Man Eminem has a weird life cycle of "build up my career and become one of the most influential rappers in my time, then destroy my career with levels of increasingly embarrassing music to the point I become a punchline, then rebuild my career slowly but surely until folks are saying I might have peaked again, then once again redestroying my career." I'm just saying Marshall Mathers lp3 should be pretty good

[@urivan9613]

I don't think Eminem can be "fixed" at this point. Dude lost it big time... You can tell from the stuff he does that he's absolutely convinced that embarrassing similies, weak punchlines, corny wordplay (with adlibs!) and rhyming as many syllabuses as possible is what hip-hop is all about. Add to that awfulness these annoying trap beats and you get a total disaster. And the fact that the guy is almost 50 years old makes it even worse. He has completely forgotten about quality songwriting... Or he doesn't care anymore...

[@PoggoMcDawggo]

@@urivan9613 I think its more he doesn't care anymore. Why bother spending time trying your hardest when you can do whatever and still make money? Hell even now, and on RC's previous vid about this segment on em, you'll have fans making any excuse for eminems bad lyrics and attacking anyone who disagrees. Dude has a large base of stans who will die on any hill for him. At that point you don't need to try your best cause they'll buy whatever you put out and make excuses for it.

[@urivan9613]

@@PoggoMcDawggo Probably. There's no quality control whatsoever in the stuff he puts out lately. The inconsistencies and lack of conceptual clarity in his recent albums is alarming. I really don't get his commercial success at this point of his career. How do people find his new stuff appealing is beyond me. He's not a relevant figure like he was in the early 00's, he's not controversial anymore not only because of his age but because there's nothing really to get offended by (except for his ridiculous abuse of annoying wordplay and adlibs), and his songs are not pleasing to the ear... I don't get the appeal.

[@PoggoMcDawggo]

@@urivan9613 People have a hard time admitting when a singer they like falls through the cracks. That and there's this notion that because x was good in the past their recent stuff must also be good. Now I know everyone has different taste in music, but when the best defense of a song is "he was having fun with it" it's time to let it go. I don't think em has that it factor anymore and there's no use defending whatever the hell he did in that song. No one stays on top forever, but that's ok.

About equally as stupid as the people that want to force vaccines. We never had to force them before, people got all the other vaccines, the few that don't don't effect those who do. Most people will get the covid one. But to force a law is unnecessary and totalitarian and if you're pro choice about abortion but not vaccines, you're not pro choice and are a hypocrite. I got my shots, I'll get my kids vaccinated when i have kids. But to give the government power to force injecting a shot against peoples will(changing the law will mean they can force every vaccine in future, not just the covid one). I'll die on that hill. Especially with untested vaccines (ik they say they tested it but it takes years to do, they made this in 2 weeks, there's no way they can be sure of long-term effects). You don't know If there's gonna be birth defects or long term side effects

[@thedarthmj94]

@Esther Sparrow according to the DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of "Mental Disorders", Fifth Edition) Diagnosis is based on behavior, not mechanism. I don't know where RC's source for the in utero claim came from but it's forward and back misinformation. Can't say I haven't heard it before though, I guess the much more common lie of Anti-vax from Da 5'9' jumped out at me. In my experience, the in utero claim is mostly used by people who see the autism spectrum as a disease instead of disability or identity. The claim is normally used by people who want to start "early intervention" which usually means ABA, a pseudoscience from the same guy who developed conversion therapy and is gradually being recognized as inhuman. Some people also use the in utero claim as a pro-choice argument. I am pro-choice, but the claim in this context is usually presented in a "fear the r-slur" kind of way. That's why I advocate for more social acceptance, not that anybody should be interrogated about their choice to abort, but so fewer people who want to start families don't see disability as a terrifying thing. I realize this is a long post, but it's also very abridged. I'd alo recommend reading up on neurodiversity, as well as checking out some hash tags on social media, like actuallyautistic askanautistic and autisticwhileblack if you can.

Not that I know what it’s going to be at all. Eminem has really exhausted all of his compelling narratives at this point, or perhaps not. I wish he’d inject his “fast flows” songs with a little more of the confidence we saw on Rap God, stop with the mostly cringeworthy relationship tracks, and reflect on his career a little more thoughtfully. Maybe a reprise to Kamikaze is in order in a year where young rappers have become way more fun, or perhaps a revisit of some of the themes from MMLP2?

I think Eminem should stop trying to be controversial nowadays, accept his dad status and lean more into his dad bars and corny punchlines. Because the "I'm so offensive" lines are way more contrived now, he can't pull them off as well anymore, and the pun bars are the ones that feel more authentic.

I find it ironic that RC's criticisms about Em's work in MMLP2, was that it wasn't old Em.

exactly. he has the mention of the underground, leading to the planet that roots/planted my roots wordplay... then the relevant “planet that roots/ as in the group/“ four-syllable multi... then the “no-one thinks DARK as i THINK” to set-up the BLACK THOUGHT mention (relevant bc he was the leading rapper of the roots hip-hop group mentioned earlier). then he goes even deeper by mentioning black thpught’s name tareeq. “imagine the havoc these black thoughts are to wreak”. all whilst making sense conceptually, as he’s giving respect to his contemporaries whilst drawing parallels between him and black thought, as they are both dangerous rappers wreaking havoc. NOT TO MEMTION the rhyme schemes used, “planet that roots” and “dark as i think” are both four-syllable schemes, so the rhymes are consistent throughout this crazy scheme. he THEN goes on to string together cohesive sentences comprised of this dense rhyme scheme, whilst apologising to Rihanna (ergo, actually saying shit). it’s very very reductive on behalf of rap critic to reduce this entire thing down to a bad dad joke. i think it’s blind vitriol and hatred guiding his analysis, as opposed to objective and measured critique.
