Rap star Eminem feels burned out by his success and will probably make his final concert appearance in Ireland on September 17, associates told a US newspaper on Friday.

The sources said his latest album "Encore" was also likely to be his last before Eminem starts a new career as a music producer, the Detroit Free Press newspaper reported

i'm sure he'll still throw down a rap here and there like dre does

no hes not. he gets lucky every now and then. 90% of his new beats are terrible. i coukld make them on reason in like five minutes.

he definitly came up with some good tunes and he sure knew how to work the media and publicity to his benefit. seems like a smart guy. i'm sure we haven't seen the last of him.

No you coudnt.

I can't take eminem as a emcee anymore. His first cds were alright mainly the infinite ep and slim shady lp. Hes just so goofy now.

if its true ill be pretty dissapointed that encore was his last album....it had 2-3 tracks worth listening to....the rest was straight garbagio

Bevvy Swift · #8 (**permalink**) Jul 19, 05

his beats suck man. the odd one is funky and fun, but a good 90% percent of them sound exactly the same, like crap. eminems washed up. finally.

your just saying that cos you like to sniff eminems manthong.

i didnt bash eminem to piss all you emlovers off. i just dont like any of his new shit. period. end of discussion.

Goodfellow · #12 (**permalink**) Jul 19, 05

i don't think anyone realizes how insanely talented eminem is at rapping over the years. have you heard his 100s of freestyles? his old stuff? old battles? hes a genious its plain and simple. hes also a very talented beat maker. everyone just listens to a garbage mainstream song of his here and there and think they know what he's like?? it kinda sucks that his crappy songs seem to make it to mainstream, but the good ones are generally too explicit and whatnot

maybe you forgot, but people can have different opinions, especially when it comes to music. it doesn't make them an idiot because they don't agree with you about a certain musician.

uhhh that's the same thing. you think he's insanely talented and they think he sucks...i call that a difference of opinion.

Goodfellow · #17 (**permalink**) Jul 19, 05

no no. a person can either suck, or be very talented. that's not an opinion, that's a fact. whether you realize it or not, is where the opinion comes in.

if you rapped you'd understand the immense talent

He might be insanly talented, but he's not made a SOLID album since the slim shady LP. (period) All of Eminems music since then became somewhat of a rapping tabloid, with cheezy references to his celebritism.

Eminem's good skill is compromised by his lack of GOOD content. Mocking Bird has to be one of his worst tracks -- that tune alone is like a summary of his last 2 albums (STFU about Hailey, your wife, your mom, valiums.... It's been done... move on!) And why does Eminem feel the need to sing the chorus to mocking bird? straight lolz!

Ass Like that is complete non-sense too. Why in the world do stupid skids think a white man rapping in an arabic accent is entertaining.. that shit is beyond me.

I'll be glad when Eminem stops rapping. It'll be the end of this crappy era, of overhyped, commericial garbage.

actually a person can be talented and suck at the same time. art is always in the eye of the beholder and it's exactly the same with music. opinion is not realizing whether a person is talented or not...opinion is whether you believe them to be talented or not. i don't think there is such a thing as 'fact' when it comes to art.

for example, i could read a book and think it was great and the writer was really talented and someone else could read the same book and say that it was bad and the writer wasn't very talented. both would be valid and both would be right. there isn't a right and wrong with art, music included.

you think that eminem is a talented artist, but someone else who listens to rap music could think that he wasn't very talented and wasn't good. both are right because both are opinions...art is all subjective, that's what makes it art.

I believe it. It's a shame tho, he was too big too fast. Still DAMN, what a show. Anyone seen up in smoke?

Gusto · #21 (**permalink**) Jul 19, 05

so to summarize for goodflow:

ppcock · #22 (**permalink**) Jul 19, 05

dre and eminem both use reason.

Oh please. That era is over, good rap is dead. Eminem isn't the end of bad rap, he's the pioneer! That's why you have to love his style being some of the ground floor of the next era, it's the artists to follow that will be recycled.

lets look at rap skill for a second.

i could pick out many many songs he tears apart, but lets take monkey see monkey do for example.. he raps a 2 minute verse, rhyming "Aye" and "uh" like syllables

ending with hate guts, say much, paintbrush, brain does, plain nuts, dangerous, stakes up , takes nuts, eight trucks, may just, aint tough, gangstas, aint drugs, etc etc etc.. there's VERY few rappers who can come remotely close to puttin verses together like that .. there are a few rappers out there who are simply in a diff category of skill and talent.. it has nothing to do with opinion !

I'm not sure that was the best example considering those arent complete sentences?
