what the heck happened to eminem?

[infinite2hts]

Em's output has dropped so drastically. like really,
2009-2011 were such a happening years. remember those relapse and recovery hype periods? Remember those exciting moments as a fan when the warning, forever, drop the world and despicable dropped and seeing Em killing it like a boss. 2011 we had the bme ep. There was always some music dropped constantly by Em and we could look forward to new music. Now it seems like he's a retired rapper dropping 1 or 2 guest verses every 8 months. Its been literally a drought of em's music since 2 years.
tbh im just tired of waiting for some news.

false

Yeah...right.

Every Rapper expect Eminem drops lot of stuff every now and then. This is the one thing that pisses me off. He definitely has 100's of songs that he might have recorded and prolly didn't make the cut. He can put them out regardless the quality.

Although it is true that Eminem hasn't put anything out lately (This is the calm before the imminent album dropping of course), you guys find anything to complain about

Seriously, I came in this thread expecting another generic thread comparing himself now to the Eminem from early 2000s and wouldn't you know it's even worse, you are putting him down in comparison to the Em from a year or two ago.

Give the man a break

Exactly my thoughts You guys are so funny

Some people on other sites are blaming this silence and the poorer verses on him possibly relapsing again.

[Just Silver]

But he had better verses while under the influence

You just don't seem to understand. When people say "when he was on drugs" it's mostly referring to the pills, and the Encore/Re-Up era, which was his worst era ever.

And he still wears the sobriety necklace so I doubt he relapsed.

And this being his last Album..

There needs to be a wait though, I'm glad there is...

A wait creates excitement and also distance from his most recent material. If he released shit one after the next then the separation wouldn't be as blatant, it would feel continuous and he'd probably sound more similar album to album due to having less time to develop a new style.

He dropped an album in 09 and 010, then a joint EP in 2011... that's three albums on the trot three years in a row, that's a lot of material... I'm glad there was nothing in 2012. He had to wait until 2013 to drop his new solo, you need that year to break it up, create something fresh and create excitement.

Putting shit out constantly is the act of a desperate artist or one that doesn't care very much about the standard of their work (COUGHWAYNE), like they'd rather just put anything they make out without thinking too much about it to keep their name out there than take the time to develop and create something truly special.

Artists like Em realize the power of quality over quantity and he knows he doesn't need to be on every mixtape, TV chat show or releasing shit every week to stay in the public's mind... he's well, well established and even when he wasn't, he knew dropping something insane and then being a bit elusive would create excitement. Where as people like 50 think over-exposure is the way to go, hence why he can't muster up ANY excitement for his shit and why his last album sold as shit as it did. People will get sick of you, no matter how good you are. Em does it right. Timing.
