    You're one of the only reasonable people I've met on this site.

    I'm telling you this from the perspective of someone who's favorite Eminem album is Relapse, and as someone who had a gigantic stan phase awhile back and is likely older than you and has heard the albums more.

    It's not SSLP2. It's just not.

    I can see how on the surface, with a passing glance at both albums you could say that, but looking deeper into the albums (lel @ doing this with an Eminem album), they're very different in approach, execution and sound.

    Of the 3 top Eminem albums it's definitely aged the worst. Felt that way for a while.

    SDGAF still one of my favourite Eminem songs though

    Also on topic of SSLP, Ik people love to hold up 97 B&C as a great song on there, but is it just me, or was Just The Two Of Us always the better version of the song?

    Listening to My Name Is right now, definitely a great introduction at the time of the release, now listening to it when we know what his name is all these years, it's like alright we get it. That song seems like it should be like a one time listen.

    idgi it's conflating things that irritate you personally with objective statements, in order to remove value from something. discrediting.

    ijs usually I'm down to hear whatever you have to say but not when it's that.

    I had a bigger Stan phase, am a bigger Stan, and I highly doubt you've heard the albums more than me. Passing glance? I've heard them MFers over and over again, dissecting all the lyrics, which Is a very reasonable thing to do, a------, since he's a Top 3 lyricist of all time.

    Don't you just hate when you ask someone a question and they don't give you a straight answer?

    This doesn't work in your favor
    Considering how many more years than you I've had on this earth to listen to them, I doubt it.
    Congratulations? So have hundreds of thousands of other people. Want a medal?
    a) it's obsessive and weird
    b) he's not

    1) It does work in my favor
    2) I love how you keep bragging about being old
    3) f--- you, c---------
    4) Not obsessive and weird, most normal rap fams pay attention to lyrics and what they mean. If you don't, go listen to Taylor Swift
    5) Who's the top 3 lyricists, then?

    The Mandalorian This is the way

    "With objective ears" Dude i do agree that SSLP aged the worst among his first three, but there is no such thing as "objective ears". Everyone feels their own way and many still love it, highly subjective. Do not impose your opinions on others by terming them "objective" lol, I agree with your opinion but disagree that it is objective

    There kinda is. If everyone agrees something is a classic its pretty much confirmed. You gonna try to tell me Illmatic isn't a classic. With that being said if you think Relapse is SSLP2 you're just r-----ed.

    even something like illmatic is ultimately divisive tho, especially as more time passes

    yeah not really, if something is a critical success and changes the culture forever I think its a classic. I'd say finally rich is a classic as well.
