Poor Jimmy Valentine, he just wanted to shred, and instead has to go on stage and listen to a soprano sing about sex and pretty much nothing else every show. Once in a while he gets to pluck a string, but that's rare, probably only a few times per tour. The gods of metal weep upon him for this fate, for even the worst sinner shouldn't deserve that fate.

Eminem really had this nu metal- style anger & rage along with this South Park sense of humor-I think it’s pretty easy to see how he & his music fit in so well with fans of Papa Roach, Limp Bizkit, etc. beyond just skin color. Plus “Lose Yourself” is basically a butt-rock tune. That said, I think his last good song was “Superman” in 2003. 21 years since Eminem made his last good song. Speaking of hurdling at warp speed toward death…

That comment on 2010 feeling older than 2000 is somehow so true! In regards to rock/metal guys liking dad rap: this is clairvoyant. Been on a kick of watching classic In Living Color episodes. They did a bunch of rap segments, typically during end credits, and I just sit there, bobbing my head, saying to myself, "This is the kinda rap I like. Much better than the trash trap beat stuff nowadays." 😅 Though I'll proudly admit what I like shouldn't be popular. It had its day, let the kids have their own tastes and rebellions.

The worst part about 2010's eminem is the beats were weak af. His flow was decent but the beats were sooooo lame and watered down

[@rpmartin8650]

Yep! After Relapse when Dre stepped back a lot, the beats and instrumentals were absolutely terrible.

[@joshuaharper1206]

He always has varied flows but the staccato deep bullfrog voice kind of ruined it. As did the terrible out of place pop artists features. As did the weak songwriting. Aside from having good punchlines, he has had very little to say lately. So I guess the worst part about 2010s/20s Eminem is almost everything. Sad to say, because he's still top 10 or 15 for his early work.

Those 2010’s were the best time to be in your 20’s. I seriously feel like we didn’t care about anything except for listening to crappy music at parties we’d throw together and chasing around baddies. It was just a simple and fun time that seems so different from the era we currently live in.

[@whatistau]

In ten years so much have happened, feels like a lifetime ago. People have to either have pretty boring lives or just coming of age to be looking back at 2010s with nostalgia. I guess in places where seasons dont change time does runs unnoted.

[@morganqorishchi8181]

Most people who look back at the 2010s with nostalgia miss the financial security, lack of rising global conflicts, and pre-inflation prices for things. "You must be living a boring life to miss when you could afford to live and the world wasn't at war every five seconds" is a wild take. Actually, financial security and peace are MORE appealing to people living interesting lives, not less.

This is a good pretty misguided take. Music was slowly but surely getting less catchy and more depressing by the late 2010’s and was absolute trash in 2020 but it has since recovered. Also, who the fuck still listens to the radio in 2024? Get a streaming service and listen to the stuff on your phone rather than the damn radio.
