    Eminem is not the same person anymore guys.....don't know what else to say to "revive hope" in you guys.....Being 26, suddenly making millions, suddenly selling out arenas, suddenly getting all sorts of attention gives you a creative energy that being 45 years of age and just sitting at home with your $150 million does not give you. It is impossible for the fire to still be there.

    Also remember, Eminem blew up when there was no such thing as social media. He could rip on celebrities and literally had the entire platform to himself. Memes weren't even a thing back then. Eminem literally had a captive audience all to himself that is impossible for an artist to have in this day an age to the extent that he did. MMLP1 drops today he is not doing 10 million. s---, if GRODT dropped today, 50 cent is doing 3 million, tops. Most people would actually probably reject 50 cent if he came out today due to changes in the culture.

    Eminem is never going to go to TRL and the shut down Times Square because the crowds are so big. People don't even leave their houses for s--- like that anymore like they used to.

    Also, paying to hear Eminem rap about his problems in year 2000 America when you were 15 might have been really appealing - well today those fans are 32, the country is far different, and they have their own d--- problems to worry about.

    Those days are gone guys, and never coming back. Em's different and so are you.

    He's doing a lot of interviews. Hope he doesn't just disappear again for years after releasing two videos

    Might be.
    I'm not ruling out Em's role in here. He has also made his share of terrible decisions. But label is at the top. He's supposed to agree with them too no matter how much big he is.

    I think it's almost impossible to be this much cleared, focused and being so f----- up in your head to put Heat, Need Me, Remind Me in your album lmao.

    This was his last album under the contract from what I've been hearing around. He might sign, might not.

    I hope he doesn't.
    An independent Eminem with all the power in his hands will change his music completely (I hope at least)

    Well, it's a skill you've been honing for decades upon decades. (Talking about multisyllabic rhyming)

    Yeah, I've been doing this for a long time, but it doesn't necessarily mean that the songs are better.

    Next album confirmed classic

    He seriously needs to go jay z style and make the next album with only one producer (maybe Just Blaze?). His music demands cohesiveness.

    Paul, Rick and maybe Em himself are the culprits. Label itself could be. I saw a report in 2015 that Em was in studio recording with f---ing Big KRIT. Where's that collaboration now? He must be having h--- lot of gold just lying in his vault, which he should open.
