Yela's #2 Favorite Album - The Marshall Mathers LP

[2PointOBoy]

"With this particular project I think Marshall broadened where people thought he could go. As a songwriter & as an MC he exemplified the difference between the MC & a worldwide voice. He did records on that particular album that pulled you outside of 'The Slim Shady LP'. It took you somewhere else, & l think that's really hard to do for any MC—to make that bridge. He did it perfectly."

Kinds bugs me that he calls Eminem Marshall, tbh. Other than that, I liked everything he said.

No shock at all.

It's clearly one of the most phenomenal recordings of all time.

I've never heard of 3/4 of those albums.

Although OutKast's Aquemini at #3 is nice. That album is awesome from the production, lyrics, varied content, flows.

I love how Primus's Pork Soda is on the list. Creepiest album I've ever heard. I can hear Primus influence on the beat to Slumerican Shitizen

MMLP is one of my favourite albums of all time, Yelawolf's got good taste.

U jelly?

Em's best album. It really had an impact on the Music industry (and the world).

LOL why? They know each other personally, they work together. It'd be weird if he didn't call him by his first name.

I bet he'll say he likes Relapse too in an another Interview.

The Marshall Mathers LP IMO is the greatest album of our entire generation.

The Eminem Show was fucking tight and all.. and very close, although completely different.. but I've been listening to Eminem long enough to have anticipated the release of the Eminem Show and I was actually disappointed by it after listening to the MMLP for nearly 2 years before it. It was awesome, but I felt like Eminem had changed, which he had. That being said, TES was also one of the greatest albums of our generation, but the Marshall Mathers LP was out of this world.

The Marshall Mathers LP is the work of a genius.

The Slim Shady LP is a classic and The Eminem Show (is fantastic ) - na, The Eminem Show, I think is his best musically and lyrically...

But The Marshall Mathers LP is the greatest piece of musical art I've ever heard.

MMLP is a classic just because of the fact that Eminem managed to dare and say things that everyone could relate to and always wanted to say it, but no other Rapper dared to that.

The entire album was also giving the media everything they labeled him as. Such a smart move.

Its concept is genius.

Literally becoming everything he was accused of and amplifying it and just embodying every criticism to the nth degree for entertainment... that's a real artist.

All these years later and many still don't truly get it.

That's what great Artist's have done all the time, taking the pun's on themselves without giving a fuck of what the world would say.

You guys should check out the full top 25 list. Yela had the best selection out of any of the new rappers that did the interview, though be prepared for many many many non rap albums.
