I got some feelings about homeboy. I'm not gonna write it all here but I'm sure I'll end up speaking on it somewhere one day. All I'll say is that some years ago as we were all coming up, my team and I gave his manager some material and all of the sudden my man was rhyming differently, over rock music, that sort of thing. You gotta know the full history of everything to understand where I'm going with this. On top of it all, I'm a hard nigga to impress and I just feel like, my frustration about where I'm at currently mixed with dude's questionable style leads me to some times really wonder who the fuck is cosigning the kid and why aren't they cosigning me. Whatever though. Truth is I don't think he's terrible on records at all. A couple of my friends do haha. They're probably just being loyal to me though. I recently asked him to do a joint with me and he kinda ignored my question which I thought was corny. I was really just asking for some help despite the way I feel about everything. I guess this is how these beefs come about.

Anyway, I just heard this record he dropped today. The link seemed to be a little faulty so I'm giving it a new one.
I like it, it's chill and as usual Day sounds good money. It's his visual game that's really a problem for me. Download The Engine - The Kid Daytona

How sad is this song? Why is he only rhyming as Triumph The Dog now? So many questions I have.

**Update** Here's a excerpt from the Vibe interview. This explains to me a bit more why he sounds the way he's been on tracks.

In the new issue of Vibe, Em speaks more on his drug usage and music addiction.

" 'My doctor told me those mysterious new pills were methadone, which is used to wean heroin addicts off dope. Had I known it was methadone, I probably wouldn’t have taken it. But as bad as I was back then, I can’t even say 100 percent for sure. My doctor told me the amount of methadone I’d taken was equivalent to shooting up four bags of heroin. Even when they told me I almost died, it didn’t click.' After detoxing, Eminem suffered a knee injury that required surgery, but because of his recent drug abuse, he was not prescribed painkillers. He recalls, 'I started looking around my house to see if I had a stash box of Vicodin…I’m ransacking my house, finally find something in the basement, in a little napkin, seven and a half Vicodin—the big extra strength ones—and a few Valium.' The rapper soon relapsed for the second time and finally admitted to himself he was an addict. 'It never once hit me that drug addiction runs in my family. Now that I understand that I’m an addict, I definitely have compassion for my mother. I get it.' ”

“ 'I wanted to make an overall statement—I’m back. It was a slow process. You gotta remember I hadn’t recorded a song sober in seven years. So it took me awhile to even feel like I could record a song sober…I don’t know the last time I shot a video sober, without drinking or taking anything. It’s been years.” He continues, 'I almost feel like a little kid again with rap. I wanna play around with different flows. If I don’t feel like it’s what I’m fully capable of, if there’s one weak line, I wanna change it. Rap was my drug. It used to get me high and then it stopped getting me high. Then I had to resort to other things to make me feel that…now rap’s getting me high again.'"
