Eminem's flow is so boring now

[EminemInsider]

It's not just the yelling in the delivery...it's the fact that he has fallen into the cliche "drum mirroring" technique that is prevalent in rap and makes lyrics blend into the instrumental to where the impact of what they're saying doesn't come through.

Of course, those who don't understand the difference between "riding the beat/keeping tempo/rhythm" and "mirroring the drums" probably think he "flows" better now...but I digress.

Eminem's lyrics used to "pop" much more because he didn't tie himself down to the "one syllable on each drum" method. He also knew how to maximize the impact through changing speed and using pauses in the RIGHT places. Now, the only time he uses pauses is when he is splitting sentences between bars...which is eating some of us alive.

You are mad.

You are mad.

Bitching about the yelling must've gotten old already, time to invent another complain huh??

[Satire]

Mad or not, listen to "If I Get Locked Up Tonight" and then listen to "Won't Back Down".

He has a point.

If you know anything about flow then why don't you become a rapper? Your almost a year old dude.. most of us are already use to it.. If you don't like how a rapper raps now then you should stop listening....

His flow on Echo, Hello Good Morning, Living Proof, LTWYL part II were raw as fuck. I guess everyone has his own opinions .. All she wrote was dope too. And where i'm at.. "that's why they call this bullshit a relationship, cuz ship sinks .." part was just eargasmic.

"BORING" is such a subjective term, and is not a valid form of criticism.

Your perception of boring is not the same as everyone else.

People just Over-analyze and Nitpick the fuck outta this guy on this site, I dont personally break music down to science like that, If I like it I like it, If I dont I dont, I dont sit around saying shit like

"Well, the cadence on the 4th line of the 2nd verse of Wont Back down isnt as vocally pleasing as the 5th Line of the 3rd verse of Criminal"

If I dont like summin I usually just turn it off, I dont sit around and break down the reasons

Em's flow is the same now as it was before IMO!

what is making us criticize this Em is the thing in him i call "youth" back then he was angry he had something to prove.

now rap is his playground.

his flow on the BME leaked tracks and hello good morning are amazing.

and that double time at all she wrote was dope as fuck.

OP have you ever noticed on each album he switches style every album and slowly in-between albums to,get a grip ffs. Most off the new material was done around recovery or just after it.If you had two albums off the same material i can see your point but i can bet my house on that 011 material and next album will be different like always it has been.Bet you bitched about him to stop with the accents as well.

[AnalKiddo]

No it's not..

There's obviously songs he'll make now that are garbage just like the old days but he's still got the same shit he did 20 years ago, you don't like that then go listen to Gucci Mane

[VenomBlackViper]

This again...
