    Only f--s who nitpick and have a bad childhood would deny it

    You're asking it in the Eminem Section, pretty obvious what you'll get.

    ok anime f---er, I will eat your bait.

    1- It has multiple undisputed classics: 1- Stan, 2- The Way I am, 3- The Real Slim Shady ... MBTDF doesn't touch any of these songs

    2- It is what made rap loved by cacs and internationally, love it or hate it, it really did, and maybe solved racism cuz white kids started acting wiggers and loving the culture

    3- It didn't sacrifice lyrics for selling, like we see nowadays

    4- It influenced J Cole, Big Sean, Kendrick Lamar, etc... , according to them, and they @ the top I guess

    5- Kanye west trying to replicated him in the most cringy way, and Kanye is 2016 rap fans circle jerk :/

    It's a no contest...you throw out your own opinions aside-- if for some reason Eminem only had one classic album, it's this one based on notoriety, popularity, and influence alone

    Disagree
    Under The Influence bad a--- and has a great hook from Em which is rare and all the verses are killer
    Amityville is hard as f--- one of the most angry raw Em deliveries I've ever heard, Bizzares verse is f----- but gets old but still would not call it filler
    f--- Ken Kaniff tho lmao

    Not a bad song
    Best Em album
    Easy 2 enjoy but dark and psychotic
    Emotional but hilarious
    Just the best depiction of Eminem you could ask for f---ing perfect album.

    I see MMLP being cited all the time as one of the all-time classic hip hop records (mostly by Eminem fans, but still), which I legitimately don't understand. While it did have a massive impact at the time, and has some great songs on it, I really don't see how it holds a candle to albums like Stankonia, Low End Theory, MBDTF, The Black Album, or Madvillainy. Classics are supposed to be d--- near flawless front to back, while MMLP is awkwardly structured and has really subpar tracks and lyrics scattered everywhere. It seems almost like an insult to those albums to consider MMLP to be on par with them tbh.

    What do you guys think?
