    Ok, after spending the last few hours of my life fapping on the new Em's pictures (https://forum.sectioneighty.com/justice-or-else-10-10-15-new-eminem-pictures.t41075/) (no home though) while listening to his tape from the f---ing 1988 (https://forum.sectioneighty.com/unreleased-eminem-tape-new-jacks-ep-1988.t41024/page-8#post-1074591) i realized maybe its time for a change (i cried a little before my revelation). I guess you can only listen that many times about someone's mother, old wife and toilet habits.
    So, after multiply listenings of all of Eminem's albums and not really listening to any other artist (I mean i haven't listened to a whole album) i want to widen my music horizonts. I will listen to a new album like every week and see where this wild adventure will get me (yes, a little bit bored).
    Starting with Kanye's Graduation and you are free to give me any suggestions about hip hop albums i might enjoy.
    I am free to not listen to you.


    @DrakeSXN
    @EminemSXN
    @KanyeSXN



    P.S. I will post my review of Graduation in like an hour or two. Cheers.

    If you're into Eminem and you're looking for something with a bit of substance I'd suggest any of Vinnie Paz's albums or Jedi Mind Tricks.

    I dunno I'm an Em fan and just thinkin of other s--- I listen too.

    Maybe try Kendrick for current s---. You might like DMX. I cbf listing albums.

    Chad Warden thinks you'd like MF Doom. Chad Daddy recommends Madvillainy, or The Mouse And The Mask.

    If you want to hear the best from Earl and Odd Future, Chad recommends you hit two birds with one stone and listen to the EARL tape.

    Welcome to a whole new world. Filled with music you never thought you'd ever like.

    [​IMG]

    I get being an Eminem stan. We were all there at one point. His first albums are great, but now you need to understand Hip Hop is about just about rapid fire lyrics and homophobic angst. Hip Hop can be fun, grimy, or downright silly.

    Off the top of my head, check these artists out:








    Then watch these Kanye videos in order to understand him a little more:





    Many fans think Graduation is Kanye's worst album. It was definitely his most club/poppy, but still great. Weird Kanye is the best Kanye. Listen to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy & Yeezus and have an open mind.

    Earl is his worst one imo, he really came into his own as a versatile musician in Doris and as a rapper in idlsidgo

    Kanye - Graduation

    [​IMG]

    1. Good Morning - f'n flames. remove the "uh's" at the beginning and it is a 10/10
    2. Champion - 10/10 legendary
    3. Stronger - 9/10
    4. I Wonder - 9/10
    5. Good Life - 9/10
    6. Can't Tell Me Nothing - how he stays faithful in a room full of hoes? Life is a UH depending on how you dress her :adaddsa: 10/10

    7. Barry Bonds - 7/10 those shots at Eminem though
    8. Drunk and Hot Girls - 7/10
    9. Flashing Lights - the first verse :bigquint: 8.5/10
    10. Everything I Am - 10/10
    11. The Glory - 8/10
    12. Homecoming - 10/10
    13. Big Brother - 8/10
    14. Good Night - 7/10
    15. Bittersweet Poetry - 7/10

    whole album 9/10

    Album is fire and really soulful. Definitely very different to what I am used to, but I really like it. Listened to it two days ago and actually have been bumping some of the songs on the regular. First 6 songs are the strongest beginning of an album I have ever heard. Can't wait to listen to his other albums as well.
    If I need to compare it to an Em's album it will be on the same page as TES. Classics.
    Just wish it was a little bit longer.

    thanks to all who are contributing to the thread. At first, I want to listen to some of the more popular rappers nowadays like Kanye, Kendrick, Drake and then I will listen to Jay-Z, Biggie, Pac and Nas.

    @KND If you like Graduation even a little bit, listen to the rest of his discography starting with College Dropout and work your way up. Other artists and my favorite albums from them are Jay Z (Blueprint), J. Cole (2014 FHD or his mixtapes), Drake (everything from So Far Gone to If You're Reading is mostly great), Kendrick (Good Kid Mad City, Section 80), Schoolboy Q (Oxymoron), The Game (The Documentary), and 50 Cent (Get Rich or Die Trying).
