Eminem's Problems (and Encore's Problems)

<< < (2/8) > >>

Ras Kass' Toothpick:
I mean listen to a Nas CD because he mixes up his content, gives you variety and does it very well.

Just look at God's Son..."Dance", "Book Of Rhymes", "Last Real Nigga Alive", "I Can", "Get Down", etc.
Versatility

Listen to the SSLP and then listen to the EMShow.

yeah from SSLP to The Eminem Show he did. but back in the SSLP Em was flow hella rapid, he sounded hungry. after that, he was just sayin shiet to make people mad. Eminem Show he grew but now...4th album...still talkin about his mom, girl, daughter, how tough his life was. like homie said he need to take notes from Nas

i agree. just look at 3:16 the 9th edition: 10 tracks and every single one is dope. fuck fillers. most of them are just an opportunity for the label to introduce some wack ass rappers... >:(

while there might be a few skits which are able to support the following track in a positive way by setting the atmosphere, the majority seems to be total crap.

T-Dogg:
Yeah, some new topics could definitely help him.  But it ain't that easy to just come up with some cool concept for a song that suits him too.

Encore is kinda weird in my opinion... Tracks like Never Enough, Mosh (that grew on me like a muthafucka), Yellow Brick Road, Like Toy Soldiers, Encore and Mockingbird are on that high Eminem standard (although, as it was said, some tracks suffer from the same ol' topics he used to do). Then the middle of the album is complete shit - not just on Eminem's standards, but in general - Big Weenie, Just Lose It, My 1st Single, Rain Man, complete shit. (Apart from Rain Man's beat, Dre did a good job there). Then there's some mediocre stuff, that's nowhere near Em's best material though. It's kinda funny, a couple tracks like Never Enough and Encore I absolutely love, some stuff is filler and the rest is absolute garbage.

Maybe if he took a couple years off from rapping, just manage the label and hone his production skills, then come back - then we might hear something special. It might be, as it was put at MTV.com, that Em has entered a "comfort zone".
