    I listened to Marshall Mathers(the song) for the first time in ages today and it made me sad as f---. Christ he was so good.

    His anger, passion and desire to be the best emcee really shines through. To me, it's the perfect balance of him still owning the "SSLP, wake up show and various other pre MMLP freestyles/appearances" lyrical ability along with his increasing song making ability. Basically, he was still insane with the pen but he also figured out how to master his flow and create catchy melodies while changing his voice to fit really well with the sound of the beat and overall mood of the track. Plus I think his hooks on this album are him at his peak. But I can see why others don't agree with this.

    Plus it has so many of his greatest songs on this album. It has Stan, Way I Am, Drug Ballad, and Criminal, which are 4 of his top 5 or 10 best songs he ever created IMO.

    I still think k--- You is one of, if not the greatest, opening track of any rap record I've ever heard.

    He was at his most creative, most passionate and hungriest during this era. Every song on MMLP is 10/10 to me except Under the Influence (thanks to D12).

    He sounded borderline demonic. s--- was edgey in a good way. If he released mmlp in today's climate people would lose their s--- even more than they did back in 2000. Sjws would storm the stage at one of his concerts and beat him to death.

    Also Devils night may hold his best verses, blow my buzz verse is best verse about munchies in rap history.

    True. I meant solo album wise though. I definitely think MMLP-Devils Night was his peak.

    I don’t like a piece of it. I don’t like a part of it. I like the whole thing.

    The production was different. Eminem was brutal & witty. It was perfection all the way around.

    His anger and frustration on that album is why I love it so much. He was never that angry before or after ever again.
