Aug 25, 2021 Companion Thread: Z Gangsta reviews Kanye West Discography @Z Gangsta and I made a deal that if he does track by track reviews of Kanye's discography, I'll do the same for Eminem. We're each doing their 10 main solo studio albums—that means no Re-Up, no Cruel Summer, no Watch the Throne, no Bad Meets Evil, etc...but who knows we may do those later if these turn out to be fun threads. Eminem Albums (@Donkey Kong Country) 1. The Slim Shady LP 2. The Marshall Mathers LIP 3. The Eminem Show 4. Encore 5. Relapse 6. Recovery 7. The Marshall Mathers LP2 8. Revival 9. Kamikaze 10. Music to Be Murdered By Kanye West Albums (@Z Gangsta) 1. The College Dropout 2. Late Registration 3. Graduation 4. 808s & Heartbreak 5. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy 6. Yeezus 7. The Life of Pablo 8. ye 9. Jesus Is King 10. Donda
Aug 25, 2021 fwiw, looking at em's albums, to me theres 2-3 truly bad/not good ones: revival, mmlp2, encore (to an extent)***** then some dated ones that i like for nostalgia purposes mostly: mmlp, TES, recovery the new, somewhat fun, less zeitgesty stuff mtbmb, kamikaze and two hard classics, or actually musically/conceptually good SSLP, Relapse -- kanye is unimpeachable college dropout to yeezus... TLOP (shout out @JFK congrats on ur engagement) is gooooooood but flawed/couldve been classic.... then last two s----d. anyways carry on ***man, 2011-2018 was rly a slog to be an em fan. wayyyy worse than encore to relapse in hindsight
Aug 25, 2021 Have fun working on Eminem’s. What a beautiful mess his discography is lmao. Looking forward to these
Aug 25, 2021 yeah i hear u. its in between tiers. fitting since its half him trying, half him giggling poop noises or whatever. def has some charm, especially for his thug era lol
Aug 25, 2021 i like mmlp2 for the most part evil twin, brainless, dont front, legacy, love game still get spins from me
Aug 25, 2021 There's some good stuff on MMLP2 but it's bogged down by some of the worst songs he's ever made. I appreciate him trying something different with Berserk for the single tho
Aug 25, 2021 i guess dont front counts as mmlp2 track. but its just such a long, soulless album to me. few solid stuff mixed in otherwise pop/unpleasantness. edit or i think tyler's critique of it is rly well said
Aug 25, 2021 My pre-listen rankings from @Wreckless ranking thread—dunno if they'll change much but I spose we'll wait and see. Tier 1: SSLP MMLP Relapse Tier 2: TES Music To Be Murdered By Side B Music To Be Murdered By Side A Encore Kamikaze Tier 3: The Marshall Mathers LP 2 Recovery Revival
Aug 25, 2021 I somewhat or almost fully agree on Em, but I don't know if I agree on Kanye though that's why lol.
