    Make an album about his career from start to finish. First track about growing up and starting to rap, final track saying goodbye.

    He should sing a lot.

    I like songs like Hailie's Song and Mockingbird.

    His melody and bridges and choruses when hes singing are so good. He's the best singer in the world.

    There are lots of MCs that are better than him at rapping like Rakim, T.I. and Scarface but his singing and harmonizing is second to none.

    Him singing on hooks and bridges goes hand in hand with his music

    As does his immense popularity it just goes hand in hand with who he is

    He should sing completely on the album about how much hes sold and the fact he's got daughters

    I also have autism

    ems got options, you cant be the best selling artist of the decade and run out of stories to tell, he just confines himself to rapping about a lot of the same things which hopefully h--- change with this album

    hes got huge acclaim from his story telling tracks, stan being arguably his biggest record, and its not like hes even rapping about himself anymore, why doesnt he just make it make a little more sense and do a concept album? thats infinite material he can pull from without getting stale near as easily as his acapellas, f--- it you have a label of talented rappers and writers man, get everyone to play a role, craft something

    but honestly ill be happy when he releases anything, i been making too many fake em tracklists lately

    Something other than himself.

    He only seems / feels like he has nothing left to rap about if you accept the premise that the material has to be about his life. Because you're searching for more areas of his life he should touch and struggling.

    SSLP & MMLP were both autobiographical but also highly conceptual. After writing TES, he got stuck in an ego-loop, as he went so personal and true to life that it's like he felt it all had to be about him - and he already had touched on most major aspects of his life past and present by even that point - so he got bored and kind of empty on Encore + drugs and we got... Well, Encore.

    Relapse he went back to just using his life as fuel for a high concept, but then pussied out and cow towed to 12 year old girls & simplistic whiners who wanted s--- literalism, and we got Recovery. Which, had good points, but as noted by many was forced and strained, as he was essentially trying to go backwards and simplify his approach, to appease fans, and so it came out awkward.

    Anyway, point is... Eminem doesn't just have to rap about Eminem. And that's an extremely idiotic waste of his ink, to basically use his entire career rapping one big self-portrait. He's an intelligent guy, I'm sure there's concepts and themes he can approach or put his mind to it to create something... Conceptual, something inventive, something not just being a batch of 'more life' songs which he gives a random theme title to.

    I hope he has another stab at some political s---, which Campaign Speech & No Favours indicate he will. Usually when names and vibes pop-up in feature verses prior to an album... they're an indication of a direction. So I do think he's actually going to touch on current political climate, the insanity of Trump etc. quite a bit. Is a bit unfortunate though as now actually feels like thee perfect time for a proper MMLP2. 2013 was OK but 2016/17 is much better - Trump elected as president... It's ideal.

    I do feel he has something up his sleeve though, other than another MMLP2-esque album, as he said he wasn't going to do another one unless he approaches it the right way, and with his hints on Bad Guy and Guts Over Fear - implying he doesn't have much left to say... I don't think he would do a whole other album and have this much wait if it was a) just rappidity rap or b) life s---, because he knows the wait and knows what he's said, I just don't think he would do that. So, I'm waiting to be surprised. As always. And I always am.
