    He could easily please all his fans and he wouldn’t even have to put in any work.


    Just release a album with unreleased tracks from 98-2003

    Simple

    He’s a victim of himself. He has spent many, many years being the focus of his own albums. His life and everything that has happened to him. Now that he’s sober and he stays locked away in his house there isn’t anything new going on that people will find interesting. That’s where his struggles begin.

    He needs a career renaissance and to pivot away from his life and his struggles. Hopefully that’s what revival will do and going forward we’ll hear Eminem being passionate again. The one thing he can’t do is go back and talk about the same s--- he’s been talking about for the last ten years.

    If eminem sounded like he did on TES with a similar flow no one would be bitching. He just needs to make good music again and the majority will be happy with it. He's been s--- for too long which is why finally everyone turned on him other than the Stan's born after 2000

    this to the max. Theres a reason why Kanye's or even Kendrick's discographies are really powerful. They touch on subjects that not only focuses themselves, but also incorporates their insanities with the newfounded struggles our state or our society faces today. They blend these struggles in with an amalgamation of genres ranging from gospel to jazz to rock and roll, and fuses them under the hip hop brand. Em has been so fkin selfish about his material lately that people cant even relate to. I mean, how the f--- is anyone going to connect with Em's insecurities in Walk on Water or his dualities in Monster or Survival if 90 percent of his fan base has never reached that level of success. We dont know how it feels to be Em but Em is just forcing this s--- on us cus thats how he feels..

    He did try to incorporate the Beastie Boys vibe into his MMLP2 but god d--- Rick Rubin let us down so bad. The only true Beasties rock throwback was Berzerk, and even then, Rick Rubin thought that the production of that song was garbage. Idk tho, I think Em just needs to take a page out of Kanye or Kendrick's albums and just go concept on this or the next LP.

    I believe I’m in the minority when I think that MMLP2, as an album name, was a good fit for what we got.
    MMLP was very much a snapshot of his life at the time of recording. His struggle with becoming a megastar pretty much overnight, the controversies his music created, the hypocrisy of said controversies etc.
    with MMLP2 we get a snapshot of what it’s like being Eminem at that point. A man struggling to reconcile his past and move forward, a mans who loves what fame has given him but hates being famous and a look into his every day life. There was not a single chance we were getting something as explosive as the first MMLP. It would be impossible. He’s relatively stable at this point in his life and nowhere near as controversial.

    Honestly I really like MMLP2. Outside of two songs the entire album(bonus tracks included) is very solid. The rick Rubin production is a love/hate thing and I happen to be on the love side of it. He made a sequel to Stan, he made a sequel(for the most part) to the way I am with so far. He reconciled with his mom for christ’s Sake lol.

    With that being said that chapter of his career should be closed. He has to move beyond himself moving forward to remain relevant. Concept albums not centered around himself would be the way to go.
