    They are both classic albums, imo The Eminem Show feels more solid for me as a whole.. but the highs on MMLP are higher and they are f---ing classics like k--- You, Stan, TRSS, The Way I Am, Im Back, Marshall Mathers, Criminal

    Therefore MMLP takes it for me

    You from The Netherlands? How when he is from there too? You actually seem to be gettin' attention from the ladies (Or fellas. Whatever your personal preference.) He seems like something most people wouldn't want to touch with a 10-Foot Pole.

    Going from walk on water to believe on Revival during my 1st listen... man hopped on a trap beat for the first time... came with two whole new flows at the beginning of the song.... My inner Stan thought he was about to k--- it and drop his best work ever after just going downhill since MMLP2

    'Nother day in the life (Uh)
    Used to have to scrape to get by (Yeah)
    Now my community's gated and I
    Made it and my neighbors say hi (Say hi)

    I'm givin' 'em pounds, I'm upscale now
    Guess it means I'm way in the sky (Way in the sky)

    Edit: I really have to stress how amazing that first verse felt, but after he went to the second bar below... the tone of his voice with that beat.... man that moment was legendary to hear Em pull it off...
    But I still remember the days of
    Minimum wage for general labor
    Welfare recipient since a minor
    Look how government assistance has made ya!

    I’m going with MMLP. Both are f---in amazing but I prefer MMLP. More nostalgia with that one too.

    Looking at them objectively they are both overrated albums and honestly teeter on being considered “bad” imo. MMLP hasn’t aged well at all. It’s way over the top and actually pretty cheesy. Yelling fa---- and all these other homophobic slurs sounds terrible in 2019. The sequel is much much better. It definitely crosses boundaries in a good way with Rick Rubin producing some stellar rock/rap beats. Overall MMLP: 3/10
    MMLP2: 9/10

    TES was trying too hard to be a pop album at the time and still hasn’t aged well but better than MMLP. Dre was all over the place with his production on this. Definitely his weakest project. Em uses his daughter in an inappropriate way on this album and it’s always rubbed me the wrong way. Best songs are When the Music Stops and Drips. 4/10.

    Wish he would cut wont back down and 3 am from the setlist. He should perform Not Afraid but he could move it to earlier in the setlist and do another one right before Lose Yourself. Lose Yourself should be last, it should never change

    I wish he released another concert DVD. Especially now his concerts are cool visually! I love his tracksuit look. But I wish he performed more songs from MMLP2 and Kamikaze.

    A lot of people has mentioned it, or at least the song as a whole but to be more specific, my favorite moment or smt that stands out to me was the moment when Em spitted this bar:

    And here's your Bronco hat, you can have that s--- back, cus they s---!

    I know EXACTLY where i was when i heard that for the first time. Every bar that led up to that one was just perfectly written, he got everyone confused thinking it was somekind of relapse serial killer track but then the third verse gave all small hints of it being... maybe it is.. and then BOOM
    Holy s--- its Stan 2

    And then ofcourse the 4th verse came, great moment as well.

    Also i know a lot of us, including me, doesnt hold the song in such high regard now but when Eminem made an apology song to his mom...
    We did share tears then on sl, yall cant hide that.

    I would say closing with Underground would get everyone hyped.
