Eminem's verse from the Shady cypher seemed to be loved by battle fans so he has it in him, even with how much battle rap has changed since his days.
I know personal disses aren't as important in battle rap as they used to be but you know things would get real personal with Eminem. Could he really handle being on a stage in front of thousands, being viewed by millions, being told about Proof, his daughters, his drug addiction, his past use of the N word, etc....I don't think he could.
Returning to a competitive scene like this, might actually spark his interest/wit/whatever and give us some good stuff. He'd probably do better than he does in (most of) his songs nowadays but he'd get rekt by the competition I think, he's been too exposed and too wack for all these years
The problem would be if he tried too hard because he'd still sound like he's forcing it and come up with corny punchlines and all the other bad things, if he'd actually go with the flow, maybe freestyle a bit here and there, go back to his roots, who knows. He could be decent imo
Yeah that's one of the reasons I don't think he would step in the ring. And if he did he'd almost definitely do some b---- s--- like have a contract stating no mentions of proof or something
