That is the thing for me. Big Sean doing a feature is hot. Him on a an entire song puts me to sleep. Maybe the production on the album will be enough to overcome that for me. But 20 tracks? That is crazy.
I watch this all the time for Meth over Yonkers. Gotdamn. Both verses are fucking FIRE.

Meth does so good on that red nation beat.
Also worst verse in 1train is Joey badass, yelawolf and Kendrick. I'd like to cut those out

Kendrick's verse is good idk what u talking about, but yeah Yela's is the worst with joey's trailing. Danny has the best verse followed by A$AP, Krit, and Bronson

Joey Badass is horrible on 1Train. The last time I legitimately liked a verse of his was probably on the track he did with DJ Premier. He's been rapping super lazy lately. I'm starting to think all that dope production on 1999 carried him...
Summer Knights is meh too

Always really liked Relapse a lot of it has to do with Dre's production though. MMLP > ES > SSLP.
He had a grip of dope features and freestyles early in his career. His features with the Outsidaz and Thirstin Howl were on point. Really dug the freestyles he used to do with Proof and Royce. Love his old shit. After 8 Mile he went down in quality tho, IMO. But I feel he does rap some quality shit every now and then.

Slim Shady EP/LP, Marshall Mathers LP, and The Eminem Show, are all 100% listenable today. Em was on fire on a ton of those tracks. Not to mention the ton of freestyles, & the old Bad Meets Evil tracks. And the tracks he had on the 8 MIle soundtrack.
After that though..........

MAN DID YOU HEAR NO LOVE? EM SNAPPED ON THAT TRACK, BEST RAP VERSE OF ALL TIME
Kendrick has a dope verse. Other 2 are pretty bad.

I hate Talking To Myself. The only tracks I'd even consider going back to on Recovery are Seduction, and No Love. Relapse is a better album if only for the production. Dre actually did work on there.
It's a good verse though. Off Topic and everyone else treating it like the best thing ever is annoying though.

Em's old stuff isn't dated. It's just that his style of rappity rap isn't en vogue right now. In 10 years the fetuses of today will be discovering SSLP and talking about how great it is.

Encore gets too much flack, it is pretty good. And the Em show MMLP SS = epic amounts of dope shit
Vado's failing is entirely his fault. He could've had B grade money. Now he'll make D grade money forever. His time is waaaay over. I thought he'd be something back in 2010 after he got some shine from magazines.

I never said they weren't. Everything after Em show sucks. That's what I'm talking about.

But there is a Nas cycle and everything after Illmatic is shaky so it's only fair..
Nah he had some hype around the time of the XXL Freshman 2010 cover when he didnt make it and he crashed the show and everyone went crazy for him over any one else there.

Hmmm I don't think Em has enough L's to compete with Nas doe, but fair enough.
I don't even listen to anything after em show.
Only albums I have copies of are his first tree.
Eminem Show > MMLP > Slim shady

No, MMLP is super dated. He went too hard on the pop culture referencing at the time. Most of the tracks on there feel very time capsule-ish. Out of all of Em's earlier work its the one I go back to the least and It was peak Em for me the time it came out.
Toku's Em Ranking:
SSLP > Eminem Show > Relapse/MMLP >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Recovery
(Should be noted that I can be a bit of an Em apologist at times. SSLP meant a lot to me, very important album in the development of baby toku. Brain Damage the best song Eminem has ever recorded.)

Music is an encapsulation of its time. Cube dropped Lakers vs Supersonics. That doesn't make that song any less amazing for what it is. Pac talked a bunch about mobile phones. Times change the nature of how we view the references made but the quality isn't diminished because that time has passed.
EDIT: Oh, Em cycle?

Quality is diminished bro. It's a rotten apples with maggots in it

Classic sports stuff is one thing but every other song Em is dropping bars about Britney Spears and Backstreet Boys on MMLP. Its like a strange Weird Al record a lot of the time.

Product of the time. When music is about a reflection of self and about the world around you, as rap is want to be, there will always be pop culture references. Every rapper does this. We mad at Biggie name dropping Sega and SNES too? Songs are frozen in a moment of time, it's silly to think less of them because they're not updated like some George Lucas abomination.

I think the Jadakiss and Beanie Sigel beef was one of the greatest in hip-hop. The back and forth was legendary. I think Beans diss was better. What do you guys think?

I like Relapse enough to put it in his top 3. I abused that album. That's how many times I played it

It was. I think the hardest diss came from Jada's camp. Styles was wildn with some of the shit he was saying.

I've cooled on Recovery myself but that's mainly because he yells through the album. Same problem I had on Relapse with the accent. Bits and pieces of those variations sprinkled here and there work but not whole album worth.
That said off of Recovery Talking to Myself, Changes, Cinderella Man, No Love, and Almost Famous are awesome songs. Similarly take 4-5 songs from Relapse and combine them into one album and you have a great album. Dre's production on Relapse was great. Hope whatever this new project is has a Dre production with normal voice Em without yelling or accents every track.
