It's official now. People are going crazy over the ''Framed'' video. There was nothing wrong with the video. It isn't the worst video of all time, but people are saying it is. Unbelievable...

And now people are saying he's too old to be making songs like ''Framed.'' Some people are glorifying ''Relapse'' now. And some people hate it. This just proves that Eminem was right in ''Walk on Water.'' Whatever direction he goes, at least half of you are going to complain.

Think about it.... There's really no direction he can go. One guy said ''3 AM'' was his best video ever and ''Framed'' was his worst ever. There's really no direction he can go. That's why he made ''Walk on Water.'' Seriously, there just isn't. If he makes a serious MMLP type album you'll say he's too old. If he makes TES type album you'll say it's not hard enough. If he makes a Revival you'll say it's not cohesive. If he makes a funny album you'll say that he's unfunny. There's NOWHERE to GO.

If you want him to retire, then fine. But it's his choice and I don't know what your expectations are anymore. You want to be impressed. But whatever direction he goes, you will nitpick anything.

Just go on other forums, people are enjoying the video.

This forum is slowly dying, legit members are leaving and trollers/r----- are staying.

The same thing his happening in Kendrick/Drake/Life etc..

This exactly. He owes notjijg to anyone except himself.

He doesn't need the money, he doesn't need the fame. Let thean do whatever he enjoys.

No matter what bars he comes with we're gonna harp, gripe, and that's a hard Vicodin to swallow

Honestly as long as he makes music true to himself and what he wants to do instead of trying to appease the fans then he'd be alright

Here is the truth about mega-music stars: unless they die tragically, way, way before their time (2pac, Biggie, Janis Joplin, Hendrix, Lennon), they wind up getting sh---ed on by a large percentage of their fanbase: Elvis, The Rolling Stones, Phish, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Eminem, Whitney Houston, Dave Matthews, Paul McCartney, Billy Joel, U2, Springsteen, etc have all caught major s--- from their fans for "falling off".

My theory as to why this happens - the older Eminem fan in 2018 that wants the 2002 Eminem back, wants to feel the way they did back in 2002, not the way they feel in 2018. Perhaps they remember bumping TES in 2002 a college dorm room surrounded by different young women every single weekend having the time of their lives. In 2018 they are bumping Revival while sitting in rush hour traffic coming home from a job they hate, while going home to a s-----y marriage.
It's the nostaligia for our younger selves that makes us want the "better" Eminem back. Really we just want the better us back.
