Eminem Show was good but it was also where he started to slip, the rap and performance couldn't touch Marshall Mathers, and although I'll credit tracks on TES for having some of his best displays of flow, and for the music being nicer to listen to, the flow in some tracks was pretty gimmicky and the intensity wasn't there as it was with his previous titles.
@Bold - It's part of the reason, nowadays Em just seems to go with the flow instead of giving everything his all and throwing in the passion he has shown previously. I just want him to show what he can really do, and just why he's so well respected. Ever since TES, he has seemingly been working his rap to appeal to others more, and that's holding him back.
