Bags, Few nights ago I had the same thoughts about If I Get Locked Up
Just the pure scheming of that song...changed my outlook on some things technically.
dull boy, I agree about the "listened too many times back in old days to be completely objective".
That being said if I had to make judgements, I'd say MMLP he was a "better rapper" by orders of magnitude, as far as flow&skill level, and to a lesser extent probably rhymes too.
But SSLP was such a gamechanger with a buncha good tracks
MMLP game-changer too, but not in the same 'initial' way
So it's hard to rank those 2..
NOW I say SSLP because of the "importance"
A decade ago I'da said MMLP for sure
Show is good
Square Dance, Bye to Hollywood, Say What U Say are all slept on
Certain, take another close listen to the rhyming in Say What U Say
But I donno if I can put show up with sslp & mmlp
Agreed w/ J and whoever else mentioned My Fault & Drug Ballad as enjoyable listens
Some amazing tracks on all 3 albs and also some duds
I'm sick of a bunch of it no doubt, due to listening too much at work
The newest shit of Em I just can't get into due to his grating voice
If I occasionally get sick of Em & Vinnie Paz's voices (legendz), then I guess I have no chance with my own voice, lols.
Wide Awake on relapse has sik rhyming
