Eminem took a hiatus from Hip Hop for a few years but the self proclaimed problem child is back with a new album, “Relapse”. In an XXL interview Em said that he stayed connected to what was happening in the hip hop space and felt it was “"going downhill - kinda fast" with everyone only caring “about the hook and the beat.” He had this to say about T.I and Lil Wayne keeping hip hop afloat:
"But with this new TI album, with this new Lil Wayne album of recent, it seems like things are looking a lot better now. You can appreciate Lil Wayne using different words to rhyme and actually rhyming words that you know. Or TI, where you hear s**t and you're like Whoa, ah, I wish I would have thought of that! You know what I mean? Or you hear all the compound-syllable rhyming and all that. It just seems like now the craft is getting cared about more.”Is Eminem in your top 5 or top 10? Is he really that relevant to speak on whose keeping hip-hop alive while he’s away?
