Ill go really in detail with this to give an explanation to my opinion, Imo Eminems music has gotten better every year since 2010. Recovery I find to be a low for him. Even with as f----- as the subject matter was on Relapse, he still had great melodies and GREAT production which is the excuse so many other rappers get but for some reason not Eminem. A lot of Recovery was either melodramatic s--- or cluttered with horrible puns. Some really good songs like Spacebound, Seduction, Going Through Changes and even LTWYL. But then there are cringeworthy earsores like Almost Famous and Cold Wind Blows with melodies that make me want to blow my brains out.

MMLP2 was a huge step up. "Bad Guy" alone blew everything he did since returning barring a few songs out of the water. The lyricism improved dramatically and the concepts and the approach were way less boring and mundane than Recovery. Look at the approach on songs like Headlights, Rhyme or Reason, Legacy, Brainless, The Monster (again an annoying hit, but he showed up on that track) Survivor was probably the low but that was for Call of Duty, otherwise Em probably wouldve replaced it with Dont Front. The bonus tracks were Godly as well. Clearly this album was way more introspective and honest then Recoverys superhero s---. The production left something to be desired, but if Dre exec produced that joint and not Rubin that album might have been incredible. The classic rock stuff and the disorriented production was where I had a disconnect with MMLP2. It was like I was listening from mashups from 3 different albums, stylistically.

Shady XV was probably his least flawed performance since returning. His lyricism, bar for bar, blew me away. Especially on Psychopath Killers, Vegas, Right for Me and ShadyXV. It was another huge step up on this project with his brutal honesty on some tracks (Fine Line, Die Alone, Guts Over Fear). I probably enjoyed what he did on there way more than other people here, I dont think he had even had one verse even close to bad on here.

Now in 2015 he started the year off with "Best Friend" a phenomenal f---ing track. This song doesnt get enough credit man. I knew hed have a good year after dropping that and he did. Kings Never Die and Medicine Man are great tracks. Phenomenal was good for what it was. Only s--- I hated was Speedom, it was an earsore.

Honestly I have every reason to be excited for his next album especially since he's acknowledged the flaw with some of his flows and he listens to his fans. His music has been at an uptrend for 5 years imo, but of course youre inclined to your own opinion. What I will say is if you keep comparing modern Eminem to 28 year old prime Eminem, you will never be satisfied no matter what he drops. He will never be what he once was. Take it in individually without other peoples opinons clouding your judgment and you might come to enjoy some of it.
