    Pros: he is still keepin it real through intertwined schemes

    Cons: Eminem has mentally matured and many young fans might not relate 2 his expressed opinions

    I think that Eminem is a lyrical legend,who can be seen both inspiring and also a guideline to success his lyrical content always expresses the views of either Eminem as a citizen exercising his freedom of speech in a fathers perspective or his hilar...ious still a kid inside alter ego "slim shady" and with a legendary production mentor such as dr dre he has shown much growth both as an atist and as a producer i believe there are infinite possibilities to what we will see in the future from him and also hi extremely talented "Partners" in the game Dr Dre (aftermath) D12,G-Unit,Obie Trice,The Game snd the majority of the west coast labels Read more Less

  • All Music Guide

    Eminem took a hiatus after the release of his first motion picture, 8 Mile, in late 2002, but it never seemed like he went away. Part of that is the nature of celebrity culture, where every star cycles through gossip columns regardless of whether they have a project in the stores or theaters, and part of it is that Marshall Mathers kept busy, producing records by his protégés D12, Obie Trice, and 50 Cent all hit albums with the latter turning into the biggest new hiphop star of 2003. All this activity tended to obscure the fact that Eminem hadn't released a fulllength album of new material since The Eminem Show in early summer 2002, and that two and a half years separated that album and its highly anticipated sequel, Encore. As the title suggests, Encore is a companion piece to The Eminem Show the way that The Marshall Mathers LP mirrored The Slim Shady LP, offering a different spin on familiar subjects. Where his first two records dealt primarily with personas and characters, his se...cond two records deal with what those personas have wrought, which tends to be intrinsically less interesting than the characters themselves, since it's dissecting the aftermath instead of causing the drama. On The Eminem Show that kind of selfanalysis was perfectly acceptable, since Eminem was on the top of his game as both a lyricist and rapper; his insights were vibrant and his music was urgent. Musically, Show didn't innovate, but it didn't need to: Eminem and his mentor, Dr. Dre, had achieved cruising altitude, and even if they weren't offering much that was new, the music sounded fresh and alive. Here, the music is spartan, built on simple unadorned beats and keyboard loops. Some songs use this sound to its advantage and a few others break free "Yellow Brick Road" is a tense, cinematic production, yet it fits the subject matter. Eminem has decided to chronicle what's happened to him over the past two years and refute every charge that's made it into the papers. This is quite a bit different than his earlier albums, when he embellished and exaggerated his life, when his relationship with his estranged wife Kim turned into an outlaw ballad, when his frenetic insults, cheap shots, and celeb baiting had a surreal, hilarious impact. Here, Eminem is plainspoken and literal, intent on refuting every critic from Benzino at The Source to Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, who gets an entire song ("Ass Like That") devoted to him. While the album is a little long, it's worth a listen to hear the moments that work really well, whether it's full songs or flights of phrase. - Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide Read more Less
