    Eminem s--- talking MMLP2

    Can you talk more about the nerdy aspect of rapping? The way you rap, which is so much about technical proficiency, is not what’s currently in style. Does that affect how you think about what you do? You have to know that your music is hitting the ears of younger listeners differently than it’s hitting your own.
    It’s something I think about, and on the album I move in and out of flows to show that not everything I do is about being technical. But on a technical level, I’ve been rapping for so long that — I’m not going to say it’s easy — but I can just think of more s--- to rhyme with other s---. One of my regrets on the last album was putting out verses that were too long because I couldn’t get the rhymes to stop. I kept thinking of rhymes that kept the scheme going. That ability is something that makes a difference for me, and it’s why on a technical level I’m doing intricate stuff. It’s just easier for me to rhyme than when I first started.

    How are you supposed to chase the first Marshall Mathers LP by dropping mostly pop songs ? And he really should update himself, nowadays Relapse is seen by most as his best album post-hiatus.

    When you are a real artist. Musical artist, a musician whatever, you do kinda have to have your own lane. Here's the thing, with EVERY SINGLE music artist,whether is rap,rock,pop,jazz,funk etc. they always get that criticism from their fans "oh it's not old Kanye,oh it's not old Eminem,oh it's not old..." but if you put out good music it will not matter. They always want the artist to be like they once were but that's not possible.They have to move on,create something different. Good but different. And with every passing chapter in their music career they will say they miss them when they made music like that but the good music will be there, just different.

    He's not wrong.

    Also Revival is his 9th best album.

    Eminem says MMLP is his best album and he wants to make something liek it again

    How close to the peak of your capabilities do you think you are right now? I think I remember reading something Bob Dylan said about how in the mid-’60s the music flowed from him in a way it never really did after. He could still find inspiration, but not quite like in those days. I know this is a corny way of putting it, but do you feel like you’re as close to the fire as you’ve always been?
    In some ways yes and in some ways no. I will say this: I am forever chasing The Marshall Mathers LPReleased in 2000, Eminem’s third album is home to some of his most aggressive, creative, violent, popular, controversial, and best work. It’s the album that prompted Lynne Cheney to condemn him on the Senate floor, and has sold more than 11 million copies. In 2013, Eminem released a sequel album, The Marshall Mathers LP 2.

    Great interview.

    The written interviews are usually his bests. Or the audio ones. He rarely says anything when it's on camera.

    A trash album is still trash even if he made it trash on purpose. No coherent theme tone or otherwise makes this easily his worst album.
