That's a safe opinion you have. Can you go into detail about each album?
Joe Budden doesn't have to tell you this. And yes, it's true even in Em's case. Em is nowhere near Nas/JayZ/Big but it's Joe's employer and his cac fans need someone to look up to

I don't see how Vol 1, Vol 2, I Am and The Eminem Show are arguably better than Kendrick's strongest album.

When it comes to RAPPING Eminem > Kendrick.
Kendrick would likely tell you the same.

TES >> TPAB as a rap album.
That last match up is the only debatable one and I still say it's better on some rap shyt. You disagree? Cool. Just don't run to metracritic or start talking a bunch of music major, needle drop bullshyt.
Em has more noteworthy performances throughout that 3 album stretch, easily.

I wouldn't put Em in there but it's whatever
And Ghost, and Common and.....(I can keep going...who gives a shyt...Kendrick is dope and doing his OWN thing)

Not Eminem sorry
Ghostface dropped Ironman, Supreme Clientele, and Bulletproof Wallets consecutively. This ain't even taking Fishscale into account. Pretty Toney was that shyt too
Common dropped Resurrection, One Day It'll All Make Sense, and Like Water For Chocolate consecutively. This ain't even taking Be into account.
We know what Cube
We know what Pac did the last couple years before he died
I'd take Nas first 3 even if I Am... isn't as solidly consistent as a Kendrick album, the GOATness of Illmatic, IWW, and the classic tracks on I Am... more than push it over the edge. This is without mentioning Stillmatic or The Lost Tapes.
Kendrick is the man right now but let's calm down on that top 5 talk.
