lol, SOMEBODY got a voodoo doll of Eminem laying in their room. And if I saw you in person, I'd straight slap your face for calling Infinite, Slim Shady EP, Slim Shady LP, or Marshall Mathers LP trash. You got a grudge against the guy obviously, and you dont know hip-hop if you're going to call his earlier works trash. But I do agree that at this point in his career- Eminem probably would not have fit well on "My World"
As for "King Mathers". I dont like the title, but fuck it; why not? King Mathers it is.
I agree with the one cat who previously stated that people are gonna be surprised by this album. What people dont take into consideration is the social/economical aspect of Em's life when he cut his first 3 albums (which ultimately got him famous). He came from rock bottom with a hunger to reach the top... and he made it. Unfortunately, after he hit the top every song he turned out was a flop in the eyes of real hip hop fans. Basically, the man had no motivation or inspiration to put into his songs. It happens with a lot of artists, be it rap or rock. Mfkrs get rich and famous and they lose the drive that made them such good musicians.
That being said, I personally believe that the past few years have given Eminem a lot of energy that is reminiscent of his roots, but in the modern day. The shit with his wife, Proof being killed, and hip hop fans like ourselves calling his music official garbage the day after Encore dropped has given him reasons to rap again, and do it good.
Maybe I'll buy a ticket to his show if he has a final tour. I expect this album to shit on every other hip hop album released since January.
