he still spits dope but he juss aint spitting that crazy shit he used to spit till like 2001
i mean he in top and all but i dunno i was juss bumpin some of his shit
on love me he crowned him self the king and number one and complained that there is no one competing with him
and on that westwood freestyle over got it twisted beat he was complaining that the game is shit and there is no one motivating him to spit any more
is that the reason em did NOT bring HEAT on encore???

my bad
-
i kinda didnt understand what u were saying there. but did u say that em called game shit? are they beefin. and yeah i agree that lil singin thing that em has going on is not the business. he has that lil comedian voice going. hes funny and all but that grimy shit is the stuff i lile. like did on the way i am and on 50's patiently waiting
-
em's still dope jus needs to get rid of this slim shady shit
-
yea em fell off. Encore wuz garbage.
-
id say the first 6 tracks on encore were pretty damn good, but the rest of it ranged from bizarre to flaming crap on wax. i still wish hed pull out more of them "renegade" flows...straight fire

He ran out of things to rap about, typical rap phenomenon.
He aired out all his family business, his childhood, his private life with his wife/daughter/mother, and pretty much anything else.
Now he's sitting in one of his 10 million dollar houses, drinking Champagne and eating caviar, it's natural that the inspiration isn't there..

yeah but theres other ways to do it...he obviously cares if he does well that's why there is so many pop songs that kids would like on the album, he should still care that hip hop heads still respect his lyrics, there is no best to me and if there is its not Eminem, i was a fan but after all the gimmicks and stupid shyt he did, he got stale, his albums PRODUCTION wise have gotten better with the years, i dont know, alot of artist who have been in the game waaaaaay longer than him still drop dope shyt,
i mean i was questioning Eminem's direction when he started feeling all Gangster on those diss songs of his, talking about beating up people having them set up and killed, shit was studio gangster bullshit, CB-4 shyt........his time is coming up if he doesnt deliver another heater, when MTV the machine that birthed him even said his album was wack, you know the clock is ticking...MTV is the reason he blew so big....and the reason he fell off...

lol@out of competition............groupies
em got some sick talent but he gone end up being known as nuttin more than a gimmick unless he can rap outside his house........he spoke the same shit on all 4 albums......
1st two were sick......eminem show was weak to me but i thought fair enough to the cat, he just making a album on what wack rock shit infleunced him as a kid, i mean i didnt like the album, but i wont hate on him for making it thinkin that now he done with the personal album, the debut, the mmlp......were he was at his peak of tellin his lil house stories while still makin a sick joint and flowing with rhythm to a beat........n then i thought encore would be like his album were he would branch out, showin theirs more to him musically than just the same shit he been speaking on his last 3 albums........
i guess encore kinda best describes the album, but its wack as fuck.....unless em spits some fresh shit on his next album intstead of his played out shit, he aint shit
i mean theres def some cats on his level in the game easily, some better in some areas, and his better in some areas but he gotta kinda rejoin the hiphop community on his next album......
eminem show wasnt felt by any niggaz i know, but i didnt hate cuz we wernt raised up on that rock shit n that album was personaly but he went even worse on encore.....dre gave him a few nice beats to n he fucked em up........n that joint he did with dre n 50......"encore" was nuttin but weak...........the beat sounded like a joint eminem/kon artist production until the end
by the way jome pretty much summed up some of it to........he ran out fo things to say.......n his only released 4 albums

Pretty much....he summed it up well...

if you read one of mellowman's posts, he says Em did Encore to prove a point to Interscope, he's sick of doin the my name is/the real slim shady/etc type tracks, thats what they wanted so he gave them an album full of them, his next album will be dope
-
But this album still sold so em will have to do them next time as well
-
encore is the first em cd i haven't bought...honestly it's about a 2/5 on my scale. there wasn't one song on that cd that gave me the feeling i got when i first heard stan or rock bottom or any song he writes that has meaning to it. yellow brick road was ok and never enough was dope but i mean out of 20 tracks i was only feeling 4 or 5 and that ain't good, peace.
-
encore may not have been his best...but that dont meen dude fell off....he may come back harder on his next album...one wack album dont meen that its over for him...plenty of rappers make a wack album and comeback with a harder one....i actually thought encore wasn't as bad as ppl say it is

I'm a fan of Eminem and all...but compared to his previous efforts I'm almost certain ''Encore'' hasn't sold as well. Em's latest has been out since November and has sold approximately 4.5 mill. 50's been out for a little over a month and is VERY near 3 Million (I think he's in the upper regions of 2.9). Fair enough, you may think, 4-5 Million is still a hell of a lot but not when compared to ''MMLP'' and ''The Eminem Show'' which all reached diamond status (10 Mill) in the USA if I'm not mistaken. Plus, ''Encore'' is pretty much done sales-wise IMO - especially when you consider he's already released videos for ''Just Lose It'', ''Mosh'', ''Like Toy Soldiers'' and ''Mockingbird'' and I've heard that ''Ass Like That'' is on the way after that. If he releases ANOTHER single after ''ALT'' people are going to think he's either a) desperate for sales or b) milking this record for all he's got. Either way, its not going to look too good for him. ''Encore'' is (IMO) a done deal and I think will finish at around 5 Mill. At the end of the day, I doubt Jimmy Iovine gives a damn about whether an Em record is critically praised or panned, all he will be interested in is the sales. And, considering Em's previously overwhelming success, I wouldn't be surprised if he was more than a little disappointed with ''Encore's'' final numbers. I was expecting both more from the album and more of an impact on the charts.
What's even crazier is when you consider that 50's record is really only getting started. Like I mentioned earlier, he's only been on shelves for about a month and the project still has plenty of steam. The video for ''Just A Lil Bit'' hasn't premiered yet (not over here in the UK anyway) and he can probably push another 2 singles after that. Its definately a possibility that he will overtake Em in terms of sales. And, no, I'm not even trying to dickride 50 (Career-wise I still prefer Em's output) I am simply stating the facts. I don't think anyone on the board could deny that possibility.
Ah well, hopefully the lukewarm reaction to ''Encore'' will force Em to come harder next time - maybe Iovine will even loosen the reigns and give him a bit more creative control over the singles that he releases. We can but hope...

Em Was A Crazy Son Of A.... But Now I Think He's Like Scared Do Some Ridah Shit ???
-
Eminem is still nice. One album doesn't mean he completely fell off. You could always come back like how Nas did. I didn't buy Encore but I'll support Eminem if he drops quality music.
-
man, as big as eminem fan as i am, i cant see him bouncing back, since wack ass encore its all been downhill, i hated the song on the game cd, and that fuckin gatman crap, hes trying this whole production thing, and failing miserbly, and like home said, he aint got shit to rap about. i can see him doing a couple dope songs on detox, but if he aint comin out with a sick album, he shouldnt even try for it.
