    You're a bit all over the place. You not liking something has nothing to do with him not evolving. I haven't liked anything Eminem has released in the past 10 years but I can still aknowledge the fact that his music has evolved over the years.

    Again, his music being bad and him evolving are 2 different things :')

    Not sure why you're bringing your feelings in the equation. Eminem's music has evolved over the years. You not liking what he puts out is perfectly fine. I don't like the s--- he's been doing either. But that doesn't mean he hasn't evolved.

    If your definition of evolving would be Eminem rapping on a trap beat or something Migos or Future would use, then I guess he hasn't evolved lol.

    Brother in my opinion his music is bad because his flow is annoying and his punchlines are cringe.
    And also on top of that he is not evolving because he still has dusty producers on his albums and washed features do you get it now.
    Also i am not but hurt you are twisting things here

    Not migos beats thats terrible for him. In my opinion he should get new beats because he could refine his raps on there

    But he has been working with more new artists then he ever has....

    When he started out he would work with the Bass Brothers, Dre and would produce himself. He kept a tight circle

    These days he works with a bunch of new producers and artists. Just check the credits from his albums. A lot of the songs are produced from modern producers and feature modern artists.

    I honestly don't give a s--- if you think his music is bad or that he is cringe. That has nothing to do with his music evolving. Not sure what you don't understand.

    Your opinion about his music has honestly nothing to do with it. Unless you think evolving is only when you like something.

    Ok so now you have completely deviated from your original statement which was Eminem has not evolved.

    Found myself revisiting Em's first 3 albums again recently and as always, absolutely mindblown at how insanely good they are. I still like some of his post-hiatus music but Jesus, I'm not sure there's ever been such a decline in quality spanning a single career. Cut it off at TES/8Mile and I'm still convinced he's Top 5 DOA. s--- even throw Encore and Relapse in the mix and he's still one of the greatest to have ever done it. Almost everything that came after that just diminishes the impact so much though. Its like a completely different artist. But credit where its due, for a few years back then he was an easy contender for best rapper alive.

    He's evolved in terms of the producers and artists he works with. And maybe some of his flows have evolved. But his lyrical content (for the most part) hasn't evolve much. He still usually raps about the same exact subjects over and over again.
