The last Em album i really fukked with...He was in rare form lyrically and flow wise :

Sick, sick dreams of picnic scenes
Two kids, sixteen, with M-16's and ten clips each
And them shyts reach through six kids each


Infinite, SSEP, SSLP, MMLP is what i will always remember Em for. he had a couple bright spots after but never a whole body of work i fukked with after.

Someone should do that for Puff for all those songs he did with Biggie.

Although I get a laugh out of Puff on Dolly My Baby.

I was reading your sentence and before I finished the first song that came to mind was Dolly My Baby. :russ:



20 years later and we're still trying to figure out what Dr. Dre was going to say. :francis:

Clearly his best album by far.
This was that late 90s/early 00s era where he was untouchable. Every feature he was on he was on another level. Even that D12 record "devils night" was probably his 2nd best album all time and he wasn't even on a third of it. His shyt was so good at this time that you have tons of hip hop heads who wait for his latest music in anticipation even to this day even though his music has been relatively terrible for 15+ years now.

I pray to god we have several albums of unreleased material during this era locked in the vault somewhere to be released/leaked at some later time.

There was a poster who was apparently good friends with Em's brother, Nate and he said he had heard dozens of unreleased songs that he was surprised never made it on an album including some songs that dissed Death Row and he had heard the Hail Mary Ja Rule diss track months before anyone else. It's funny because a bunch of songs leaked less than a year later and I always wondered if it was him that did it.

Revisited the album recently. Peak em. I think the verses and flows still stand up. The lyricism is top notch but man the production is lacking on here. The fact that Eminem was apart of the chronic 2001 sessions it’s insane to think the beats on here weren’t better. The production on TES as well. His beats should’ve been way better in retrospect.

Another thing Eminem albums lacked a great A&R. I don’t think he ever dropped an album that was cohesive less than 60 minutes. Some tracks should’ve been left on the cutting room floor. Also Royce should’ve been on this album.
