    This might sound a bit over observational but I think it’s down to insecurity why he covers himself up

    Definitely is

    Post-overdose he got this weird nervous twitch (that I wanna say has went away post-recovery)

    He definitely got scarred as a person when he became an addict and got fat and everyone made fun of him and that has trickled into himself personally and his music, that's why everything he does is so awkward

    I mean, I do it. I'll keep a hat on indoors if I had it on outside sometimes. But obviously they do get away with more stuff just because of fashion.

    I feel like he's just hiding his age, and I don't blame him. He doesn't look bad at all tbh, though. But you can tell the difference from Recovery to now.

    He's hiding everything

    Just watch his interviews (especially early comeback, relapse and recovery), he can barely function like a normal person and that's not hating on him it's just the truth. He used to nervously twitch and and just his body language overall was super conservative

    Even his onstage performances were awkward, relapse especially where he would stand in one spot without even looking at the crowd...and then later on recovery duck walking and the same 4 hand/arm movements over and over and over

    His addiction and overdose f----- him up

    Not disagreeing with any of this at all, it's what can happen. He obviously has been super insecure physically during times in his career, and even speaks on it.

    It's a bit sad, always noticed all this stuff you're talking about.

    You can probably trace back every negative thing about him and pin it to his social awkwardness, even today with his weird stop and go flow and not bouncing on beats. Not singing hooks that he would have in the past, instead delegating it to generic female singers instead

    Relapse being panned and sh---ed on was the last dagger in his confidence. He was ready to regain his swag back and got stomped out to never return

    Seeing recently Relapse freestyles after the buzz of new content, you could just see that confidence in him again. I have been thinking about this a lot recently in his voice and stop and go flow. I wish he could just open his shell again, he'd flow so much better and his voice wouldn't be so nasally. It makes it so much harder to connect with what he's actually saying. I believe he's rapping now the same way he did back in the day in a lot of senses, but it's just his voice. Honestly, I remember first time hearing MMLP2 it was off-putting.

    Except that g.d. beat is a classic. What a waste. h--- all of relapse has wasted 10/10 beats.

    She looks terrible in some pictures/videos and then stunning in others. It is weird. Those females who look great and awful at various points in time always confuse the f--- out of me. I like the ones who are either attractive or not. Make-up will only make them hotter or do nothing if they are ugly. hahaha. I don't know. I think Liz is more attractive. Dina had better songs with Em. I miss Dina Rae. Just for Old Times Sake (:eminem2:) I want her to have an unaccredited sample on his final solo album. Drug Ballad Pt. 2, n-----!:pfffft:

    If those songs would've been on TES instead of Drips and When The Music Stops. TES would've been as good as Illmatic.
