Eminem Eminem was never capable of making an album the caliber of TPAB

    Im sorry but it's true.

    MMLP and TES are classics, but...

    But as good as those albums were at the time, and TES is still one of my favorite all time albums, that said I would love to see someone try to defend how Em can ever or COULD ever make an album as DEEP, as SMART or as DIFFERENT as TPAB. Say what you want about how the album as only been out for less than a day but it's still obvious.

    Em was never about deep or smart stuff, even in his prime. Sure there's a few moments here and there but that's not his strong point and never has been, both have different styles and different content, all depends on what someone likes.

    I'm listening to the album later so I can't really say much on this, but the album hasn't been out long and is already being compared to other albums/artists.

    Eminem & Kendrick are two different MC's with different styles. TPAB, MMLP and TES are 3 completely different albums.

    Not sure if srs or trolling the Eminem community :wow5:

    Why tf does Em always have to be compared to someone with an album that's just released?.. They both have different styles, and they are two different artists.. you can't compare them, at least not in my book. The only thing similar about these two is, they are in the same genre..that's it.

    OP proved why his point is stupid in his own post :'(:'(:'(:'(
    Give this album more time before you over hype it, it's great but still...

    Also as other people are saying, two completely different types of rappers once again making it a stupid point.

    Lyrically Eminem is probably better than Kendrick and he has dope store telling/serious tracks that are also massive hits as well e.g Stan and SFTM.

    Do you think you will be listening to songs from TPAB in 15 years? atm i feel like as just stand alone songs there cool but nothing amazing but the album as a whole is

    yes, he was, but not an album long. only 2 or 3 songs per album

    ppl wanna discuss if someone conquered the best.

    It would be a classic if ppl wouldnt always hate on Em's new stuff. With MMLP2 he created smth that he didn't manage to do w/ Recovery or Relapse: a classic worthy album.
    not saying that it is a classic since it always depends on the people who listen to it, but I wouldn't mind if people would call it a classic

    Everything is classic at first since 2011, still think songs like Bad Guy are great if Drake or Kanye made that kids would be calling them the GOAT even more

    Eminem frustates me his flow. But as u said he is lyrically still great. But isn't making good music due to a number of things.
    I'm still looking forward to his next album even though I didn't like MMLP2.
