Y’all realize it’s been 25 years since Super Honk released the whitest Hip Hop album of all time? The Marshall Mathers LP reigns supreme!

[bigde09]

Yeah this album is him at his core

The Eminem show is a good album but it’s a watered down version of MMLP that’s easier to digest for the masses.

They both have the same themes. Em adapting to fame and fortune while trying to keep his family life together. A lot of em fans say TES is the best like @SunZoo bur I prefer the hardcore nature of MMLP

 

[Mac Ten]

I’ll bump Slim Shady LP over this album….


Em was too angry on this album.

Homosessuals got it bad the worst.

Drips was the 1st single from tes. Label wouldn't push it. Thus without me

 

[patscorpio]

I wouldn't say TES is a watered down MMLP, just a progression of a consistent theme of desire and then balancing the karma that comes with actually getting what you ask for.

The whole Truman Show, oh wait this is what's REALLY happening now that I'm on the inside looking out. Wheras MMLP was about unpacking the personal trauma that helped create the Slim Shady persona, TES was about realizing that the fame that he already was uncomfortable with is causing more trauma of it's own and the train is only going to keep moving faster.

This is why there is 2pac's influence all over this album, me against the world shyt. It's why he was already talking about being burned out and retiring by his 3rd album.

MMLP is more witty, more creative and lively but it's not nearly as immersive.

Yea for sure. When I say watered down i don’t mean mean in a bad way. Just more accessible. He did say he wanted to make an album he can tour with in a better way for TES. You get more stadium status songs and a bigger sound.

MMLP was a guy hanging on by a thread still fighting what was happening to his life after fame.

TES was this is my life now in a more accepting way. Which is why I really believe TES was supposed to be the end for him. But he was forced back with encore and we saw how that ended for him. He ended up spiraling 2004-2006 and hit rock bottom in 07.

I don't know about 'supposed' to be the end, but the last thing he wanted to do after processing all that, especially not having the time to fix his family stuff was to have the label and fans to demand MORE right then. But he was too hot to take a hiatus. He damn near killed himself to get away.

It's why even though Encore was obviously a huge let down, it's still a pretty interesting/important album in the context of his whole career. it's bascially an album complaining about having to make an album

Who tf else has done that? Maybe Bob Dylan or some shyt.

Yeah I just looked it up, it was May

For some reason I thought it was March of 2000

I’m getting old
