    He'll probably release an album at 50 at this point.

    I don't quite agree with Koolo's album rankings but holy s--- @ arguably having 4 albums worse than Encore. Man that's not easy to pull off.

    I think half those songs s---, and the other half are just decent.

    But oh well, I don't even really care for prime Em anymore other than a couple times a year, I basically never listen to him at this point.

    Idk how you can rank believe and arose that high. Believe did have some high points I enjoyed but then he suddenly went off beat again mumbling words together. Then talking about turds.

    I enjoy castle more than arose, but I could see how die hard eminem fans enjoy arose and believe. The album was a complete piece of
    s--- overall. I mean it was worse than I even expected it to be.

    And this was the first eminem album that there was no hype other than the leak day. Once the majority of people listened to the album it went irrelevant quick. If it was a better album, it definitely would have made this forum more active. I actually feel bad for eminem with this album because he truly believed people were going to be blasting that “black boy black boy” anti cop song. Eminem needs to go back to relapse style but rap about normal, updated s---. Be cocky. His flow was on point and now he just can’t rap or ride a beat.

    I was mowing the lawn the other day and tried giving revival another listen and holy h--- I didn’t realize how bad it really was until then. That offended song was straight embarrassing and damaged his career wtf was his camp thinking letting that track on the album. Castle is a good song, however it’s basically the same s--- he said about hailey and his issues on previous albums and it just got stale after a few listens. Still think the majority of the song was made back in 09-08.

    let's be honest: the problem is he has nothing left to say. He just hops on trends/topics (black lives matter for example) that seem to work for other rappers and hopes it works for him too.

    And river could have been a world wide number one hit, if it wasn’t for Eminem’s s-----y verses. Ed’s hook was amazing and sunk you into the song but then Eminem’s choppy flow then resorting to “ex-lax” like it’s so clever of a line ruined the song quick. Maybe they should have chose a different beat idk. Em just couldn’t rap or ride the beat to make it listenable. I remember trying to force myself to like the song but couldn’t. I’d be so pissed if I was Ed, but he looked up to eminem when younger so it was a nostalgia feeling for him. I wish he would re do river with a new flow and new voice. The song could (should) have been huge.

    Best songs off of Revival

    1. Believe
    2. Arose
    3. In Your Head
    4. Walk on Water
    5. Castle
    6. Framed
    7. Nowhere Fast
    8. Chloraseptic Remix (best verse, but rest of song is meh)
    9. Like Home

    The album has it's points and replay value to me, but some songs just shouldn't be on there. Mainly Need Me, Heat, Tragic Endings, and Offended. If you replaced those 4 songs, with 4 good songs, people would like the album more. But this was like Encore. Encore had a lot of gems, but also had some of his worst songs ever (Big Weenie, My 1st Single, Rain Man, etc.) BUT Encore had more great songs then Revival - (Evil Deeds, Never Enough, Yellow Brick Road, Like Toy Soldiers, Mosh, Spend Some Time, Mockingbird, Encore)...and also We as Americans and Love You More had they not leaked were great too.

    But his best to worst albums.

    Classic Albums: (all either 9/10 or 10/10 albums. These are the 3 fantastic ones.)

    1. Eminem Show
    2. Marshall Mathers LP
    3. Recovery

    Good Albums: (you can arrange these 3 any way - but these are all solid 8/10 albums)

    4. Relapse
    5. Marshall Mathers LP 2
    6. Slim Shady LP

    His Definite 2 that he took a hit on: (all 6/10 or 7/10 probably)
    7. Encore
    8. Revival

    Don’t even put encore in the same category as this piece of s---. Encores worst songs are better than revivals best songs.
