i haven't seen the review but apparently The Source said he sounded too much like Nas & AZ
eminem i put eminem's first album up against anybody first album lyrically.

they might not actually write down the words the same. i've heard (and seen) Em writes like a maniac on anything & everything, words all over the place, different angles, upside down, 4 bars here, 2 bars there, 12 bars there, then pieces it all together. i haven't seen AZ's rhyme books but i assume he's more straight forward, writing on one piece of paper, 16 bars down the line.
on a side note, i saw a video with Del recently where he said Ice Cube used to put a dot at the start of each bar when he was writing rhymes. just a nice little insight to how some of these guys actually write down their rhymes.

This Cacs first 4 albums are Infinite, sslp, mmlp, the eminem show.
That has to be one of the best runs in hiphop history
you gotta be joking
One classic and 3 great how many rappers you know put outwidely expected nice albums back to back like that? You getting caught up in your feelings breh. Not one of those albums are weak

the "classic" i assume you're talking about MMLP, i challenge that off top. Infinite is average at best, the beats are pretty weak and apart from the title song, it's nothing special.
SSLP is a good album, i bought it when it dropped but again nothing special about it tho Em didn't even really get that big off SSLP, it' wasn't until 2001 that he really started his rise.
MMLP - great album, some classic songs but when was the last time you really listened to it? replay value for any Em album has always been pretty low for me personally. having said that, it's the closest he has gotten to a classic even thought i think it's far from it.
The Eminem Show - the production really weighs this down IMO i don't get what other people see in songs like Sing For The Moment, Soldier & My Dad's Gone Crazy. the highlights are great, Til I Collapse, Cleanin Out My Closet, White America, etc but the lows are really low, Hailie's Song, Without Me, Ken Kaniff skits
the beats plod along for the most part.they're a far cry from the 3-4 album runs of rappers like Rakim, Ice Cube, Redman, Spice 1, EPMD, OutKast, Geto Boys, Ghostface Killah, ATCQ, De La, KRS, CMW/MC Eiht, Devin The Dude, Nas, The Roots, Pac, DJ Quik, etc

That's all your opinion breh and you'er welcome to it my opinion is I think ems first four fits in with the acts you named. I said one of the best not the bestthe "classic" i assume you're talking about MMLP, i challenge that off top.

You can't explain that to nikkas who have no concept of multi's and shyt like that. I bet a lot of these nikkas couldn't even put one together, or define what one really is.

ding !!!!!!! lmao finally somebody gets it and this nikka right here gets what im talking about most of these nikkas don't even write / rap to get what rhyme schemes are and how different mc's strcuture they lyrics to get what im talking about or even know what techniques mc's use in their lyrics.
because eminem and az write nothing alike eminem is wayyyyyyyyyyy more complex then az eminem rhymes more syllables in his bars and has different rhyme schemes in his lyrics.

I'm still trying to grasp the concept of how it would do any damage to me mentally by removing fictional "reputation points" because nikkas don't like hearing the truth. All it shows is that you stress virtual ways to show your dislike for someone instead of being able to do it in real life. Can you imagine me at a job interview like "I don't have any job experience, but I have 1,000 rep points on The Coli." INSTANT HIRE, LMAO. Take that fake dollar amount you get on here and apply it to buying yourself some imaginary confidence in life, fukking losers, lmfao.
