    Your personal views may be that he's putting out mediocre music but the sales seem to prove otherwise. Fact is, he's still got a huge fan base and I'd one of the biggest seeking artists in the world. No way he should retire.

    I do however feel he could wrap up his career nicely by releasing 2 more albums, 1 "pairing" MMLP2 and one "pairing" Infinate.

    youre implying that they're negligible lol. if you can back your criticism up with rationale, reasoning, evidence, etc. then your criticism holds up.

    its not subjective/a matter of taste that he's puttin out a lot of mediocre s---. he's puttin out a lot of mediocre s---, there's a lot that backs that up.
    sales determine the popularity of a work, not the quality

    But the beauty of music is that it's subjective, same as any art form. What I like, you may not. And what you like, I may not. Neither one of us need to prove what they believe to be good or bad.

    However, my point is not about quality in the first place. He has a big fan base and they will continue to buy his music, therefore it does not make sense to take that away. It's business 101: Supply and Demand.

    Agree 100% .. its my #1.. but this applies mostly for die-hard stans

    Casual listeners got no time for the legendary deep wordplays and internal rhymez

    Dome people consider So Far classic.. it has unique vibe and sampled a famous classic song or something.. it is quite funny

    Stronger Than I was I guess is enjoyable by ppl who go through stuff. Like I did @2013 .. it was GOAT.. plus all those fangirls adore this track..

    I get why u hate them.. but Em fanbase is millions of different people.. he should make something for each fans.

    Eminem didn't think it's banging like Panda's beat.

    It is just amazing beat... I hated it and Calm Down at first.. then I decided to be open minded..

    This kind of beat makes the words he spits come as fire.. I cant describe.. in a way they are s-----y for first impression.. but when they click, they sound 10x more dope.

    People in this thread really saying the majority will eventually call MMLP2 his 4th classic, and saying it's his best album?

    Jesus Christ imagine the tint of the glasses required to see this :rickross:

    It's a good album. Nothing more, nothing less. The term classic gets thrown around WAY too much for MMLP2 to be classic...like what else would have to be on your classic list in that case to justify MMLP2 being a classic?

    And MMLP2 better than TES....holy mother of all yikes. I don't care how you spin it. 2002 Eminem was way better at hip hop than the awkward overly technical complicated flow 2013 Eminem. You're a blind Stan if you can't see that.


    Rant over.


    And I think he should respectfully bow out if his next album isn't up to par. Man has nothing to prove.

    And that over-produced, sell-out shitfest of brain dead punchlines isn't a classic either
