[@AdamAdam-md4mi]

The Eminem Show to me is objectively his best record. Mmlp definitely made the most controversy, but The Eminem Show is his most well-composed body of work. It contains his most personal, mature and introspective songwriting. The production was much more experimental than the first two and far less dated. The album is less satirical than the first two and ironically feels like the album that should me called “The Marshall Mathers lp” because it’s his most personal. Sing for the moment, hailies song, my dads gone crazy, cleaning out my closet, say goodbye Hollywood are some of his most introspective songs. It also his highest selling album. People often think it’s mmlp but nope. He also said he felt it was his best record so far so he even put it over the mathers lap. His best album easily. I love the first two albums but the Eminem show is his greatest, most mature and personal album. The personal songwriting, to having hailie on it to handling the production primarily himself, it sort of feels like the album that belongs to him the most. It’s the most him.

[@trenhen4311]

Objectively??? How?

[@KaiJordan23]

Objectively? What the hell?

[@AdamAdam-md4mi]

@@KaiJordan23 Haha objectivity is essentially an established set of subjectivity lmao. What I mean is I just feel like it has to be his masterpiece because sure it didn’t have the controversy of MMLP, but it’s his best song writing, most mature and introspective lyricism, less nasally voice. His best flow and delivery, his most timeless production. The best way I can put it is if his first three records were graded by a teacher I’m a class. Each one of those records was a final he had to take, then The Eminem Show would be the one he got the highest score on. It’s the best written, best produced, best composed, most personal, and it’s a record that he did primarily himself, so if all of his albums are his babies, this would be the one he put the most effort into raising. It’s the one that belongs to him the most. Hope that makes sense.

MMLP was him at his most angry and vicious, unfiltered with still a nice sense of humor. Whereas The Eminem Show is much more serious, personal and it just feels like we got to see the man behind the act that pulls the string for the Slim Shady alter ego. The first three albums are all classics to me though

[@fwright22]

Thank you for the Recovery appreciation. That was Eminem doing the pop-rap thing correctly. Quality beats, verses and hooks. All cohesive and every song made sense on the track list. I was cool with it back then (I was 15) and when I return to it I still love it. Number 4 or 5 for me.

The only issue I have with Eminem is I feel like he’s too insecure when it comes to his critic receptions of his music and that’s what ruined his music for me.I understand it but his music from recovery to Kamikaze sounded like he was making music for his critics instead of his fans.There’s a world out there where his whole discography is perfect because he just did him and waited till people finally saw the vision he had for his music..like imagine how many classics we would’ve missed out on if Kanye cared bout what critics thought of his music.

[@NFRPodcast]

[@cfreeze3691]

Totally disagree with the MTBMB ranking. The beats and production is top notch. The theme throughout the album on both sides stayed consistent under the murder theme. The features added to the album. Gave respect to the game by shouting out legends. Yes he had fun and he rhymed a word with orange. Word play is insane. New world record with Godzilla. Darkness entire song was a double. Em dissing like he always does. Brought back accents in Discombobulated. No way this is his 10th best album. A great listen and has some great replay value in today’s taste in music because the production goes hard. Yah yah and You Gon’ Learn are awesome.

TES to me is probably the album with the greatest singles in any music genre. It rarely happens that the singles are my favorite tracks, but with TES it's different. I mean, "Sing for the Moment" and "Cleanin' out my Closet" are in my all-time top 3 Em songs, and "Superman" is in my top 10. And "Without Me" was such a perfect first single, to me personally the best one out of all his "goofy" first singles. I really can't think of another album that had such strong singles. The only one that comes close is MMLP lol. P.S.: I'd love to see you guys ranking Outkast's discography. I believe they have the greatest discography in hip hop and my personal ranking pretty much changes every week.

I feel his albums artistically got worse overtime as a result of him getting better and better as a rapper and lyricist. But now he’s so good and technical that not much people can relate to it anymore. Regardless, he still remains one of the greats. He still records daily like it’s his 9-5 job. You never know if he might surprise us in the future.

I understand where your coming from and I don’t fully disagree. The only reason I disagree on it is just because of my own preference on my own enjoyment from his albums.

[@floralkami2860]

I disagree. Saying his albums got artistically worse because he became better at the art doesn't make any sense. What makes Eminems later albums suffer, is that they fail conceptually, he tries his hardest to experiment with a new flow that is incredibly sloppy and his beat selection is just not good. And...he doesn't really seem to care 😕

Facts and im big Eminem fan , he is the Goat . but i agree totally , its like he trying too much nowadays and the beat selection is terrible .

[@daveguy420]

A few takeaways. 1. I'm over 10 years older than you guys so lived through those album releases and Encore definitely wasn't his most controversial album. It was Marshall Mathers LP. Everyday on mainstream news there were protests over it from various groups and he was by far the biggest artist in the world at the time and the fact he was white and had a specific style lent himself to more fans than most rappers at the time. 2. I absolutely agree 100% with the Relapse ranking and analysis. I know people always shit on it but I think the concept is insane and Same Song and Dance is one of the craziest concepts and hooks ever. 3. I think one thing people often overlook with the 3 album in a row classic is that he also came out with a hit movie (8 Mile) about his life and his signature and biggest song (Lose Yourself) with a whole soundtrack in 2002 also. He was at his absolute peak in 2002 so there was nowhere to go but down. Awesome analysis guys!

