Em's Safer Image

[ScottMurray]

I dunno if its just coincidence but iv noticed that in alot of his recent live performance's, when it gets to a certain 'touchy' or 'inappropriate' lyric in some of his older songs Em moves the mic away from his mouth and lets either the members of D12, if its a D12 song, or Mr Porter finish the sentence.

I know he does it alot to let him catch his breath but i think that hes becoming a much softer artist.
He doesnt even do his Fight Music verse anymore, which is a fuckin great verse, but i think either hes changing as a person and becoming softer or hes being forced to slowly become softer by Paul, and the label etc.. because of the Wider scale that Recovery and his poppy collabs have put him on.

Just my thoughts, discuss if you disagree, or let me know if you agree

I don't think that he's doing it because of anyone else.

If he is shying away from things like that, I would say it's because he himself is becoming softer.

However, a lot of his newer stuff is offensive too, so I don't know what the difference would be.

He still does 'Kill You' at every show, you know?

Nah man, not offensive enough for EMINEM. His last thing to 'offend' someone and get noticed was ... wait for it... ready... 'shes still a, male lady'

damnit slim shady, come back from the dead

em really killed him

[EG.]

I sincerely hope you're wrong.

I think it's funny how you say it's becoming softer. The need to prove that you're tough and everything is the weakest way a person can act.

I'm going to take a shot in the dark and say the fact his daughter(s) are old enough to understand what he's talking about and their age group is buying the shit out of his music, is and will effect it from here on out.

Have u heard Bad meets Evil welcome 2 hell. He's pretty much the same now, toned down if anything because of his daughters. However, he does say he's in the game til death do they part, & he "dies hard". Anyway. Just saying.

[TorieCheng72]

He pretty much says he's in the game til death do they part. Not sure if that's my quote or EMs, thinkin it's mine. Anyway. Like said just sayin

[Mr Change]

He isn't softening up.

He has daughters, and may watch what he says in SOME cases, yes. That has nothing to do with his old song lives. He performs Kill You at EVERY show, for god sakes.

Seriously tbh this is just another stupid complaint thread. No significance at all...

[babyjane]

I guess nothing makes you realize you aren't hard or invincible like almost dying. You realize your own mortality and take life more seriously. I think he's been humbled....but safe? Nah.

This is a little off track, however, check out the video 2 (lighters). It's graceful and just plain beautiful, especially at the end when EM stands on that hillside, almost A's if he's just at peace with time & life. And if I get any SH*t from any punks, I swear, bring it. Anyway, I was emailed the video, and it's just that good. Check it out. Maybe a bit sweeter, soft, whatever... It's worth the watch. Royce also.

Are you familiar with "The Reunion" of his 2011 release "Hell: The Sequel"? In fact, that was THE last song (along with A Kiss) to be recorded for the EP. Above The Law and Welcome 2 Hell aren't the nicest pair of songs either.

This alone is enough to prove the "becoming softer" accusations completely wrong.
