    MMLP was a classic, TES was fantastic, but Encore just didn't have the caliber to match it

    Why would I care about that?

    What does that have to do with this thread or my comment?

    Bad Guy (no matter how you feel about it now) was sooooo f---ing good to hear. Took a lot balls to do that.

    Parking Lot Skit was dope as f--- at first. Really got me hyped hearing that lol.

    ‘6 minutes slim shady you’re on’ in Rap God was cool too. Nothing major but was cool.

    28.
    Lose Yourself was the first song I heard. But I didn't care much for the artist himself, as I was accustomed to the fact that many musicians has only one good song, one BIG hit,and that's it. I listened mostly to radio then, didn't care much other than that. Then, after some years passed, my sister showed me "Just Lose It" video and I thought it was awesome, and realised that maybe Em had more to offer than just one song from a film. I downloaded Tes and Encore, plus added some other songs (mostly MMLP) and listened to them to death. I was like 16 then? It was like a year before Relapse. When my sister told me Em is putting out another album, I thought it was bs, because I believed he ended his career for good. But Relapse came... And I didn't care much (now I think it is an awesome album). Before Recovery came, I was already hyped though and it was my first CD that I bought. What a disappointment it was! But after that I appreciated Relapse much more.
    I remained a fan to this day. To me every post-relapse album was better than the previous one (Kamikaze > Revival > MMLP2 >>Recovery) , so I don't complain like some other people. I am glad the guy is still active.

    This is a good post. However, I'm surprised to see where you rank Revival.

    Haven’t looked through the whole thread but...

    The verses, chorus and beat of Careful What You Wish For are good.....

    BUT f--- ME, that intro... that was the intro or first song of the album right there. It definitely needed more (but not much) added to it... but Jesus, that could’ve been the perfect return song.

    Intro is incredible. Still get chills hearing it.

    Castle/Arose. Only cuz I consider those songs connected but Arose more so. That song hit me in the feels at the time because my mother was in the hospital & it was so somber, I didn’t listen to it consistently for like a year. So I’ll always have a memory that matters to me attached to the thought of that song.

    And for all the people who say they can’t play Eminem at parties anymore...

    Choose the right song

    This chit still bumps at any party!!!

