    Disorderly Progress What's cookin?

    Sep 17, 2020
    We're living in it.

    2018-present.

    Relapse always had its love, but he didn't see it through and there's a couple blemishes on it; Recovery was huge but obviously very flawed, MMLP2 has a lot of amazing rapping, some great songs, but also a lot of confusion and s-----y compromises & Revival is f---ing garbage. The result of an extremely confused artist at his lowest.

    Then he comes back with Kamikaze - watertight, musically and thematically. Nothing is out of place, the whole thing works and he finally showed some restraint and that he does still know how to put a cohesive album together again - then 'Murder continued that; a little more experimental, a little more varied, but still super cohesive and great.

    Two great albums in a row. We're in his 2nd prime.

    Personally I like where he’s at right now. Whether you like his music now or not, it at the very least doesn’t sound forced. It sounds authentic and feels like Eminem. Which is refreshing after that huge dip in quality starting with MMLP2 (which I liked don’t get me wrong, I just feel his music at this era was starting to feel inauthentic). Right now he sounds like he’s enjoying himself again. I find it hard to believe the same person who made ShadyXV, made MTBMB.

    Second prime was def the Recovery era. Then a huge slip. Then a third from 2018 which he's still in.

    Lol cant believe some people consider Recovery era as a prime for him. His popularity grew bigly no doubt, but music was meh.

    His second prime is from 2018-still to this day. Hopefully it continues til he hangs it up.

    It's weird.
    In 2010-2013, I wasn't really feeling Eminem's music like that as a fan but that was the period where he had tons of bandwagon fans, especially high schoolers. You had people who only listened to Not Afraid and Rap God calling themselves stans...lol. It was a good time to be a casual Eminem fan or seeing the love he got but, imho, it was not a good time to be a core Em fan.

    2018 and onward, Eminem doesn't really get the same casual or bandwagon fans like he had in the 2010-2013 era, but his albums have definitely improved and are more geared towards his core audience.

    So, for me, 2018 and onward is his new prime as far as albums/rapping goes but Em is also simultaneously more loathed in this era which is kind of funny to me.

    To each their own, but why? In your opinion

    The voice he uses is grating on the ears, the mixing is s---, the content for what the hook implies is irrelevant, it’s off beat... sure, it’s Eminem so it’s probably in some sort of pocket I’m not noticing, but it just sounds like
    He had a couple acapella verses kicking around that he added “that’s more likely than finding someone that’s right for me” at the end of the verses.

    2010 was his second prime
    2020 will be potentially approaching his third prime; with what he said in the Kid Cudi song from "Fk's goin on man?!" onward about masks; & the election coming up; covid; BLM; "current events" in general et al, maybe he'll again seize the moment cheah!!! If so imo he def needs to really really slow his speed down and enunciate his words like he did '98-02 (the Kid Cudi and Fat Joe verses give me hope toward this--that people can finally again understand the words he's saying on the first listen). anyways cheahcheahchehacheahhchea!

    Comercially-wise yes. When it comes to quality I would say 2018-present, but I don’t really think he ever had a second prime.
