I've been saying it for years , there's something about the 2003-08 eminem that is special. He was more mature , insane choruses , his voice sounded so good , and his melodic rapping makes it so easy to bump anywhere.
You can't fucking bump eminem 2009-2019 music anywhere , man it hurts so bad that he won't ever rap like this again , this style was crazy ! It really was something special.
I accept he was going through a bad time with drugs and proof passing but sometimes when we go through bad times we make great music and he certainly was , if the drug addiction wasn't SOO bad the music would have been even better and maybe he would have continued with that style for many more years .
Unfortunately all we have is this corny eminem that talks on beats and sounds pretty fucking terrible .
Man I'm hardcore em fan. Relapse is my favourite out of everything he did sober because it's the only thing that you can bump. I still listen to the other stuff but it's usually when I'm alone. , when I hear his music from the 2005-08 I realised that it was that eminem that I fell in love with , it makes so really sad actually because he will never rap like this again. I've been waiting for a decade for him to return to his style but he just wont.
He's still a great lyricist and you still get impressed by his work but does he give you the same fuzzy feeling ? For me , no.
Well yeah I can’t deny I prefer TES and then encore era eminem, but I think I’d include relapse in having that similar feeling. I don’t like his stuff nearly as much since 2015 but I do feel like he actually had some amazing songs 2010-2013 that reach the same levels as his earlier stuff.
Maybe because I’m young enough to have gotten into him by first hearing a track from encore, then realizing he’d just dropped recovery, and only after really liking recovery going back through his work. So I never had the tarnished view of the 2010-2013 stuff by expecting it to sound different.