    #classic

    Guess what?
    I ain't coming in yet
    I'll come in in a minute
    Ayo this is my love song
    It goes like this
    Back when Mark Wahlberg was Marky Mark
    This is how we used to make the party start
    We used to mix hen' with Bacardi Dark
    And when it kicks in you can hardly talk
    And by the sixth gin you gon' probably crawl
    And you'll be sick then and you'll probably barf
    And my prediction is you gon' probably fall
    Either somewhere in the lobby or the hallway wall
    And everything's spinnin'
    You're beginning to think women are swimmin in pink linen
    Again in the sink
    Then in a couple of minutes that bottle of Guinness is finished
    You are now allowed to officially slap b------s
    You have the right to remain violent and start wildin'
    Start a fight with the same guy that was smart eyein' you
    Get in the car and start it and start drivin'
    Over the island and 'cause a 42 car pile up
    Earth calling, pilot to co-pilot
    Looking for life on this planet sir, no sign of it
    All i could see is a bunch of smoke flyin'
    And I'm so high that I might die if I go by it
    Let me out of this place I'm outta place
    I'm in in outter space, I've just vanished without a trace
    I'm going to a pretty place now where the flowers grow
    I'll be back in an hour or so
    'Cause every time I go to try to leave
    Somethin' keeps pullin' on my sleeve
    I dont wanna but I gotta stay
    These drugs really gotta hold on me
    'Cause everytime I try ta tell 'em no
    They won't let me ever let 'em go
    I'm a sucker all I gotta say
    Is drugs really gotta hold on me?
    In third grade all I used to do
    Was sniff glue through a tube and play rubix cube
    Seventeen years later I'm as rude as you
    Schemein on the first chick with the hugest boobs
    I got no game and every face looks the same
    They got no name so i don't need game to play
    I just say whatever I want, to whoever I want
    Whenever i want, wherever I want, however I want
    However I do show some respect to few
    This ecstacy has got me standin' next to you
    Gettin' sentimental as f---, spillin' guts to you
    We just met but I think I'm in love with you
    But you're on it too so you tell me you love me too
    Wake up in the morning like "Yo what the f--- we do?"
    I gotta go b----, you know I got stuff to do
    'Cause if I get caught cheatin' then I'm stuck with you
    But in the long run these drugs are probably gonna catch up sooner or later
    But f--- it I'm on one so let's enjoy
    Let the X destroy your spinal chord
    So it's not a straight line no more
    So we walk around lookin' like some windup dolls
    s--- stickin' out of our backs like a dinosaur
    s--- six hits won't even get me high no more
    So bye for now I'm gonna try to find some more
    'Cause every time I go to try to leave
    Somethin' keeps pullin' on my sleeve
    I dont wanna but I gotta stay
    These drugs really gotta hold on me
    'Cause everytime I try ta tell 'em no
    They won't let me ever let 'em go
    I'm a sucker all I gotta say
    Is drugs really gotta hold on me?
    That's the sound of a bottle when it's hollow
    When you swallow it all
    Wallow and drown in your sorrow
    And tomorrow your probably gonna wanna do it again
    What's a little spinal fluid between you and a friend, screw it
    And what's a little bit of alcohol poisoning?
    And what's a little fight?
    Tomorrow you'll be boys again
    It's your life live it however you wanna
    Marijuana is everywhere, where was you brought up?
    It don't matter as long as you get where you're goin'
    'Cause none of this s---'s gonna mean s--- where we're goin'
    They tell you to stop but you just sit there ignorin'
    Even though you wake up feelin' like s--- every morning
    But your young you got a lot of drugs to do
    Girls to screw, parties to crash, sucks to be you
    If I could take it all back now I wouldn't
    I would've did more s--- that people said that I shouldnt
    But I'm all grown up now and upgraded
    And graduated to better drugs and updated
    But I still gotta a lot of growin' up to do
    I still gotta whole lot of throwin' up to spew
    But when it's all said and done before I know it
    I'll be forty with a forty on the porch tellin' stories
    With a bottle of Jack, two grandkids on my lap
    Babysitting for Hailie, while Hailie's out gettin' smashed
    'Cause every time I go to try to leave
    Somethin' keeps pullin' on my sleeve
    I dont wanna but I gotta stay
    These drugs really gotta hold on me
    Cause everytime I try ta tell 'em no
    They won't let me ever let 'em go
    I'm a sucker all I gotta say
    Is drugs really gotta hold on me?
    'Cause every time I go to try to leave
    Somethin' keeps pullin' on my sleeve
    I dont wanna but I gotta stay
    These drugs really gotta hold on me
    Cause everytime I try ta tell 'em no
    They won't let me ever let 'em go
    I'm a sucker all I gotta say
    Is drugs really gotta hold on me?
    Drugs really got a hold on me
    Really got a hold on me
    'Cause drugs really got a hold on me
    They really got a hold on me

    3rd verse from “I’m back”

    MMLP >>> *

    I take seven kids from Columbine, stand 'em all in line
    Add an AK-47, a revolver, a nine
    A MAC-11 and it oughta solve the problem of mine
    And that's a whole school of bullies shot up all at one time
    'Cause (I'm) Shady, they call me as crazy
    As the world was over this whole Y2K thing
    And by the way, N'Sync, why do they sing?
    Am I the only one who realizes they stink?
    Should I dye my hair pink and care what y'all think?
    Lip sync and buy a bigger size of earrings?
    It's why I tend to block out when I hear things
    'Cause all these fans screamin' is makin' my ears ring (Ah!)
    So I just, throw up a middle finger and let it linger
    Longer than the rumor that I was stickin' it to Christina
    'Cause if I ever stuck it to any singer in showbiz
    It'd be Jennifer Lopez, and Puffy you know this!
    I'm sorry Puff, but I don't give a f--- if this chick was my own mother
    I still f--- her with no rubber and c-m inside her
    And have a son and a new brother at the same time
    And just say that it ain't mine, what's my name

    Notice the trend on MMLP... every song every verse gets better.. 3rd verse the trend boys!

    Cauz iiiimmmmmmmm just Marshall Mathers :emoji_sweat_smile:

    MMLP > *

    Anybody who doesn’t have MMLP as Eminem GOAT album.. bump it now.

    Front to back! s----s a classic!!

    Special mention to Eminem Show but I’m sorry.. MMLP is bananas and Up In Smoke Tour says Hi!

    Best moment in Eminem career. You know people died when that skull came out lol

    How anyone can bump MMLP and Eminem Show front to back and not give the nod to MMLP I don’t know what to say? You probably still bumping relapse :')

    No disrespect

    I’ll give Eminem Show the nod over SSLP though.
