Current Shady Climate

I'm gonna be honest. I've never been a big fan of Eminem. I recognize talent, I recognize skill, both of which he genuinely possesses. What he doesnt possess is stand alone quality. I always tell people, "he only hot on other niggas joints"(that usually comes up because of Renegade, Love Me, anything on Chronic 2001).
Let's be real, while niggas enjoy his shit too, its primarily white people that love this guy. For that displaced caucasian @ the start of the millenium when HipHop had/was cemented/ing it's place in mainstream, white boys & girls did not know how to openly rep what they liked. A legitimate skilled white rapper did the trick. He put his bum on your lips(twice), never saw an ass like that, & lost himself...a few times...& people still love dude. That was before 2009, when riding the wave of a gimmick (being white) didnt require him to really connect.

It's mid 2009, and dude is still making "hits" selling over 600k in opening week of Relapse. Sincere congrats to him, however it appears people may have gotten tired of his routine.
I'm not making this up, couldn't if I tried.
This is a excerpt from a concert goer @ the LA show w/ Jay-Z (posted below). I'm not knocking his performance skills, but it seems that people are realizing this dude's skill is above, while music is sub par. If you look back at his singles, yikes.
Read below:
"When Eminem rapped with Jay [at the launch concert for the new DJ Hero video game] , the crowd loved it," said one eyewitness. "But when he continued on his own and did songs off his new album, the energy just died. People were pumped to see him, but he wasn't interacting with his fans. His performance was mechanical, without a lot of personality, and people were pretty disappointed."

Said a second partygoer, "After Eminem finished his set, he left the stage and was waiting on the sidelines, hoping that the crowd would cheer so that he'd have to do an encore. Unfortunately for him, that didn't happen - people started to file out before his set was even done, and didn't seem to really care if he came back or not. So he didn't." -NY Daily News

This is the same sitution with G.Unit. They rode the wave, word to Biggaveli. It was all pull, barely any push when the Unit first appeared. They took over. Now that people actually have to work to promote, they dont know what the FUCK they doing. Holla @ Sha$XL... thats almost a direct quote.

Interscope is over. Defjam is over. The Bridge been over.

Seems Atlantic is the new Zion, word to Blueprint III's alleged home.
