Eminem Why does Eminem deliberately not give us a great, natural flow?

    I’ve done some thinking and I realized that it appears Eminem ruins songs on purpose. He cannot give us a normal flow like TES or 8 mile anymore.

    A perfect example is Phenomenal. That song had serious potential for epic greatness. But he purposely used a choppy flow. Why? Why is he trying to sabotage songs?

    You all know what I’m saying.

    Mmlp2 - shady xv he still had the EMINEM look, n----- couldve been on his second prime if he wanted to he had the resources to create a classic album. Just get pick better beats and less pop singers for the songs, leave the choppy flow and cut some fat from his albums

    2010-2017 thats 7 years of youthfull ness he wasted, now he looks too old to be the old EM

    You can see on the monster video he couldve still pull of the classic eminem look.

    He f----- it all up.

    He must have did it on purpose. Why? To lower expectations?

    You're right. He reenacted The Way I Am, I forgot. Wow. He made Rap God though, but he sure did waste some time.

    It's probably old age + the drug addiction



    Relapse had too many trash songs even if u get rid of the accents.

    Because he likes to experiment with flows. He doesnt want to do the same s--- all over again, its something called growing. You can't proceed in life if you maintain, dr dre said something similar like that.

    No, in contrast to what you just said. Imo, It's like saying people go to the gym to have vary their exercises and not having to do the same s--- all over again. You aint going to squat for your whole life and not experiment with other leg exercises. You wanna maintain and have chicken legs for the rest of your life then so be it. FOH LMAO. My profession is in sports, so don't use that analogy if you dont go to the gym or dno what you talking about

    He’s not ruining songs on purpose the way you’re thinking. He has become OBSESSED, literally, with rhyming every single syllable in each line. He finally got to a point where he was cutting lines short to emphasize rhymes and rhyme scheme. It has consumed him as an artist.

    Instead of squatting, Eminem is now doing one legged leg extensions while curling at the same time.

    In my opinion it's only growing if you can match it in quality. Don't make it different just to make it different.

    I've been wondering the same for the last few years. So I came to the same conclusion.

    I mean, how can he not hear it?

    Because he's so f---ing OCD about his rhymes that he obsesses over them, ignoring everything else...
