TES was his most mature album IMO... then he does a 180 with Encore. Em always had a knack for introspection, even since Infinite. It's just weird that a dude that can make a song about the trappings of fame making him a reflection of his father can be the same dude two years later making songs about shoving gerbils up his ass. I guess he goes by what he feels and sets the mood of the music accordingly.
This is what bothers me about this song. It sounds like a serious record, but he's talking about rap. Rap is not that serious. You got writer's block, put it down and come back to it later. Niggas is out here gettin shot by police, evicted, going bankrupt, we gettin hit by Katrina level shit every 2 1/2 weeks, bitches is getting raped by niggas that could get them jobs, and space might not even be real. The last thing the real world is worried about is a middle aged rich white man that can't write a rap. So yeah... white people and niggas that don't know better will hear this song and hear a tortured soul spilling his emotions in a way that speaks to a generation of lost poets. I just hear a 5 minute loop of "I'm not gonna be able to top on My Name Is".
