Forreal though, to reach his full potential this album he needs to:

1. Get rid of all the yes-men around him (pretty impossible);
2. Choose his own beats (f--- Paul);
3. No pop singles;
4. Do his own hooks bar one or two
5. Not record 100+ songs for the album -- focus on recording and perfecting fewer songs = easier to narrow down the final cut; a key reason as to why some of his later work lacks cohesion
6. Not try to cram 100 rhymes into 2 bars. It's unnecessary. Go insanely intricate, flex your skills and rap fast on one track or so, but don't sacrifice flow etc. by being over technical. It's impressive, and you're the best at it, we get it, but it doesn't always suit the song.

His lyricism is at an all-time high, and it'd be a real shame if that got looked over because of poor beat choices etc. and other issues that shouldn't be too hard to address.

If he slipped while holding the MMLP and it fell out of his hand.

Drop an acapella album

Change the game, Marshall

I could list s--- that he could do to drop a classic but it doesn't matter. He could drop an album better than his first 3 and he would still have a little population hating on it.

• Work with a couple of producers, all working on the album - create a sound for the album vs. picking random beats, creating individual songs and then putting them together, ending up with no sound; no vision, just a mixtape type outcome aka MMLP2
  
  
• Write down all the things 'expected' of him and which he tries to 'deliver' (digging the bottom of the barrel for more 'life content' etc.) with his content for the fans... then wipe his a--- with it. He's an artist not a manufacturer. If he doesn't have conviction in it, or it doesn't spur from him organically... Forget it. That's weak, compromised content.
  
  
• Limit feature hooks to 1-3 MAX. I think Recovery had like over half feature hooks? Ridiculous. For one of the best hook makers in rap (Role Model, Rock Bottom, k--- You, The Way I Am, Criminal... I mean, come on.) to be so lazy on that aspect recently is unforgiveable. He spends a billion years writing his verses, why not put the same love into the whole song like he used to instead of cheapening his songs with tacky phoned-in bs chasing hits. Lack of integrity plus it's another reason his albums now sound less cohesive and unique, because they're all broken-up with these bs hooks and formats.
  
  
• Quality control. It's really hard to make a classic when you're using max CD time... that s--- is super fkn rare and he can't defy the odds that many times. He did it with his first three but it's really unlikely he'll make another classic with 100 songs on it. Pick 12-13 AMAZING tracks which all sound as one and create a theme and a vibe.
  
  
• Stop trying to create "balance". Ever since TES he seems obsessed with having 'an angry song + a political song + a personal song + a hailie song + a b---- song' etc. Trying to 'give a bit of everything for everyone', again just his insecurity of trying to treat albums like products rather than art now. MMLP, his masterpiece, is that precisely as it has NO balance. It's a f---ing onslaught. And that's why it feels like a whole experience; he covers different themes but he isn't 'mr responsible' one minute, 'zany Eminem' the next, 'angry woman man' the next... He's just a blend, one character throughout - one vibe.
  
  
• Delete DJ Khalil & Just Blaze from his phone
• Ignore all trends and anything he's done before
  
  
• Stop focusing on himself. Imagine Picasso ONLY doing self-portraits, or every Tarantino film being about a story from his childhood or what happened to him last year. He has an immense talent yet he's wasting his previously great artistic brain - narcissistically - on himself. Like the only options are 'killing people' or 'mememe'. Seriously lazy AF.

If he ignores all expectations, crafts something consistent and blends his unreal skill with exciting content and forgets: hits, Jimmy's pockets, Paul's s-----y taste, fans' s-----y taste, previous work & expectations... He more than could create his best album.

I'm seriously doubtful, but, here's to hoping.

be as technical as possible like 10-20 syllables at a time, tell deep, funny stories, use really heavy, intricate metaphors and use something like a combination of the k--- for you and no favors deliveries. maybe with a couple of tastefully done skits. and sing his own hooks. and produce as much of it himself as possible. use bass bros & dre ONLY for the rest. and don’t wait until 2019 to release the videos. and not call it anything reminiscent of any of his other work. and not f---ing let paul have anything to do with the marketing

His appearance would have no factor on the quality of his music.
