    One of the most fun album rollouts I've ever experienced. Sad that it was all downhill after this.

    What a wild time. From Koolo getting a bunch of leaks early, to the changing of the album name five times, Kanye’s twitter beef with Wiz, to this actual event.

    If you told me back in 2016 that Kanye would fall off and Eminem would enter his second prime I would have checked you into a mental asylum. Yet here we are lol.

    Pablo has aged really well for me. 8-10 really strong cuts.

    That's the time when I joined S80. Special memories and I love the album + all the leaks to this day

    TLOP aged really well, I listened to it a few days ago. Decent album.

    Gonna correct you here, he did make a better album, he just didn't release it (Yandhi)

    FourFiveSeconds wouldn't have really fit the final album imo and it always felt more like a Rihanna song to me—but All Day would have fit perfectly.

    Only One is great too but I'm not sure if that would have fit either.

    I still listen to it this way sometimes with the OG versions of FML, Highlights, Fade, Wolves, Liberated (early FSMH w/ kendrick), etc shout out @Koolo.

    I like both versions but they feel like vastly different albums.

    Is this “Eminem entering his second prime” take explicitly made up by us music nerds on the internet?

    Like, I’ve haven’t heard a single person talk about Eminem or play Eminem in real life in years. Probably since Recovery era

    edit: in the context of his current music of course, not the classic stuff

    All Day and Only One work great if you put Southside Serenade between them (which I believe is how it must have been sequenced in the first place).

    Yeah like I said earlier, the rollout and hype >> the album. Had potential to be close to MBDTF , if it wasn't for the half assed s--- on it.

    Looking back he didn't make a better album after it though, decent project

    The original tracklist would've been soo much better.
    1. Famous
    2. FSMH 1&2
    3. Waves
    4. 30 Hours
    5. NMPILA
    6. Fade
    7. FML
    8. Real Friends
    9. Wolves
    10. Ultralight Beam

    Or something like this, I might have mixed up the order of a few songs. These are all prime Kanye songs. I don't understand why he had to delay the album add throwaway trash like Freestyle 4 and Feedback in the last minute.