[@looneygore]

My theory for Encore is that it was meant to be his greatest album, but since half the songs got leaked from it, he just replaced them all with troll songs like Big Weenie, Puke, and Rain Man, but even those have a special vibe and comedy to them

[@jonsmith1956]

Happy to see Relapse getting it's dues. Super underrated. I really think the reason that it was hated at the time (other than the accents) is because of the timing. He was coming back from a hiatus and people just wanted to return to before and instead he subverted expectations with a dark concept album. People just weren't ready for it at the time

The SSLP is the rawest version of Eminem’s crazy enough, I think a lot of MMLP was recorded during the same sessions. I’m surprised I didn’t hear anything about 97 Bonnie & Clyde or Kim. S a kid, Kim scared the F*** out of me.

This is the first NFR video I watched when it released. Think you guys had around 10k subs around that time. Much love for NFR ♥️

[@VelvetVelva]

for me it's (and I probably have the weirdest list for you guys lol) MMLP2 - this album has some of the best combinations of music and technical/deep lyrics, and overall just has some all time BANGERS: evil twin, bad guy, berzerk, wicked Ways, groundhog day, and so on. This album is his best imo. Relapse - the beats in this album are absolutely amazing. Yes the topics can be a little gruesome, but the flows, rhyme schemes, and even the way he bends words in accents to help him rhyme words that don't rhyme already in the way Relapse did is actually fucking amazing. for example in stay wide awake. That last verse is something else. Would be an instant top 1 if not for 'insane'.. wasn't bad, just.... makes me incredibly uncomfortable. Chorus rocks tho. TES - this is where I was introduced to em and I honestly like it a lot. It shows how he's grown as a person and some of the songs themselves just sound like he's just having a fun time, while at the same time giving us a message. Recovery - deep as hell album. Helped me with my mental issues and helped me smile through my darkest, which, hey, was the point after all. I love this album to death, especially songs like "You're never over" (rip proof), "Cinderella man", "on fire", "not afraid." And so on. MMLP - angry em fills me with anger, but I love it. Obviously his most controversial album to date (for good reason). Not much else to say other than I like the album. SSLP - definitely a good way to Jumpstart his career with both anger, ambition, and humor. Especially role model man lmfao. PSA: next albums aren't necessarily "BAD" albums for me, but definitely include albums that didn't click right for me with the exception of MTBMB MTBMB (side A) - phenomenal album, I love the display of lyricism and the speed rap is music to my ears, bars everywhere man. Music choices were a little eh for some songs, which em definitely helped me get through. 8/10 Kamikaze - good return to form, not much else to say. Encore - it was definitely a messy as hell album but even messy albums have those few songs that clicked with you, and that's what encore did. It had some pretty good songs (1 shot two shot), some deep songs (like toy soldiers), and some funny songs (ass like that). Kinda a messy mix of all three as an album but I can agree it's definitely a step down from his previous three. MTBMB (Side B) - I'm sorry but this side of the album was kind of weak. Yeah, of course there's a plethora of bars, which obviously are crazy good, but MAN, I did not like his music choices. Trap beats? Really? Discombobulated, Zeus, and Alfred's theme were they only ones that I actually really really liked. Other than that... ehh. I'm glad he seems to be having fun though. Revival I've only listen to one song so I don't have a good opinion on it yet. Same with Infinite.

[@spicccieee3045]

I think the one album that does get overlooked because of how different it is I recovery. Yes he went down a different road but I think it was a fantastic and my personal favorite album

[@realaspectrapper]

i respect the ranking for the albums. i would do encore, revival, mmlp2, relapse, infinite, kamikaze, recovery, mtbmb(side 1 and 2), mmlp, slim shady lp and then the Eminem show. i feel even tho it's a compilation, the 8 mile is also really good.

[@michalhudec3342]

Unpopular opinion: Music To Be Murdered By Side A + B is in his TOP 5 Albums

[@francoisturcotte3982]

I agree. The album is not Perfect and the concept (murder through music, stories and bars) could have been executed better but gosh I love hearing him having fun again, something he didn't have for a long time. Every since Recovery he always made album in response to his previous and for that he just wanted to make music for himself and his fans and I respect that. Not to mention the production which is his best since Relapse and the flow. The flow throughout this project is what got me cause he sounds in perfect control of his voics and cadence, something he lost during the mmlp2 revival and even kamikaze era where he was too much aggressive while here, he is calm but still passionnate and emotional in his voice and he sounds so young, i'm not joking eminem sounds 10 year younger on this project than any project he dond in the past 10 years. Very solid project imo. Also Stepdad is underrated as fuck. It's a rollercoaster in term of storytelling, violence, imagery and emotion. The beat and the hook aren't the best yes but they work with the concept of the song,just like the concept they are made to be disturbing and reproduce the mindset of a young kid. Top 25 eminem song period along with Premonition and Never love again.

[@francoisturcotte3982]

I personnaly don't agree with their placing but I respect their opinion and I think they have fair points for each project except for MTBMB which I feel they kind of got wrong.
