old Em or new Em

[Emadyville]

The new em is more lyrical but the old em was more wittier with his line's even if he didn't pack as many multies in, sometime's it's just sounds like he's putting anything that rhyme's well together for the sake of it, without the lines actually saying anything(my opinion tho).

I'd honestly have to say I think what you said is more fact than opinion

[Arrinef]

hmm, but i just can't see eminem releasing a song that grabs me like ..

8 mile road
sing for the moment
lose yourself

etc, it just seems that them kinda songs are never gonna come back.

now it's all, kill, murder, rape, more rape, extra rape, drugs.

yeah this is a good point, I feel the same actually now that u said that, but I think if R2 is dope it'll be good for the fact I enjoying sslp,mmlp,TES, and relapse, plus a bunch of random songs he dropped in there. But encore kinda was the marker where he could either break or not, and relapse didnt break me from his shit, so i'd say he can fully come back with R2, but if he does the songs like u mentioned I think he will be back at the forefront of rap like in 2001-2002

after hearing em verse in drop the world, and his refill tracks. its seems like he's coming back full circle. He's on his shit again, he's hungry, and he wants his crown back. so i'd say both era of ems

New Em. Old em was great at the time, but now, looking back, I cant believe I thought the blonde hair thing was cool

[eminemgirl1234]

I said it once and I'm gonna say it agian...
Old em...
and it was'nt always about the blonde hair, it was about the audacity, the balls to say whatever he wanted and no one can tell him otherwise, execpt for Steve; but he never listened to him anyways, the crimanilism(I don't know if that's a real word or not...), the passion in his music, the realiztion of his rhymes...That's what it was all about!

[LLockhart86]

Agreed.

the older music is great...but maybe ive played it out a bit too much. Im 23 and ive been listening to eminem since space jam was popular....

so all that old shit is just old now.

the eminem relates to me personally now.

drugs and shit.

and recovering from drugs.

and wanting to kill people

Oh, god! Are you serious? You gotten help right? And don't kill me!

old Em > new Em

I'm tired of the raping,killing,torturing people and shit nowadays. Although, I guess it's better than fucking ho's and getting money like everyone else talks about.

New Em - not more lyrical, rhymes with accent (for now), songs aren't nearly as good, has turned his old raw funny style into a corny cheesy style, can't make a decent album

vs

Old Em - came with songs so raw (Still Don't Give A Fuck) you felt cool yourself when listening, put emotion into songs on a Tupac level, and made amazing albums

too close to call

[GoodGirlsGetGutted]

New.

He's a sick fuck who isn't afraid to be a sick fuck. I love how his rhymes are so maniacal today, but he's so laid back in real life now. It makes me think that every murder he puts on a track saves a life that he would've taken. That's fucking badass, that he's like a beast who comes when called upon, as if the very Devil was summoned. Summoned to bring pain and suffering to everyone undeserving of life... on record.

Old Em

[Wic Kid]

I cant pick. Sure, the old Eminem is the guy that got me into rap, but new Em has far better multies and flow than the old Em. So I cant pick.

I was thinking, that's a great point someone made about old Em being more focused on content and wit, and new Em being more focused on flow and multiples.
So if Rx2 is laden with relevant and balanced content while also maintaining (if not furthering) his flow and multiples skill, then that should be the total Eminem package.
Besides that, old Em has Infinite, SSLP, MMLP, TES, and Encore to his name, while new Em only has one comeback album in Relapse. Obviously "old Em" has much stronger credentials as is, so the comparison is nulled until the new album comes out. It really just doesn't make sense to ask before Rx2, because the answer is so, so obvious.
