    This could very well be true. Right now it’s a classic for me

    Can't be a classic. There are some very average songs on the project, it's not consistent enough and most songs have the same subject matter. One thing I've realised also, Em talks ALOT about ghostwriters throughout the entire project, weird subject matter to keep going back to.

    Ringer to Lucky you is Em's best work this decade.

    not a weird subject at all, the album is as much about eminems legacy and his place in hip hop as it is the current state of hip hop. someone who has 20 years into the game and always been at the top level of it those entire 20 years (reviews or not, his albums always go number 1 when they drop) hes from a time when you had to sound different or you were whack....now theres a certain level of having to stick to a certain sound as everything else. hes from a time where you had to write, you had to push your pen, you had to apply yourself, now ppl are just rapping what someone else wrote, its taking the genuineness, the perspective, and the autobiographical stature that hip hop once represented out of the genre. its ppl just preforming what other people wrote for them, and its weird for rap. sure dre and Kanye do it but theyre also top tier producers and mix engineers so theyre still contributing. if youre just rapping, or cooing a f---ing melody someone else wrote youre doing the same thing as every other genre. that's something that stood out to hip hop was that you wrote your s--- (or were supposed to) so yeah, someone who lives inside of his note books and obsesses over words and how to make lines and schemes work is gonna look down on someone who has their s--- written for them bc youre not an emcee at that point.

    Dude, 50 Cent literally always says the exact same answer when he’s asked about Em.

    Classic ain’t the word.

    However, given the situation he was in, with poor releases etc... it’s f---ing incredible.

    I just wish he'd explain ending the f---in' album with Venom. It didn't bother me last year but it kind of does now. Classic intro for an album and a "f--- you" on ending the album great as well.

    Not sure why people criticize eminem for subject matter when 90% of the rappers (old and new) rap about the same stuff their whole carreer lol

    Kamikaze managed to get people who’ve hated on Em for years to grudgingly say ‘yeah ok this is quite good’.

    I didn’t think that would ever happen after Revival

    You can definitely say something about his subject matter sometimes.. the piss and poop and other childish jokes.. and the execution of it.
    Like, you can make 10 songs about addiction, or dealing drugs, but still make it 10 very different songs.

    But simply 'his subject matter gets boring and repetive' doesn't make sense. They all do it.

    “But they’ve been painting my album to death, so I’ve been giving the media fingers.”

    Wow I just got this. Middle finger/finger painting. Never made the connection to finger painting.

    This isn’t even necessarily clever, but it’s impressive how he stacks multiple
