Eminem fell off?

August 16, 2007 7:26am CST
Does anybody else think that Em has fallen off? 'Encore' imo, was a really bad album, most of the songs lacked substance and he adopted some stupid new mumbling flow, like 50 cent or somethin, and now seems to always make rubbish club music and club bangers, something which is killing hip hop! I say this of course with the minor exception of 'Mosh' in which we saw a bit of the old Em shine through! Come on! I miss the 'The Marsham Mathers LP' Eminem! I personally think he needs to ditch 50 cent, all of a sudden rappers think they can't sell records unless they beef, talk about fast cars, jewllery, ho's n b*tches, or shooting people

I have to admit I liked his earlier stuff better myself even though he is still great to me. I like him better by along without 50 cent myself also.

Exactly 50 Cent in the reason for the movement that is Hip Hop dying, i had respect for Fifty when he was signed to Columbia, i.e. 'The Power Of The Dollar' days that album was good, songs like 'Lifes on the line' and 'how to rob' were good songs, then he got greedy and the money and fame took over and suddenly he thinks hes King of NY

eminem is not as good as he used to be but i think the reason we dont see his true ability is down to th=e commercial side. i mean songs like shake that azz sell alot f copies and i think he is forced into doing these type. also sometimes there just a bit of fun

Yer i get what your saying, but songs can still be commericial without failing on quality e.g. Jay-Z with songs on the blueprint such as 'Girls, Girls Girls' and 'H to the Izzo'. Just with Eminem im failing to see how come hes changed into this mumbling flow and nearly every song on encore seemed pointless like 'Big Weenie' and '1st single', i mean nearly on every song he had a farting noise, it just seemed so out of place for Em and so immature

As long as he doesn't lose his looks or crappy attitude, I'm cool with it. I would like to hear some more of his anti-political stuff tho. Without Me was the best one yet...

Well he is getting a bit older, not sure if that has anything to do with it. I personally enjoyed Encore, just like I have enjoyed every other Eminem CD I have listend to. Encore had some good songs on it, though its just my opinion.
