cool, good job! not sure you're using "deterrent" correctly but it's in the ballpark.

eminem was incredibly skilled at rhyming words. for a brief time, he was also really funny. furthermore, at his best, he could do pretty crushing personal stuff, at least in small doses. but it didn't translate into that much great music. the first two albums show a tremendous amount of skill; neither is a masterpiece. then he got really corny and forgot how to rap and/or make songs. even at his best, there are entire songs where he loses the plot so to speak and isn't really worth indulging. i'm thinking of the way i am in particular on that last point.

if i were reviewing the albums this year, it'd be something like:

sslp and mmlp: 7.5
eminem show: 6.8
encore: 5.0
relapse: 5.5
recovery: 2.0
mmlp2: 4.5

am i forgetting anything?

This thread/these posts are bad bait tho

last verse of "Evil Twin" (and the song in general)
3rd verse on "Love Game"
3rd verse on "Rap God"
"Groundhog Day" >>>> in general, like a modern day Rabbit Run
"Baby" is dope as f---


again dog, you're delusional if you think that one verse on f---ing "Never Enough" s----s on the entirety of MMLP2 .

I'm only vulnerable when I got a boner? The Sarah Marshall line, crab up his a---, cop p---/dropped corn, sever my weiner? Do I need to keep going? This is MMLP-level lyricism to you?

I don't see how anybody can think MMLP2 is not his worst album.

Bad Guy- Cloggin toilets backin s--- up

Rhyme or Reason- Talking in that Star Trek voice

So Much Better- Oink Oink Oink Doink Doink Doink

Legacy- Whole 3rd verse

Survival- Entire song

a------- Gaping a------

Berzerk- Sadly the best song on the album but he's still talking about toe jam and God knows what on that second verse. Oh,not to mention a Ren and Stimpy reference in 2013.

Rap God- Another okay song but there's that whole "Gay looking boy" bit

Brainless- He's a pain in the anus

Stronger Than I Was- LMAO. Come on.

The Monster- Yo Da Le He Hooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So Far.... LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Love Game- Off the top of my head I can't remember any blatantly embarrassing lines but still an otherwise MEH song all the way around

Headlight- He's talking about his Mom and out of nowhere starts rambling about dressing up as Santa Clause and climbing down chimneys.

Evil Twin- Again no really embarrassing lines but is it anything more than MEH??? No.

d--- near every song on this piece of s--- had an embarrassing, cringe-worthy line. Not a single redeeming thing on this album.

Encore had Like Toy Soldiers, Never Enough(s----s ON THIS ENTIRE ALBUM), Spend Some Time, Encore(the song)

Relapse had My Mom, Deja Vu and h--- even Hello

Recovery had Talking 2 Myself, GTC, Seduction, Spacebound


MMLP2 had NOTHING. What exactly am I missing?

Mockingbird is an amazing song and you should enjoy it like a nice cup of Oreo blizzard from D.Q.

seems like you refuse to give Eminem credit where it's due, especially on MMLP, here's how many of the other popular outlets view it.

In 2006, The Marshall Mathers LP was chosen by Time as one of the 100 greatest albums of all time. That same year, Q ranked it number 85 on a list of the greatest albums of all time, the highest position held by any rap album on the list. The Marshall Mathers LP was also the highest ranked rap album on the National Association of Recording Merchandisers & the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's list of the 200 greatest albums of all time, where it was placed at number 28. It has been named one of the greatest albums of the 2000s decade by Rolling Stone, who ranked it seventh, Complex, who ranked it fourth, and Pitchfork Media, who ranked it 119th.

The Marshall Mathers LP has been ranked as one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time by Rolling Stone, Time, and XXL. Rolling Stone placed the album at number 7 on its list of the best albums of the 2000s. The album was ranked number 244 by Rolling Stone on their list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. In 2010, Rhapsody ranked it number 1 on their "The 10 Best Albums by White Rappers" list.

Finally someone else agrees with me with about Recovery being probably his worst album, or at least the hardest one to listen to.

I dig Evil Twin, but if we're being honest with ourselves it's not even album worthy, let alone MMLP level. would be more suitable as a freestyle or a bonus track

eminem experimenting

recovery is eminem's worst album

 

May 24, 2015

remember when you ignored 95% of my post in response to you? were you too busy having a life?

My knowledge is actually very limited when it comes to music (especially rap) but I don't act like an inbred c---- on a message board <(^_^)>

It's ok that you discovered the f---ing Roots 2 months ago (I'm not talking about em's next album, stans), I was one of the few members that said to not give you s--- because of that, after all we're all here to discuss and find out more music

It's not ok to say that no rapper can come close to eminem, and it's disrespectful and r-----ed to say that f---ing mmlp is among the best records of all time across all genres. You don't even know s--- about rap, and you dare say s--- like this and expect to be taken seriously? f--- off

 

May 24, 2015

lmfao you said TES is one of the best albums across all genres lmfao


lmfao
