I agree. There's no way Eminem has fell off lyrically. Fair enough he might not write another Lose Yourself or Sing for the Moment again, but some of the material he has released since his combat is very impressive.
He did actually "fall off" lyrically during the Encore era. But even then, we did get Spend Some Time, How Come, Yellow Brick Road etc.
He has released have songs such as Deja Vu, Going Through Changes, You're Never Over, Stay Wide Awake, On Fire, My Mom, Insane etc. To say they're "weak" lyrically is ridiculous.
There's a lot of nostalgia for "prime" Eminem which is why some people blindly post things such as "New Eminem is poor lyrically!!!" without thought.
