    I'm sure you've posted this before, but I'm curious as to your ratings for SSLP, MMLP and TES? and Encore?

    My Dad's Gone Crazy's third verse works because of the first two. One of Eminem's best songs ever.

    Depends on how define classic.

    For me, looking back on it, I would say it's a classic, but not the classiest of classics. MMLP holds that (since we're strictly talking Eminem here)

    Sorry but SWYS & Obie's verse puts a small dent in the TES.

    It is a classic. People are now just letting all the modern day hate now influence their opinion of some of his older s---.

    I do think The Eminem Show is a classic

    When i think Eminem, I think TES. To me that's what an Eminem album should sound like

    Unique sound. In his prime. Most of the production made by him. Can't get better than that.

    s---, that album spawned some of the biggest, best songs of his career.

    Sing For The Moment, Till I Collapse...

    not to mention Say Goodbye Hollywood, White America, Soldier, Halie's Song etc..etc...The whole thing is just great,

    In terms of the general hip-hop canon, it's definitely a classic. For me personally? A few years ago, I would have said absolutely yes. I still think MMLP and SSLP are classics...but TES has become less and less listenable to me as the years have gone on, though it does have a few of the best songs he's ever made.
