Mar 20, 2017 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.
Mar 20, 2017 What did Dre rap about on Compton? It was bragging, reflecting on his position in the game, some political stuff, reflecting on the world, a couple of concept songs...maybe the odd sentimental track. Features from the big names of his era - XZ Snoop etc. Came out sounding really f---in smooth and bosslike. I really think Compton should be the blueprint for the album. Hope he bows out with an album everyone respects.
Mar 20, 2017 Maybe rap about something different like .... j---ing o-- to Hanna Montana with Lanolin and knocking candles off of his mantle. Aww man wait a second
Mar 20, 2017 Doritos locos tacos The new Big Mac sizes Walking to the mailbox Walking back from the mailbox Elevator 2 (Going Through Repair Changes)
Mar 21, 2017 I think it would be cool if he started rapping about guns, b------s, drugs and cars. I wanna hear a trap life themed album
