The Official Eminem Discussion Thread

[RuffDraft]

the real order is MMLP > SSLP > TES > Relapse > Recovery > Encore

I agree with the first 3... after that I lost interest in Eminem when he dropped Encore. Worst thing I ever bought, not even in terms of CD's. Terrible album.

MMLP was Eminem at his best, still on the crazy lyrics but with an accomplished mic presence and talent that was unmatched at that time.

SSLP was raw Eminem, great production and great storytelling with laugh out rhymes, but it wasn't as accomplished as MMLP to me...

TES was Eminem as a complete emcee, but he started to make some annoyingly dated tracks that became part of his 'formula'. Sure there were some standout tracks (Till I Collapse and Business being some that come to mind), but his overtly funny rhymes had gone away and he'd started to sing.

Encore was terrible with the exception of Toy Soldiers. Then his annoying voice was too much to take.

I think The Eminem Show is the Album of the past decade

I think it's his best Album as far as Content, Emotion/Passion, Lyrically and Production

It's an Album that is flawless IMO

I disagree, MMLP is much more accomplished and even that has flaws to a degree... Amityville and co. But it's his most accomplished release.

It all depends on what you prefer The Slim Shady character that lacks what people call Soul and is pretty childish

Or Eminem that brings Substance, raw Emotion, Personal Content, Passion and Melody with topics based around his life experiences

The eminem show. closely followed by recovery. MMLP is great but no 'classic' album should have a skit about two clowns giving a man head

He got at ICP hard lol

 

[Kame]

sslp imo.....cant get through tes

 

[Rhymesfinest]

smh @ TES only having 2 good songs.

it is easily the best album out of all of them.

the slim shady persona was played out and fake and gay. TES was a real human being rapping, not some shock rapper robot.

Also Eminem was Singing on The Marshall Mathers LP on tracks like 'Kill You' 'Who Knew' 'Marshall Mathers' 'Under The Influence'

But at the same time on both The Slim Shady LP & The Marshall Mathers LP there were Emotional Deep tracks like 'If I Had, Rock Bottom' 'Stan' 'The Way I Am' 'Marshall Mathers' 'Who Knew' etc

But yeah The Eminem Show is just a straight classic and Artistically his best Album both as a Song Writer and as a Producer

I think he can come off as whiny when he's being himself w/o the humour, his emotions and topics of his mom's are drawn out and overplayed (flat out boring). Hailie or however he spells her name is played out as well.

He's always had the passion, substance and content in his rhymes and what makes Eminem... well... Eminem IS his Slim Shady persona, it's something that few can touch him on and his humour is second to none on the first two studio albums following Infinite. The melody that you're referring to is hopefully not his singing voice... which I can't bare, but to each his own :tu

The singing on tracks like Kill You are nothing like the actual singing and attempting to hold notes that he does on his later albums.

Between MMLP and EM show

i'll go with em show some of the MMLP is too out there with the content

Eminem's an awful singer... he makes Kanye look like a good singer

MMLP is my favourite, it's the closest to a classic (well, I'd stretch and say it is one)

[SHAYDEEEE]

so who are ur favorite rappers if you dont think em is talented enough for you? just curious cuz i like almost all good hip hop and i think people try to act like he's not talented just because they have some cultural bias

 

[DarthRozay]

[NickyBarnes6]

Eminem is top 5 GOAT and this is with his last 3 albums being awful

skills, music quality, rhyme ability, flow, albums sold, collaborations, etc. all put him in the top 5

Cause alot of ppl get caught up in Shadyteam's trolling and listen to Hrap and his followers who all post about Em almost as much as Shadyteam does. Ive witnessed dudes saying they were listening to him and believed I was white because of his words lol smh @ followers. Doesnt bother me tho, do what you gotta do.
