Sep 16, 2015 Agree with this, but it's a little different when talking about Eminem. Somebody like Kobe Bryant hasn't ruined his legacy the last few years because he put in GOAT work for 18 years. With Em, we're talking about pre-hiatus (99-04) - post-hiatus (09-15). That's roughly the same amount of years for all you math majors out there. He was one of the greatest and his prime run is comparable to anybody you consider a rap legend, but aside from Recovery, a few tracks on Relapse, Shady XV, and KND, he's been mostly bad post hiatus to the point where you say, how can the guy who makes songs like Taking My Ball, Insane, a------ be the same one who made MMLP & TES? If we're talking athletes, Em is like T-Mac. GOAT talent but couldn't keep his s--- together and fell off as the years went on.
