Eminem is the greatest rapper alive and always will be. You don't have to be a fan, but you have GOT to respect him. Of all the things he's been through and seen and done, he's a living LEGEND. And he's still rapping, and no matter how many people hate him twice as many people will ALWAYS love him. And he's not an "aging artifact" cause he's pretty god damn sexxyy! FUCK YOU!!!!!

He's ultimate proof that no publicity is bad. Everyone hated everything before the hiatus, and it looks like you all are raising him right back up there again, with this new "fat Elvis" persona you're putting on him.

To be honest, Relapse isn't his best record, but it's not as bad as this article says, for example, I really liked 'Beautiful', I thought it was one of the most thoughtful and introspective songs he's done. And I even liked 'Crack a Bottle', though only as a party tune. What I'm trying to say is that although the record is nowhere near as good as his old stuff, it's still a creditable one, and not the worst thing he could've come up with.

Let it go people you will never be him. People need to just leave Eminem alone I mean the guy went through alot in his life and its wrong that people talk about him like if they knew him personally.

I think that every artist will reach a point where they simply can't continue producing music in exactly the same style or with the same messages. after a while, it just becomes tired and over-done, and people start to look for something more. so i think its only natural that eminems music and messages and stuff have been changing over time, maybe it was time for something new. wether he succeeded in keeping the biting and clever elements to his songs which he was known for is debatable, but i think that complaining about his change in style isnt right. it happens to all artists, there comes a point where they have to change a bit, and try out something new, and if it doesnt work then it doesnt work, thats all there is to it. and im sure there are a lot of people out there who like the new style that eminems going for, and i think 'thehough1' said it perfectly when they said 'don’t assume it’s worse because it’s different to what you liked initially'. thehough1 – i could not agree with you more.

With such a basic fact wrong, the article needs some review. Furthermore, 2002 is widely considered his zenith, with 'Lose Yourself' and 'Without me'- his two biggest selling hits. However, this article states 1999-2001 as his peak, which would only be the case for those interested in upcoming artists- obviously the most commercially successful music is going to be the best in the objective majority view. 'Crack A Bottle' is bad for his standards, but the rest of Relapse is a complete return to Shady. Shady has lost the edge and has turned into mere outrageous boasts, but I believe this is only because of pressure from fans. Not all Eminem fans talk of 'paraphras[ing] dog-eared dogma- fans have been demanding Eminem returns to drugs, his nother and crimes and Relapse is almost nothing but. To most this is seen as a return to what made him great, even if it appears shallow and commercial upon greater inspection. Not every song can be lyrical genius- some can be comercial, boastful semi-gangsta rap and a different audience appreciates this. If he aimed only at those interested in innovative lyrics he wouldn't be viable to the mass market. Finally as an artist progresses many people expect the artist to deteriorate- culture creates a hero from rags and makes them great, but people expect him to fall again and get worse. The more people expect this they will feel like the music is deteriorating, whether or not it is. Eminem has to find new ground, some people will like it, some won't but don't assume it's worse because it's different to what you liked initially Some great language here but Eminem will be 37 in October (the 17th).

The Travis Barker remix of "3AM" is a totally fresh and dynamic rock/rap fusion piece. "Beautiful" is an amazing song and gives deep insight into the black well that Em sunk into during his period of drug addiction and also shows the way out of the tunnel for anyone who can pull him/herself out. "Crack a Bottle" is a great party song and people are enjoying it all over the world. Is that so bad? In terms of where he might go in the future (e.g., in his 40s when he cannot sing about girls in his Tahoe any more - at some point it becomes gross) ... it is clear that Mr. Mathers is a very good actor and make some great films. I hope that good projects will be sent his way so we can see the grown up Marshall on the big screen. Best of luck to him whatever he does, he has given incredible amounts of joy to so many people. The most important thing is that his precious child should grow up to be a happy, healthy and successful young woman and make him a very proud Dad.
