Yea he always kinda does that tho doesn't he ?

Anyway to your point about the beats working for what he's doing - that's kind of exactly my point. Sure, these beats give room for Em to spit but the beats are still boring IMO for the most part. Like in his heyday, even on his "diss songs" and/or straight spitting songs, the beats were strong and interesting, while still giving him room to flex. I'm thinking of "The Sauce" and that type of song.

Yea again that's fine. I just wish the beats had more variety.
