    Honestly what do you expect from a man whose been in the game for 19 years? He can only be who he is at this point and that's what he's doing. Going back to his original ways is getting him what he wants. Major buzz, being in the mainstream news(Trump/Ann Coulter comments), No Favors number 4 on the iTunes Charts, and even has us debating about him on this forum. EM is winning

    People on forums will never like his new music. People sh---ed on his s--- from 5 years ago. Now they want him back on that s---. Theyll like it down the road. I agree, Em is rapping very similarly to how he used to in 1999 and 2000.

    Dre, Jay, Wayne, 3k, etc. have been in the game as long if not longer than him & are still puttin out fresh s--- whether it be on albums, tapes, guest appearances, whatever.

    He's been in the game since for 18 years, stuck, trying to recreate his old music. He's not confined to this one thing.
    Of course, he's still one of the biggest rappers in the world & what hes doin is working for him. Thats kinda beside the point tho. Were talkin quality

    Dude you are contradicting yourself like most Of the users on this forum. In one post you're saying you miss prime EM and in the next you're saying you're tired of him trying to go back to the very thing you miss and bring something fresh smh. Also, what's fresh and new that we haven't heard before from. jay, Dre, and Wayne?? They all sound like the same dudes we fell in love with. Quit holding EM to a different standard

    Comparing the overall style, approach, and content. This is the style you're going to see on the new album

    His old stuff is good. His consistently worse attempts to imitate it over & over for the past several years have been s--- because thats what they are - imitations. its getting stale, he doesn't have to do that in the first place.

    ^ that /= me contradicting myself
    They've stepped outta their box & rapped over different s---, are evolving, are showing creativity, charisma, good song & verse writing. aka fresh s---.

    Eminem isn't.

    Same standard. Eminem's just worse.

    Well if it isn't fresh then why is No Favors the highest selling single on I've decided? If it isn't fresh then why is he on all of the news outlets if it was just the same old s---? If it isn't fresh then why did The Eminem Show, MMLP, The Slim Shady LP, and Recovery just jump in the top 29 on the iTunes rap/hip hop charts? This is all from just a feature. EM knows what he's doing and it's working for a reason

    new verse from one of the biggest rappers in the world getting commercial success /= fresh

    its stale, played out, & unlistenable - the verse itself got pretty s--- reception, h--- look at the banner of this site lol. he's rapped about this a billion times, its getting old, admitted it himself.

    If it's not your personal taste bud then that's fine but you can't dismiss it as s---. His flow and subject matter are vintage EM. If you don't like it that's fine but it really isn't that bad. Also EM doesn't always get this much coverage when he has a feature. His k--- For You feature with Skylar wasn't nearly as talked about or successful for generating buzz as No Favors. He knows what he's doing. That's why he has had a 19 year career

    numbers have nothing to do with the quality of the feature.

    its more of a statement of how amazin em early work was than the quality of this feature.

    this song was way more promoted than k--- for you, anything well promoted with Eminem name on it will sell a lot because of his old catalogue ( first 3 albums).

    btw repost from other thread :

    tired of ems apologists , Eminem has only gotten worse release after release since his return.

    He can do good music wed like, he just doesn't want to.

    He doesn't want to work with bass brothers.

    he doesn't want to layer his vocals and use a more traditional em style production.

    he wants to rap with Royce and make bad songs using producers like alex da kid and make awful precooked/written generic stadium anthems with pop singers on the hook.

    drop the rocky beats ,drop the non flows accapella s---(bring back something similar to old flow) find ghotwriters if u don't know what to write about, get bassbrothers and make us something decent.


    whats the difference between the prime em and current em??? not the age, the hunger. Eminem doesn't need his music to be successful like when he was dead broke.Money is no object to him anymore.

    if his life and the life of his family depended on the success of his music, he would put his heart into it and not use accapella freestyles as features. He would make sure the song sounds good and the content was good even if he had to spend months on said song.

    end.

    In a couple of years everyone will love this verse like everyone now likes Relapse lmao Em knows what hes doing this s--- was on the radio earlier & they were literally talking about the Trump & Ann line for an hour & even got a couple of callers in saying hes rapping like he did in 2000 era. I don't know what you guys expect of this guy from delivering music almost 20 years and still being the #1 talked about artist ever. GOAT

    Well son clarify what's different between the style of MMLP EM and Campaign Speech/No Favors EM? Content, flows, tonality, and attitude are all the same. I think your nostalgia is holding him to an unreal standard. We're never going to get the same EM from then bc he was 26 and is now 45 lol. It's never going to be the same and is nowhere near as horrible as its being made on this forum. The general public is receiving it well and are liking Em's verse. The users on this site are unreal with their EM hate but are the first ones to listen to it when it comes out smh

    why do I feel like you just discovered Eminem a few years ago and find important that u need to brag about knowing prime Eminem well.

    no one in here feels the need to show that they liked Eminem during his prime ,I really think you are 12-14 years old and started listening to Eminem after hearing love the way you lie on the radio. YOU then youtube his old s--- and now consider yourself an expert.

    its the only way I can think of that would make someone think his new s--- is similar to mmlp.

    Exactly!! Most if the people on this forum are unreal. I don't believe they even know what the want to hear from EM themselves!! He's going back to his most successful style that made him successful and made us fall in love with him in the first place
