listenin' to the chronic 2001 right now and hearin' eminem rip these beats ("what's the difference" and "forget about dre") to shreds got me thinkin' back on just how great of an mc he was back then. he was like a damn robot back then. it was like he was programmed to spit nothin' but greatness..... :whew:

from his work on the chronic 2001, features on missy's song, the next friday soundtrack, the soundbombing 2 compilation etc. then the slim shady lp, his magum opus with the marshall mathers lp, the eminem show, 8 mile soundtrack and then the movie :damn::wow:

it's crazy to now think bout just how popular he was back then too because so much has changed since then. hell, he collaborates with pop singers now for one, lol. but bruh was big (pause) as shyt back then. it was like he was on his own fukkin' island. he's still a brand in 2014 but back in 99' and more so in like 2000 when the marshall mathers lp came out; that muthafukka (em) was the best thing since slice bread to many in tuned with hip hop and entertainment on a whole. you had to be livin' under a rock to not know who the fukk he was

and whether you like his music or not, one thing that can't be denied is his knack and talent for bein' a great lyricist and mc back then. he's among the elite and made his mark in hip hop music

when i really think about how great eminem was in his prime and all that he accomplish all across the map, i could see how one could say he's in their top 5. bruh was once of the most popular and or thee most popular mc at one particular point in time :wow:

yeah, it's not like he lose his skills like others flabby rappers, but in his case, he changed his style to a nonsense rapid spittin delivery and theses unecessary screams and tone. I used to think in the sslp era he was dope but I was not fan of his noisy voise but during the mmlp and eminem show era, he was just perfect. It's really when relapse came that he start to yalling and cute lose

this songs is really the epitome and testament of what eminem style used to and should have remains

its the public's fault (cats on the coli too) for shytting on relapse :manny:

and to a lower degree Proof passing away, he wasn't a yes man and would let Em know if shyt was wack.

when the public didn't like relapse he bytched up and changed his style, relapse was damn near classic :mjcry:

And he ignored all the praise for relapse also and listened to the c00ns :snoop:
