What should EM do next? (after SHADY XV)

[youalwaysride]

Would you prefer a new em solo album or finally a world tour *_*?

[JAGODA]

It'd be a perfect time for a D-12 album.

[csw621]

2cd solo album pls

[Supershade]

New Em solo

[Josh]

a mixtape with 50+ Songs

Create a ballistic classic with not a single compromised moment or song and a completely bigoted, single-minded artistic aim which is carried 100% throughout.

Other rappers can get away with even 3-4 shit songs and still make a classic because their songs aren't as extremely defined from each other, so if there's a few duds... they can slip through the cracks and blend in, they don't really ruin the whole vibe. But there is NOBODY as extreme as Eminem; his songs are SO definitive and weird even from each other (Bad Guy vs. So Far... the fuck?) that if he makes something of a different tone it just sticks the FUCK out like no other.

Like seriously, who the fuck else could make something like 'Rap God', before anybody says Tech or some shit - yeah he could imitate a structure and have impressive bursts and brilliant technical moments but not even close to the level of natural humour, range of vocal tones and performance and overall feel of drama.

Thing is though, he's kind of shot himself in the foot by making MMLP2 because everything kind of has to either be b) less extreme than MMLP2 OR a completely different direction. Because if his next album is MORE extreme again... MMLP2 will look stupid. Because people will just feel ''this should have been MMLP2'' and suddenly MMLP2 won't live up to its extremeness and the title won't make as much sense.

So he's either done that intentionally to force himself to do something completely different next... which is not inconcieveable and would make me happy. OR (much more likely) - he just doesn't really care now about overall album themes and treats titles more like a quick summation of a good batch of songs and really is just trying to make good songs and nothing more; and he'll just make his next album in a similar way and call it something else based on the kind of hooks and humour he incorperates.

Either way, I literally think he's in his rapping prime right now. So weird to hear myself say that too, like yes his ''PRIME prime'' years aka SSLP-TES were fucking magical and the lyrics will forever be nostalgic, profoundly memorable and unbreakable as they are the moments which cemented his impact BUT in terms of exciting rap and what he can do with words and flows... I don't think he's ever been better than he is right now @ Rap God, RoR, Baby, Groundhog Day... his level is just crazy-another-fucking-planet and entertaining & inventive as fuck.

Pretty much how I feel. I think he just really needs a consistent vibe, he needs the element of a more unified production. Embase killin it again.

make a thematic album or retire
I don't want another album where he's just spazzing or recycling concepts because he " just likes to rap " .

I'll be down as long as he doesn't follow the Relapse route

[Devil'sAdvocate]

lock himself up in the studio again for a long time, like 2 years is good.
