This is just a Slim Shady LP with better production arguably.
It did have significant impact but content hardly differ from the previous album and it’s made the album age badly.
It’s an album that strikes you greatly when you first hear it as a teenager but quality simmers down the older you get.
Has a few classic songs on there (Stan & The Way I Am)
But it’s not a classic album to me let alone top 25
LOL!
Do feelings and point of views on music not change?![]()
towards other tracks. Did Mr. Porter or Rick Rubin ghostwrite that other thread? 

They definitely do, but it's just weird how in that thread, you said you would only skip two tracks, and now all of a sudden, you'retowards other tracks. Did Mr. Porter or Rick Rubin ghostwrite that other thread?
And what are these tracks you can't listen to besides the two you named? I'm curious.![]()







It might be top 10 just for the fact he pushed boundaries but the mainstream got on the wave
Cage and necro was 2 white rappers he copied but they had no backing at the time
Yeah, if only Cage and Necro got a bigger push

I listened to some songs off of it like 3 nights ago and thought to myself "this shyt is corny"
He spitting but the shyt is so over the top with shock value, it just sounds like stupid.
"I was high when I wrote this, so suck my dikk" loosely the hook on "Under The Influence"
The Kim track
Amityville
Drug Ballad sounds dated.
Criminal
And just the overall of the shock value sounds so corny now in retrospect.
U know how u have 1 of them days when u listening to shyt and then it hits u like "damn, this shyt nice or damn this shyt corny".
Yeah, it was 1 of them days.![]()
outside of a few tracks. Then I gave it another listen and I was like, "
This is a nice album."
"Yeah, I understand. I never had the same reaction you did to an album, but I remember thinking My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy wasoutside of a few tracks. Then I gave it another listen and I was like, "
This is a nice album."
"Under the Influence" was alright. It sounds like a discount "bytch Please II" to me, but he needed the D12 introduction track.
I'm with you on "Kim." I can't listen to that track at all. He went overboard with the shouting and it's not even his best song about Kim. I love the beat though, and if it was some kind of interlude instead, it would have been great but he ruined it.
"Amityville" was almost ruined for me because of Bizarre's verse, but Eminem's last verse saved it. He lost his mind. "THAT'S THE MENTALITY HERE, THAT'S THE REALITY HERE/DID I JUST HEAR SOMEBODY SAY THEY WANNA CHALLENGE ME HERE?!![]()
"
I could take or leave "Drug Ballad." I was never crazy about it anyway.
I can't cosign your views on "Criminal" at all. He went off, especially in the last verse.
But I respect where you're coming from. One thing I can say about Eminem is that he's a very reactionary rapper. He's always responding to something. He only went overboard with the shock value on MMLP because people were appalled by the SSLP. I'm glad he toned it down on TES and refined his sound because a third album straight of that stuff would be overkill.

You find horrorcore rap believable? Personally im good without anybody playing "the crazy white guy role" in hip hop.Just an opinion man I think cage and necro played the crazy white guy role better and they songs were more believable
