Back then his delivery was on-point in every instance, so yeah he could have used the angry delivery on just about any emotional song but I'm just saying there are topics that a calm, indifferent voice can't cover without sounding monotonous plus a weary voice on every emotional track becomes tedious almost as quick as shouting does, " my nikka".
Yes, but at least a calm, indifferent voice sounds sonically okay, whether it gets tiring or not. It might take somethign away from the emotion but not as much as his shouting does.
However, I would rather have a monotonous vocal track being carried by the lyrics/flow than the hoarse whining that we've been hearing. And I'm glad you had your lols, Amadeo.

I just miss the days where he sounded energetic and hungry while hardly raising his voice past an extent (Square Dance, When The Music Stops). I know he still has something similar to it in him with recent songs like The Warning & Forever out but with all of the attention that he's obviously paying attention to fans (As shown in the back and fourth opinion on Relapse) I just don't see how he hasn't realized how good the reception on the phonetic aspects of those songs were. Those songs came out, and then Despicable was released and his style was completely different again. The transition between Relapse & Recovery was an Em-phase of it's own, like what happened?
Hunger has been missing (as a whole) since his comeback. It's quite evident that the songs where he had to get something of his chest (Deja Vu, Going Through Changes, YNO, INAD and, to some extent, The Warning) are some of his best, both overall and, most notably, delivery aspect. That's why I think, in something like 25 To Life, he was forcing the concept to some extent.
The main problem is, in songs, where he's not saying anything of much important, he doesn't have that 'sound' as you say. Take Watch Deez, for example. Random song about nothing yet he sounds so hungry and fresh, with every word having a place. He doesn't really know what to do in random spitting tracks as much as he did (lack of creativity). Some tracks on BME EP show that he may be bringing that back.
