Devil's Night era is prime Em. So compared to it he looks like a turd.

I'm convinced that majority of the members here are not true hip hop/Em fans. The Em we have on No Favors is the closest to old Em that I've heard in years. All of the complaints I'm hearing are about the multiple flow changes, random topics, and bring off beat. THATS EXACTLY how old EM RAPPED. Listen to k--- You or Marshall Mathers. You all aren't true EM fans and don't appreciate the different styles he brings to the rap game

He had wit, creativity, focus, & actual content back in his earlier days. Now he doesn't.

You say a verse containing:

"It may be disturbing, what I'm saying's cringeworthy
But I'm urinating on Fergie!"

"And f--- Ann Coulter with a Klan poster
With a lamp post, door handle, shutter
A d--- bolt cutter, a sandal, a can opener, a candle, rubber
Piano, a flannel, sucker, some hand soap, butter
A banjo and manhole cover
Hand over the mouth and nose smother
Trample ran over the tramp with the Land Rover
The band, the Lambo, Hummer and Road Runner"

Is exactly how his stuff was in his prime. Couldn't be farther from the truth. Listen more closely to his SSLP/MMLP/8 Mile/TES verses - the old s--- is much, much better.

I never said his prime, I said MMLP days. You're saying that what you just quoted is that far from this in k--- you?

I'm triple platinum and tragedies happen in two states
I invented violence, you vile venomous volatile b------s
Vain Vicadin, vrinnn Vrinnn, Vrinn!
Texas Chainsaw, left his brains all
Danglin' from his neck, while his head barely hangs on
Blood, guts, guns, cuts
Knives, lives, wives, nuns, sluts

b---- I'm a k--- you! You don't want to f--- with me
Girls leave, you ain't nothin' but a slut to me
b---- I'm a k--- you! You ain't got the balls to beef
We ain't goin' never stop beefin' I don't squash the beef

It's just what EM does. This new EM is a throwback to that EM, not the Eminem Show/8mile. I think the people here only like one style of EM and not the various different styles throughout his career

sounds like s---

My issue with No Favors is that it just seemed lazy. The stop and go flow on this track, specifically, sounds just like the stop and go flow on Campaign Speech. Meaning to me, he recorded it the same way - acapella - and gave it to Big Sean to just throw it on some random beat. And it sounded that way. It sounded lazy and just wrong, and just overall out of place.

I have no real problem with the content of the verse, I appreciate the technicality of it, same way I do Campaign Speech - I just miss the days when he took his art seriously, all around. A true perfectionist (as everyone he's worked with claims he is) would never release something as halfassed as this was.

I can forgive him if he just did this for the feature. That's fine. But if this lazy s--- is what his next album will be like, it won't be forgivable by many people. No one wants him to just record acapellas on his spare time and hand them over to producers to build beats around. That method is lazy and inexcusable unless the artist is dead, obviously.

But for Eminem? It's lazy. Something everyone says he's not.

People want this Em back?
I grew up with him. It was funny when he rapped like this when I was back in high school. And then he matured in his late 20s and I appreciated the type of music he made with TES and 8 mile and the better parts of encore. I felt like I was maturing similarly to him (even if he was much older).
Now he's 45 years old and rapping like this? f--- that. I don't listen to the SSLP except once in a blue moon for nostalgia. And I certainly doing want to listen to him trying to recreate that as a grown man. It's ridiculous.

She’s sitting there getting liquored up at the bar
She says it’s quicker to count the things that ain’t wrong with Eminem than to count the things that are
There’s a seven-disc CD changer in her car
And Future's in every single slot, and he's not, aw

No look at all the pre Recovery features he did. Airplanes, forever, drop the world. They all matched his overall Recovery attitude. Same with the pre MMLP2 features ( Here comes the weekend, Numb, Come on let's Ride, Symphony in H). Everything he does right now is a build up to his album

"true em fans"

what the f--- is a true em fan?

Tbh, I don't have a problem with new Em's solo s---, but his features have been lackluster af recently

Sean presents him with a song about coming up and succeeding without any handouts from anyone (a subject Em loves to rap about) and Em's brain just goes "talk about Ann Coutler and Klan posters". This is concerning.
