    Like I always said, Eminem never got worse. He just got more inconsistent.

    Nowadays, you never know what Em might put out. He could make an epic verse like Phenomenal v3 (which is as good as he's ever been) or he might make a dud like "Throw It Up" and rap about Burger King.

    obviously modern em is nowhere near his prime and nowhere near the skill of old em, but who's denying that? if anyone is saying that modern Em is on the level of his former TES/MMLP/SSLP self, they are delusional.

    there's a huge difference. if people like his new music, good for them. I like it, but I'm not gonna trick myself into thinking it's of TES caliber or some s---.

    then you think verse 3 on Phenomenal is on par with, say, his verses on Devil's Night?

    I loved both. Not better, but different. So I judge them on different standards, in the same way I'd just a Jay Z verse vs. a Masta Ace verse.

    While this thread is admirable, trying to illustrate the gap to fans of current Eminem is like trying to illustrate why gay people should have the right to marry, to Southerners...

    If they don't already get it by now, they never will and you're just wasting your breath.
