Eminem appreciation thread

[swerve]

Eating some cold pizza slices from earlier tonight. It got me thinking..


What if Eminem never existed? DAMN

 

[Omerta]

Everything he's done other than Encore and Recovery has been crazy to me. First 3 albums are classics, and Relapse is a personal classic. shyt, even that 8 Mile Soundtrack is a classic. His verses on the first D12 album are amazing too.

 

[Ohene]

It's a Shame what he has turned into

I know you're easily impressed if u got Relapse at a 4/5. Smh

Nope

The album was pretty good to me. I actually like it more than the Eminem show

Let me break it down for ya...if Dre never signed Em..

-No Chronic 2001

-Aftermath would have folded

-No 50 Cent

-No Llyod Banks

-No Game

-no Dre beats

-No Renegades

-white rappers would not be accepted (No Asher Roth, No Mac Miller, No Yelawolf, No Action Bronson, etc)

-Ja Rule would still have a career

I can go on...but shyt is deep..

i take back what I said. SSLP is 5/5

 

[Izanami]

i always wondered how eminem killed jay-z on renegades when it wasnt a battle type of track, it was a subject, concept track and jay stuck on concept to what he could relate too more. he hung with eminem without even really trying.

Em verse was right on topic as well and fit the concept. But JiggaWarriors love living in denial. Jay even had the upper hand by already hearing Ems verse and still got murked.

 

[Izanami]

You hear his verse on that new Rihanna album?..

I heard and at the end of the day we can all reminisce on how dope Em was a decade ago, we can all praise his creative ambitions on Relapse, as well as his lyricism and flow on that album but how he bows out the game at the tail end of his career will define him.

@ what Ems career has become since his verse on Forever.

Not directed to me but...


We Made You
Old Time Sake
Crack A Bottle
Paul Skit
Berman Skit
Insane


all took away from the vibe and cohesion of the project. I would give it a 3.5. It had potential to be the best Em album, if it was edited properly.

 

[OPTiMO]

Em's first 2 albums remind me so much of my childhood, definitely personal classics to me
