    Was listening to Get Rich earlier today.
    Amazing album.

    It has aged like a fine wine. The best album released during the Shady/Aftermath era.

    The opening 5 songs on Get Rich is a highlight for me.

    While Eminem's first 3 albums are still very good they do sound a bit dated & haven't aged as well since some of it relied on shock value.

    The shady/aftermath albums I feel have aged the best (and the ones I listen to the most) are:
    GRODT
    Documentary
    Eminem Show
    2001
    The production on all 4 of those is what stands out. Strangely enough, if I had to pick another album it would be Cheers. Those beats are amazing.

    I agree.

    Now that I'm 26, Eminem's shtick is borderline cringe worthy, especially on SSLP - I literally can't even listen to a single song on it.
    MMLP is decent
    TES is still good
    Encore is pathetic
    Relapse is a joke and a waste of 18 amazing Dre beats
    Recovery is solid because I'm more in tune to the pop aspect of music now that I'm not a douche and hate on "mainstream" artists
    Listened to MMLP2 once and forgot it existed. s--- was trash lol

    But yeah, I constantly bump GRODT and its still amazing. The first half of the album is almost unmatched in terms of 2000's gangster rap. It kind of falls off near the tail end of the album, but it's still great all together. One of my all time favorites.
    I actually think that The Massacre has aged better than any Eminem album as well. If only he cut it down to like 16 tracks. Album is underrated. (Position of Power is 50's best song FTW!)

    Just because 50 is not a technical rapper doesn't mean he wasn't good.
    His flow back on GRODT was flawless.

    Disagree. GRODT really drops off in quality after I Can't. In fact, other than two tracks, I find the latter half of the album unlistenable.

    2001, MMLP, Eminem Show and The Documentary are all better albums.

    Impossible to disagree. GRODT is a classic album.
