Why is the MMLP the best album?

[flyingmonkey10]

So that's why I can't wait for his next album to see what topics he will deliver

FINALLY SOMEONE I CAN RELATE TO

But Recovery is so deep lyrically, Em has progressed lightyears with his flow and delivery since then.

Lightyears with his flow? What? He has this stop and start flow on Recovery and cus he doesnt write lineary (cept On Fire and LTWYL) it creates a choppy as hell flow - unnatural. His flow on his first 3 albums was so smooth and natural. Take his flow on Criminal, then his flow on 25 To Life - it's lightyears behind, not ahead.

And his delivery on Recovery is just forced shouting. First 3 CD's (and Relapse) had wayyy more variety.

The Same old bitching huh? you must be getting tired posting the same thing over & over again.

It's not bitching, it's a valid point that is made when people make stupid comments

Its hard for me to choose between The Slim Shady LP and The Marshall Mathers LP as Em's best album
For me, nothing on SSLP is skippable, whereas MMLP has Bizzare and D12 features

I think MMLP has higher highs than SSLP, but MMLP has its low points

In regards to TES, I personally don't think it touches either of those albums

[UofLCard]

There's nothing etched in stone saying which album is the best. Everyone has their views on it.

MMLP is just so raw, angry, controversial and comedic. My fave album

I agree with this.

[Omar Khalid]

imo TES > MMlp

[tross840]

nah Recovery ain't even in his top 3

The Marshall Mathers LP doesn't have skippable songs, they are awesome, from the singles (The Way I am, The Real Slim Shady, Stan, which are all classics, and the ''stan'' word being used till this day), to the Wacky songs (Under the Influence (which isn't too wacky btw), and Bitch Please II), to awesome non-single songs like Kill You, Kim (what artist can make a whole song screamin rhyming words and still like it). Drug Ballad and Amityville fuckin awesome too. I'm Back kinda stands out on the rest, it has 3 artistically complete verses! Who knew wasn't bad

listen to this: Eminem was gonna chose Who Knew as the first single of MMLP, but Interscope didn't like it being a single, and they wanted a wacky first single like My Name Is on SSLP, so he wrote ''The Real Slim Shady'' the day before the album got released.... and look what a hit it turned out to be and a classic too!!! Funny how a career got changed to the better by one single day!!!

Anyways, Marshall Mathers LP stands out as Eminem's best album. The Eminem Show had great singles, but the other songs were good but not great, Say what You Say, When the Music Stops,Drips... were good songs, but nothin close to those on the MMLP

The Slim Shady LP was one fuckin dope album, Better than TES in my opinion, the only bad thing in it, is that it has recycled songs from the Slim Shady EP, but who cares, they are still awesome, Cum On everybody, as the world turns, rock bottom, If i had, still don't give a fuck etc... these are what hip hop is!

Recovery is good yo, but nothin close to what he used to make, still though a step forward from Encore and Relapse, but anyways, it's logicall, you can't expect a 37 year old Eminem to write about the same topics, Imagine eminem now singing about being poor and broke as fuck, and still nagging about his mom, and imagine on his next album, doing the same as recovery and sayin how he broke free, He can't continue on the same basis, eople will lose interest...

So that's why I can't wait for his next album to see what topics he will deliver

I dont think i have ever agreed with anyone more in my life.

And to the guy who said if Em released MMLP in 2010 we would hate on it : MMLP was an absolutely brilliant album he basically took all is criticism and ran with it. Its all summed up in the intro to Criminal. Much of the album is spent addressing his rise to fame and attacking those who criticized his first album. And there was not any over the top celeb bashing...he mentions a couple of Celebs but it fits into the songs...Who Knew, Stan, Im Back, The Way i am are better than anything on Recovery/Relapse/Encore imo

Even the skits were brilliant...there is not a better skit/song combo than Steve Berman/The Way i am (Vanessa, shut the door!) ps. (The kiss/soldier skit on Em show is really good too)

There is a reason it was the fastest selling solo album ever...shit it sold fucking 1.7 mil copies first week...thats almost 2X platinum in a week.

MMLP is flawless imo. TEs falls short..thats when he started becoming a bit more commercial....though its incredibly dope
