Can we all agree that Encore is Eminem's worst album?

I think there's a serious arguement to be made that Rap God might be the best song he's ever made, so I don't get this.

Except it's a bad song filled with forced multi's and weak easy rhymes. There are some technically okay lines but it's all ruined by his voice and annoying flow that operate like running paragraphs.

Every eminem song now:

Going to the store for some chips, and
looking for a particular milk brand
came across a little kid holding a big pan
slammed it over my head, so i grabbed his hand
and threw him at the wall, saw the blood ruin all the walls
it was like a work of art, guess you could call me Rembrandt
and say what you want, i'm BACK as a lyrical KING!!!
with minimal BLING, i don't give a shit what you THINK
now listen to me SING, about my affinity for the DRINK
just kiddING, i prefer drugs

Then he goes on another tangent about something else, continues to use annoying yelling voice. If he says all of this fast people will think it's impressive.

Kinda plan on it, but I was going to get to the rest of the new album first.
But, on a serious note, I don't really get the emotional stuff, so for me, to my own personaly entertainment, eminem's better when he's being funny, [or darkly ironic?].
So... Toy Soldiers< Stan kinda thing for me.
That's kinda my experience.
But like I said, I haven't heard a track I didn't like yet.

You definitely should, SSLP and MMLP are exactly that, except maybe a song or two.
 
I couldn't vouch for a single album in its entirety really. He makes some awesome singles but none of his albums were good all the way through.

That said, Relapse was probably the worst.

This reminds me of him dismissing criticism of Encore on a track and saying it'll be highly regarded within a few years:

You either loved it or hate it,
Every cd critics gave it a 3,
And then 3 years later they'd go back and re-rate it
And called the Slim Shady LP the greatest,
The Marshall Mathers was a classic,
The Eminem Show was fantastic
But Encore just didn't have the calibre to match it,
I guess enough time just ain't passed yet
A couple more years that shit'll be illmatic

lol

These guys gave Yeezus 9.5.

Eminem said it well in 1999 - critics hate him but he doesn't give a f.

SSLP - MMLP - TES are amongst the top 30 (2 of these are arguably top 10) rap albums of all time, and yet not one of them has a higher metacritic score than 78.

god damn... I liked black skinhead, but the rest of that album is garbage. I felt like I was listening to something a kid wrote, lol. Hell, skinhead isn't even that good.

because theyre fucking absolute trash, i hate pitchfork but the 4.7 should be a 1.7.

top 10 all time?!

youre high right now arent you?
 
His only good albums are the first two, wouldn't bother with anything after that.
 
im not gonna sit here and say he didnt "change the game", "pay dues" or show incredible talent, but i will say he has never put out a classic album,

even get rich or die trying is better than anything he's ever put together, even if i can admit Em is the more talented rapper of the two, his albums still suck

2 top 10? Rofl

I love Em but let's not get ridiculous

Also Relaspe and Recovery are both worse than Encore to me...

As a person? Yes, awful homophobic, misogynist trash. That being said I do like a lot of his earlier work. He will never see another dime from me though, and definitely not listening to his new album. Sounds like I'm not missing out on much anyway.

Yeezus 9.5 vs. MMLP2 4.7 sounds about right, since Yeezus is at least twice as good (if we're being charitable).

I can't find the sense in this post.
 
Yeezus was a garbage album, only got good reviews as it was from Kanye.
 
pop GAF and GAF Hop colliding itt

but yeah lol at pitchfork. whenever they hand out bad reviews its because they hate the person who made the music. no credibility whatsoever
 
Why it gotta be Stans vs Anti-Stans in every Em thread? He released a solid record with some duds sprinkled in it. It ain't no abstract introspective masterpiece from an artist off Rhymesayers, but it's not Recovery neither.
