Jan 12, 2016 If his catalog is mediocre doesn't take away that once he was fantastic. He made 3 great albums, surrounded by amazing features/side projects. But you can't ignore the fact that he has been average-bad for more than 10 years. So overal catalog (what the OP says) is not that great. Especially not compared to Kanye, Jay, Nas etc.
Jan 12, 2016 read what i said, I think eminem is mediocre at best. But if I were to be a stan of his first three albums, than the whole disco argument is s---. Dont ignore that bowie/dadrock analogy either, which people like to pretend that they all had gleaming great careers with no turds in their discos, yet are still goats.
Jan 12, 2016 You mean dead f---ing last. Eminem has more TRASH (not bad, not mediocre, straight up TRASH) albums that he has "classics".
Jan 12, 2016 Em has a shot a 1 because the first three, just depends on how much you hate his recent work lol. I think if he stops after recovery he's arguably the top discog based on the strength of the first three but mmlp2 really tipped that scale for me. If k dot continues h--- likely be 1 for me. He has a wow factor I can't find in Kanye. But ye's the top spot right now based on consistency. Gotta put dre in this mix as well. 3 outstanding albums Edit: actually Kanye did wow me one time on the og diamonds from Sierra Leone. How anyone can listen to that then say ye hasn't fallen off drastically is beyond me. That whole verse is just nasty
Jan 12, 2016 Yeah but Em's last studio album is arguably just as good as any of Cole's studio albums. Let's all let that sink in.
Jan 12, 2016 I agree with Koolo's list but might even throw Wayne in before Cole or Drake if we are talking about entire discographies. On an unrelated note, Kanye has the best/most consistent discography in hip hop imo, but I still get the feeling Swish is going to be his worst album to date. If so, it's somehow the Kardashian's fault. I really hope I'm wrong though.
Jan 12, 2016 Comparing discographies of rappers at different stages in their career is dumb. As well as not counting mixtapes. Thug is the youngest person on this list by 4 years btw.
Jan 12, 2016 swish is gonna be so good cant believe we finally has a release date hype is returning slowly but surely
