    I understand what you're saying. Relapse's sales did put him over the hump to win Artist Of The Decade (most album sales) for the 2000s. Definitely his worst album though.

    I hate to say worst because he was in such a difficult place but yes, it's his most disjointed project by far

    I'd actually say Encore was the most disjointed

    a lot of people would. but I believe including the leaks and bonus tracks it's a more solid album

    I'd say what I said, relapse. I just hate saying it because I do really love a few of the songs including my darling which is very underrated

    Yeah it definitely improves if you count songs that aren't actually on it

    I also find it helps to ignore all the bad songs, that definitely makes it better

    why do you have such a problem with me rating em's vision of the project instead of the cd that hit walmart shelves?

    when he remembers 2004 (if he can at all) he most likely thinks of everything he recorded, even the stuff the king and queen of sl swizz and msolo didn't even hear. a--- like that is likely at the back of his mind just as it is at the back of mine

    Because you're rating someone's vision instead of the actual album...

    and when you did your dreadfully amateurish youtube review of yeezus you rated his sick desire to be some kind of deity and not the actual project which was to be completely fair pedestrian and middle of the road

    what's your point

    Because as listeners our job isn't to read his mind, it's to judge the project in its final, official form. Plenty of artists put leaked songs on albums. That very year, after almost all of College Dropout leaked, Kanye still included most of the leaked songs. Nobody put a gun to Em's head and made him swap Love You More for Big Weenie. Even if the label flat out forced him to discard those songs, nobody forced Em to make replacement songs as bad as a--- Like That and Rain Man. You're jumping through hoops and bending over backwards to see the album in its best possible light. Just accept that it's terrible and move on - the rest of us have.

    But I didn't. It's a 20 min video and 15 minutes of it is literally a track by track breakdown

    So you're just making stuff up

    my point exactly. anyone can write a f---ing track by track breakdown brah. there is literally no critical analysis whatsoever. at least i speak up when em takes a misstep. yeezus forbid you should see flaws in gasp a minority

    work on that
    :khaled2:

    a--- like that is my least favorite em song and that fact is well documented

    every other track on the album is, definitely if you include the aforementioned leaked and bonus songs, as far as riding the beats, storytelling, metaphor, concept, structuring and rhyming go, superior to anything on college dropout and it's easily a bottom three eminem project

    iirc slant gave them both 3.5/5 stars and village voice gave them both A's

    btw you should give this a read Encore, once considered Eminem’s worst, stands as satire within chaos if you haven't

    Do you just say things? my track by track breakdown has "literally no critical analysis?" Okay, cool, prove it. You've apparently seen the video

    also did you just say "every other other track" on Encore is better than College Dropout.......

    yup i just say things
    here's some other things i'd say
    i don't need to prove s--- to you
    your whole online portfolio reads like a middleschool project
    and here's how you know i've watched your videos and i'm not a liar like you love to suggest, you sound like someone i'd call for tech support who's been told numerous times by their supervisor to shed the accent so you've bent over and obliged, tbqh
    and don't even get me started on your "rapping" and "writing"
    oh and no fuckstick, i didn't say that. i said any single encore track including leaks and bonuses is, lyrically, better than any single song on college dropout
    i can't even get one line into jesus walks without hearing the n word lmao
    foh kid

    Everything on Encore except a--- Like That is better than everything on The College Dropout? Did I just read that correctly?

    Holy s--- :'( :'(
