    I'd say its less of an issue of Eminem speaking out on black issues, which is fine in principle, but it's more the double-edged sword of his fame and popularity overshadowing the voices of people who legitimately experience the issues being addressed. Like it's nice that the message can reach a potentially wider audience, but at the same time it takes away from the people who need to be heard the most.

    But at the end of the day, I think Eminem does handle these kind of sensitive issues respectfully enough. It's not like every single song is about BLM - he knows there is a time and place and gives a lot of space in the game for other artists to speak out. IMO anyway

    He made Untouchable to address his white demographic that don’t listen to black people.

    So he shouldnt rap about politics, racism, his struggle before fame, his struggle dealing with fame, relationships and shock value.

    What do you want to hear?

    You said it better than I could of have.

    I just put myself in the shoes of black person. You see this rich white guy making money rapping about your struggles. Like who the f--- is this guy talking about my struggles?

    I'm sure Em is genuinely doing this from a good place, but he should just stay in his own lane imo.

    I knew that would come out wrong lol I never said it should have replay value I I'm just saying I don't think it's as replayable as something like stan but stan is a classic so that's not a fair comparison don't get it twisted though I think it's an amazing song

    I agree with you. But to give my opinion, the perfect album I want from him is an album that displays his self awareness of his impact, and is talking to his fans directly, example (Sing for the Moment) the whole 3rd verse or even similar to guts over fear, self empowering. It would be nice to hear em at the end of his career reflect on and acknowledge how much his music means to his base that loves him, instead of defending himself from the people who disrespect him as he has done so much lately, if that makes sense. He has nothing left to prove to any haters, his legacy speaks for itself. I am not complaining about that either, he has pride mans that rage is what makes him who he is. I didn’t even mean to go off this long, I’ll be grateful for anything he gives us, I’m just giving my take on what would be my idea of a perfect final album.

    A blend of Kami and Relapse. Flows, aggression (Ringer), a bit of fun here and there (Must Be the Ganja, Hello, Kamikaze), some conceptual storytelling (Stay Wide Awake), some personal stories (Stepping Stones, Deju Vu), cheeky jabs at the state of the game (Fall), some braggadocio (Greatest) you kinda get the idea. I think MTBMB actually accomplished this in a lot of ways, but I'm always on board to hear new approaches to these kinds of things.

    A lot of people say Revival as an EP wouldve been a near-classic and I'm inclined to agree. Believe, Chlora (Remix), Nowhere Fast, Franed, Castle, Arose tick a lot of boxes of things I'd like to see more from modern Em.

    I think he'd work on a beat like deeper or all caps, but I can't really imagine it.
