    Eminem doesn’t really have a perfect album for me. I think you could make a pretty convincing argument he was one of the best rappers alive from around 1998-2002, but even his best album from that period has some dog s--- on it.

    Do you think he has any perfect, 10/10 album? What would that be for you?

    If he doesn’t, re-sequence one to make it a classic.

    I think mmlp is the best album he's put out. It was a game changer for em because he kept his shady side but let everyone see he could be a serious artist. TES is a close second though, imo.

    This is a tough choice because all his albums are classics in their respective right. I think I can speak for all rap connoisseurs when I say all of Em's albums were definitive in one way or another.

    TES has Say What You Say and Drips.

    MMLP has under the influence and that
    One bizarre verse on amityville

    Hard to pick which I like better tbh

    Hmm, I used to like TES the best and have MMLP and SSLP tied behind it.
    Now that I'm not 15 anymore, TES' emotional side doesn't seem quite as powerful.
    It's brand of humor also seems to be a primer for Encore.

    I'd say it's the opposite now, but at this stage in my life it's like ranking the best Adam Sandler movies or something.
    A lot of the perspective I once had doesn't apply anymore and I'm not motivated to form a new one.

    I really like Recovery too except for 25 to Life, So Bad and Rihanna on that hook. Im not comparing Recovery to MMLP, or TES. I'm just saying

    So three consecutively great, arguably classic albums in a row aren't enough to put him at that spot?

    So you're saying Encore is the reason why everybody praises him like they do?
