Feb 18, 2022 SSLP was original & brought out a few copycats but TES not so much, still a great album no matter what.
Feb 18, 2022 I believe Tom Mac Donald dropped an album today. Maybe Em and Dre didnt want to go up against him
Feb 18, 2022 No it's not according to the critics. Even if they changed their ratings, it's bc hip hop fans thought MMLP is classic. We all know critics don't appreciate Em.
Feb 18, 2022 Relapse production is f---ing godly. I wish Em & Dre would work together again on this capacity, but it seems like a pipe dream at this point.
Feb 18, 2022 Bc they changed it. It wasn't like that when MMLP first came out. Why did they change it ? lol. Not that it matters. Non of them have opinions worth more than ordinary listener. So I don't care. The numbers and general reviews by people would be the certification of a classic. That means at least 3 certified classics and 3-4 albums that are in question...
Feb 18, 2022 Imagine wearing new merch and people walking behind you seeing MTMB and MTMB Side B as two albums thinking you bought some random flea market sh*t.
Feb 18, 2022 They didn’t you just listen to Em’s words & take them as gospel over everyone else’s. He had critics for his controversial offensive content but the majority of music critics praised the album, he was so successful in that time period, unparalleled fame, hosting MTV, performing at award shows & winning awards. It’s all there right in front of you, Google it if you want.
Feb 18, 2022 See what you did there lol. Yes he was successful, famous as f---, very popular, hosted MTV, performed on award shows, won them too. But his albums weren't rates as classics by critics. That's completely different story. Show me an article by 2000 which actually calls Em's MMLP flawless, "classic album". Pointless argument anyway... Even if all critics would call all Em albums classics I'd say they don't matter, bc they don't. They don't get to decide if an album is classic or not. That's just bs. THis is art, not science.
