The real question is, who's gonna stop Interscope and cac publications from declaring MMLP one of, if not, the greatest rap release of all time?

You know it's coming. I believe Rolling Stone has already done that.
When have CAC opinions mattered to real hip hop

These same cats that would've given ex. Janet Jackson a Grammy for Rap album of the year over somebody like Scarface

They don't care about our culture

Mmlp was a really good album his best work that I've heard

I'm sure some people would say it's classic not me though

muthafukkas can say what they want to now but back in the late 90's to early 2000s eminem was on roll :sas1:

remember when him and redman linked up? :jawalrus:



and who could forget this underground classic :damn:



seriously, how can anyone deny and hate on dude's skills as an mc? :mindblown:



fukk the hate and revision, eminem was that dude from a minute and the marshall mathers lp is a classic :aicmon:

people complain bout "he whines, all his rhymes bout his mom, his wife, his daughter" etc etc well what else was he suppose to rap about? he was bein' true to himself of course with much exaggeration added like many rappers do. i've said it before but i'll say it again, i don't relate to more than half of the stuff eminem has rapped about but i respect him as an emcee because he's talented and he stayed true to himself and his craft. do i like all of his stuff? no but there is a fair amount of his stuff that i do like :yeshrug:

not on the marshall mathers lp but i'll be damned if i didn't fukk with this shyt, eminem was tryin' to get on some ll cool j shyt with this :russ:

(it's funny how now eminem really tries make pop records with everyone from pink to rihanna to skylar grey but his best hooks sung by a female were with dina rae)



dina rae is sexy as fukk too :whew: and can sing too. it's a damn shame she ain't never break big in the game

Album aged terribly. All those references to early 2000's popstars he was beefing with christina, nsync, britney, moby, insane clown posse... I realised a month or so back when I relistened to the album after years that Em didn't just turn corny during his Encore era but had always been corny :ohhh:

I guess it's a classic for it's impact on pop culture but it's not a hiphop classic.

Only song I can still bang from the album is Remember Me and that's only because Sticky Fingaz came through with a fire verse

album is horrible. eminem has been making terrible music for most of his career and i understand one being fooled by mtv/magazines and cacs saying this was a classic when you were younger but once you grow up and start appreciating music and don't need propaganda to tell you what's true or not, to still think of it as a classic is an active attack and insult at your own potential intelligence.

i mean, the shyt is full of verses like this:

why would anyone go back and listen to this corny garbage i honestly don't know.

:scusthov:

Rep'd, so much of his shyt is trash of you break it down.

yeah, it's funny to me how somehow eminem's run from like 98' to 02' or 03' rather is now deemed as wack.

i ain't except a white boy who came from a trailer park in the midwest to be rappin' bout much else than what eminem was rappin' about

i respected him as an artist because it seemed like he was speakin' on things he knew and he was a voice for a world in hip hop that hip hop had not heard from so it was new and refreshin'. sure, we as black people and fans of hip hop had heard the beastie boys (who were like frat white boys), vanilla ice (a poser), kid rock (another poser; one minute he hip hop next minute he long lost member of the old group alabama :mjlol:) etc etc but all of those guys still didn't bring the flipside of a white boy livin' in the ghetto in a trailer park vibe to hip hop and eminem did

i knew white dudes like eminem when i was comin' up, poor white trailer park trash who came up in a black neighborhood so to me the whole eminem image and all didn't seem far fetched at all. eminem was a white boy who had grew up on hip hop, was a student of the the game and he like many of us black people gotta love for it :yeshrug:

impact makes it classic yes but

the album isnt very good musically anymore..just listen to some of beats and rhymes on that shiit.:scust:

my point is this: if someone like cac miller dropped a similar album would it still be loved?
