Sep 23, 2021 Have you seen this 2 part interview? They seem to paint a different picture to what you’re describing: Jeff states that they had to consistently tell Em to ‘slow down’ because they couldn’t tell what he was saying & they’d write instrumentals to match the mood he was expressing when he entered the studio on the specific sessions etc. This type of rapping is prominent in his old stuff pre-Bass Brothers which is a much more simplified version of what he is today, so it adds up: I understand Luis is involved but he’s clearly not a good or even a critical influence into the final product, I think he’s merely a helper to Eminem’s vision, rather than a guide which is what Em had in the past & still requires. The whole narrative that Em cannot make music as good as the past because he’s older is a moot point, people do exactly that, it’s a generalised statement. Look at R.A. The Rugged Man, making the best music of his life and his pen is sharper than ever, he’s been in the game since the 90s too. The difference is he has good influences around him, has taste & isn’t guided by commercial heights neither.
Sep 23, 2021 He’ll just continuously give himself a window of opportunity then when it lands he’ll say he was ‘right’ lol
Sep 23, 2021 Give up on that source man. Completely bs. Knows much as me, you and everyone else and just getting off by gaining clout by claiming he in the know how. Not even a good fake either. Soon as you claim anything is coming in a certain time frame that is just guessing. Once it passes, it be issue with the music or what ever and then claim another time frame.
Sep 23, 2021 Yes I've seen those interviews. The bass brothers contradict themselves and their story many times over the years. They also worked with him early on when he would rap fast af, then stopped and then picked up with him again later. And luis is a helper to Eminems vision....that's what he's supposed to be. I hate the takes of people saying someone needs to tell him to do this and that. An artist needs to be an artist and if they wanna do what they wanna do they're gonna do it. The minute you start taking any and everyone's advice is when you're opening the door to pandering. so which is it, Em wants to rap like a battle MC or he's guided by commercial standards? Bc all of your suggestions are to do things like he used to do and what he used to do is what got him the commercial success. You also say all of his punchlines s---, but then talk about how great his Friday night cypher verse is which is riddled with punchlines. Maybe I look at it differently bc I do music and engineer, but I dont think artist need constant opinions on everything they do. That's making it too much of a collaborative effort for a solo artist. And yes, many hands are involved with a record but theres nothing wrong with how he raps. I don't like alot of the fast stuff either, I like it when it makes sense ir has smooth transitions, but some of yall are acting like every song is triple time. And LOL at giving RA that much praise right now.
Sep 23, 2021 Context is important. A cypher verse being riddled with punchlines is to be expected, a song where he’s supposed to be honing in on storytelling shouldn’t have basic filler bars like awful similes. His punchlines aren’t top tier but not all of them s--- and I mostly appreciate his cypher-type verses in the right context usually for the flows more than anything, that’s something he’s only gotten better at over the years but technical showcases aren’t everything, we’re talking about the quality of the music here. The commercial standards is in the production, the music around him, from the beats to the hooks. Em himself is rapping like a battle emcee at every given point, even when it’s completely unnecessary & that’s the point I’m making. It’s not like I’m saying anything controversial, this is known by most hip hop fans that he has become distasteful for quite awhile now, he can’t read the room. Working with musicians who have a greater understanding of melodies and moods regarding instruments isn’t ‘pandering’ at all, it’s utilising talent & the greatest do that. Regarding the R.A. comment, I’m not sure what you’re attempting to say? As his last album ‘All My Heroes Are Dead’ is explicitly everything Em’s fans would want from him in this part of his career. I do music too, so I’m familiar with what’s going on.
Sep 23, 2021 It's G-Eazy, his album These Things Happen Too drops September 24. She probably heard a white rapper was dropping Friday and got too excited
Sep 23, 2021 G-Eazy been stuck in a creative hole for awhile now, expect him to continue rapping about coke and f---ing hoes for 20 tracks with the exact same flow.
Sep 23, 2021 Who is this person lol? In the last 24 hours he/she tweeted about 50 potential new album drops amongst a variety of artists
Sep 23, 2021 I agree with all this, but I have to say it's not on every song that I have this impression
