When I was in (get this) *high school* and Eminem came onto the scene, he was a breath of fresh air and a novelty you really couldn’t look away from.
I feel like he stayed interesting for literally one album. He brought a little bit of it back for the third album, I guess, but as soon as shit like Not Afraid and those horrible classic rock sampling tracks from the 8-Mile soundtrack came out, Jesus — man was insufferably self-serious almost as a rule, and all that fun novelty was lost.
I swear, that video where he’s falling off the building for the entirety of it? That is the Creed of rap music. Like holy shit, the lugubriousness!
