Voices Of The IC: HOW MANY CLASSICS DOES EMINEM HAVE?

[Question Authority]

3. SSLP, MMLP, and TES.

Say you don't like the content or the subject matter wasn't for you. Fine.

But what each of those albums accomplished commercially and critically cannot be denied.

 

[semi-auto-mato]

em has no true hip hop classics...has some good albums and i'll listen to a argument for mmlp but at the end of the day im gonna shake my head and say no

slim shady lp and eminem show. sslp was very ill but not a classic, and his last 2? just no

To me Eminem has 3 very good albums, which were Slim Shady LP, Marshall Mathers LP, and Eminem Show, Encore and Relapse were average at best albums. I think his first 3 albums fall short of being a classic and imo Em doesn't have that classic that people identify Em with. Jay Z has RD and BP, Nas has Illmatic and Stillmatic, Snoop has Doggystyle, Dre has the Chronic etc. The closet he came to having a classic was with MMLP and it fell short. The stuff he was talking about on that album doesn't resonate today, dissing pop acts that have since then disolved and dissing his mother and wife and talking about all that weird stuff doesn't hold up as much today as it did back then. It has no replay value to me and that's the most important thing for a classic album to have.

The Slim Shady LP

The Marshall Mathers LP

The Eminem Show

Straight classics with The Marshall Mathers LP being one of the best Album's ever

Lose Yourself i think like most people will agree is in the top 5 greatest ever Song's made

Funny you mention Vanilla Ice considering him and Em are both white.

Your bias against Em is sad.

When people make statements like that, it's usually backed by popular opinion.

Lose Yourself was a critically acclaimed, oscar winning song that was successful on the charts.

Yes, it is one of the greatest songs ever made.

How can that even be denied?

 

[illogics]

Oh you meant albums. I didnt read first post.

Yea....so how many you think?

I guess Empire state of mind is a oscar away from being one of the greatest songs ever made.

 

[isayas]

Nah, u are reachin' about "Lose yourself" bein one of the best songs ever made.

 

[ShadyTeam]

One of the best songs ever made?

This is universal thought not just mine

Aside from worldwide thought from the public in the industry it won an Oscar

 

[5th Letter]

Dont get me wrong Lose Yourself was a great song, thats hard to deny but one of the greatest songs ever is a very loooooooooooooooooong reach.

You can't play Eminem in the whip with bitches, you can't play none of his songs in the club, his CD's have no replay value at all, and has too many songs involving homosexual tendencies I will admit flow wise Em is a top 5 MC but he has NO CLASSICS I would say MMLP and The Eminem Show are very good albums but I can't give them a "classic" stamp

illogics, what are you trying to accomplish with this thread?
