He owes us nothing. Reached his pinnacle and could very well have gone the way of Kurt Cobain. I'm happy he came back and gave us some good music. Still, I hope hope he does more

Concept(s)

Content, content & content.

No more dumb similes or “purposely” bad wordplay.

Now he’s pretty much perfected the album he’s been trying to make since Kamikaze, he needs to move on from this battle rap/dictionary rap hybrid & start making more connected projects.

We used to get an artistic evolution from Em with each album, this one has been slower which is to be expected at this career point & with how many projects he’s been pumping out over the last couple of years.

I think the only way to successfully do this is lock in with 1 or a group of in house producers & make the album front to back together.

1. Strong emphasis on concept songs similar to Stan, Bad Guy, etc or or a whole concept album similar to Good Kid Maad City/d--- by Kendrick. He excels in that area.

2. Put out an album full of soul samples or Boom Bap style beats similar to what Jay-Z did on 4:44 or Gibb's latest works. It'd be nice to see Em dabble in rapping over that style of production, especially as an OG in the game.

3. Collaborate with more lyrical rappers outside the Shady/Slaughterhouse group such as Kendrick, Gibbs, Cole, Lupe Fiasco, Kodak Black, Wayne, Roc Marciano, Ka, Elzhi(who's literally from Detroit), etc.

4. Don't focus on critics or detractors anymore post MTBMB. Just don't pay attention to them any more.

That's basically it.

okay heres the best answer

a mixtape of old school production/flips like Dont Front featuring OG rappers like rakim treach nas jay z dmz tribe called quest snoop dre etc u get the idea

BME 2 10 tracks em can have his technical rapping limited to something like this , first project was amazing

new album - all dre/eminem/bass brothers/luis rusto/elizondo production vocal layering no trap beats good mix of serious/mature/emotionally driven records and fun/less heavy tracks features from 50 Obie and Xzibit bonus disc with 3 unreleased tracks from 01-03

a couple scrapped d12 tracks featuring proof unreleased verses

detroit artist collab project elzhi black milk proofs son big sean king gordy and a j dilla beat

I honestly think he perfected puns/wordplay to the extent that they can be dialed back for sure in the future. I know he could have reasonably dropped them a long time ago but I think that he has been wanting to develop them since like Recovery and they are the tightest, most clever and best integrated into the overall enjoyability of his music that they ever have been on Side B. I mean we've went from "I'm an uncooked slab of beef laying on your kitchen floor / Other words I'm off the meat rack" to "Take a foe out like fee fi fum" Even if you've never enjoyed wordplay Em you have to acknowledge the mastery he's achieved in that area of his rapping.

But yeah, I think moving forward we could stand to dial it back a bit since it seems like there's nowhere to go from here in the realm of wordplay except for more of what we already got on MTBMB/Side B. Which might get stale? I dunno.
