What is the closest new Em has come to sounding like old Em?

I'm not a big fan of this, I usually make fun of the stans comparing how much Em sounds like old Em, because he very rarely does. But some songs have that old EM feel.

but if I'm embarrassin me I'm embarrassin you
And don't you dare say it isn't true
As long as that song's gettin airplay I'm dissin you
I'm a hair away from gettin carried away and gettin sued

I think everything about that sounds like Old Em. Beat, flow, talking about getting sued.

Could have came out in 2002.

I was thinking C'mon Let Me Ride, but then I remembered how different his humor is nowadays. He sounds like an absolute cornball on most tracks nowadays whereas thirteen years ago everything he said was funny in a sick way. No corn involved.

His humour isn't always that different. It's just when he tries to use blatant puns as funny lines that he sounds corny. But if you look at a line like "NOW SING ALONG - SLUT THIS, SLUT THAT, LEARN THE WORDS TO THE SONG" and "I'll be damned if I feed a chick - it ain't like me to split a piece of dry pita!!", those lins are really funny and self-deprecating. Vintage humour.

^Like corndogs? I don't like them either. :tounge2:

This thread is clearly inspired by mine lol

I agree about The Warning though, obviously.

The Warning is obvious one. The Reunion and CLMR are close as well.

The most recent song has to be on Relapse, and that's Underground. That was vintage Shady. If it had a beat like one of his old ones, it'll sound like it's straight from 2000

Sounds like a date, Geno.

when he says "a mixture of stifler and urkel" in Here Comes the Weekend , he sounds EXACTLY like MMLP Eminem

I can't believe no one has mentioned "Untitled" and "Ridaz"... they sound so freakishly like TES-era Eminem in terms of rhyming and flow/voice.

Ridaz is my most played song from Recovery on iTunes. :flutter:

by **Kill You** » Feb 5th, '13, 07:54

Wow, how did I forget Ridaz...I have a thread in Reviews for it. Ridaz DEFINITELY sounds like it could have came straight from TES but I can tell he made it in between Relapse and Recovery because he still has some of that Relapse imagery and lyricism.

Insane (MMLP era) and Ridaz (TES era) for me.

by **Mathers** » Feb 7th, '13, 00:38

Ridaz, Insane, Underground, The Warning and Reunion.

I think that third verse of Deja Vu is the best example of the effortless brilliance he used to have.

Ain't no harm in self-inducin a snooze/What else is new?/Fuck it, what would Elvis do in your shoes?
