Jan 19, 2026 at 6:47 PM Yeah. The nasle voice was deliberately to sound like that for his slim shady character. He said in a interview once that slim shady lp was a concept album for the character. He never meant to stick with it. I'm sure the older he got the harder it would be to do.
Jan 19, 2026 at 6:50 PM I don't think there was an 05 album. s--- sounds like 'Encore', he was taking jabs at MJ on 'Encore' anyway @ 'Just Lose It' and freestyles around then. Probably a track for 'Encore' that he decided went too far. Writing sounds too good for 05, but feasible for 03.
Jan 19, 2026 at 8:29 PM man listen to his younger voice on animals makes the vibe so much better, and like back then. I want a whole album like that. It's so much better than his current monotone voice. It really feels like 20+ years ago. I never realized that voice and delivery had so much impact on me. I felt it always were the beats (which also could be better these days, but it's aight). If the next album is in that Animals' voices, then it will be his best album since TES. Now, after 1,5 years, I definitely can say TDOSS is his best album since Encore.
Jan 20, 2026 at 1:31 AM We were bonding. In Square Dance Eminem says he's 28. Was it recorded in 2000 or is it another example of him lying about his age? But in Cleaning Out My Closet he says he was a baby in '73 so either he's not set out to lie, or he counts on listeners not counting how old he is? In Soldier he says "til the fire inside dies and expires at 30" but he is 30 then.
Jan 20, 2026 at 2:09 AM You’ve said multiple times you don’t like me and could never be friends with me. He turned 29 in October 2001. So that part of Square Dance must have been written before then, and I’m pretty sure a lot of it was written during the filming of 8 mile. (Sept 01-Jan 02) Soldier was even earlier that year, so he wasn’t 30. I’d say it’s possible it may have even been written, at least partially, before his 28th birthday in October 2000. He was absolutely right about the fire inside expiring at 30 though.
Jan 20, 2026 at 2:53 AM He has fire, you cannot deny that. Fire does not equal good song, but he raps because he wants to, that much is obvious. A 50 year old capable of Fuel and Animal verses. Thats fire.
