    is something no other mainstream rapper is capable of writing, Wayne comes close but he cant touch that level of poetry...i feel the reason i hate Eminem is knowing he is capable of writing something sincerely beautiful but he doesnt bother to most of the time

    read the following and go ahead and deny it, but deep down you know your favorite rapper cant be this good

    So, one last time, I'm back, before it fades into black
    And it's all over, behold the final chapter in a saga
    Tryin' to recapture that lightning trapped in a bottle
    Twice, the magic that started
    It all, tragic portrait of an artist
    Tortured, trapped in his own drawings
    Tap into thoughts blacker and darker
    Than anything imaginable; here goes a wild stab in the dark
    As we pick up where the last Mathers left off

    True Story.

    EM needs to concentrate on content and structure rather than obsessing with double times flows and throwaway punchlines.

    Amazing verse, one of his comeback classics he sounds so aware of what impact he's made and where he stands now.

    Oh and I was lucky enough to witness Em performing Bad Guy live for the first time ever

    It was the first track...after waiting in Wembley for so long a video finally played & it was about the revenge on Em. The video played for about 5 mins, the curtains went down, and then Em appeared & started the final verse of Bad Guy in front of 90,000 people. That s--- was crazy. Then straight into Square Dance with a full stadium going crazy..

    So f---ing good

    poetically speaking it's impressive, but the accuracy of it elevates it to another level. It really is frustrating knowing he can say shot like this but never seems to want to.

    Don't Front wasn't included on the main album because they couldn't get the sample cleared in time before the album had to be turned in to the label.

    It is frustrating knowing there is so much raw talent there but he lacks consistency and direction. If this next album does ever come out I feel like there will be some introspective s--- on there. He's really taking his time so it's either going to be one of his deeper/more cohesive projects or completely all over the place.

    I remember first hearing the song & realising that it was a sequel to Stan, which on paper is so f---ing risky considering just how good it was. But man... Em did the impossible. That last verse gave me goosebumps on the first few listens

    I really do hope we get something similar on his next album. The way he wrote it and the way it flowed, to the fading out at the end...d---

    Sorry did not mean to repost. But those lyrics are some of my favorite words he has written in sequence in a long time

    Focus on content.. Quit trying to prove u can rap fast.. We get it Em.. Ur good at it but it's not enjoyable to listen to.. Em is at his best when he could flow so smoothly, you knew every word to his songs after just a couple listens.. These days I can't even understand what the f--- he's sayin most of the time..

    He just can't do it. It's just not there. I'm not being a hater. I used to be a MASSIVE fan. He doesn't have the capability. Look at how socially awkward and mechanical he is like with his OCD and pointless multis and s---. He's not capable of drawing from emotion anymore which was always his greatest ability. Since being sober he'd be so routine based etc. He's turned into a robot.

    Look at all his recent songs. The technical part is ALWAYS the prominent part. He's just "rapping" but it's not song writing.
