Let me find out Eminem is low key underated as a producer "The Coli told me he was trash"

[BK The Great]

nikka....

Let me just spell it out for you since you're being a doofus:

an·a·log
adjective
relating to or using signals or information represented by a continuously variable physical quantity such as spatial position, voltage, etc.
"analog signals"

Analog = physical. Actual live instruments, whether sampled or actually played in the studio.

Digital = electronic. Keyboards.

So Em's stuff digitalized?

Who knows, but the terms you were using have zero to do with what you're trying to say

That Rakim song isn't produced by Em. He did more than add strings to "Many Men". Again, ya'll equate making a beat to producing a song, which is in error. Nas had the original "Many Men" beat first and even made a song with it, but it is unreleased. That beat possibly sounds different than what we hear with 50.

There's a reason those strings are added and why Eminem even did anything to the beat in the first place. Production is marrying the artist with the music and whatever needs to be done to accomplish that (adding, subtracting, adjusting the volume on instruments) is a part of that process even if it crosses over into engineering.

The Rakim song sounded like his usual lifeless production That being said are you really making the argument that he was a good producer? I don’t understand the point of this post.

Yeah those 2 joints were him at his peak on production, and the sound hadn't been run into the ground yet. That was like '02 right? That Aftermath sound wasn't stale quite yet.

That Love Me joint on 8 Mile with 50 and Obie was pretty dope. Till I Collapse was dope. The 8 Mile title track was cool.

Edit: I'd add Devil's Night by D12 too. Also 2002 I think. Instigator was hard as fukk and Pistol Pistol was dope.

I like American Psycho too, dope piano beat



But still all these songs have co-producers so its hard to tell what Em contributed to them if anything. He's also been making music for over 20 years so there's gonna be some good beats in there but I still think the bad outweighs the good by a lot.

 

[ThirdAct]

Also hot take I guess but I don't think Til I Collapse is that a good of a beat. It's aight but kinda fake melodramatic. Helps Nate was on it, he could make any song better.

I'm saying he had his moments. Not everything he did was wack. He's not someone that if I seen his name in the credits I would be hyped for. At the same time, I wouldn't automatically assume it was going to be wack either.

He didn't even produce Stan or Many Men. LOL!!

That was 45 King and Digga.

Em is an average producer. He's a big time artist, so the songs become bigger because of who he is. But if you gave those beats to just some random artist, no one would be asking about the producer. His tracks have always been just okay.

Yall need to research who Luis Resto is

Resto is basically Scott Storch, but without the drums.

When Em has keys on his tracks, chances are, that was Resto. Intro for Lose Yourself, that was him. He's been around forever, but started getting love when he hopped on the Em records.

 

[TripleAgent]

He had some moments, but this is the Coli, so everything he did besides the Eminem Show has to be downplayed.

And he didn't produce Stan. On Fire either IIRC

That’s the thing. His production fit who he was as an artist. I mean, he usually produced for other cats tracks when he was featured so he has never been a producer shopping beats & shyt. All things considered I think it is dope he would produce his own joints with his signature sound. Not bangers on their own right but just fit his style.

And this basically what production is. That's what separated God's Stepson from God's Son. Those 9th beats were crazy, but something like "Warrior's Song" lacked the energy and the urgency of the original even though 9th's beat is better. Same goes for "The Cross", which is an Eminem beat, but 9th's remix doesn't capture the anger or how candid Nas was on the original. I can't listen to that plodding, skeletal Eminem beat on its own, but it worked for that song even though the beat isn't crazy.

Exactly. You have to take that into account. Eminem was really producing and pumping out hit records left & right. A track like Cleaning out my Closet for example. That’s a tremendous beat for that record if that makes sense. Like you said, not just anybody gonna hop on that beat and make a smash hit. It was Eminem’s signature sound that just worked like magic.

Eminem was actually dope up until he completely screwed up Loyal To The Game. It was downhill from there. Don't even get me started on T.I.'s "Touchdown" and some of his other work since 2004.
