MMLP2 announced Eminem next album

Music is not a business. A business has been built around music. The business side of things have inspired some broad and universally appealing songs, but it's not true to the craft or the music. When musicians begin making music for universal appeal they become pop artists. It's a bad word, but it's really just a label for someone making music a wide audience can enjoy. Nothing at all wrong with that. It's upsetting, though, when a musician who is so aware of the craft and core of the music he's making ignores 'true' fans to appeal to the masses. Eminem is making music now. He's the soundtrack for sporting events, movie trailers and video games. His problem is that he's still trying to do both. For him personally, it's cool, but it comes off as him trying to be something he isn't anymore. Hip Hop is weird, because it's so new. I don't think people know how to judge aging rappers.
