The Marshall Mathers LP was 1 of the most popular albums in the 2000s, is it a top 25 Hip Hop album?

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

Right there already I can see this guy doesn't know what he's talking about. And people are dapping it here just because it makes the hate seem valid lmao.

Coli hates on Eminem too hard sometimes. And for the record I don't think the album is top 25 but some of y'all gotta stop with your furious anger against eminem.

Still loling at MMLP is SSLP with better beats. Albums are literally nothing alike. The flows are different, the beats are totally different, even eminems delivery is completely different and the content is different except for the fact that both had "shock value" raps.

LOL!
Do feelings and point of views on music not change? :ehh:

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're :scust: towards other tracks. Did Mr. Porter or Rick Rubin ghostwrite that other thread? :mjgrin:

And what are these tracks you can't listen to besides the two you named? I'm curious. :jbhmm:

I listened to some songs off of it like 3 nights ago and thought to myself "this shyt is corny" :francis:

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 :scust::hhh:

Amityville :francis:
Drug Ballad sounds dated. :scust:
Criminal :camby:

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. :ehh:

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

:rudy: Yeah, if only Cage and Necro got a bigger push:camby:

To be honest... This album dropped when I was 10. Played it like crazy tho. But see I was a kid. I was drawn to the shock lyrics, the lyrical content, his rawness and IDGAF attitude. But as I got older, the album just became immature to me. Which makes me wonder sometimes if I would've still appreciated the album if it came out when I was older. Out of all his albums, I'd say The Eminem Show is my favorite from him now, which is ironic cuz when it first came out I was 12 and I thought it was too toned down and somewhat boring.

But overall MMLP isn't an album I ever play at all. I'm just not into "crazy angry white boy" shyt. It just doesn't go well in a car ride, when you're at the gym working out, hanging with bytches, at a party/club. It's like where the fukk you gonna play it outside of your headphones?

LMAO, Em blew up in 99 cuz he looked like a fukkin' boy band member and the MTV watching suburban kids loved that. Cage and Necro were two fat, scuzzy dirtballs back in the day (well, Necro still is)...mainstream America wasn't gonna go for that. And I generally fukk with a lot of their songs, but...Necro ain't as good as a rapper as Em. Cage comes closer on technical skill, but his shyt was too cryptic and out there for mass consumption.

Yeah, it was 1 of them days. :ehh:

Yeah, I understand. I never had the same reaction you did to an album, but I remember thinking My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy was :francis: outside of a few tracks. Then I gave it another listen and I was like, ":ohhh: 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.:yeshrug:

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?! :damn: :picard:"

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.

There’s no weak song on the album. If I would have to choose one it’s probably drug ballad and it’s still 4/5

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