May 23, 2015 what do you mean staying? have you ever heard of a cellphone? have you ever heard of doing more than one thing at once? do you even know what implying means?
May 23, 2015 Hmm.. Maybe a 5/10... I don't think Eminem is as bad as everyone says, but he's also nowhere near the level he was at. He's kind of just really boring and stale now. He's technically sound with his writing, his flow lacks the charisma and confidence it once had. He doesn't push the envelop creative-wise or boundary-wise either... But, idk, he's not awful... He's just really average to me. He still rhymes real well, he has ups and downs with his one liners, but that's like most artists now. Eminem from 99-03 was captivating and WAY more entertaining to listen to though. It's two totally different rappers. He's kind of just on auto-pilot... I prefer this Eminem than Encore Eminem though. Encore Eminem was a 1/10.
May 23, 2015 Like many have said I think it changes with every song or verse. He's so hit or miss right now.. But the thing is he is always changing. He could drop an album tomorrow and there would be 3 or 4 songs where you just shake your head because he's as good as ever. But if I had to average out his recent work I'd put him at maybe a 5.5ish If prime em is a 10 the only modern artist ranking Semi close is Kendrick at an 8 imo
May 23, 2015 And that's being generous... He was literally the best rapper OAT, and now he is not even above average
May 23, 2015 You think his rhyme schemes have lead to better music? At most, people acknowledge that it's intricate but that it's pointless (like a lot of tracks on relapse) And aside from relapse, you really think he has better production on recovery, mmlp2 etc vs his first projects?
May 23, 2015 I would probably give him a 6/10. Verses like the second half of GOF and songs like Groundhog Day and Brainless show that Eminem is still capable of making good music. What's so d--- frustrating is how often he makes bs music instead.
May 23, 2015 I would say 7/10. He isnt where he was but he still puts out music at a far superior level to most of what is being put out today, talking lyrically, not that he doesnt say cringeworthy things but its true.
May 23, 2015 Holy s---, can't belive these high ratings .. 5 and 8 all over the place. Prime Eminem would litterally demolish current Eminem. His raw voice, on point delivering, 8-10/10 verses for the most parts and stunning flows. All which current Eminem lacks hard
May 23, 2015 he's sharpened up his flows and rhyme schemes, but his content has changed for the worse, and he sold out on production it's like he's trying to appeal to white dads on purpose with those rock samples there
May 23, 2015 Recovery Eminem was a 5 at best. Terrible metaphors and punchlines all over the place and only had a screaming flow.
