Eminem Speaks On "The Voice," Responds To Nick Cannon

by Jokesta on May 18th, 2009

http://media.defsounds.com/uploads/assets/1027/1063/15865/asset.jpgMany fans of Detroit MC Eminem have been doubtful about his new sound largely in part due to the rappers voice.

In a recent interview with Tim Westwood, Eminem says that he really doesn't know what the voice is about and that he is just having fun experimenting.

"I think I slip in and out of accents--I don't know if its consciously or subconsciously, I slip in and out of em on the record. There's a few different ones and I haven't exactly tapped into what it is--if you had to define it," Em tells Westwood.

"I know I like taking words and tryna bend em. I think I've been bored with the English language as of late. I guess I wanna see how far I can bend it," he continues.

You can listen to his response below:

Em also responded to Nick Cannon's blog saying "With the song Bagpipes From Baghdad, there's a line on there that's a little harsh."

"I had no idea he was going take it like he took it. I had no idea Nick Cannon was gonna start wildin' out on me...no pun intended."

"He's supposed to defend his wife, I expected him to do that. But at the end of the day, it's a line I said, it's a song..what I actually meant to say was 'I wish them the best.'"

This album shows why Em could never be on Hova level… Em starting to get played out with all that homo shit he saying… But he still got mad influence, cuz he made it cool for niggas to act gay(look at that gay ass comment above me)… The point I was making about hov is that his style never gets played out.. Em shit is starting to get wack.

But still it’s a good album so imma still cop it… It’s gonna sell about 645,000 first week.

Seems to me Eminem pulled a bitch move and you dissing Nick Cannon. And I quote ""He’s supposed to defend his wife, I expected him to do that. But at the end of the day, it’s a line I said, it’s a song..what I actually meant to say was ‘I wish them the best.’"

D123940…I actually thought it was quite the classy move on Em’s part (here me out).

I read and hear these interviews by Em and he seems to have a matured scope to life (the drugs…the disdain for guns…actually propping the efforts of newer rap cats)…

It really makes me question who is pulling the strings with this latest album…but then again, I think 50 cent is very smart but he keeps making moron music…so fuck.

i think in his own twisted way of rapping, he really did mean it as “i wish you two the best”. he just said it in a fucked up way, but how else would you expect Em to say it?

hopefully this shuts a lot of people up..whoever HASNT heard relapse already..should know by now, that the voice doesnt mean em has lost it..

listen to underground, he still has it..he’s doing what he wants to do..makin music how he wants to, and keeping his loyal fans..aint nothin wrong with that anyway..he’s his own man, who gives a fuck if his singles dont do well

COP IT!

Fuck Nick Cannon (cough) But yea yo Em’s album is pretty sick. Especially since he had a whole 3-4 year hiatus and still deliver potent quality in his music. That bonus track “Careful What You Wish For” is one of his best. I like the way he describes his career albums based on how they’re reviewed and shit.

Quote:
“you either loved it or hate it,
every cd critics gave it the 3,
and then 3 years later they’re gone back and re-rate it
they called the slim shady LP the greatest,
the marshall mathers was a classic,
the eminem show was fantastic
but encore just didn’t have the calibre to match it,
I guess enough time just ain’t passed yet
a couple of more years that shit would’ve been ILLMATIC

Eminem gonna slaughter this day time T.V. clown…
what he should really do is smash with Christina Milian, have a little mixed baby and name it nicky… that would take Cannon straight back to the “drumline” and an inevitable suicide.

God the acts on this site are getting old. If you don’t like Eminem, cool. He ain’t for everyone and he’s the first to admit it. Many people still like him and don’t give two fucks about what you have to say on the matter, so piss off back to the plague ridden gutter you spawned from.

All you’re doing is making yourself look like an uneducated infant who’s only purpose in life is to enable caps lock and cruise your way through a nonsensical broken English paragraph about how and why you think Eminem sucks.

What the hell is Em talking about? Bored with the English language? Damn dude just rap, that’s all we want you to do. No experimenting, no getting bored, just rap. That said, He is still the man and everyone will still buy the album so no sweat.

raise up your right dude. he talks about switchin his flow up and dumbing down cuz he did 5 mil in the track moment of clarity. makes sense. this shit is just like commons album electric circus, it is experimenting. Em has torn up track and spit pure venom on the fucking mic since his first single. I like the fact that he is back in the lab layin out tracks, even with the new accent. his shit is still more raw and lyrically it stand on its own, em just cannot be fucked with. nicky cannon will get over this bullshit, and em knows not too waste his time with his punk ass. nick cannon is a fucking punch line in dave chapelle skits, em, is the great white american hope. top 5 mc, he doesnt need to fuck around with mariah and her wife nick cannon. move on!
but for real, i i am fucking pumped for what em is going to come out with on relapse 2.
