    Recovery was definitely his highest point post-hiatus, i think we can see flashes of improvements in some songs but he has to gather it all to one album to say he has really improved

    He flowed so smooth on Same Song and Dance, Deja Vu and Beautiful amongst a couple others on relapse. Voice just rolls over and through the beat seamlessly. He screwed it up by having so little content . Insane, my mom, bagpipes, must be the ganja etc should have been left in the vault. 2 serial killer songs was plenty. The accent helped to ruin most of the album and take away from the timing of the delivery and how smooth it was.

    Delivery of recovery was horrific, I'D HAVE HAD MY a--- HANDED TO ME AND I KNEW IT, stop screaming at me. Again he got it right on a couple songs, some more content to the album but the delivery again shocking. GTC being one of the ones he got the balance on.

    BME was good for what it was. Punchlines were terrible, not unlistenable but not replayable in the slightest the double time delivery s----d too.

    MMLP2, Content was on point for the first time, accent gone, and all together not a bad album. The double time kinda hurt him a lot, so pointless, its not a f---ing race.

    KND was a bit of a shout and chop fest. Seemed to be pretty popular on here though.

    The first 3 albums are held in such high regard that he could release another classic quality album and everyone would disagree and say it s----d. 09-15 is not as bad as everyone else says either.

    He needs better delivery, slightly different sound even when hes sounded slick since comeback and some better beats. Relapse>MMLP2>Recovery>>>>XV>BME

    Three albums are much the same imo, I just ordered them based on which has most tracks I'd still play and by that count relapse is the best although probably has the worst songs of the three as well by a mile. The side projects were okay but not exactly great

    Relapse was his post hiatus peak imo. But it didn't do well commercially so I think the Interscope machine stepped in and started telling him what or what not to do.

    Recovery was his peak after hiatus. I love MMLP2 but it doesn't have that replay value that recovery has. Or even relapse has.

    Kings Never Die is great. I would definitely compare it to some of recoverys good tracks and would put it in perhaps a top 10 since his comeback. Ughngg that second verse >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
