    I’m a big fan of Em when he goes Captain Autismo, but I do think there’s times when he should follow the structure of the song, the context, the delivery, the subject matter etc. if you listen to both version of Nas’ EPMD, it would be quite easy to hear the approach Em should make & it’s never what Em came with lol

    Along with that, it’s Nas & Em! A monumental moment in hip-hop, what we got is some bs.

    Be honest, do we think Eminem can rap at this level anymore? Why does Nas sound so effortless in comparison?

    I've pretty much accepted that Eminem is probably always going to say corny s--- so as long as it's not too horrendous I can look past it as long as his delivery and energy are on point. In Doomsday he doesn't even sound like he's trying. His delivery is completely zestless and even genuinely awful at parts, like the awkward way he says "Forever". In Despicable he popped the f--- off. These parts especially feel like vintage Eminem:

    Two bottles of Lubriderm and a box of condoms
    Is that all you brought?
    And you want a ménage à trois, you twats?
    f--- that, I'd rather turn this club to a barroom brawl
    Get rowdy as Roethlisberger in a bathroom stall
    Like a leech stuck in a vacuum, y'all
    Ain't nothing but a whole lot of sucking going on in rap
    Yeah, but I'm home
    Bad to the bone, back in the zone
    Let him alone, you don't wanna go eggin' him on
    It'll never be my chair that you own
    Crown so tight that it cuts off circulation to the brain
    No oxygen—other words, there's no heir to the throne

    Like Donkey Kong, I'm bonkers, b----
    I'm the king of this honkey s---
    I reign supreme in this honkey s---
    No sense screaming and arguing
    Makes no difference whether a Benz or a Bentley
    Or a Bimmer's the car you in
    You think you ball? Well, I palm it
    I throw up bombs when I vomit
    Boy, I throw down in the kitchen
    Might hit your mom with my omelette
    But you got egg on your face
    Now watch me drop an atomic
    I should be strapped to the chest of a kamikaze
    b----, I'm as batshit as Ozzy
    It's obvious, you can tell right off the bat
    No pun intended, but come any closer, I'll bite off your head
    Not sure if Chem Warfare was before Relapse but that's also classic Eminem once you get past the accent.

    f--- it whilst this thoughts in my head im writing some examples:

    soldier 3rd verse at 2:42
    Last 4 bars of each verse on Til I collapse
    Just Loose It 0:18 - 0:24
    No Apologies second verse 1:31
    Murder (Re-Up) 1:44
    Fight Music Eminems Verse
    Never Enough 2:09
    You Dont Know start of Lloyd banks verse
    Evil Deeds at 3:16
    Stepping Stone after every chorus before next verse comes in

    eminems tried and tested production technique. ascend 4 notes in relation to whatever key your in with a string sound

    Nas is a goat but this sounds like every other Nas song on his last 4 albums.

    f--- all that random bs, sure the rapping is there and I'm sure it's impressive on a technical level or whatever but what good is it if you're rapping about random bs? you can make the most complex lyrical miracle s--- of all time but what the f--- do I care if it's about diarrhea or potato chips and it doesn't make me feel anything at all? not anger, not sadness, not hype, just slightly annoyed that he won't use his talent to create meaningful s---, and please don't even try to think of arguing that revival is meaningful and that's why he got s--- for it

    By meaningful I don't even mean life changing or anything like that, just something with content instead of random s---

    Hopefully the new album is sonically more smooth than his recent features are.. just relistened to Evil Twin off of MMLP2 and honestly this s--- is sick.

    Great song but he has sounded the same since day 1. Why so effortless.

    And em literally dropped lace it like 2 months ago. And that was universally praised as his return to content over humor.

    Lace It is a great Em verse. Can’t listen to it because the song is garbage but that’s exactly the type of Em I would like to see on the new album.

    And I hate how 8 years later he made Fack 2 and named it Kamikaze and another 2 years later rapped "you're all hitched to my c---" *picardfacepalm.gif*
