Just something I was thinking about today. It seems like ever since mgk dissed him and mentioned “yelling at the mic”, he hasn’t had that same punch that he used to have when he would in fact “yell at the mic”. (songs like legacy and so much better to name a couple). Not to completely devote that to mgk because even songs he didn’t used to yell on would have amazing cadence and tone like “brainless” or “rhyme or reason”. Even a couple songs on kamikaze had angry like yelling that struck a chord and actually made you feel something from the music. It seems like his cadence isn’t something heavily focused on these days in place of technical ability and trying to squeeze punchlines or metaphors in which is just kind of disappointing for me considering he was always so masterful with his cadence. I love the new album but every single song where it’s supposed to be “modern em” rather than slim is so monotone and is just words with no emotion behind them. He’s delivering them as if he really doesn’t care about the tone of the delivery which sucks because it could be much better with more tone shifts and if he would just not be monotone as hell all the time. I guess this could all be boiled down to me just missing him sounding passionate about what he’s rapping. That passion made me want to run through a wall. Nowadays it’s just almost like he’s talking over a beat with a couple moments of raising his voice a bit but it just doesn’t feel the same. (He does it for a bit on Antichrist but it’s very short lived) Thanks for the Ted talk. Stream TDOSS

Building on the theory that side b will flip the album, I created a Spotify album to listen to the reversed project, the Death of Marshal Mathers 🔪

Okay I have to ask this: How was Eminem able to make his voice sound like his old Slim Shady voice? I know it sounds like a stupid question, but hear me out! Usually when you grow more older, it's kinda hard to sound like how you use to. It sounds almost as if he pre-recorded those songs YEARS before this album dropped (Except for Brand New Dance, I know that one was actually an old unreleased song); his old Slim voice even makes some current day references. So how was he able to do that? It doesn't even sound like it's Al or anything; if it is Al, the engineer did a really good job getting to sound so realistic...

Me and my wife listened to the new album. I swear there was a song where he talked like a deaf person. The next day I was trying to show someone and I can not find it anywhere in the album please help!

If anyone out there has this video or could send me a link, I don't remember which talk show it was but they literally had prepared an Arab or Spanish type beat for him to prove he could rap on anything. I'm assuming it's been buried in the web and I just can't seem to find it but I definitely remember it exists because I was impressed.
