Lost His Touch?

[ctodap]

Well eminem hasn't released an actual album in who noes how many years? An we haven't heard his"new" album.. But im wondering... who feels like eminem has lost his magical touch?

he never had a "magic touch" he had hunger with skill, those together can accomplish a lot.

Hes Still Got Skill, An Incredible Ammount, But Im Afriad The Hunger As Gone.

He Produced Some Of His Most Memorial Stuff When He Was In A Less Fortunate Position, Having The Hunger To Better His Life And "Make It".

Now Hes Achieved That, His Standards Have Slowley Declined. All We Can Hope Now Is His Next Album, He Does It For "Himself"" And "Hip Hop" Not For The Money.

Money Does Change You (No Other Way About It) And Like 50 Said, Which Is One Of Very Few Things I Agree On, If Money Hasnt Changed You, Then You Aint Made Enough.

To Sum Up, In My Opinion, There Was No "Magical Touch" Like Tash Says, Just Pure Hunger, But He Has Plenty On Skill/Talent To Produce An Album That Will Go Down In History As A Great Album. He Just Needs To Do It For Himself.....Not For The Money.

It's only been 3 years since Encore? Granted, that's not an exactly short amount of time, but its not "who knows how many years" either.
As for his "magic touch"..if such a thing exists, you can't lose it. Eminem will always have the ability in him to make amazing music.

no it's talent you can not lose, you can get rusty, you can change your style. same with skill, he's been away from the rap game for so long, he's gonna be rusty unless he's been creating tracks that we don't know about. Hip-Hop/Rap is like a sport, when they take the "field"/mic, the whole focus should be on jsut that in the game, the mind can not be distracted... now with that said, the reason you have preseason is basically to take that rust away from you... so eminem needs a "preseason" to get back to his original self..

btw people say he can't do what he did back in 2000, that's wrong you can always repeat yourself, but the thing is he needs to find new ideas new topics, new styles, something NEW, like the fuckin china revolution.

That's what I was implying with "magic touch."
Em is changing, not losing anything. Whether or not fans feel he's "losing his touch" is an opinion, but look at it this way: He's every bit as talented in this latest genre of rap than he is in the old genre.
If Em never changed his style, people would be complaining about that, too. He HAS to change, at least a little, or he'd die out anyway. How many were bitching before that he kept talking about the same old shit? Now he changes and you're all still bitching...he can't win.

Eminem got fucked up when he got done with the up in smoke tour IMO he still has skill he just doesn't want to sow it hed rather sing about his problems. But yeah Ems still got it.

I wouldn't think so. I mean, if those that didn't like ''Touchdown'' aren't probably going to like the other two tracks he recorded with T.I.. His style on "Touchdown" will probably be the same on the others.

He hasn't released an album for 'who knows how many years'? C'mon, artists don't hafta release albums every single year... Encore wasn't really a long ago.
And what 'magical touch'? He has skills, they don't just fade away. He has proved himself, he doesn't have to do it anymore. If he has more to talk about, he makes better songs and if he has less to talk about, he doesn't make so good songs. But that doesn't mean he wouldn't be so talented or that he sucks. If he really has that 'hunger' to make something real good, he does. It's just that on 'Encore' he was rather bored and all, but even that album didn't really suck, did it? We just expect so much of Em, but it was an average album with some good tracks (remember 'Like Toy Soldiers'?).
And like meinem said, he has been through a lot in the past few years. I'm sure he has a lot to say after that. With that and his skills I'm sure I can expect the next album to be good or at least better than Encore since the only problem with that album was that he didn't have much to say and that 'hunger' or need to prove himself to others was gone. But I believe that now he has them both again. Like he said in 'Touchdown', he wants to kick the new rappers' asses. He kinda wants to prove himself again, that he still has something in him, so I'm sure the next album will be good.
