Sometimes a Comeback Isn't Always Great


Hip hop is in a critical state right now.Name five quality albums that came out since last April... I'm still waiting... My point is proven. Artist are just not releasing good music right now and this is a major problem.

Now, everyone knows Eminem is returning and his album is going to be released soon, but to me this just isn't the same Eminem anymore. Ever since he went on that hiatus for a couple years, his music just isn't like that same classic Marshall Mathers that we loved . His style is definitely different. Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that new voice that he raps in now? His tone and voice while rapping are just different and not in a good way. I listened to Em's music and I tried not to have any biases against it. I listened to the songs he has released several times and none of them have grown on me. I feel like Eminem is trying hard to go back to his old self, but he just can't quite hit it.

I remember listening to some songs Eminem had been featured on during his hiatus, such as "Touchdown", which was T.I.'s song off of his album, T.I. Vs. T.I.P. Slim Shady was on the track rapping about candy paint. Yes, CANDY PAINT!!! When have you known Eminem to rap about candy paint on a car??? When I heard that, I knew right away Em wasn't the same.

I hate to have to say this, but Eminem's career is over. The three songs I heard off the album are horrible. He isn't the same guy and he hasn't improved. I will not be buying his next album. I have a really strong feeling it won't be worth the money, let alone the time it takes to get to the store. I'm sorry Em, but you are contributing to all the other trash being released. Of course Em will sell records. Everyone is dying for another Eminem album. I just want to warn everyone. Don't get your hopes up too high. You never know though. Maybe I'm the wrong one here
