Em has a strong white middle Americana audience that supports him and makes his label $$$

As long as he's part of that machine, he'll never be able to escape the themes and production he uses. He's not being marketed towards black youth and is all about mainstream radio and conventional channels

G-Eazy had more of an indie come-up and has deliberately incorporated more mainstream rap artists and sounds into his shyt. He definitely tries to channel Drake

We really need to stop expecting Eminem to change cause it ain't happening

Em should try to experiment with soulful production, he’s done everything from Rock, Pop even some hardcore gangsta shyt from his prime. I’m not even sure if it would sound good but maybe if he created a song with that element it would indicate whether or not it would mesh well with him.

I do think this Illa dude is the best thing that happened to Ems production. His beats are the closest we got to sample-based (not mainstream classic rock) samples in a long ass time

Hopefully he gets to produce the bulk of his next projects

I don't know about actual 'soul' music, he ain't got the rhythm for that, but like I said, that song reminded me of soft rock, that could be a viable sound for him more so than that Rick Ruben bullshyt he was rapping over.

They trying to pass the torch to Kendrick, they should try and convince Em to let him EP an album for him, that's the only way I see him ever putting out an album anywhere near as good or as better as Relapse at this point in his career. He needs someone who can take the musicality completely off his hands.

It wouldn't work. In his prime, I think so, but in 2019, I'm not trying to hear Eminem over production like that. His voice, flow, and delivery don't fit soulful beats.

Part of me wonders if we'll ever get Eminem working with DJ Premier, since Premier has the partnership with Royce. On paper, it's a great idea. Premier could scratch some of Eminem's classic lines into the hook.

Then I realize that would never work. Eminem is very involved in the production of his songs and he would probably change the beat around or try to tell Premier what he should do with it. And he would have to channel his old style to keep the song from sounding weird, which he rarely ever does (except for "Stepping Stone").

There were rumors that Em made music with Premier back when he returned, it might be in the vault for all we know. And yea, with Em tampering the production it wouldn’t sit well with the person who actually produced the track.

If they did work together in the past, it has to sound better than what it would sound like now. Especially if it was during Relapse when he could still have a straight flow.

I'm willing to bet the reason Eminem doesn't work with big-name, legendary producers is because he's not the kind of person to just sit around and rap to the beat. He has a lot of input on everything. Recovery was the last time he wasn't involved in the production, and since he couldn't get Dre, he had to outsource everything to people like Just Blaze and DJ Khalil and Havoc. At some point, he started limiting his circle to certain producers who could do their own thing, but also take direction from him. Working with someone like Premier means that he would have to be willing to take the Relapse/Recovery approach and just focus on the rhymes.

Em’s content with Just Blaze and Havoc’s production was kind of awkward especially incorporation of fart jokes all throughout the songs kind of turns people off a bit. If he was a little more serious it might’ve been better. If he’s gonna make producers do their thing it would be good If he can cut back on the immature content a bit but I’m not sure how that’s possible cause that’s basically his whole schtick. His fans don’t mind it but it can be hard to listen to. I kinda grew out of that whole style of his, which is basically the majority of his music.

Nobody I know listens to G-Eazy

That's how I know this thread is revisionist bullshyt

Eminem makes music that even black people listen to but not G-Eazy
