His decline started in 2004 imo. His verses on D12 World were the last of what he had in the tank and then it was a rap, literally.

[@totttrax]

A rappers worst fear is running out of content

[@nembri0124]

This man still outrymes everyone man

[@DavidJ0001]

@@nembri0124 I’m not saying his pen game isn’t still crazy. I’m saying it’s just not enjoyable for me anymore. Just my opinion though.

[@hamezbnde6968]

True but it was always going to be tough to match up to those first three albums tho. But he still had a couple good projects after encore tho imo

[@cyber-bully5063]

This video really misses the mark on how he fell from his prior grace, him not appealing to people who don't care for rap as a genre, being angsty and "making music for haters" are not the reason he's been falling flat on listeners for so long. If anything pursuing validation from people who aren't well versed in the genre by bloating his albums with mediocre filler pop tracks and wowing them with cheap gimmicks has damaged his career more than anything and in regards to being angsty, their are rappers like Kanye and Run the Jewels who have held onto their young angst even in their older age and are still hitting all the right spots with music listeners. Making music "for his fans" instead of his haters is also a really bizzare point, there are millions of his fans who wanted him to go back to flipping out on anyone who talked sideways about him and to start dishing shit out on other rappers which is what he delivered. Most of his fans still love Kamikaze but it's the general music audience outside his fanbase that thinks it just sounds corny and lame The real reason for his fall off has more to do with how much is ability to structure songs and write well has dipped over the years. He was one of the best ever with his underground east coast imagery/charisma heavy style while also having the most legendary play on the white rapper archetype in hip-hop but he threw all of that away just to become a punchline rapper, something he's generally pretty hit-or-miss with. Not to mention for the past decade he's been rapping on tracks with some of the worst production and hooks i've ever heard with some of the most basic issues in audio mixing an artist his size has had in recent memory and he's only really started to fix this after 10+ years which is just sad that it was such a struggle for dude to reach what is literally standard for almost every other artist.

[@Yo-Ah-Kim]

Well formulated and I agree with everything you said here 💯🎯

[@The-Endo-SymArmor]

​@@Yo-Ah-Kimmy God he hit the nail right over the head

[@williamlefebvre7263]

Good video man, I agree with a lot of your points on how Em has become irrelevant in the current rap game because he only makes new music for his "haters" instead of his fans

[@Robot-yste]

Honestly,we should just be glad he is still releasing 😢it feels good to have him still dropping music but he needs retire after releasing one and last biggest freaking albumn he could ever do and just sign off cause i want his legacy to not just be a "oh yeah he was a good artist but he fell off in the last time of his carrier " so let's hope he goes out with a bang

[@_Obi-Wan_Kenobi_]

Gotta disagree man. Of course artists music style changes with time. Releasing 5 Eminem Shows in a row would be kind of lame wouldn‘t it? He mastered rap early in his career and turned a little more pop in recovery and in his new albums showed insane lyricism and technical ability being almost 50 years old. His music is going in another direction now and if you can‘t appreciate that - it‘s fine because everybody has different taste in music but listening to verses on not alike or lucky you and actually calling it trash is just a blatant demonstration of a lack of knowledge about rap. I agree with you though that he is too cocky and sceptical towards new rap music, which I myself don‘t even consider a big fan of but it‘s still art and very lyrical in many cases.

[@cladladd]

Yeahhh I’m honestly more mad at society, I think the world now isn’t a world that could give us another Eminem show, I made this video a long time ago and don’t really think I would have gone about it this way. At the end of the day the only reason I’m angry about it is because I like Eminem a lot he’s probably my favorite rapper so, appreciate the well worded response, even if you didn’t like the video I’m glad we can have non combative conversations.

