People Are Just Discovering Eminem’s First Ever Song and Can’t Believe How Different He Sounds
People’s voices change over time, and those of musicians are no exception, including that of the rapper Eminem. While his voice is super recognizable, there’s a recording of him doing his first song “Eat It” when he was just 16, and it’s got fans talking. His young voice sounds totally different to the Eminem people know now.
Eminem Sounded Very Different
Eminem dropped his first album eight years after recording “Eat It,” so listening to the song feels kind of like finding celebrity baby pics. The resemblance is there, but it’s not what one expects. Fans flipped out when they heard this early version, saying it was insane how different 1988 Eminem sounds compared to the pro he is today.
Some people said Eminem looked like Easy E, starting a debate about whether it sounded like the rapper of today. The link between his young and grown-up voice is there, but the change over eight years leading up to his first album is huge.
Eminem Will Always Love Music
Eminem, who’s 51 now, has been in the music game for ages. But some fans got all nostalgic thinking about an interview he did when he was 37, where he wondered how long he’d keep rapping. He said he was always going to love hip-hop, but was unsure how much longer he was going to do it. He said he couldn’t really give an answer but was probably going to stop if he felt he couldn’t top his old stuff.
The difference in Eminem’s voice journey, from a kid in 1988 to the pro he is today, shows how an artist gets better over time. Whether he keeps going or not, his impact on hip-hop is huge. Still, fans are out there thinking about how he has changed the hip-hop scene and music industry as a whole and left his mark on it.
