    First off forgive if this has already been covered. I haven’t found anything on this yet.

    He’s basically asking the fans / haters what type of style do you really want to hear for him? (Make up your minds!)

    I’m interested in hearing your thoughts on this.

    Disorderly Progress What's cookin?

    I don't want to tell him what I want to hear!

    I want him to know what he wants to hear himself, or find it. Then make that!

    He's not a fkn corporation trying to deliver a product. He's supposed to be an artist.

    If he thinks he should be trying to give people what they want to hear... it's time to quit. As an artist - that's the lamest s--- ever.

    Eminem is suppose to be some sort of genius right? He says he gives people old eminem and they b----. He doesn't give anyone old eminem. He gives us a poor impression of old eminem. How does he not know that when he plays the s--- back. Just be genuine. It's not rocket science. It's not just because he too old. It just sounds fake and corny. He developed accents to make it obvious he's joking when he's talking about killing females. He wants it to be noticeble when he's in character. Even on the new album he slips in and out of accents depending on the content being said. Then s----s all over relapse. This guy makes no sense when he talks.

    I agree I’d rather hear Eminem make whatever he wants to make. The fans will either rock with it or not depending on their preferences.

    That's why his music sucks nowadays. He tries too hard to please everyone instead of making s--- for himself or what he feels is good.

    Earlier in his career he didn't give a f---. He had his style and put out the stuff he felt was good which turned out to be great. Nowadays he's just trying to do what others are doing or trying to recreate what he used to.

    Go back to Dre production, flow like he did on The Warning and make music with replay value again. Simple.

    eminem is so full of s---, the warning is the closest we got to old eminem and I didnt hear anyone complain about that track?
    so was deja vu, no one has ever complained about that one either.
    if by old eminem he means mmlp2 then hes completely delusional and a lost cause bc that aint old eminem which is where lies the problem with him.

    believe was pretty decent tho.

    Problem with this theory is that if he done this we would get an album full of Remind Me, Heat and Offended. Those are the songs he seems to have the most fun making. Let him make what he wants and it's just that.

    I don't see any problem with asking for feedback. Feedback shapes us as people, including artists.

    Produce his own album. Everything else will fall into place.

    Edit- Nevermind. BASS BROTHERS.

    As a fan I like to see growth with an Artist I’ve rocked with for years. Believe, Castle, Arose. Those songs are absolutely perfect.

    He shouldn’t be scared to use his own vocals when doing hooks. We all know he can’t sing (said so on TES). But he can pull off just enough to get by like; “Careful What You Wish For”, “Love You More” & “Beautiful”. He made those work fantastically on so called “s--- albums”.

    Eminem is a follower not a leader.

    Lacks the confidence to do anytging in his own.

    I'm convinced the Bass Brothers were hugely responsible for his much of his great work. Lets not forget before he met them had just released Infinite which was Eminem biting Nas & the sound that was popular during that time.
