Jun 11, 2015 Pre Encore, i think he was more open, had more people around him and wasn't such a recluse. He went on tours, still made public appearances etc.. So he wasn't just living in the studio. Then fame really started to get to him after 8 mile. And since then he has been a hermit. So one theory could be that back then he probably was a lot less in the studio, had other projects and had a life other than constantly being in the studio. Nowadays he must not do much besides spending his time in the studio thus losing his ability to recognize what sounds good and what doesn't.
Jun 11, 2015 kind of what @Tonshor said, I think he needs to sit back and take a break. Enjoy life for a bit outside of the studio. If he thinks of a great rhyme while out and about, sure, write it down like he used to, but stay out of the studio. Then when he's confident enough, he should get in the studio with nobody else except maybe luis resto or someone and make some good music. Keep that s--- AWAY from his camp so they don't fill his head with bs like "Yo this rap was tight!" when it really wasn't. Kissing up to the boss isn't good for the fans.
Jun 11, 2015 because I guarantee Yela and anyone in Slaughterhouse will automatically say an Em verse or song is superb even if it's not. Paul too.
Jun 11, 2015 Either that or he is just lazy now and doesn't care. I'm sure the big negative reaction to Relapse kind of shocked him. Obviously he still has the ability to make great hooks, and he's put out some great music since he came back, but lately he just seems obsessed with rapping fast and rhyming irrelevant words together.
Jun 11, 2015 I don't think he didn't chose the songs. But what you said about Kim choosing them was ridiculous.
Jun 11, 2015 Eminem's excuse 2010: "It's different them last 2 albums didn't count Encore was on drugs, Relapse I was flushing them out" Eminem's excuse 2016(?): "It's different them last 2 albums didn't count Recovery wasn't used to be sober, MMLP2 I got pressured to put it out"
Jun 11, 2015 The Kim part was obviously ironic Anyway keep repeating these fictions until u believe them.
Jun 12, 2015 Reminds me of that interview with Just Blaze where he actually made a suggestion (or criticism)? About a song they were working on, and I forgot what Marshall said in response but it alluded to the fact that NOBODY ever criticizes him or critiques him anymore.. basically yes men. Anybody know what I'm talking about? Link to the interview?
Jun 12, 2015 Yeah there's a write up here too if you don't feel like watching the clip... http://news.hiphopearly.com/just-blaze-recalls-how-he-almost-ruined-his-relationship-with-eminem/
Jun 12, 2015 Didn't Stat Quo say something as a joke that led to him leaving after Eminem took it to heart and pretty much gave up on him ?
Jun 12, 2015 This is an interesting subject.... I dont think it's just one thing. I think it's a combination of different things. I think all those things others have touched on in this thread are probably relevant, but I wouldn't put it down to one or the other. It's probably a combination of being too obsesssed with work/rhyming and also the 'yes men' element isn't gonna help. Someone needs to call this mu f--ka out for it. A household name needs to check Em on this s---> Jay-Z, f---ing Drake J cole... I don't really give a s--- who... I can almost guarantee that'll light a new fire up under his a---. Dude just needs a reality check and a slice of humble pie, and to f---ing banish all contact with Rosenberg for a few months. Sounds so simple don't it? lol.
Jun 12, 2015 Stat explained in detail how that sickness, along with a slew of other offensive occurrences, led to his decision to leave his label home for the past five years on “Dear Summer Pt. 2” [click to listen]. In that breakdown Stat referenced an unreleased Eminem production entitled “Dance On It” saying, “What a song, Em, 50 and Dre, Stat Quo, Cashis, also featuring Jay…Z.” However, Stat clarified to DX that the Eminem and Jay-Z collaboration was in fact not “Dance On It,” but another song, one that may make its way to the buying public very soon. “The song that featured Jay-Z is a song that Em’s putting on his album called ‘My Syllielable” – it’s like ‘my syllable,’ [only] he flipped it,” said Stat. “They probably have since taken Stat Quo off of that record now that I’m not affiliated with the label.” “Dance On It,” Stat further clarified, was actually the song that ironically initiated the end of his working relationship with Eminem. Stat explained that Eminem had written the hook for the song, sent it to him, “And [then] he was like, ‘Man, it’s a smash.’ I thought it was a smash, but I was still reluctant about it. And then when I got [back] to L.A. I made ‘Here We Go.’” Stat subsequently began leaning towards the Dr. Dre-produced “Here We Go” as his personal choice for the jumpoff joint for Statlanta and its planned summer ’07 release. “But before he got [to L.A.] me and Em’s last conversation was ‘Dance On It’ was gonna be the [single],” said Stat. “So we had a meeting, it was me, Dre, Em, and Paul [Rosenberg of Shady Records]. So we sitting in there and we trying to figure out the [single]. And Em’s like, ‘Dance On It.’ And what made Em upset is because I was like, ‘I don’t know.’ But from Em’s standpoint, our last conversation was this was the song. But, I had made ‘Here We Go,’ and I thought [it should be the single].” “And I made a joke,” Stat continued, “which I ain’t even gon’ get into that. But I had made a joke in that meeting that made Em upset. And from that point on, me and his relationship was strained. It was totally different. At that point for real [it was like] he had just said fu*k it, I’m done. Even though [after my apology] it was [seemingly] all forgiven, [and] he had said it was all good, [but] it was never all good at that point.” Following Eminem’s decision to remove himself from Stat’s project, a subsequent, and unexplained, decision made by Dr. Dre to not appear in Stat’s video for “Here We Go,” and the aforementioned lack of support for the single by parent label, Interscope, Stat began seeking his release from the label.
Jun 12, 2015 Ηave you ever thought maybe he is having different criteria to judge the music hes making?
