Looking back, why Didn't Eminem Drop a Classic album?

[Lab Baby]

The Cool>>>>>>>FNL, for the record

It's funny that threads like this is the reason Em made Til I Collapse. Cats sleep on him way too much and write him off as some goofy white boy. If you don't hear him spit a tooth out on that song, and anything else he put out at that point, you need your ears checked. Lesser MCs have put out so called classics, and Em can rap circles around most of them, especially Lupe. Yeah, you got dudes like Canibus and Cassidy that can spit and put out subpar albums, but they haven't made anything that mattered. I'm not gonna write a titangraph on what Em does differently and what cats took from him, but if you can't see that yourself, well that's your opinion, but it's blinding you to the fact that Em has classic material.

He has ALOT of classic songs and material. And he was(before he fell off) a great rapper. But he never out it all together on one album IMO.

He has a bunch of 4 mic albums. And there's alot of lesser emcees technicality at youcan make the case have superior Catalogues to eminem.

Oh and Em can't outraP lupe, but that's a whole other thread

If he wouldve took

MMLP lyricism and took some subject matter from Eminem show, he had have a classic IMO

That and shave off the skits

 

[lamontbdc]

i thought em show and mmlp were both dope but i can't call them classic. and it's all about the music he just has those 2/3 cornball songs

My thing is... it's all opinion. You say 4 mic albums, but what's holding MMLP and Em Show back from that extra mic? I heard people say TM101 was a classic, when I couldn't even listen to half the album (again, not in the mood for titangraph explanations why). I can nitpick at most of these so called classic albums and wittle them down to 4 mic albums. Again, it's all preference, but it's not concrete enough to say MMLP and TES, two highly respected albums, aren't classics cuz of your opinion.

Ems albums shit on TM101.

Just the corny songs and extra skits. If you made the MMLP 13 songs it wouldve been a classic.

Overall they're good to great albums, but replay value is one of the reasons they wouldnt get the extra mic.

classic skit !!

Respect. I mean, I feel where you're coming from. I can honestly say I don't know why The Fix was a classic. Aside from the Kanye joints, I wasn't feelin the beats, and I didn't replay it that much. But again, that's me nitpicking. I'm well aware that The Fix is a universal classic, and I can't take that away from him just because I didn't like it. If you feel that way about MMLP, you have a legit case.

How is this a minority opinion? Your actin like I said he sucked. This is a discussion in a forum

Alot of great rappers dont have a classic album

Camron,Jadakiss,Big L, Ludacris etc

Ay bro, you one of my favorite posters, but you got to stop stating your opinion like its a fact.

You opinion doesnt count more than anyone elses.

I think the MMLP is a classic. Your favorite rapper thinks the same thing

A rapper is allowed to make mess around songs in his basement. This wasnt even supposed to be released.

.................

Hell no, Eminem doesn't have an album that is better than any Jeezy album.

Fact

But this awful, I don't even know any other rapper who's made something this bad.

I was so close to deleting my entire rap collection and just abandoning this genre after hearing these 3 awful songs.

Lol I feel you bro.

These days even the half ass wack shit a rapper casually makes in his private studio gets released to the masses. Sad but true.
