartoonish voice

I personally don’t understand the hate. Why not celebrate two legends coming together to make music.

Nas obviously liked the verse enough to keep it on his album

Eminem said this is a big misconception. There are no paparazzi in Michigan, and he’s not an attention seeker to call the paps when he’s in New York or LA. That’s why people assume he doesn’t go anywhere.

This was a couple of weeks ago

 

[Crumple]

Aw come on! Lol

Dope, thanks for posting that Nas reaction vid!

MTBMB > Relapse

Kamikaze was better than Relapse but I know Relapse is revered on here as his last good album

No and no.

 

[Bondye Vodou]

ICP destroyed his career

I think it's the other way around, Feminem made dem clowns irrelevant.





































Anyways, Eminem never had shyt to rap about. Hailey Jade, His Slore Mother, Proof's death. That's it.

the problem is that yall keep talking content but really it's the execution of said content that is the root issue

which low key is the real key to being a dope emcee, lyricist, rapper, or non singular authorship rap performer. yes, WAY more important than content. WAY. how do you deliver your rhymes? is there rhythmic syncopation with the track that makes the head nod automatically? does whatever you're saying sound fly when it leaves your mouth? does the cadence & vocal intonations move you emotionally? is the voice rich, resonant, and leave an indelible mark on the listener? do the vocal leanings hug the track or fight the track? do you believe that line or lines in its conveyance of emotion?

eminem fails miserably in all these categories 90% of the time now. it's become a very forced try hard affair because with age & isolation he's lost that edge so now he's switched the rubric & says i'm going to technical rap you to death until you're in awe of my mastery. it is absolute trash. just listen to tim westwood microphone freestyle for that last semblance of shady's greatness. compare it to now and you're like yeah it's completely over b
