    Somehow Momma (that outro) and For Sale grew on me. But i to me just feels like an interlude, and being picky, I don't see the reason why suddenly, he makes a track "live".

    Does anyone here think To p---- a Butterfly is the greatest album of all time? Just wondering, saw some youtube people in the comments section saying it was the GOAT rap album. I think it's better than any Jay Z album or Kanye album, but i just simply cannot put it above illmatic It Was Written The Eminem Show GKMC or GRODT

    because the narrative shows has his character returning home after "making it" and holding a concert in the streets of compton, trying to spread his newfound message of self-love. but he gets overpowered by a restless crowd.

    you should check out Section Eighty's piece on the themes/narrative of TPAB. I really love it (and not just cause I wrote for it :) )

    C'mon man GKMC The Eminem Show and Get Rich are the elite of the elite. Specially by today's standards those 3 albums are better than Reasonable Doubt and The Black Album. And imo better than MBDTF for sure

    'The Eminem Show' was the album that started Eminem's downward spiral into musical mediocrity. I don't think he made another half decent album until Recovery. The Marshall Mathers LP is by far Eminems best album.

    To p---- a Butterfly is the best Hip-Hop album I've heard in years. I would definitely consider it a classic. I can listen to this album from start to finish without skipping one track. Skipping a track on this album is like skipping a scene in a movie.

    not really feeling this album tbh.

    never gave it a true listen but i commute like 40 mins to work and thats the only time i've listened to it so im slightly distracted and I know for kendrick maybe i should just be focusing on his songs to make a judgement but that's just not the kind of time i have anymore :/ oh well. What are the highlights of this album generally?
