Move this if you will, but here is what I think is going on.
So forever ago, Royce tweeted something along the lines of:
"Em's gonna shock the world with his new shit" or whatever, not gonna look it up, but you catch my drift. A lot of you were speculating if it'd be good, or bad. Fair enough. Survival comes out, COD: MW 2932893283 Ghosts trailer, and the decently horrible Survival song, with it. Most of it pass it by, some of us call it godly in the moment.
Then.. The VMA's. MMLP2 announced. Bezerk snippets. Stans going crazy. "Ah hell naw that white boy can't be tarnishing that classic like that it's satanic."
Yeah, well, I think Em is actually listening to us for once. Crazy? No. Tyler recently tweeted something like:
"Relapse is the final piece of good work?! SO BUMMED!!!" Translated into Non-fucktard, since he speaks straight-fucktard.
But wait, a lot of you are like "He probably just had Tyler listen to Bezerk when they were hanging or whatever, or he heard it afterwards and isn't afraid to voice his opinion." Yeah, sure, but I don't think he'd judge Em off one track. Or at least not the full album. Fuck, I think a lot of us can agree Drips sucks, but would you judge "The Eminem Show" off of it? No. How about "Without me?" No, completely different album really.
So my theory is, is that Eminem is realizing he's surrounded by non-sensical yes-men who tell him everything he does is good, when in reality, all it generates is sales. Then, Eminem sees the criticism. "This isn't as good as your old shit, man." So he's trying to make it as good as his old shit. Showing it to people who won't tell him "Yeah, that's cool, whatever." Showing it to people like Tyler. I think Tyler has heard the full album, hence his tweet, and Em's asked for criticism. "But, Em won't listen to Tyler cause he's better!!!11!!!11oneeneon1!!" Fuck you, Em sees that Tyler is hungry and wants to recapture that himself.
Just a theory, but whatever, I guess.
