May 10, 2024 Yeah when Denace and corny Hopsin soundalikes use it. But if Eminem did it to de-age his voice and actually came with a decent verse I think it could be fire. Plus it would be much better done than some random Youtuber.
May 10, 2024 Drake and Kdot beef has officially concluded. It's our time! See you all on June 7th for a classic album from Em
May 10, 2024 I don't think he can do it. We've had a few attempts at lose yourself/till i collapse remakes but nothing from the 99/2001 era imo. Closest he got was during that strange 2015/Shady XV era where he would occasionally do the weird voice mixed with his then current style and it sounded like vomit shat from his anus. He probably feels that in terms of writing it would be like stepping down to a lower level. The only thing I can say is that I noticed a few lines in Realest and Doomsday pt.2 where the cadence seems similar to some songs from SSLP but I'm probably reaching (the 4 bars about Gen Z and shooting up schools from Realest and the "go at his neck how the f--- is that, how can I go at something he doesn't have and the next 2 bars in Doomsday)
May 10, 2024 But if the goal is to recreate vintage Eminem it will always fall flat. Only Eminem himself could convincingly do it but the verses would have to live up to the voice. Something like Walkthrough.
May 10, 2024 You’d have to hope he actually took it seriously & dug through old notepads for bars written in that era because there’s no chance he can reproduce it now.
May 10, 2024 Even if he did that he could never truly reproduce his old self. It's simply not possible. All I'm saying is only Eminem could make it work in the sense of being interesting.
May 10, 2024 Eminem is very hit or miss these days. But parts of his b--- verse for example with the prime voice could sound amazing if done right.
May 10, 2024 I just really don't like artists using something that's not actually real, like I don't find it cool or interesting.
May 10, 2024 Eminem just had a magic ability when writing/delivering his verses from SSLP -> TES. His great use of imagery, witty punchlines and channeling his emotions on the records in a great way. Some of SSLP writing was just shock value stuff that isn’t perfect, but a lot of it is super clever and out-of-the-box. We’ll see if he can tap into it on this next project or not
May 10, 2024 In this scenario AI doesn't mean "not real", in the sense that it would be a bot rapping lol. It would be Eminem rapping with his voice modified to sound 20 years younger with the help of AI utilizing samples of his real voice. Not essentially different from layered vocals or other vocal modifications that are used all the time if you think about it.
May 10, 2024 It’d be cool even if it was just a quick time-warp like what he did on So Far… with I’m Back & The Real Slim Shady beats, but with the voice this time.
May 10, 2024 I think after hearing Jimmy, Brain & Mike & Is This Love, it might be corny if he does the Eminem vs Slim Shady concept for full songs. I hope it’s more metaphorical than literal on the album.
