Jul 28, 2015 when you hit puberty you will understand why a mans voice gets deeper as time passes.. countless s--- threads. section80 is quickly evolving into trshady.
Jul 28, 2015 pretty much I reckon Em's voice changed dramatically during the Relapse recording sessions. We're talking about hundreds of f---ing songs this guy pumped out in that short span of time.
Jul 29, 2015 Around Re-Up-Crack a Bottle. He still had his sound in re-up even with the raspy voice then he returned with Crack a bottle and the voice sounded kinda similar and that was the last we heard of Eminem
Feb 13, 2016 Eminem's voice has changed at his will from Infinite, up until the Eminem Show, where he originally altered his flow and sounds, because he was criticized for resembling Nas too closely, so on the Slim Shady EP, and later the LP, he turned to a much more aggressive, but nasally approach, that introduced fans to the horrorcore side of Eminem, a trend that was later continued on the Marshall Mather LP, and revisited in 2009's Relpase. Although still high pitched, there is a slight, but noticeable voice change on the MMLP, likely either due to production quality differences between albums, or because he chose to change it subtly. Next, on the Eminem Show, he lowered his pitch even further, and for the majority of the album, tries to shift away from the shock value that made his previous albums so successful, which Without Me suggests, thus altering his style to begin driving away from the classic Slim Shady persona would logically make sense. Next, from 8 Mile to Encore, one of the most drastic changes occurs, due to the developing addition to sleep medication at the time, which he began taking on the production of 8 mile to cope with the strenuous and stressful work hours, and keep his focus on point. Within Encore, however, it is apparent that his drug intake has blown up to full blown addiction, and is one the hardest albums to listen to as a result, as his previous tactic of muti-tracking his voice backfires when his buzzed lower voice, and attempted higher voice, combine, as can be heard of the chorus and verse of Evil Deeds. During his hiatus, he became so hooked on drugs, that he gained an excess amount of weight, due to having the munchies as a constant side effect of his actions, and his voice alters insomuch that he even slurs a multitude of words together, which is true on the tracks, G.O.A.T. and The Apple, among others. With his overdose in 2007, the large quantity of drugs he consumed may have been a direct result in a permanent lowering of his voice, similar to how long-time smokers face similar effects. Thus, with Relpase in 2009, the accents allowed him to not only rhyme with words that are not supposed to, and have an amazing flow, but also mask or cover-up his deeper sound for the most part, as his true voice can be heard on Deja Vu, Underground, and Be Careful What You Wish For. That being said, in he received such negative backlash on Relpase for his unique style, that he decided to make a 360 in his sound, as can be heard first on his Despicable Freestyle, then of course, Recovery in 2010, and the Bad Meets Evil album, h---: The Sequel in 2011. The last remnants of his Recovery flow can be witnessed on 50 Cent's, My Life, in 2012, to which on 2013's, the Marshal Mathers LP2, 2014's ShadyXV, and on the 2015 Southpaw soundtrack, he reduces the amount of multi-tracking he used to do when rapping, and instead just keeps his post-hiatus voice with little to no alterations.
Feb 13, 2016 Crack A Bottle was the last true Eminem. Should've had the whole album like that. The flow was perfect.
Feb 13, 2016 what is 'true Eminem'? How is flow on Relapse (minus Beautiful and maybe Underground) not like his flow on Crack a Bottle?
Feb 13, 2016 Agreed, Crack a Bottle is a classic and a flow masterpiece from not just Shady, but Dre and 50 as well, and the sampled jingle from Wu Tang's "Preservation" and Mike Brant's "Mais Dans La Lumiere," just makes it all the more memorable thanks to Dre.
Feb 13, 2016 Just because he has an accent on the majority of Relpase does not mean he has the same exact flow on every single song. There is a large difference in the flow between a track such as "3 AM" and "Bagpipes From Baghdad."
Feb 13, 2016 But about the "true" Eminem, I think he was referring to Slim Shady's prime back at the turn of the decade.
Feb 13, 2016 well I put CAB in the same box as the rest of the Relapse if it comes to the flow to say CAB is the last "true Eminem" song is ridiculous, to say it's a classic song is even more funny to me
Feb 13, 2016 I hope he flows like he does on No Apologies and layers his vocals on the next s---. Weeknd meets TES production please.
Feb 13, 2016 His voice definitely sounds different. Enjoyed it on Recovery (But not the whole album) and some tracks on Relapse. Voice hasn't been as good on MMLP2, Shady XV, and Southpaw. I thinks it's him trying different styles. Listen to his 60 minutes interview, he sounds the same as always.
