Eminem's Downfall

Eminem is one of the greatest artist of all time.... That being said, how can such a great artist fall so far. He has come out with more hits and sold more albums than anyone this decade, and yet he sucks now. Eminem is one of my favorite artists, so when I bash him, it's because he has just gotten lazy and so its warranted.
First things first, name an artist that could come out with 5 bad ass albums in less than 4 years, and never waiver in talent. Not to mention he starred in a fantastic movie in that time, and had many side projects with other artists that were awesome as well. Lets go through Em's career and see where the downfall began.
I don't know his early career that well, but I do know Infinite was one hell of an album. Then he hits the scene with the Slim Shady LP which was fucking amazing! Followed by his angriest album the Marshall Mathers LP. Then he comes out with Devil's Night with D 12 and its amazing as well. Just a year later he comes out with the Eminem Show which doesn't get enough credit. The album is more mature than em's previous albums, but just as entertaining and genious. Not only does he release a fantastic album, but he comes out with 8-mile, both a fantastic movie and a great soundtrack, which had his most critically acclaimed single 'Loose Yourself' to date. It didn't look like Eminem could ever produce anything but pure gold, and then Encore happened.
Encore I thought was a genius title for a sequel to the show, and I couldn't wait to listen to the album. Then the single 'Just Loose It' came out and that was the beginning of the end. That single probably ended up being the best track on the album, with Rain Man being a horrible buy funny track. Even D12's second album, World, sucked because of Eminem. The person who once made the band was now dragging it down.
The thing is, Eminem just got lazy. He knew he could produce shit and it would still sell. What a piece of shit. He is a millionaire and so I understand he's not angry anymore, but that doesn't mean it can't be good. The show was not angry but was still bad ass! He just got lazy and greedy, and so I don't feel bad for him in the least bit. He worked his ass off to get where he got and had to go through all sorts of prejudices to get on top, and he throws it all away for greed and laziness. All I can do is shake my heat and wonder why, and now he can only rap with a fucking accent! Relapse would be pretty good if he would rap like the old days, but apparently he is just to lazy to do it. He didn't loose anything, because he still does it periodically like in the last track Underground off of Relapse. So he still has it, he just doesn't want to try, or feels like he doesn't need to because he will still sell albums.
Eminem is still one of my favorite artists of all time, I just hate that he would throw his good name down the drain like that, all because of laziness and greed. Fuck Encore and D12 World!! Relapse is tolerable, but Em needs to get that spark back. He owes it to his fans, but most importantly himself. He worked to damn hard to get where he was back in 2002, and to throw it all away because of laziness just makes me ill.
