If he only made those kinda of songs from now on i would officially cut ties from this forum and from listening to him. I'm pretty sure he's done with them, they would sound very stale if he made any more after Recovery.
Yeah he needs to step the creativity up now.
I half-agree with Alaine in that, well... his wit is just not the same. To be honest, it's a lot down to his obsession with this new style, it's just botching much of the lyricism as... He even had a lot of his 'snap' in 2009. It wasn't CLASSIC wit but it still had that magical spark to it like...
Picasso with a pic-axe / a sick-asshole
And just the... I dunno what to call it. Just like, very assured, lyrical ring-master, he just seemed more sure of himself. Where as now it's like he's trying to fit in, which he's pretty much said himself in that SkyRock interview (tryna adapt) and in the process, fucking up what he has got.
He should live by his own words and...
QUIT WORRYING ABOUT WHAT THEY DO AND DO SHADY...
He's also just not as worldly, plugged in or socially-aware as he was. So the material is just 99.9% about him fucking things, fucking the world, fucking women etc. it's getting seriously repetitive. And we're only noticing because he's doing it in such unimaginative (for him) ways.
Needs to step the ideas up now. It annoys me that he hasn't even TRIED to top say "Stan", in scope / ambition. I mean even if he tried and failed it'd be better than not trying. He's so obsessed with improving his technique, which I'm all for but at the same time, the content is suffering because of it. It's like he doesn't have that same ambition, to blow your head open.
Soooo many ideas he could do, simple-ideas that he could put his many lyrical strengths to use for and take to the extreme. Take for example "25 to Life", he takes a simple idea 'married to the game' and just BREATHES it, THAT is the creativity he needs to embody and aspire to always.
I'm really glad this period of his life (pills etc.) is over with, in his music, and the media have done it to death - As he won't be able to seriously revisit it without looking desperate / self-parody now. So it's going to force him to be original. But I also agree with you, the emotional content will be stale, we need concepts and big ideas. Not whimpering and bitching.
