Is This The Artificial Em?

[AnalKiddo]

It's been mentioned before, when I say he's white I mean it looks bad on him rapping about bitches, drugs and assrape at an older age, you can call it racist but it's the truth

[Scrubz]

Ehh, he's said he's happiest when he's writing music. The reason he wanted to quit was because he was depressed and drugged up 24/7.

This. Im Glad he didnt release the "king mathers" CD, imo it would have deff tainted his legacy. After Encore I was thinking to myself; "Eminem is really an asshole, i bet if i met him i really wouldnt like him" and that pretty much sums up the king mathers album. I'm so glad he got sober because he really is such a better person, he can still have the i dont give a fuck attitude but he's not a douche. Lets face it, these songs from that time period makes him seem like a douche, i blame the drugs.

No, not racist. Just dumb.

Eminem has admitted that he is right now the happiest he has ever been.

I'm not sure if the OP is serious.

That's a lie!

He can't say that!

His behavior these days, I think, we can blame on him almost dying. I have a feeling he is very happy right now, happier than he was back then. He's just serious, that doesn't mean he's sad or anything. I'm sure after almost dying, he started taking life much more seriously.

He can't say that!

Yes he can, he just did faggot

[christalgurl]

No, this is just a more mature, serious Eminem. He's grown up and changed. We can't expect him to stay the same, and I definitely don't think he's rapping for anyone else. He wants to rap and be back in the game. That's all his decision.

[IrishShady]

Yes he can, he just did faggot

Now guess again

[ShadyVsEminem]

Id say artificial Eminem was Curtain call as he was just out of rehab and was probably pushed into finishing his contract obligations so he gave them Fack as a fuck you very much

After hearing this new tape that Koolo leaked, I've been adding stuff up in my head. I think it's safe to assume that It's Been Real was made around 2007-ish. I feel that he had closed his book at that point, he was finished. He wanted to walk away. But it almost seems like the people around him made him stay, I mean he talks about how much people wanted him to get sober, imagine how many people wanted him to keep making music.

It seems to add up now, the way he acts towards rap now, the way his presence is. I mean, just look at the TRShady banner right now at the top of this page. He doesn't seem completely happy. It almost seems like he's making music because we want him to.


He obviously loves hiphop. I'm not saying that he doesn't have that passion anymore. All I'm saying is that it seems like he has to force it now. As if he left in his head long ago.

Is it just me, or does anyone else see this?

I see what you are saying, but I don't think it is about him being "happy" as much as it is about him being mainstream. This is the first time Eminem has been really blatant about attempting to make a commercial record. We've always known that the pattern of jokey first singles was for the sake of getting mainstream attention, but the album tracks (especially MMLP) basically left all concerns of appealing to a wider audience behind. With Recovery, he attempted a whole album for that wider audience - I remember reading some interview with Paul where Paul said that Em realized Relapse may have been the record he wanted to make but not the record the average rap fan wanted to hear and took that into account making Recovery. That's got to be uncomfortable territory to be in. I mean, he basically gave Rhianna credit for Recovery's success in his Grammy speech.

I realize I'm not saying anything new - there are lots of threads on here with people complaining about him using the different producers, the pop-star hooks, the punch-line constructions - and I think all of that stuff is intended to make the record more commercial overall. There are a few tracks on the album that are obviously personal. And I do really like Recovery. But I agree that a lot of this seems forced, and I'm sure that there are lots of influences in that direction, including his own desire to settle down a little. Because really, and whoever can hate on me however much they want for this, but what possible explanation is there for Em's love affair with all things Young Money other than mainstream appeal?

[lotex]

Em made a track like G.O.A.T. completely aware of what he was saying/doing

He made GOAT because he was popping 100 pills a day and it made him bitter and paranoid and he didn't realize how bad he was.

At the moment he's obviously feeling as content as he's ever been. Don't really get what you mean.

jesus christ people like you. yeah dude he was just poppin' pills 24/7 and had no idea what he was doing.... cmon man...
