    Punchline rap is overrated. I know it's a 2010 meme that "lil Wayne sucks!!" but I've actually never been super into him because he is the pun similie punchline goat. Eminem bit lil Wayne's whole thing when it comes to that and has never stopped. I've never cared for it. There was some amazing examples of eminem doing it like the whole sub machine gun/subliminal scheme on not alike, or the reign/mist scheme on stepping stone, but those are expertly crafted and work even if you dont catch the wordplay.

    Eminem's forte was always creative imagery, and that's why there was no punchline s--- on his old stuff. I really miss the funny imagery stuff:

    "Grab a knife by the blade and stab you with the f---ing handle"

    "I dont need bullets, and soon as I pull it you sweat bullets"

    "As long as I've got pills and got plenty of pot, I'll be in a canoe paddling making fun of your yacht"

    "I s---t up the playground, and tell the kids to stay in school"

    And actually on discombobulated:

    "I just got an aids test and the doctor told me to think positive"

    Really hilarious imagery that I think is far more creative and intelligent than simple word flipping. Actually takes a sense of humor and is worked in instead of "euthanasia, like kids in tawain" bs a--- lines. Pretty much everyone has come up with their own "recovery" style bar, because it's not actually that hard.

    I would agree with you if all Eminem does is flip words around for a punchline. Maybe on Recovery he did that, but today, he carries a theme through multiple lines and connects it to something else. Like the bowling example in Alfred's Theme, or any number of examples, basically most of the punchlines are part of a scheme that runs through. That's the impressive part.

    I think it’s a bit too early for that, give it a few months when the dust has settled.

    It's not a big deal since they can keep it for BME2

    I get that he does these extended schemes with connected themes

    but take Book of Rhymes...is there any need for the Teste/testy/balls/bag scheme. Unnecessary

    I did until MTBMB. Em has given us more than enough rappity rap to satisfy us for the foreseeable, anymore wouldn’t be appreciated as much at this point personally.

    No, I'd rather have another Em's album this or next year than a project with Royce because I'm not a fan of that guy.

    And at this point Em shouldn't waste his time with anyone who tries to milk him as much as it's possible.

    Honestly what em needs to do is try out a 1 producer project. Was the rumor about the alchemist ep fake? I don't remember
