    everybody is gonna hate me for sayin this but Slim Shady lp is overrated, dont get me wrong its a great album but i feel like the production was just mediocre and non-replayable (when was the last time i played my name is, d---, its been too long). slim's wit and storytelling kinda made up for it tho so thats why that album is classic status

    Agreed. Definitely a classic but nowhere near in the level of MMLP or TES. A bit overrated but in this site, Relapse seems to be overrated. MMLP 2 is really underrated.

    nah man i feel that Relapse is Ems last shady album, mmlp2 is alright but god d--- his beat choice was so off, kendrick couldnt save love game, monster is still a cringe, assholes drums and synths were so off, what the f--- was up with that zombies samples in rhyme or reason, etc.

    Monster was good. I think some of u em fans got allergic to pop hooks after REcovery since Em used them too often on the album with same approaches. MMLP2 production was average, very few really good beats, and the rest was either ok or wack. a------ is unlistenable. Love Game beat sucks. Still better beats than Recovery for the most part I guess. Only other problem with MMLP 2 might be the fact that it's all over the place but that's what Marshall Mathers actually like at those times so I wouldn't really mind the fact that he actually used the name MMLP for it.

    As for Relapse, definitely the best post hiatus beats were in it but the accents ruined it so much.

    The Eminem Show..

    a lot of Stans hail it as the holy grail of em albums, when it's not even better than The SSLP

    Yeah man I dont get why he used that accent, it was fun on 3 a.m. and We Made You, but it got old real quick throughout the LP. If he just used his natural pitch voice like he did on Insane, Underground, My Darling, Be Careful What You Wish For, etc then the album would've been on another classic level imo. Recovery was good for what it was (talkin about lyricism, rhyme schemes), but d---, the R&B influence on the production was just overflow.

    I'd probably call it a classic if it wasn't for the accents.

    It’s hilarious how a lot of fans look back at relapse as somewhat highly regarded when only a few years ago it was literally an embarrassment to his catalogue

    Relapse... I see a lot of ppl say Relapse is better than Recovery which is not true imo

    Honestly I think most Eminem albums are under-rated because it's always compared to TES or MMLP ...

    His flow was really off on the sslp. It bugs me how he falls out of sync with the beat and tries to cram too many syllables into a bar all the time
