Y’all are weird
What he’s talking about at least in that little snippet in OP is some real s***
Why do y’all try so hard for funny replies
And no I’m not some huge Eminem fan maybe have ran thru only his first two albums front to back lol
My writing process is different now than it was back in the day. It used to be, give me whatever piece of paper is laying around and I'm going to write some ideas down. Sometimes I wish I could have that freedom back. At the beginning of my career, I had this whole canvas that I could paint on. "I haven't made a song about this, this, this. I can make a song about this." The more you paint on that canvas, all of the sudden, you've made a song about every single thing you can f***in' possibly think of. So, I start getting in my head. If I had a choice between being the best rapper or making the best albums, I'd rather be the best rapper. That's how I rap, to be the best rapper. Obviously, all of that is subjective, and everybody's got their favorite rappers, but in my head, I would rather do that than just make good songs
Insightful
Eminem pretty much confirmed what I thought this entire time about the "Encore" album. The quality and perception of that album would've been totally different if certain songs didn't get leaked, forcing him to re-do it and put those stupid goofy songs on there.
So, he originally wanted "We As Americans" and "Bully" to be the first two songs to start the album. Interesting.

i wonder what em albums would be like if those were his main focus still
Yeah this is the f***ing problem.
“If I had a choice between being the best rapper or making the best albums, I'd rather be the best rapper.”
Yeah this is the f***ing problem.
“If I had a choice between being the best rapper or making the best albums, I'd rather be the best rapper.”
"My role in today's hip-hop is to always try to be the best rapper. That's it. That's how I want to feel inside. That's what I want to feel. And I can't do that until I listen to what the f*** J. Cole just put out. What the f*** did Kendrick just put out? And I'm thinking, Oh, these dudes ain't playing. I don't want to get swept away in that shuffle. I still want to let everybody know who the f*** I am. Like I said, "They rap to be the best rappers." I’ll hear some s*** by them, and I’ll be like, Yo, I ain’t the best rapper right now. I need to f***in’ get up, get back on my s***."
"At this point, a lot of the big achievements that could come in your career have happened for me already, so I don't hyper-focus on numbers and being on charts. What I hyper-focus on is people like Kendrick Lamar, Joyner Lucas, J. Cole and Big Sean, and watching them and how the f*** they're doing their s***. Because they're also focused on being the best rappers."

Man needs to rediscover intercourse in order to get more inspiration
Yeah this is the f***ing problem.

Yeah this is the f***ing problem.

Yepp I was just about the post this quote.
Mans admits that he doesn't care about putting out good albums anymore, he just wants be the best lyrically
So yea Em's music just isn't for me anymore if that is his mindset now
"Yo em this beat and chorus sounds like s***"
"yeah but did you see how many words I was able to cram into the verses? Let's make this s*** the intro!"

Joyner Lucas and Big Sean
