    It's hard to recapture someone that just pops on the radar, that people actually think is insane. We know Eminem is harmless now so it's almost impossible for him to recapture it. When he first came out I actually believed he's insane

    Cap, I will had the closest vocals to his fight music era then anything we've heard. This song isn't even a complete song, more like a freestyle sess

    I would argue that he has made songs that prove he can return to form but most of them are around that 15 year mark. It's been way too long.

    At this point you gotta wonder if Em's early career wasn't just lightning in a bottle. I think even the most hardcore stan has to admit he's been bad longer than he's been good

    That is our concept of the album. Doesn’t mean it’s his concept of the album. All he’s said is slim shady is dead. The devil baby…ok well he was also doing the devil horns on mmlp2 and blonde hair and look what we got. He just chainsawed a body with a Jason mask for a track that rapped about absolutely nothing…Tobey is him literally rapping like he’s been rapping for the last 6 years. There is gonna be more of that s--- on the album. Some tracks will hit hard I bet. But some will be meh as well. Some will probably just be bad.

    Houdini is his best song after TES. But yes he's been horrible since mmlp2

    I don't rank Houdini as highly as most people here but I agree that it was a big step in the right direction.

    Best song since TES is insane. Encore had better songs and we haven't gotten to anything that came out after that.

    The answer is he’s tasteless, I think it’s the company he keeps that steers him in the right direction, especially early on.

    It’s kind of crazy. Cause you take those first 3 albums away and there is no talk about being the greatest of all time. Those albums do exist. So his whole existence and level of popularity all stems from like 4 years of making music. The last 20 years have been not very impressive when it comes to actual full albums. Some of those albums have been quite bad. Just not very coherent or pleasant to listen to. I think the last few years have been better. But also it’s kind of boring at this point. He was just too great in the beginning to ever be able to live up to expectations aside from the average d-ck riders who will say anything he puts out is great. Was absolutely lightning in a bottle. Something no one will be able to recapture. A piece of hip hop history.

    His old a--- definitely would think those are real reactions too, not realizing it's bs.

    I would argue that those albums are the reason people don't like his new stuff. If he came out with relapse and recovery, people would have still be highly impressed with his attitude, story telling, and insane concepts.

    Same with kamikaze and m2bmb.

    The only album that if he had came in with where people would have wrote him off is revival

    Do what you want broh but I would advise against it. It's been proven time and time again that defending me is s80 career suicide. See for ex: zeb and $kux.

    I just wished during Eminem's emo rock period, he collabed with real rock goats. Like greenday, system of a down, Marilyn manson, and ozzy Osbourne. What a f---ing waste. Pink, Skylar, and whatever other corn balls
