Old
- Has great production
- Poetic as f---, smooth flow.
- But lacks a lot on technicality that he gained later.
- Music is timeless.
New
- Has potential to be the best rapper alive with all the skills he has, I'd actually say he's the best rn when it comes to overall skills. New Em would eat the older one alive as far as skills are concerned. Music is great but not what it used to be.
Cons-
- Too many yes men that doesn't help him in receiving the guidance, feedback he needs.
- Too much influence of Paul after Relapse flopped and hence, Poppynem.
- Production let's him down and ruins albums that have potential to be classics.
- Rick Rubin
- Alex Da Kid
Just remove all the cons and Eminem would be one of the best living MCs again. -

It didn't really start until my career took off. I was probably in my early 20s before I even kicked back my first beer. But the bigger the shows got, the bigger the after-parties; drugs were always around. In the beginning it was recreational. I could come off tour and be able to shut it off. I'd spend time with the kids, and I'd be OK.
It probably started to become a problem around the 8 Mile movie. We were doing 16 hours on the set, and you had a certain window where you had to sleep. One day somebody gave me an Ambien, and it knocked me the f--- out. I was like, "I need this all the time." So I got a prescription. After four or five months, your tolerance starts building. You start breaking off another piece of the pill that's supposed to be for tomorrow. Then, when I got off probation for my felonies [in 2003], and I didn't have to drop urine anymore, the reins came off. On the Anger Management 3 tour [in 2005], I was f----- up every night.(This ad goes away when signing up) - May 12, 2025

Also he gets shat on by a very big chunk of Hip hop audience.
You can't be the best rapper alive when you're lacking musically and half or maybe more than half of the rap audience agrees on the fact that your music is wack. (I like Em's new s--- tho)
Kendrick is the best rapper alive right now. Pusha T is one of the best right now. -

Thr main deifference between old Em and new Em is that old Em didn’t take s--- from anybody. People feared Em and if you even thought about dissing him he was at your throat. Nowadays it’s cool to talk s--- about Em because he lets it slide. He should go back to roasting people to bring respect back to his brand/legacyDanny Florio, TomorrowsPast and SleepyGhost like this.(This ad goes away when signing up)
