So when is Detox coming out then? It's only been like.. 7 years late.
Anyway. I gotta say. I cannot fucking stand Eminem anymore. His flow, style and attitude just do nothing for me. The tonality in his voice over the past ten years has progressively gone gruffer and he just dosent punch through beats like it used to. He smile's any more either and seem's to just not have the energy from the Slim Shady days. Happens with most mainstream rappers really.
Second to that I think the production of his past couple of albums have verred away from hip-hop to a more mainstream pop rap sound. I miss the old Em.
Thinking about this, yes his best mate died which really must have fucked him up. Regardless tho, rappers usually get better when tragedy hits them eg MF DOOM.
