2000 was him at his musical peak. MMLP was when he was at his best, as an all around package. Catchy as f--- songs and melodies, beats which matched this sound perfectly, impeccable live performances, and he had a ton of s--- to rap about in terms of his personal life, his freedom of speech views, and s--- that just pissed him off about society.

But my personal favorite era was 2002-2004 starting with the TES, 8 Mile, 50 signing all the way through until Invasion part 3. It was just so much fun to be a fan during this era cause his music was mostly enjoyable, the whole g unit take over was really fun to witness (plus they released some good music themselves), and the diss tracks and 3 green lantern mixtapes were historic moments. During this 2 year window or whatever it was up until Encore, there was so much material coming out from Aftermath/Shady/G-Unit camps that just shook the whole hip hop scene. I vividly remember how fun it was smoking weed and listening to all the new leaks, diss tracks, and official releases from the whole camp with my friends. It was the most fun time to be a fan IMO.

Having said all that, I still think MMLP is his best solo album ever though.

Edit: Thinking back to when SSLP came out all the way until he shocked the world with how f---ing s-----y Encore was, this dude dominated music and pop culture and put out so much great music, whether solo, freestyles, D12 albums, G Unit, or random features. That 1999-2004 run is just really f---ing incredible. It’s even more incredible in hindsight when you realize this same dude just put out Revival. Smh.
