Rank Eminem's albums

[Zhadeix]

Let's just get real for a second.
Putting Infinite above his previous albums is bullshit. And here's why:
Infinite was out out in '96, and as both Em and Paul has stated, it's a flop.
It sold very few units, and it's not THAT good.
I get that all of you like the old Em a lot more, and because of that you put Infinite in your list.
Because let's face it, that album is whack compared to newer albums when you count in wordplay, lyrics, syllables, etc.
Now Infinite had some really dope beats, but it ain't worth taking place over let's say MMLP2, Relapse etc.
Just my opinion though, feel free to argue without Stan-raging on me.

[Zhadeix]

Anyways, here's my list. (In order)

1. MMLP (Favorite album of all time)
2. TES (Amazing album, I love the flow)
3. SSLP (Love this one)
4. MMLP2 (You can't say this album ain't dope as fuck)
5. SSEP (I don't know if this counts but man, I love No One's Iller)
6. Relapse (I don't mind the accents)
7. BME: Hell the Sequel (Not a solo album but fuck it)
8. Recovery (It's aight)
9. Encore

Not mentioning Infinite because this was before he found his style.

Let's just get real for a second.
Putting Infinite above his previous albums is bullshit. And here's why:
It doesnt sound like Eminem and he didnt find himself yet. Sure its got tight lyrics on some joints, but its not Eminem, he just hasnt found himself yet.

Fixed this for ya

[shadyblogger]

I'm going to create colorful ass list with all his projects and my ratings once Shady XV drops. Shit finna be real

Should be cool

[Jaba]

The Eminem Show (my favorite album all time. No flaws. Love every song. Also my first Em album EVER. Classic)
The Marshall Mathers LP (Amazing album. I respect every song as a 10 for creativity. But some songs I just cant find myself getting into. For example, i dont really care for Kim. And Amityville is just ehh for me. I really cant stand Bizarre) Classic album
The Slim Shady LP (Classic, Vintage Slim. I find myself loving every song off this. Its 3rd because even tho i like more songs on this than MMLP, MMLP's good songs are just WAY fucking better. Classic)
Relapse/Refill (Em did what HE wanted to do on this. No radio shit or anything. Tbh sounds like an underground album. Fucking amazing. Em's most recent and 4th Classic IMO.)
The Marshall Mathers LP 2 (why is this so low? because as an ALBUM. It is Eminems 5th Best. This shit has some of Eminems best songs EVER. Its just not as good as an ALBUM as his others. I feel he made some bad decisions (Rihanna, STIW, also coulda put Don’t Front, baby, Groundhog day on this) and if he would have arranged things better it could have been better as a whole. but for me. its more of a clash of songs that round out with a good ending for the album. Still amazing tho)
Hell: The Sequel (every song on this i love. Eminem was really finding himself again and helped him back into his second prime he started on relapse and continued on MMLP2. Royce does amazing on this as well and even outshines em on a few songs. Would be higher if they didnt compromise a few single songs (cough cough lighters/chorus's for take from me)
Devil’s Night (D12 is entertaining and some of their shit is fire. Ems verses are all fucking amazing. Even the songs he isnt on i can listen to just cus their funny and sometimes good in general)
8 Mile Soundtrack (some of eminems BEST material is on here. Including his best song. But, he only has 5 tracks on this and the rest of the material besides a few things (EX; Wanksta, R.A.K.I.M) the rest of this album isnt too great. Thats why as an album its lower, but its also above some of his albums because Ems material on this was top-notch 10/10 shit ya know what im saying? )
Encore (Gets a LOT of hate. But I enjoy this album. Not as good as his first three. But still enjoyable. And the bad songs, I can find enjoyment in whether its cus of the comedy or the sick beats)
Recovery (had some great songs. but it also had a lot of meant to be radio songs. also had a lot of corny lines. i still enjoy this album tho. em was just rushed and sorta confused on what to do, it was good for what it was for tho)
The Slim Shady EP (the tape that got em discovered. also every track on here is fucking great! the remastered versions on sslp are better tho.)
The Re-Up (Em delivered some good tracks on here. some you can tell he is way drugged up cus of his slurrs and shit. not classic and probs the worst time to release a shady compilation but whatever its fun to listen to and a good album)
D12 World (wasnt as good as first. also em verses were just ehhhh and d12 didnt do too well either)
Curtain Call (The new tracks) (only 3 new tracks, they were funny [fack], ok [when im gone], and ok [shake that])
Infinite (great lyrically. BUT, em hasnt found himself on this one. Sounds a lot like AZ, Nas, and Q-Tip)

Ill make this colorful/add SHADYXV when it comes out.

Also i feel like this is like my final list. cus ive really explored other rap and ive taken some time off eminem music and when i went back to listening to eminem (since i wasnt listening to him constant anymore) it was easier to judge his albums instead of always changing my mind.

As of this day, after listening to Shady XV a few times, here's my honest opinions

Slim Shady LP: As pure as it can get, this was Eminem before there was money, fame, controversy, heavy drug use etc. This is the vision for it all, what made people believe in the guy, what transformed hip-hop from strictly black urban culture to what it is today.

Marshall Mathers LP: Comes close to beating SSLP, and it some ways it does. More dramatic, dark, grandiose, bigger guests, bigger budget. Eminem was a household name with plenty of controversy and the songs reflect it. But for me, I prefer the purity of SSLP

The Eminem Show: Perhaps Eminem's highest highs are on this album, but the cracks are also starting to show. I have bought every Eminem album on release day, and at the time I remember thinking some stuff like Say What You Say missing a little of that fire. Anger, sure but it did not evoke that fear that say Amityville did. A few other somewhat weaker tracks prevent this from beating the two "LPs".

Relapse: I anticipated this record like the coming of Christ. A bit silly and juvenile at points, but much darker once again.

Marshall Mathers LP 2: I would place this as a near tie with Recovery, which is only one or two percentage points down. I loved it at first but it fell hard and fast in the weeks after release. I skip about half the album these days. It just doesn't click with me

Recovery: There are some songs I despise, like LTWYL, and some I really like that even it out. Any love for this album is strictly based on memories from 2010

Infinite: Poor production value, but the hunger was there. A look into the life of a desperate man struggling to keep his family safe and fed. I WAS that guy at one point, so this hits home. It's a little tame but songs like It's OK are still favorites

Encore: The sheer disappointment of a die-hard fan after 6 years of worship...Just Lose it made me cringe when it hit airwaves and to this day, Mockingbird and the bonus songs are the only ones in constant rotation. I can get a laugh from some songs, however and like Recovery, these songs represent a very important time of my life

Shady XV: Why do I find Shady XV to be Em's worst material yet? Not worst, per se, it just does nothing for my personal amusement. I can't find it in me to enjoy his parts, I don't enjoy the beats, and the lyrics aren't connecting. I feel like I'm drinking light beer. In the end I have a slight buzz but I'm not fulfilled at all. Sorry Em, it's my honest feelings on the album. No disrespect and no hate, though. Make music for yourself even if a few fans aren't on board, and even then I'll buy every CD that you release.
