But, in saying that, I also don't think Eminem needs anyone else's opinion, except his fans. Because at the end of the day, Eminem knows hip-hop, understands the level of lyricism he was at, and so should know that some of the music he's been releasing lately is not up to scratch. Ok for the club-banging mainstream corny-ass rappers, but not even near OK for a rapper of EMinem's pedigree. Let's hope that it's not all just propoganda, and that maybe it is on another level, but I think we'd all settle for some of his early-days level, when he was on another level compared to virtually anybody.
Great post.
