Slim Shady EP and MMLP are the only true classic in my opinion. After that he has a double disc of greatest hits, but in saying that he's still one of the best to ever do it. I think he could rap circles around anyone, but his on record persona just got old quick.I don't think Em has anything to rap about.Both Wayne and Em had weak subject matter. As I got older I listened to both of 'em less and less. Em is definitely the better rapper though.
I think everyone gets to that point, especially when you get money and fame. There is no struggle. You're just going through the motions.
I don't think Kanye, 50, Em, Jay....have anything to rap about. Not anything we can really relate to.
I think certain rappers can still do it, because they're going through a lot of trials and tribulations in life, like Scarface
but a lot of them need motivation like Jay on American Gangsta or Nas with Life Is Good.
All these mixtape dudes are going to really have problems, because they throw out so much music. This will be the era of the ghostwriter.
Em's first 3 albums were good/great. The 8 Mile soundtrack had some great songs too (8 Mile, Rabbit Run). After that Em lost his hunger. Once he came back he was done.
