    I'm *cough" thirty-something *cough* and been a fan since My Name Is was in radio rotation. Although I remember enjoying the Off the Wall project a lot more at the time. SSLP became a bit too childish but then MMLP came along and I didn't stop listening to that since day one until TES came out. MMLP was by far my favourite album of his but in recent years I've found that TES has aged better. Nostalgia still wins though.

    MMLP was a classic, TES was fantastic, but Encore just didn't have the caliber to match it

    I'm zonin' off of one joint, stoppin' a limo
    Hopped in the window, shoppin' a demo at gunpoint
    A lyricist without a clue, what year is this?
    f--- a needle, here's a sword, body-pierce with this
    Livin' amok, never givin' a f---
    Give me the keys, I'm drunk, and I've never driven a truck
    But I smoke dope in a cab
    I'll stab you with the sharpest knife I can grab
    Come back the next week and re-open your scab (Yeah!)
    A killer instinct runs in the blood
    Emptyin' full clips and buryin' guns in the mud
    I've calmed down now, I was heavy once into drugs
    I could walk around straight for two months with a buzz
    My brain's gone, my soul's worn, and my spirit is torn
    The rest of my body's still bein' operated on
    I'm ducked the f--- down while I'm writin' this rhyme
    'Cause I'm probably gonna get struck with lightnin' this time

    TES is my favorite but I think MMLP is better.

    I prefer the more mature content from TES, but MMLP was a better album.

    25. Always listened to music since a young kid. But my first full album listen through was probably Limp Bizkit, significant other. It’s like a top 15 ranked rock album by most critic sites. It’s top 5 imo. After was System of a Down- Toxicity. There isn’t a bad song on the album, and every song has deep messages. My cousin gave me the MMLP when I was in elementary, he hated how Eminem
    was always crying about his upbringing and wanted people to pity him. And said he started going the pop route then. But I rank TES below SSLP and MMLP, and probably relapse-refill songs. Because that’s when he started going downhill on TES and went pop rap music. Half the album is talking about his mom and it’s so d--- stale and doesn’t have any replay value to this day.

    Notable albums that I listened to at a young age to help get into music: Limp Bizkit, 3 dollar bill y’all, chocolate starfish and hot dog flavored water. Results may vary.
    SOAD-mezmerize
    Eminem-SSLP
    Slipknot- (1999) album.
    Mindless Self Indulgence- Frankenstein Girls Will Seem Strangely Sexy. If you never heard of this band, YouTube the song I hate jimmy page. Classic to this day. And MSI-If ( @Cyreides you f--- with MSI right? You like some techno sounding rock so they’re a must listen for you)

    Not from an album perse, but directly inbetween...and in the most epic way:

    ...idiotic from the f---ing embryonic sack to the body bag, I'll be back and when i am I'll be at your f---ing throat like chloraseptic!

    That moment when an album full of childish serial killer bs suddenly gave us a very personal and amazing song

    As soneone who didnt keep up with Eminem's oersonal life. I thought relpase was his return to music after encore. I assumed he just got rich and f----- off, but yeah i was listening to relapse like "oh wow he did drugs a lot? ... That is such a sick c---- thing to do!!" and relapse is so sick
