I mean, I respect that, Im an eminem fan and im not like that.

In fact I was gonna make as thread saying that Eminem most probably is gonna fall off with this album from the tracks I've heard but it doesn't matter. one bad album doesn't diminish his legendary status, Jay-Z came out with a bad album; Kingdom Come wich was probably his worst, and then came back with American Gangster.

If he makes 2 lousy album in a row, well then... it might be time to hang up the mic...

This is why em never gets better nobody admits when he makes horrible music so he can never improve.

I agree with not liking Em fans who try to force themselves to like stuff.
But I don't agree with your statement there.

As far as never improving, I mean he was in his prime from 97-03, you really can't improve after that, you either stay the same or regress (like most rappers do). Although I do think this most recent album took some steps forward in some areas - his delivery is the most normal it has been in a while, and it feels like there's more substance/character to a number of these tracks compared to what was on Relapse/Recovery. He didn't seem to have too many corny punchlines in comparison to Recovery either. Unfortunately there are some bad tracks and styles that were steps backwards too (I personally think the country sounding beats and horrible production on a few tracks was a step back, I also thought the singing in STIW was a step back).

As far as nobody ever admitting when he makes bad music - he seemed to catch a lot of flack for Relapse and the accents (which in retrospect may not have been completely justified imo since Relapse had some bright spots), and he obviously heard it. He also obviously heard the complaints about Recovery being too mainstream/pop - and I think he was able to get away from that kind of sound with MMLP2.

Also I think part of the problem with Recovery and Hell The Sequel was that they were rushed.
Relapse - May 15, 2009 / Refill - Dec 21, 2009 / He said in May that he was scraping Relapse 2
Recovery - June 18, 2010
Hell: The Sequel - June 14, 2011

He basically only took a year to make Recovery and HTS. In the past he was able to get away with putting out albums/songs nonstop and the quality didn't suffer, but I don't think that's something he can do anymore.

Encore- Wack
Relapse- Decent at best
Recovery- Terrible
Bad Meets Evil- Trash
MMLP2- More Trash
Am I lying?

And I'm far from an Em hater. I actually think his first 3 albums are classics but everything since then has been :scusthov:

Em on that slide. I remember getting into an argument one time a year ago with my homie (just happens to be white) because no one is allowed to ever criticise Em. Eminem is in the top 10 of all time in my opinion but relapse and everything that has come after it has been trash. You get the same sort thing with nikkas and Hov though, theres still people on here tryna push MCHG as a classic.
