I don't even like No Love really as an entire song, mainly cause Weezy has to jump in like he does on everything and starts it off with a garbage verse. But Em straight bodies his verse. I think he's just as good if not better of a rapper now than he ever was. Those older songs have a special place for me, my favorite Em song is probably Stan. But I still think he just kills everytime and stays creative with his metaphors and wordplay. I can't hate on Enimem, I can't even see how people like James can actually truly believe there's a ton of guys out there more talented than him.

Well, you are talking about his rhyming as opposed to 'making songs' His rhyming is still on spot, but the music has varied. The beats and melody have differed, the people he works with have changed drastically. I would take Dre and Dido over Lil Wayne and Rihanna anyday. I would take him crushing Benzino over singing songs that say 'everybody come take my hand and we'll walk this road together...' IMO, he was living the hard life, and felt the pain and emotion and released it through his pen. That has changed and the music has along with it. Just trying to give you a point of view from someone in
the crowd that wants him to "make songs like he used to." I can relate to having a whore ass baby mom and an opiate addicted mother alot more than I can Love the way you lie.
