    Lyrically he has fallen off that is a fact

    But i don't care about Lyricism like that i care about Song Writing and Eminem is the best Song Writer and makes the most catchy songs in his genre

    Couple things,
    1. MMLP2 is NOT a masterpiece, and i liked it
    2. He doesn't need to make every song a challenge to the listener with his flow. We don't care if he looks at his rhymes as "Puzzles", we want him to focus on the impact of what he's saying
    3. He has fallen off, but he could make a musical comeback.

    there is nothing remotely creative about taking a cookie cutter hook, ignoring the beat almost entirely, and slapping 3 verses in which the last bar leads in to the chorus on to the song. stop.

    He used to make great music, now he makes mostly average or bad music with a few gems. That's my perspective.

    And its not a myth since 90% of the posters here agree. Some are a little more harsh, sure, but almost everyone agrees he fell off.

    Nobody says it's wrong to like some of his newer stuff. I like some of it too. But I think it's weird that everyone agrees that he fell off, but you say it's a 'myth'.

    saying Eminem fell off is like saying Kanye is a good rapper. It's a lie. Eminem in many ways is much better than he use to be. He just changed. He's still the GOAT

    I've been listening to his new albums more than the old ones lately. Eminem may have lost the touch he once had, but he's still better than anyone else by far.

    In my opinion, I like eminems new stuff just as much as his old stuff. I think his old stuff still has bad songs(not as many though) as he does now. He is not as good as he was 1999-2003 of course not. I think he is still one of the best rappers still in the game, I liked the accent's on relapse btw.
    He probably cant do the accent's anymore not sure if it would suit him but if he can bring his old accent back? Like even 2005ish when it was alot lower toned then 1999 Slim.

    Eminem has fallen off. MMLP 2 is a bad album. He will never be as good as TES/MMLP/SSLP/Encore

    tbh I think its been quite a good year for Em (at least a step in the right direction), he's probably put out more songs/features I like from him this year than he did the whole of 2011-2014

    Still really enjoy it, partly down to it being a remix of a good song, but ems verses are also good
