    The one album out of the top 3 that has fallen under the radar and is under appreciated as this was the album of an underdog and the most important album of Eminems career

    I wanted to create this thread to talk about the album and the content and appreciate Eminems first classic

    Under the radar? Everyone count it as a classic..
    Some might say its even better than MMLP

    Compared to the MMLP and TES I would say it's fallen under the radar a bit

    Nobody seems to talk about the album

    If there is one thing kind of underrated when it comes to sslp it's I'm Shady.

    Imo one of his best songs ever, but never really mentioned.. ofcourse the album has Rock Bottom, Role Model etc, also classics, but I feel like I'm Shady get's overlooked a lot.

    The only bad song on it is My Fault tbh. The rest of the songs are either dope or classic. I have alot of favorites on this record and it does seem like it's unappreciated compared to TES and MMLP. The quality gap is extremely small between his 3 classic albums

    not his best but probably my favorite. "murder, murder" and "low, down, dirty" should've made the album tho
