    Is it for the fans or does he feel the need to change

    All that I know is that it's getting to the point that his identity is becoming alien

    The only music he has put out recently with his original idendity is KND and maybe Fine Line even though the delivery and flow is terrible on it

    How do you think KND was like old Em?

    He always says that he wants each album to sound different than the others. Which he has deff succeeded in doing.

    Lyrical content, the bridge

    Obviously the hook and production has no nostalgic feeling to it

    I don't really see it... I feel like KND is pretty generic, I don't hate it but it doesn't remind me of his old music at all

    I don't even think he knows why he keeps changing his style

    Exactly. I could open a restaurant and serve sandwiches with s--- in them to be different, but, at the end of the day, it's still a s--- sandwich.

    Em's been serving us some real s--- sandwiches these days.

    That's your opinion

    But that bridge does take me back

    I can tolerate the fast flow on tracks like Speedom and Rap God but it doesn't seem to fit anywhere else

    Relapse style and flow only worked for a few songs

    The only style that really worked for me is the Recovery style and yeah he yelled a lot but he actually sounded like Eminem

    Oh yeah for sure. I think as fans, if he still has it in him, would love to see A TES again.

    So he doesn't sound like Drake, meaning every song and album doesn't sound exactly the same.

    His slow MMLP2 style on tracks like "Rhyme Or Reason", " a------ " & "Brainless" is the closest he's gotten to classic Em aside from "Ridaz", " Going Through Changes" and "The Warning"

    I think he's obsessed with trying to be innovative and trying to constantly evolve. Unfortunately it hasn't been for the best lately.

    I'd put Evil Twin and Groundhog Day up there as well

    He ran out of things to say, so he focuses on how it is said instead.