[@_Obi-Wan_Kenobi_]

@@cladladd absolutely agree with you here. Rap has really moved away from what it used to be, I also wish we still had 2000s Em, Pac, Biggie etc, rapping was much more focused on flow, rhyme schemes (funny) punchlines back then. Now I feel like the content of the song is becoming more important while flow and classic beats are replaced with trap and in the worst cases autotune mumbling. Going into a song with technical ambitions is immediately called corny, but I think rap as a genre is generally corny so what… That‘s why I was glad to see Eminem raising the bar for this side of rap with his new albums and I see you have slightly changed your opinion on this as well so that‘s great to hear. I‘m not a stan or hip hop mind after all I just appreciate a lot of Eminem‘s music for the energy it conveys, the demanding rhyme schemes, awesome flow, great hooks and humor while you may be more of a (especially modern) hip hop fan in general (i dont know) so with different tastes in music it only makes sense that our opinion on the new Eminem differs a bit.

[@cladladd]

@_Obi-Wan_Kenobi_ yeah I can’t get into a lot of new rap because it seems very focused on the rapper life style where the 2000s/90s rap was about life on the streets. Now it just seems to be odes to abundance and abuse.

[@The-Endo-SymArmor]

​​@@cladladdAgreed. At the end of the day tho Eminem brought all this on himself with his past actions and that Sway and Crooked I interview did him no favors. All it did was exacerbate the fact that he's a out of touch bitter rapper who dislikes other people's taste in music and it hurts to say this cause I'm a fan of his.

[@birkneo]

Bro he never started that beef☠️mgk did all he did was finish it and only after the internet practically forced him to☠️☠️ like what even is this video Eminem didn't fall off and still is very very relevant in the genre he's pushing 50 and still outselling a majority of artists id say he's doing better than ever

[@lightningmcqueen4024]

He's 51 this October!!

[@jedieknight72]

Being and old fan, It's just sad to see. I always thought the "kamikaze era" was a plan initially. I mean revival was purposefully made that way. It was a clear excuse to bark back at the rap world later. He had nothing left in his "recovery" persona lyrically. Campaign speech, no favours, then this BET cypher, revival are all deeply political. Some would say he has always been political, but not to that degree. Its not just controversial, it's just dumb because people became very opinionated and personally, for artist picking a side is lame af. I hardly ever hear "the feels" in his songs. They are not funny anymore, they dont touch you anymore. It's just smart punchlines and fast rapping that make you say "wow that's crazy!". I liked kamikaze, he made some good points but from the point of his legacy it's a clear inconsistency. He went clear in recovery, then he tried to put on the mask of slim shady again but it's no longer 2000's, it's impossible to recapture your youth because you have a baggage behind you and it just feels immature.

[@cladladd]

Yeahhhh it honestly was like witty banter but now it has turned into like when you hear you parents arguing in the other room. Like just a pure unlikeable fight about something that most people won’t even be able to relate to.

[@theduffman9834]

Eminem sold out. Hes an old man and hasnt been GREAT in over a decade. Used to love bumping his music in the car all the time

[@howlindeath4278]

Bro I stopped listening to eminem a long time ago, there is alot of people who still support him, but while his name is still famous his music...his newer shit the last few albums nobody really cares. I don't hear his songs hardly anywhere anymore like at all, none of my friends, none of my coworkers nobody listens to his shit. Maybe one dude I know listens to his modern stuff but the only people I know who still listen to eminem songs are always the older songs, the ones when he was actually eminem. Idk man his shit just sounds soft now, sounds like he is Whining half the time now, rapping about random shit. Hell whatever happened to slim shady. Dude just doesn't have that dog in him anymore.

[@dwaynejpeterkin]

I agree with everything u said and I like Eminem however he hasn’t been the same since recovery as he ran out of ideas and I hope he doesn’t drop another album

[@GakuSaguLagu-yu4qj]

Nahh he dropping this summer😂😂😂 it's gonna suck😭

[@TajusYoungOfficial]

Your video was not deep at all. I agree with some of your opinions but a better analysis could've been done.

[@cladladd]

Indeed, I’m no music critic just a little thing I wanted to talk about.

[@francismumo6462]

The downfall of Eminem!!!??? What are you talking about 😂😂😂😂😂 we must be in separate worlds

[@dkmma3312]

Right this is stupid 😅 most viewed rapper last year . I clicked on it like how 😅

[@Yo-Ah-Kim]

That’s outside the culture. Eminem got the biggest fanbase that’s not Hip Hop fans, they are Eminem fans and support nothing else. Just look how ya’ll act when someone diss the man. You gang up on them and go full hater mode.

