    That's why I named MMLP too. The Eminem Show sounds perfect to me both lyrically and musically but anyway. Say What You Say wasn't a classic but it was good. Eminem used to sound the best. Same for Superman. Rap is not just lyrics. It's also delivery, the flow, the music and Eminem in his prime was ahead of Jay in terms of those. One other rapper I can say that is on par with Em on flow s--- is Biggie. I don't see how The Eminem Show has dated production ? I'd take that production to most of the production today in hip hop music.

    I didn't say or have ever said the album was trash. Objectively it's not great and I think if you made a poll most people would agree with me.

    i would love to see a forum label TPAB as not great, but it wont happen

    every review you can find on the internet either says its amazing or it was pretty good.

    LOL when you put it like that it sounds like you're right but it's not just ordinary s---. I mean thing Em have gone thru and the crazy ways he Express his feelings etc... Anyway, guess we agree on both Em & Jay are the goats and their place on that list are very well-deserved.

    To p---- A Butterfly is a bit overrated s---. It doesn't have much replay value. There some classic s--- but also some boring s--- that you might not be able to get into easily.

    so you agree that saying the album is not great is just subjective and in the minority

    I'm saying it's overrated by many. It's a good album but no way it can be defined as a classic.

    There's a difference between somebody being your favorite vs thinking they're the best out. Perfect example being D Rose.

    You shouldn't have relate to something to be able to be judge it objectively. You're allowed to like all 3 Eminem albums more if you want, but by most objective measures RD is clearly better

    -No Kanye, but he has 6 out of 6 classics

    -Eminem even tho, at MOST, he has 3 out of like 7 or 8 or whatever # he's on

    -Kendrick for some f---ing reason

    Lmao

    no it's not. I already gave my reasons. No matter how much you try to be objective it's the music in the end. I'm not gonna sit there and give reasons again.
