ok, so i know ive been known for changing my list a ton (even though lately i havent at all). but i need to change this right now. ive takin a break from em's work for a while, and been exploring others. but i just returned to em and listened 2 all his albums. i believe this is my final list.
THE MARSHALL MATHERS LP (greatest work rap has had, rhymes, flows, concept, cohesive, everything)
THE EMINEM SHOW (just a bit better than SSLP (the eminem show and the slim shady lp's rank can switch, but i think at the end of the day, if i had 2 choose, id choose tes), amazing work as well, one of the best albums all time.)
THE SLIM SHADY LP (i usually have this lower than MMLP2, but i really feel TES and SSLP are better because, i find i connect with it more and i love this album. it is also a lot more cohesive and sounds like a full amazing album you know? its perfect how it is. one of the best albums all time!)
THE MARSHALL MATHERS LP 2 (amazing album, shows that em is in his second prime. love it. wish it had been more of an "album" but still one of my favorites of all time)
RELAPSE (has a classic sound, brings back tons memories, i dont mind the accent i like it, fits the concept. great work here, modern classic)
ENCORE (this also brings back memories, FOR ME has a classic sound only because its nostalgic and reminds me of when i first heard eminem because this was (with TES) the first em album i heard, i cant remember which was first cus i was reallly young. thank my cousin chris for getting me into slim)
RECOVERY (great album, but not too good for eminem standards. has its moments, i enjoy listening because really this was the first album i waited til midnight to Dl and listen and then go to the store and buy. first album I REMEMBER listening to from front to back without skipping around 2 tracks that sounded amazing (this is when i got older, which is why its one of the first u know?) this also has a somewhat nostalgic feel but i find myself skipping a lot of tracks i loved back then now. i never listen to this front to back anymore)
INFINITE (just not as good as the others, still good, i enjoy infinite, open mic and its ok the best)
Thanks eminem for all these memories. this is probs my last list :P
Without description -
MMLP
TES
SSLP
MMLP2
RELAPSE

RECOVERY
INFINITE
Singin' "Bagpipes from Baghdad" again
In my dad's drag draggin' a faggot in a Glad bag
Won't be the last time I make a dramatic entrance like that again
You thought I was lyin' when I said I think that I'm crossin' the line again
I've lost my mind, caution oh God I think I've just thought of another fucking line
Forgive me father, for I have sinned
But hip hop has left me brainwashed with a violent streak
