1. The Slim Shady LP
2. The Marshall Mathers LP
3. The Eminem Show

The reason is because I'm not a fan of Eminem's shtick, the one that has grown over the years. I don't like his screaming. I don't like his redundancies. He is an amazing talent, and he used it to make himself arguably the most important (note: not best) rapper ever (note: importance going beyond rap culture). But the further he pushed his own personality beyond the standards of rap, the less I liked him.

"Rock Bottom" and "Brain Damage" are my favorite Eminem. But that version was only going to be able to last for a little while. He built himself into a megastar, the highest-selling rapper ever by eight miles. That's great and smart, but I never liked his music more than his first full album.
