Fuck I can't wait for this. Going to get tickets the moment they're available.

London's my home away from home.

[Meminem]

Damn I hope I manage to get tickets. Not that I can afford it but..

I think the last time I saw him live was in some fucking field in Milton Keynes in about '02

I love hearing Em like this

[Squiggles123]

Man....OP had me thinking this was a three part interview

Haha, was a good short interview though. First update we've had in a while.

[CanadaPure]

Smooth, haha

Em has hands fetish.

Interesting that he said there are some songs that would not work well live, you guys think he was talking about Relapse?

I don't think he was. I think it was just a general statement that certain songs don't sound good live. It could be he doesn't like the energy of it live, or he doesn't like how he sounds on it out of the studio, anything really.

I'm coming!

Austria-London 10.July-12.July

Hopefully he and co. learned that you can't just take that shitty formula and dupe it for your artists; well - new ones anyway. They aren't established yet, the general public have no confidence or interest in them... you need to create that with compelling material like he did with his shit.

Why would people buy generic shit from artists they don't know when they're just buying generic shit from artists they do. With the same templates and formulas.

It's incredibly lame that Em let that happen on his watch for the SH album. I actually think Radioactive wasn't as much him... as Yela said it was Ghet-O-Vision / label execs, and he took the album to Em... but he did say Em helped him make it more ''worldwide'' so he clearly influenced some shitty hooks / generic elements.

But the SH album he fully influenced and exec. produced, so no excuses there, he flat out dogged em. I know he was tryna probably just help them be big but more-so just tryna re-establish the label. How would he like it if Dre tried to just grab a bunch of generic template songs and directions for him when he signed him instead of letting him be creatively free with his shit. There would be no impact.

Don't be a douche Em. You of all artists should know.

Also - doesn't the fact "Rap God" was a top 10 Billboard DEBUT mean anything or hint something to Em and co.? AKA that you don't need to fucking compromise to have a hit. A top 10 debut is rare and that song is as lyrical, weird and uncompromised as it gets. It's basically a full-fledged album track, yet it was a hit.

Which is what makes it wack as fuck with shit like ''The Monster'', because it wasn't even needed. The shit works without the compromise for him and always has. So it's just needless watering down of the art for the sake of greed. A hit isn't enough. They want worldwide pop mania. And yet all he apparently cares about is the art. He's compromised more in the last few years than every other year of his career prior combined.

Anyway, hopeful and interested to see/hear an uncompromised SH project. But not holding my breath. I honestly think they won't be able to resist and aren't bold enough to put risky shit as singles.

Did anyone notice how young he sounded in the beginning.
He's still shady inside.

Yeah! That was my first thought. He's so comfortable talking on the phone

[Guess_Who]

I'm thinking about going. Maybe it's my better chance....

Are the hotels in the UK expensive?
