    All this snoop dogg talk made me revisit I Wanna Thank Me. Let Bygones Be Bygones is all time great Snoop.

    Snoop Lion era was pretty absurd all round, but Reincarnated is actually a lot of fun. Kinda uneven, but it’s hard not to enjoy it

    I think it's how you define 'opus' - it's peak rock star Em, so maybe it's a great culmination of what has made him such a fun pop fixture. but in terms of 'art' or rap or whatever, yeah i agree. How Can One Chandra Be So Levy.... (and the fact these differing criteria determine alt Best picks shows how quietly subtly underrated he is imo. especially now.)


    anyway, not everything needs to be about eminem as much as i love the comfort food. what about Def Jux yaaaaa that was an underrated golden age

    one of the worst takes i've seen is Eminem Show as his opus. It's inferior to MMLP in every way, and has aged kinda poorly (in 2002 he was milking about a two year old pistol whipping, twenty years later I could give a f--- about it or the songs that are a response to it)

    Take Care is drakes only classic. Not a misconception just responding to OP