[@blaccgetsuga8714]

A legend who’s still popular yes, but he did fall off just in a different way. No radio play ( maybe he doesn’t care) but whatever he has a true fan base but that doesn’t mean he didn’t fall off . The way he raps the monotone ass weak ass raps that have no basis or point. It’s trash. I love the dude Eminem is a true legend I love all his older shit .. I even like recovery but everything after that idk. It’s like he thinks to hard now or something and isn’t being himself

[@The-Endo-SymArmor]

​@@blaccgetsuga8714that's the problem. He's being a character called the rap God instead of just being Marshall. He's truly lost himself and what made him popular in the first place. He's lost his relatability

[@alexandermartinez4494]

Forgot about Em listed to forgot about dr.

[@KacperD2007]

What about Michael Jackson?

[@birkneo]

2:48 BRO ITS A CYPHER THAT LEGIT HOW THEY WORK ALL THE OTHER ARTISTS SIT IN THE BACKGROUND AND WAIT FOR THERE TURN like did you even do research on this at all? nobody using them as a prop☠️

[@cladladd]

But it isn’t tho bro the only one that exists is Eminem’s, there is no footage of anyone else coming up to the “mic”. It weird, it’s like a fake cypher.

​@@cladladd Bro just look up "Eminem 2017 BET Cypher". It's literally the second result to come up

Stil out raps everyone thoug

indeed thats one thing he still does very well. that MGK track basically ended that dudes career

Eminem has always been the best example of "Look up the lyrics bro its totally deep wowee wow wow! He's saying random bs so fast too! EPIC!"

[@Ipidydafoo-em2nb]

uh, no, this is some blatant hater shit you are talking, his lyrics do make plenty of sense and a lot of it is usually metaphors that go over peoples heads, so no, people dont look his lyrics up bc its "random bs" they look them up bc he has a diverse lyrical talent that most people cannot understand fully the first time around.

[@cladladd]

Agreed, he’s the goat bro

[@lightningmcqueen4024]

This is complete bs

[@birkneo]

the 5 pple who actually liked this comment legit makes my brain hurt

You said is correct.. Random BS.. Part of the reason he fell off. Point proven.. 😂

Damn this is a genuinely honest channel, I subbed from the elden ring video and now im binge watching all your content

[@imaweiner1293]

He fell off

[@KacperD2007]

It's cause he's in his 50s now he's not gonna be on top like in the 2000s

@@KacperD2007yeah, but his music is nothing like back then. he's not even trying!

[@siloshroom2132]

It’s sad because he fell off so hard that even when I say Eminem is my favorite rapper of all time people are like “come on bro really” like his music used to be so fire now I can’t stand his new shit at all

[@KacperD2007]

I mean in he's in his 50s now and this isn't the 2000s any more

[@The-Endo-SymArmor]

​@@KacperD2007then he needs to retire. You can't keep making excuses for him and it hurts me to say it but dug himself into hole that he can't get out of now and it's only going to get worse.

[@mllrd]

I couldn’t take him seriously after “playing fortnite with your grandma” he probably fell off sooner but that and the awfully hot coffee pot just made him look so ridiculous

[@cladladd]

I didn’t hate the fortnite with your grandma song, It’s silly like old em was, it just makes me sad that he is culturally aware of fortnite and has to address it at all.

[@revoIution]

He did not have a downfall bruh

[@hansolo9585]

He absolutely did. Multiple ones. Nobody takes him seriously anymore besides mindless Stans.

[@unrevoked7137]

delusional ahh mf bro do you really think he only went completely upwards from 1996 to 2023?

[@birkneo]

​@@hansolo9585 he absolutely did not lmfao bro he is so far from falling off this shouldnt even be a topic even if he lost 75% of his fan base hed still be a very relevant artist, at a curtain point you legit just become to big to ever truly die off unless you just quit all together

He fell off in quality. Not quantity or popularity.b

Its obvious you are not a real fan and don't know anything about EM or hip hop 😂
