Eminem has only gotten better over the years. I guess my taste in music is different because I do not think Eminem has made any bad albums. He’s made albums that were not as great as his prior but… I personally do not care for his older music about him raping his mom and slitting peoples throats. His music has matured over the years. As fans, we try to hold artists to unrealistic standards. There have never been an artist that have continued to drop back to back classic albums because music is about preference Michael Jackson could not top thriller and his album sells prior to his death, struggled with his past 3 albums. Did we ever say MJ is trash??? Eminem is the only Caucasian artist that dropped 2 consecutive Diamond Status albums with Marshall Mathers in 2000 and The Eminem Show in 2002. “Recovery” in 2010 if I’m not mistaken won rap album of the year. Correct me if I’m wrong. The issue with Eminem especially in the African American community, is that we don’t deny he’s lyrically great, the issue is that African Americans as a culture, cannot relate to what Eminem rap about. I think that lyrically, Eminem is unstoppable and his new album proved that. In matters of his content he is not relatable as Jay Z would be. That is why most black folks will say jay z is better than Eminem because jay z is both lyrical and his content is relatable to a large portion of the culture. But this new Eminem album is pure genius
