My dude, you now have not one, but TWO Em albums ranked ahead of The Marshall Mathers LP?!

Fuckin' Dr. Dre. does it to me every time. Seemingly basic beats that don't seem THAT special on the first few listens, then you find yourself later humming the music all day long. Right now, "Hello" is getting a lot of play from me.

These are my exact sentiments. The singles have been crap compared to what's actually on the album. The "Paul" skit really had me LOL at work today. The production is fantastic.. a lot of solid beats, and prime Em lyrics. It's really a great CD.

This video is pretty sick-

Yes, because all adults write blogs about whether or not they should fight someone. And then decide that the way to solve an issue of words is with physical violence. Yes, very adult of him.

I'll get flack for this, but after so long now since I listened to The Real Slim Shady day and night in April and May of 2000 and The Way I Am infiltrated my brain along with Stan during the Fall of that year as well, I really would rank it near the bottom of my list. One of the greatest hip-hop albums of all-time without a second thought, but The Slim Shady LP is by far my favorite Em album. The raw production mixed with the mini-stories in each song just blows me away even till this day.

Second before Relapse came out was The Eminem Show. It was a grittier and more politically charged album but I enjoyed the songs and the CD as a whole a lot more than MMLP. I'm also in the small minority that really liked Encore - not my favorite of his obviously, but I think it was unique in a different way that to this day when I still listen to it has me questioning whether or not it's an Eminem album.

Now I'd rank it as:

1) The Slim Shady LP
2) Relapse
3) The Eminem Show
4) The Marshall Mathers LP
5) Encore

I also really enjoy The Re-Up but that's not a "true" Eminem album. I'd say Encore and MMLP are neck and neck though. I just think a lot of the songs were good, some great (The Way I Am for example), but as time has gone on it really has nothing in comparison with his other stuff. That's just me though since most fans of his I know consider MMLP to be the ultimate in his music.

my ranking:

1. The Eminem Show
2. The Slim Shady LP
3. Relapse/The Marshall Mathers LP - TIE
5. Encore

I'm super hyped for this. I'm liking the singles, which is odd because as the past showed us, his singles are always the weaker links of the albums. From what it sounds like after reading some posts here, the album is solid.

Wow, I know it is your opinion and all, but wow. I like some songs on Encore, but others are unlistenable to me (A** like that, Big Weenie, Puke, My 1st Single). Only track on MMLP I don't like is Kim. I would put Slim Shady LP first though as well.

"Beautiful" is a great track. very "Stan" -esque. who is doing the singing?

This one-

Reaching out by Paul Rodgers and maybe queen depending on where Em is grabbing it from.

Kim is actually one of the only songs on MMLP that I still enjoy. Amityville, Kim, The Kids (on the 2-disc release and clean version), Stan, and The Way I Am are the only ones I can say are still solid. Encore ranks about the same, but had more songs I liked. Just my taste I guess. Kind of different, too, since I enjoy dark Eminem/Slim Shady than I do his "whacky" or goofy songs.

thanks.

Em will be doing some stuff on sirius/xm if interested.

and he's on Kimmel tonight too.

...of course the beats are tight, It's all produced [except one] by MUTHAFUCKIN' DRE!... can't wait to her the album.

So Em himself posted two Bonus Tracks on 50's website today. There will be a code available with the purchase of the album to download them when it officially comes out on Tuesday.

Eminem on Jimmy Kimmel Live http://www.aftermathmusic.com/blog/?p=481

Cannot wait for tomorrow. This and Blackout 2 on the same day = .

Eminem should accept the challenge live on America's Got Talent, which Nick Cannon will be hosting this summer.

Yup. Great release day to be sure. Dare I say I am more excited about Blackout! 2. Best Buy advertised having a 2-Disc Deluxe Edition in case you didn't notice.

Blackout! 2 is pretty solid. I liked Relapse a lot better myself, but it's good.

I am ready for this. Encore sucked but The Eminem Show was amazing. Glad to hear this one is getting good reviews. I wonder if Detox is ever going to make it out.

Just picked it up. So far it sounds great.

This has probably been posted elsewhere but ah well:

This is pretty bad. The only things that are good about this album are Dre's beats. I know Em can rap. So why doesn't he?
