Sorry for the long a--- post.... but had to get this off the dome...


This thread and the varying answers all in all, Is an absolutely perfect example of exactly why EM is at this point as an artist whereby he is failing to meet expectations. It's simple really. Those expectations..... (I don't wanna even use the word 'high') are just exponentially 'unrealistic' that's the problem these days.

Literally it seems like everyone to a man (or woman) wants something from Marshall completely different to the next person.

Em is diverse or at least has been throughout the years, and as such that has attracted a broad demographic of followers who all appreciate different aspects of his music. If individuals don't get the exact styles/punches/features/beats/voices & layering/production/subject matter that they desire.... they are just gonna flat out hate on the project, because em didn't cater exactly to their desires.

It's a legacy issue. It's the era we live in.

I'm honestly fully confident that if em came out in 2017.... with an album quality wise, on par with The Eminem Show....
It would still get a s--- load of hate and whining about the content. There was no legacy and a nearly 20 year career run back then to hold him up to a pedestal like we do now. There was no nostalgia clouding judgement. It was all happening in real time.

Hindsight does weird things to us. A lot of peeps see the past as the 'good ol times' it's a natural human trait. Atomically almost makes anything old 'golden' to a person at least psychologically.

U remember that s-----y kids programme on TV when you were young? Or that film that you used to watch near on every day until you got older and found weed and women. When you watch that s--- back now as a grown man.... you can see as an adult in comparison.... actually that s--- s----d... 'BUT I loved it'. It will always hold a place in your heart.

It can be the exact opposite too. You miss the wave on certain tings when you're young because if doesn't peek you radar as an adolescent... you discover it years later.... and you 'think d--- that s--- was good, how did I miss this way back when'.

Point I'm making is nostalgia can without a doubt cloud a persons judgement on quality, in the exact same way that, fate and timing can also affect ones perception on an artist/project. If the first time you had ever heard of eminem as an adult was Encore for Example, would it have been quality enough to have had enough of an impact on you to mean you start checking for him as an artist, and delving into his back catalogue etc?

Same question applied to a teenager.... it would be a completely different perception.

Bottom line.... This dude is too 'open market' now. Everyone has an opinion, and he's gonna end up falling short 99.9 percent of you peoples expectations because you all want a different aspect of things he's done in the past. And if he tries something new, you'll probably flat out hate it because it's not what you're used to.

Marshall can't win now. Lol. f--- it at this point, he owns no one anything, and should just be making music for himself. If you like it sweeeeeet go cop it.... if you don't you had a good run as a fan.... move on and appreciate the 'good ol days' for what they were to you.

Either way people will continue to go back and forth, and this polarising analysis of his material will continue way into the next decade.

And those that 'don't like his music anymore' (yet still make threads about him): Marshall couldn't give a f--- less anyway so go listen to someone else

That was one of the best tracks from MMLP2 era.
