Marshall Mathers actually died from an overdose in his bathroom in 2007. After two years of searching, Interscope finally found a replacement Eminem. With enough plastic surgery & newly dark hair, not many fans even noticed the difference.

The voice, however, was never perfected.

Also Eminem used to layer his voice. He doesnt do that anymore maybe that is why it sounds different?

Eminem's voice has always change through out the years. You had SSLP-MMLP, 8mile-TES, Encore and then you had Relpase with the accent and now we have this...

So what do you say to this, then?


Or this?

It's clearly the same f---ing person

It started with the second half of his "drop the world" verse. However, the most significant change was when he dropped the "despicable" freestyle to promote Recovery. You can tell this is when he really started the rough, lower-tone yelling voice. He sounded normal on the non-accent Relapse songs. Here's a comparison:

I'm actually really digging the voice he's using right now, especially like how it was on All I Think About. It sounds so laid-back and casual yet interesting and enjoyable, it's really reminiscent of his 99-01 style while still remaining true to his current, more matured sound.

The drugged out deeper voice started to appear on the 8 Mile Soundtrack and even more on the Green Lantern tapes. He was slurring words by Encore and it peaked in 2007 when you couldn't even understand him (The Apple, GOAT, etc.)

That voice was like a cartoon character, it was great

Why Does It Always Sound Like I'm Grabbing My Nostrils??

The sslp flow/delivery along with the nasal voice is the best to me. It just adds to the persona.. The Detroit accent was good too. Even when his content was weird with sslp it sounded fitting because of the playful sounding nasal voice. I like TES voice too it sounded so natural and smooth. I think when he raps normal (Deja Vu, going thru changes) his post hiatus voice is similar. It's always something with him tho ( good voice bad flow, bad voice good flow) etc

Agreed. I always loved it just sounded so raw. Just gave him an extra ruthless edge for some reason with me. He just sounded that extra bit crazy.

I don't think it's really changed when he flows like normal f---ing Eminem. The Warning sounds identical. There are certain lines/flows he uses where he sounds the same. I.e. the following on All I think About

Infrared in my pencil lead
But always keep an extra one stocked though
In the back pocket and both of 'em locked
And they're loaded, like cocked twin Glocks that I’m holdin'
You better pause when you see these two dots on your colon

Especially the last two lines
