It isn’t that crazy in all honesty. There are some great tracks on those 3 albums that I still listen to today such as:
Remember Me
White America
Rock Bottom
Role model
As the world turns
Till I collapse
b---- please 2
Criminal
My dads gone crazy

The problem is the albums haven’t aged well imo. The shock bars are outdated and honestly kind of gross. Guilty conscience is f----- up. Crazy to think I used to find that song “funny” or “great.” It’s not so much that the music changed, but I have. I have adapted with the times.

At the time the production sounded fresh and some tracks still do, but the Dre production is stale. Maybe it’s because it’s 20+ years old and I’m used to modern production. People look at these albums with rose tinted glasses. They have lots of filler like today’s albums and the features are worse back then than they are today. D12 was god awful let’s be honest. Beyoncé, Royce, Black Thought, Pink, Ed Sharon, are all examples of bigger and better artists to collab with.

No one wants to hear about f---ing your mom, r---, the word fa----, murder, incest, etc in 2024. We also have songs like Soldier where the wannabe gangster and production is so cringe I can’t even start the song. Em isn’t hard and never has been. He is more in touch with himself these days.

Relapse was dope (minus a few tracks) because it was a concept album that he stuck to, and didn’t actually take himself seriously. The production and accents have held up incredibly well. The mixing and mastering on that album is also incredible. Just pure fun nonsense.

He could be more introspective from time to time in his early days and that’s why I don’t get why people don’t enjoy Revival. We literally got a first person look into his life, family, and relationships.

I hope that helps you understand my mindset a bit better. I am not an idiot, and can see why those first 3 albums are so greatly hailed. They just ain’t for me anymore. In 2008 I thought they were the holy grail, but I believe he has surpassed those albums ten fold. Funny thing is, Em probably agrees.

What does he have in his bag Bruh?? A bag of Viagra??

btw I’m sure the chorus originally went ”abra abra cadabra, I go hard like viagra ” but thankfully someone called it out for being corny.

I def. agree about things like people having very rose tinted glasses when it comes to the first 3, especially first 2 which on which he was pretty juvenile and how cool it is getting an intro-perspective from him on Revival - I'm pretty disappointed in people still hating it but maybe it's just too mature for the average fan.

I think my top 3 would be almost the same as yours, just with TES in the place of Revival, and Relapse ahead of MMLP2 because the production is just so much better and more consistent there. Just IMO a lot of the complains about his earlier work don't really apply to TES when it has more mature Em than Encore, MTBMB or Kamikaze for example, and generally touches a lot of subjects Revival touched.

h--- take Solider, a pretty overrated track but he's talking about the media perception and not actually being a gangsta, so it's not thaaat bad.

Just relistened to MMLP2 for the first time in quite some time and I may have overhated this album, just a couple of horrendous songs that negatively influence my perception of it. This collection of songs is incredible and has some of his highest rapping performances:

Buying 6 CDs for a new album is what is considered being a collector these days haha. Nah, brev. It’s just you being an adolescent kid with high functioning autism. Come back to me when you have the original cassette for Infinite or SSEP.

It's not his voice it's his f---ing flow. He doesn't let the words hang like the old days. In some songs he does. His hooks are all from the old days even with modern voice so it's the flow.

It's crazy to think that it wasn't until Eminem met Ed Sheeran that the ginger jokes started appearing in his songs. I bet he shook his hand then ran away to scribble ginger jokes on his notepad

Is that little recording of him and his daughter recreated or actual audio of his pre-overdose on Somebody Save Me? You never know if his house had monitoring everywhere. I mean he recorded Mariah and has countless audio from even back in the day of his kids.
