The Evolution of Eminem (1996-2010) - Infinite

[EminemBase]

So, I finally have my blog up. And, I'm kicking it off with a series of posts on the evolution of Eminem; as an artist, rapper, and public figure.

So, sticking to official studio output and defining each 'era' by ablums, I've started with Infinite. Here's an extract of the post...

So, by its very definition this year and album are significant purely due to the fact they’re the 1st official studio footprint in the world of music, from Eminem. Yes, he had been recording at a studio level prior to this and there’s even output to that effect, but if we’re talking ‘official’ output, things with his name and stamp on, this is the first noteworthy mark.

Infinite, was released in November 1996. As Eminem himself has said, it was mainly an attempt to get radio spins. Back in the mid-90s, and especially in downtown Detroit – the way to get known, at least locally, was to get on radio...

I was originally going to analyze each period / album in one giant post, but... given I wrote like 900 words + on Infinite alone, can you imagine the total size if I included all of them in one post lmao.

So I've decided to make a post per era and post them periodically, with other posts in-between. So that it adds up to a hefty series of analysis rather than a single outing.

These posts are really more just to explore and analyze the sounds and styles of each era, his aims and artistry rather than give a complete opinion on the material itself. So, although there may be some of that, these aren't reviews. They're attempts at complete explorations into the period.

Next up, will be The Slim Shady EP.

I'm partially posting this to explain my lapse in getting around to the weekly round-up in the main Eminem section also. As, I've been busy trying to get my blog sorted and ready to go. But, now that I have the first post up, I'll get the weekly round-up done tonight.

Haha, thanks.

I honestly don't read half my own shit. People seem to have this impression I love the sound of my own voice due to how much I write etc.

But it's more like I'm possessed and can't stop writing. I actually find it torturous and draining. But when I see a certain response or question or remark, I just explode with words and thought, I don't particularly enjoy it at all. I almost cry inside if people goad me lmao, because it means another 50 million word reply automatically, without wanting to.

But I figured a blog would be a good way to tie the site together. And a good way to report on news in a personable, real way. Rather than just pasting tabloid nonsense.
