    Unless your a complete idiot I think we can all agree that 99-03 Eminem s----s on what he has done post hiatus

    But if you had to pick one aspect he's improved on since his comeback what would it be?

    Thats your opinion

    What (if any) aspect do you think he's improved on since his comeback compared to when he was at his best?

    If it wasn't for his earlier work he wouldn't even be in the spotlight right now and you probably wouldn't even know who he was

    IMO he has a bigger vocabulary right now, that helped him to improve on technical abilities and internal rhymes.

    Old Em was a rapper, New Em is a pop star. Plus New Em has absolutely no musical ability.

    Most answers will probably be about his technical abilities and more complex rhyme schemes i dont think he has improved in any other way since, and i don't think its even really an improvment he could always do it but he does it alot more often now to cover up the fact that most of his songs dont really have any meaning to them.

    One good point with the new Eminem (since 2010, not 2009), is that he tries, more than ever, to communicate messages of hope and courage to his listeners. It was particularly the case with the Recovery album and songs like Not Afraid, Talking to myself and Going trough change but also more recently with Legacy, Headlight, Stronger than i was and Guts over fear.
    The eminem we knew before hiatus barely did it, apart maybe from 2/3 songs on The Eminem Show :idk:

    Now that he is sober he is much more articulate during interviews; the old Em was like, you know, like, kinda like, you know what I'm sayin'.

    Personally I can't think of any other improvement.
