    Great f---ing interview. Paul is such a fuckwit. Interviews with Paul in the room are mostly Em saying: "Umm you know what I'm sayin". This was something special, good read.

    Relapse being Em's 3rd best album is a hard vicodin to swallow

    He's not wrong.

    Also Revival is his 9th best album.

    SSLP is way better imo, the only problem is people say it aged badly

    He sounds in a good place.

    I think much of the problem is his circle are very immature Porter & Rosenberg.
    These clowns favourite song was Offended f---ing idiots. Also Rubin & Dre also bring out his goofy side too. He needs to stay away from that.

    My overall opinion on each album summed up quick:

    SSLP - Great rhyming, and some dark awesome songs. Negative is some songs are about nothing and I wasn't a fan of his voice in that first album.
    MMLP - Complete anger, voice change, and so controversial. Pushing so many buttons, and so unique, new, and replay value off the charts. Brilliant album.
    Eminem Show - His best work. Perfect flow, perfect mainstream appeal while still being controversial and making mature songs touching on ALL subject matter.
    Encore - Half the album is excellent, TES style. He also has some fun, almost clubby songs which weren't like him before. The negative were the filler songs - Big Weenie, my 1st single, etc. were some of his worst work ever.
    Relapse - Album had no big hits, and accent got repetitive at times. Album also had not one bad song either, and his rhyming was out of this world.
    Recovery - Eminem rapping on beat again, with great, positive subject matter and tone. A true comeback here. Almost flawless.
    MMLP 2 - Had some great moments, and then had some interesting new songs with Rick Ruben. Not a fan of them collabing though. If he had titled this album something different, it would be regarded slightly better. No way this lives up to MMLP.
    Revival - This reminds me in some ways of Encore because it has some gems. Great radio songs - River, Like Home. Great meaningful songs - Castle, Arose, Walk on Water. It has a little bit of something for everyone, even the psycho killer stuff. But his flow at times is off, some songs are meaningless, and he does more of this Rick Ruben rock stuff which I am yet to meet or hear ONE person that is a fan of this.
    Great career, and great songs outside of solo albums as well.
    My favorite ever.

    SSLP - 8/10
    MMLP - 10/10
    Eminem Show - 10/10
    Encore - 7/10
    Relapse - 8/10
    Recovery - 9/10
    MMLP 2 - 8/10
    Revival - 7/10

    1. TES 2. MMLP 3. Recovery 4. Relapse 5. MMLP 2 6. SSLP 7. Encore 8. Revival

    I just wish he'd try to re-enact Eminem Show best as possible. An album with one or two pop guest hooks, one or two older song samples, one or two love/chick songs, maybe one club b-----r, and the rest of the 10 songs or so just flowing not super fast or anything, just nice and smooth with touching on subject matter (ex. Square Dance, we As Americans, no apologies, deja vu, yellow brick road, going through changes, etc.)
    Glad he's back though!

    I think he is too old to pull off good Slim Shady songs now.
