As Eminem has gotten more focused on complex rhyme schemes, his verses sometimes seem like he recorded them then just laid a beat on. The best flows bring something new out of the beat, they ride the pocket in an interesting way.
Compare how much you felt his message on something like Hailie's Song or Cleaning Out My Closet, where he was singing the hook, versus Headlights (which is even more personal and emotional), where he got someone else to do it.ĭ) His flow (much better on the latest record) lost its musicality and smoothness. This rarely sounds good (Love the Way You Lie is an example of its working), and it also takes some of that emotion out of his music. He's tried to compensate by putting other artists on the hook, but often that leads to an awkward mash-up of shouty rapiddy-rap interspersed with overly-poppy hooks. Name a hook in his last few albums as catchy and iconic as hooks like Real Slim Shady, Lose Yourself, Hi My Name is, Forgot About Dre ect. In his prime, he might have been the best hook-writer in the game. This is inevitable for almost all artists, but that thing they tapped into has moved on to some extent.Ĭ) He has lost his ability to write a killer hook. (Acknowledged it himself) Back in the day he really tapped into the zeitgeist of late 90s/ early 2000s. There is a sense now that he is trying to find things to rap about. No amount of punchlines and metaphors will draw you into his world.ī) He had much, much, more to say in his earlier work. There are flashes like in the Ringer, but he just dosent sound like he is talking to YOU nearly as often anymore. However, as his writing style has become more focused on punchlines and complex schemes, the directness of his rapping (I spit it slow so these kids know Im talking to them) isn't there. You feel his frustration in Way I AM, you feel his hunger in Lose Yourself ect ect.

It helps alert the mods to negativity that may be ruining the experience for everyone here. Excluding other hip hop fans and discouraging their taste in hip hop is not allowed. Gatekeeping is someone deciding who does and does not belong here. Continuing this behavior after a temp ban may result in a permanent ban, depending on post history. Calling people names or starting inflammatory arguments to rile people up may result in a temporary ban. But, it is against the rules to personally attack people. It is completely okay to talk about somebody else's opinion and offer your take on it. No personally attacking people for their opinions or gatekeeping. Not following this rule is most likely to result in a permanent ban, even more likely if there is a history of spamming multiple subreddits. This also includes asking to collaborate (networking). This includes either your own or your friend's music, music video, youtube channel, podcast, website, and anything along those lines decided by r/hiphop101's moderation team. If you want music feedback, try r/makinghiphop, but make sure to follow their rules.
