Lol now I'm in bizarro world

Oh but hey while ur here with ur selectively odd tastes

U never listened to blu an exile?

Exile beats seem like something u'd be hype about. Never heard u mention them tho

uh-oh · 03-31-2016, 07:37 PM

I checked the one album everyone was hype about years ago and liked some of it. Above the clouds? Does that sound like a thing lol? I remember liking a few but it was just a random record in the rotation not a classic like others were praising it at the time

Ghost1 · 03-31-2016, 07:47 PM

Below the heavens*

Word it's dope

Classic is prolly pushing it tho, agree

I feel like those were all overshadowed by Real Slim Shady, Stan and Way I Am tbh.

I like SSLP more, but MMLP was a phenomenon.

And Infinite was not a good album, idk why anyone insists on putting it in the conversation.

Destroyer · 03-31-2016, 09:08 PM

I put MMLP at #1 just for the title track
it's too dope

Anyone who likes "The Real Slim Shady" more than "My Name Is" ...

Also applies to those songs individually. So yeah, I agree.

Certain · 04-01-2016, 01:03 AM

Nah, "My Name Is" was the phenomenon. Everything else was the gathering moss, with the exceptions of "Stan" and "Lose Yourself," which are the two singles that pushed him into new ears.

Mr. J · 04-01-2016, 01:15 AM

Relapse is probably the only album I can listen to without having to skip anything tbh...

aside from Drug Ballad, Stan & Remember Me I cant get into MMLP like I used to

loved a majority of Em Show because he actually tried stepping away from focusing on Pop acts

My Fault is probably the most memorable track for me from SSLP

oats · 04-01-2016, 02:12 AM

I don't know, I feel like My Name Is got his leg in the door of a mainstream audience, but Real Slim Shady blew up the house. Even if it didn't bring a substantial new audience (which I don't think is true), it validated and catapulted his stardom.

Mr. J · 04-01-2016, 02:15 AM

I always thought Forgot About Dre was what put him onto everyone else...

but Im from the West Coast so idk people still tryna get hyphy & shit talking about Tech N9ne waiting for that new E40 dressing in bell bottoms tryna rap like they on syrup while listening to Gin & Juice talking about going dumb and other shit...stupid...

MMLP · 04-01-2016, 05:13 AM

hmmmm dunno what my fave would be.... ;)

The Eminem Show grabs second spot imho, to keep up that momentum, with all the expectation built around his elevated fame and huge success, he quite simply delivered! Even the novelty sounding songs were well structured and witty!

dull boy · 04-01-2016, 12:40 PM

SSLP feels dated. Like a 90s styled version of a funnier early Earl Sweatshirt. Maybe it's because the style became so copied. Maybe because the style and album became almost taboo to like. It was a more polished Infinite Em with a persona that seemed to take the restraints off of his personality. A younger me loved SSLP and when The Eminem Show dropped I remember thinking he was trending towards a more gangster image, which I associated with the mainstream rap I had condemned for the most part. The ability was still there. The humor. Even the subject matter, but it was all tinted with a more serious persona that I didn't vibe with quiet as much. Relapse felt like a more mature version of SSLP and I laugh at the hilarity of it the same way I laugh reading A Clockwork Orange. His G-Unit/Obie Trice/Source beef years were my least favorite overall, but there's still enjoyable verses sprinkled about that period from him.

MMLP I feel like I've listened to too many times to even rate. It's like that shitty movie you watched 100 times as a kid that you should hate as an adult, but can't get past the nostalgia to accurately judge. Not saying it's shitty, only that I can't rate it accurately. Stan is like some ancient Beatles song you've grown up hearing in elevators, department store speakers and countless car rides. It's too iconic to even listen to normally or as its own track, almost. I feel like the concepts and execution on MMLP were a combination of the height of his ability and just coming off the height of his hunger as an artist. Realizing he had made it, but feverishly working to seize the opportunity.

'Kim' as a first listen song was insane.

2tripple0 · 04-01-2016, 01:07 PM

Lmao nothing gets by you does it like I have never even half heartedly heard any reason not to think the effort made by Eminem to go ahead and record something bigger or more recent that would be quote unquote: dope and hilarious as fuck

dull boy · 04-01-2016, 01:23 PM

2tripple0 · 04-01-2016, 02:05 PM

Unquestionably vindicating this page

fell on my knees
And started to prey

The integration of his pain
Finds my text a bit personal
So I soaked u like cloth
But u broke as a joke and your friends are losers
Ya got mad and gave me a Phrenetic dissonance to his structurr
