Is Eminem losing his accent/voice inflection?

[FreeSpeech]

He still has it a bit, but I feel like it's going away. He used to say words much differently, kinda over-accentuate a lot of his rhymes. Anyone else notice this? It's almost like he focuses on saying his words correctly.

DISCLAIMER: I'm not critiquing him, I'm just pointing it out, so don't get your panties in a bunch. I do like his old accent/voice better, but I don't have much of a problem with this one.

The black/Detroit accent?


Yep, he is.

I think he accentuates less because of the speed....like he doesnt even fully say "momentum" in No Love...he kinda just muffles through it

He pronounces it "uh-prish-eeh-ate"

I love it lol

Do you honestly think his voice is the same? I'm not talking tone/pitch/delivery method. I'm saying, he's talking differently, losing the accent, and pronouncing/accentuating his words in a new manner.

Try making intelligent contributions for once (if you can).

Yeah, I was just thinking about this a couple days ago actually. I couldn't think of why it sounded different to me, but now that you said that, it really does seem like he is focusing on saying the words correctly.

You can for sure lose accents dude. My bro's grandad is Irish, but he's been living in America for like 50 years. I can understand 100% of what he says with no effort. His (the granddad) sister came to visit, she's lived in Ireland her whole life. i talked to her and her accent was so thick that you had to focus to make out what she was saying.

You proving you're incapable of forming an intelligent sentence?
I don't remember going through this once a week...

He picked up the accent from the people he was hanging out with. Over the years as he's gotten away from many of those people, the accent has faded.

[xxTrigger1989xx]

No, he has changed his voice for EVERY ALBUM. And I almost guarantee we'll get something totally different on his next album. He can still perform his old songs perfectly live. He switches it up on purpose
