I'm saying that because their lyrical ability is on the same level. I can't think of a single new eminem track that is good lyrically. Yes it might be funny, entertaining, have good flow ect but none of it is good lyrically. Are you SURE you know what i mean by lyrical ability? You have to be confused.

like i already said...lyrical ability "internal rhymes, offbeat rhymes, multiple syllable rhyming, alliteration, assonance rhyming, metaphors, wordplay, personification, hyperbole, similies, double entendres" - ring any bells?

forget WHAT he's rapping about. Forget the topic and what he's saying. I'm talking about HOW he's saying it.

Note: i don't think he's "lost" it as such. It's not a set of car keys. Unless he's received heavy brain damage then he still knows how to do it. It's probably due to writers block or choosen not to use it because it's easier and he only cares about the money now.
