Em needs his hip hop pass revoked just off this tracklist
Proof is dead breh
Then you'd have to revoke the "hip hop pass" of all of your favortie GOATS, because even guys like Game and Jada worked with pop acts...or are we gonna act like Bad Boy wasn't rockin with Mariah and Faith Evans on the regular.
IMO Eminem's worst offense is that he claims to be such a hip-hop head.
And deep down I really think he is. I mean, the people he thanked when he won a Grammy for TES says a lot.
Dope list. But it's like...Em will talk about wanting to do a joint with DJ Premier, and then never do it. Or he'll talk about wanting to do 6 really hard joints with Just Blaze for Recovery...and 5 of them get axed. Or he'll say he wants to get in the studio with Alchemist...but it doesn't happen.
Em talked about this legendary joint he did with Preem called Keys To The City...and never released it.
Like, man, don't even talk about it. If you aren't gonna actually make the hip-hop shyt, stop saying that you are.
I remember when this came out, and I KNEW that Em would either just be scratched on the hook, or he'd be on the intro or something. And I was almost right
And I sort of think it's the label maybe? Or maybe Em is scared to do it? I don't know but I just get the feeling he isn't making the kind of music he wants to make.
shyt looks like Recovery Pt.2I am not a huge Em fan but how can anyone hate based off just a tracklist?
I think they say that to placate rap fans and ensure Em still has credibility. Other rappers are too scared of the repercussions of calling him outAll of this!
I'm starting to feel like he's a fukking liar.
I don't understand how him and Redman will always show love for each other in their interviews on some bromance shyt, but yet they haven't done a second record together after all these years. Or never doing a full rap record with Nas (the cross don't count) or LL yet he was heavily influenced by them. It's like a kid who's been wanting to go to six flags all year, then you finally take him and he only gets on one ride and wants to go home.
Same with Dr. Dre. For years you always hear about Dre's always in the studio. Em's always in the studio. They're lab rats. They in the studio all day. And for years you keep hearing this about them, yet the music doesn't match up at all. They hardly drop any music and when they finally do, it's average or trash. I'm starting to feel like ever since 2003 when 50 dropped grodt then dropped the massacre in 05, Em and Dre were eating so much off 50 that they didn't feel the need to continue dropping dope shyt. And that's when this era of subpar music from that camp started

But when it comes time to market and sell the album, he panders to Top 40 non-rap audiences and middle America
The way they see it, this way they can have both. But take away the Top 40 pop hooks and pop-rock production, and they lose the middle America audience that only listens to Em, Tech N9ne, Hopsin, Yela etc. The appeal with Em in those audiences is that he doesn't make typically Urban (ie. Black) sounding music, he is a direct contrast to that, and that audience appreciates that sadly...
I also don't think Em is being held at gunpoint and forced to make these records anymore. He is 45+ years old. Maybe he wouldnt get pop stars to sing the hooks, but he would be making the same kinds of records with Skylar and Alex the Kid of his own volition
