    With a tracklist looking similar to this?
    1. Lose Yourself- on 8 Mile
    2. The Sauce- recorded in 2002
    3. Stimulate- 8 Mile bonus song
    4. We As Americans- recorded during the 8 mile sessions or directly after
    5. Love You More- same as We As Americans
    6. 8 Mile- on 8 Mile
    7. Rap Game- on 8 Mile
    8. Love Me- on 8 Mile
    9. Spend Some Time- recorded during the 8 Mile sessions (no Stat Quo verse)
    10. Rabbit Run- on 8 Mile
    11. No Apologies- the first 2 verses were written during TES so it's highly likely a version existed by the 8 Mile album

    I'd probably rank his albums as MMLP>8 Mile>TES>SSLP if this were the tracklist

    I think if Devil's Night was a solo project it would be his best.

    GOAT era of Eminem IMO. 8 Mile Road/Run Rabbit Run..god d---. Amazing songs. Amazing flow. That was the same time Sauce/Nail in the Coffin came out..and Soldier and Till I Collapse.

    If he could only rap in that style all the time..f---.

    His voice/attitude was just kinda..thuggish at that time. Which was awesome because he was also getting jacked from lifting and was really respected in the game at that point..and well, feared. He was a bad mother f---er and he knew it. At least on the mic lol

    I hated how the OST had a few Eminem songs and a lot of songs by others. Don't get me wrong it's a great OST, but I wish it were more like 50's Get Rich Or Die Tryin' OST.

    If he made an entire album based around the 8 Mile movie, in the vein of 8 Mile Road and Rabbit Run, it'd be the best thing he would have ever done. But like most of his career... missed opportunity.

    Making an 8 Mile album would have been absolutely GOAT... s---, wish he would have done it. It would have been classic. Wonder what else we'll hear from this era in the future?

    Always had the opinion that 8 Mile + D12 ruined Eminem's potential discography.

    He was working on TES while filming 8 mile he wasnt going to make 2 full albums how is it a missed oppurtunity. Making an album and a movie at the same time isnt enough brehs

    I don't think this is necessarily true at all. All of the songs above share that dark, drugged out production combined with Em's 8 mile voice. Plus I don't really think an Em album "sounding all over the place" is really a new thing. The tracklisting on the MMLP was pretty erratic and it's still probably his greatest work.
