Classic Em would slap the taste out of modern Em's mouth if he heard the crap he's been producing.

About a 65-70% complete Detox has been around for awhile if you know where to look for it. It is crazy to think Dre, Jay, Snoop and Nas were going to be on the same album. I couldn't imagine that during the E V W days.
Styles change, people grow up and mature. Em is living a different life now that he is clean and not pistol whipping people.

Eminem was crap in the 2000s and in the present-day his music is even more cringe. This will be bad.
He's not mature. He's just older.
I hope a lot, and I hope in a radio single that hits #1 on rap / pop / rock / country charts.

Awesome, more Em is always welcomed. Though I wasn't a huge fan of MMLP2, I'm excited to see what his next project is with Trump in office. Should be good fun.

His newest stuff is pretty awful but I will listen 100%!

I hope it's good, don't have a lot of faith that it will be. It'd be nice to say "I enjoyed the new Eminem album."
His flow becoming less enjoyable from a listening standpoint isn't a sign of maturation.

"The Slim Shady LP" - "The Eminem Show" Eminem is the greatest rapper of all time, in my opinion.
I do not want this.

As long as working on his own album keeps him away from the Griselda guys, I'm okay with that.
Don't want Conway's GOAT or their other releases to be infested with shitty Eminem production/verses.

Eminem, Jay-Z, Snoop, Kanye and all these ageing legends dropping albums in their 30's and 40's I mean I'm okay with it, but it seems like rappers really put out their best stuff when they are on the "rise" and once they "make it" their motivation and material just drop off. Generally that happens once they hit 30 years old. Kendrick Lamar probably has one really good album left in him before his downward slope begins. I'm not saying aging rappers shouldn't continue releasing albums for their fans, but at the same time we all should know never to expect them to return to their former glory because that will never happen.
Some food for thought though, are Tupac and Biggie are remembered as the best rappers of all time because unlike Eminim, Jay-Z, Snoop, et all we never got to hear their later work? I wonder if releasing sub par late career albums is harming legacies of current >30y/o rappers by diluting their discography

People still like Jay
There are levels between "amazing" and "crap," you know.
Recovery and MMLP2 are good albums. Not amazing, certainly not terrible. (And both are certainly better than Encore, which was the 2004 album you're referring to.)

Well not to get all factual, but...there was random features and Curtain Call greatest hits inbetween Encore and Relapse. And inbetween MMLP2 and now he has released a compilation album and a soundtrack.
Oh you mean relapse where half the songs were about raping and killing people!!
Thats definitely it. Nirvana is also remembered so fondly because of so few albums.

4:44 was a good album.
To be fair, Relapse is basically a mainstream horrorcore album where he's playing a deranged serial killer. You don't shit on Anthony Hopkins because he played a cannibal, do you?
My man.
American Gangster was 2007 and one of his best albums.
The Blueprint 3 and 4:44 are both good albums.
Kingdom Come and Magna Carta are bad.
Again, there are different levels to this stuff.
No, it's a bad album because it's bad. Not because it's "horrorcore."
Anthony Hopkins plays a cannibal and plays it very well in Red Dragon. Doesn't mean it's not a mediocre movie.

Eminem cannot choose good production.
It's physically impossible.
Listened to them both two days ago and it's such a downgrade, there's also a massive issue when I can listen to the first half of Kingdom Come by Jay and then compare it to the first half of The Eminem Show and see them as being close in quality, when that album is supposedly supposed to be his greatest.
American Gangster is top tier, constant incredible features and loosie tracks, Blueprint 3 which had quality rapping/writing (check out the last verse of Empire State and check out Venus vs Mars and actually non-grating pop hits/bangers unlike Eminem's attempts at them.
Not to mention Watch The Throne which has some of the best verses Jay's written and shoes serious lyrical growth.

Hot truth.
Okay, now give Eminem 4:44 talent.
Doesn't compare to MMLP.

Who was always better than Eminem and actually made quality post 2004.

Production was pretty great on Recovery actually.

Eminem is one of the few rappers from my childhood/teenage years I haven't had the opportunity to see live. Hoping this album gets him to do a tour

Call me crazy, but maybe people online don't like (I don't know about HATE) Eminem because they don't like his music anymore. I know, crazy right?

Eh it aint XO Tour Life. And Stoney is just okay so Ill be surprised if his album is good, but it will probably be better than M&M.
Ok? Not sure what that has to do with what I said. I personally think it's a fine album, but nothing I said had anything to do with the quality of it.
The production on Relapse is great, unfortunately he's been leaning more towards Recovery and MMLP 2 production which, while not bad, don't fit him.
I keep forgetting that song came this year. It was a boring album with an otherwise great song. I can definitely see Posts new attempt getting more spins, especially with those snippets of the Kanye /biebz track floating around on YouTube.
What would you know lmao

Well as always the internet masterminds know more than the ones who are actually masters of the craft. Kendrick is the modern GOAT and I'm pretty sure he said Eminem is the GOAT so yea...
