Eminem is one of the best writers to touch the mic. He suffers from a lack of content. His first 3 projects were great because he was unpacking his life hardships with wit, humor, lyricism, and shock value. We were learning who dude was.
Since then, he has changed his content because we know all about his life already. He had nothing to really talk about besides drugs, dumb stuff, and battling addiction. It wasnt really resonating.Everything else seems contrived, like some of the pop stuff. He was tryna reinvent himself in today's landscape. Allot of other rappers rap about the the same things like materialism, and enjoying life, just in different ways. But Em cant do that because its never been him and would come off as inauthentic.
I think the project is reaching allot of people because of his inspired content, proving doubters wrong (versus just talking about the doubt itself like on Revival) and its execution. Marshall is always better on offense than on defense, specially when inspired/ pissed off.
