Can an artist mature as a person and make worse music,or lose their fan base as a result?

pic related,in his prime seemed to be making music for 13 year olds. When he tries to be more personal or ambitious, it's pretty much universally disliked

Eminem is the Dustin Diamond of rap.

what, a prick?

>he makes music for 13 year olds
Ooo edgy post OP you sure do sound like a 13 yo

Because the 13 year olds that thought he was cool back then grew up and realize he's shit

I just mean that even at his best eminem's lyrics were flawed by a kind of juvenile anger, ridiculous depictions of violence, ect ect. Comparitively his new track should be a welcome evolution, but it ends up being a joke

t. 13 year old

Eminem in his prime was really self consciouslessly immature, but idk if I would say he's "making music for 13 year olds," per se. I still find a lot of his old music a pretty fun and entertaining listen, and honestly, a lot of his flows were fucking great. It just turns out that "recovering drug addict Eminem" doesn't make music with the same entertainment value as "constantly high angsty Eminem"

He's shit now because of that awkward off-beat flow he does in every song. He lost it. He should get back to drugs.

it can happen. some fans just want to typecast their favorite artists into one genre. that can be detrimental too because then the act can get old. so its best for the artist to struggle for a bit to try to find their new sound for a bit to make sure they don't get locked as an artist who can only do one thing.
