Some of his best tracks overall do often happen to be introspective, but they're not the tracks I ever listen to. When I think of the tracks I play over from every album, it's rarely ever the introspective ones. I don't find them very entertaining after the initial impact, they lose their punch... some more than others... where as if a song has an INCREDIBLE flow, concept and / or wordplay, I think there's more mileage and replay value. I listen to CWB more than GTC. By far.
Agree with this, 100%. Though some of Em's best songs are introspective ones I find myself listening to the non-introspective ones more often.
