Thanks Brood!

[Fa-Q]

'99 forsure

[RapName]

'99, no doubt.
All those collabs were ill!

[Alaine]

99 - 00
I actually has his collabs listed by years too and I did notice that his collabs post 2001 really got nothing on those from 99-00. He was really on fire that time

[B.A.D.]

1999 or 2003

[M+M]

wheres Remember Me
I'll say 99 - 03 - 05 those 3 all have some great songs

[JotaMF]

99` hands down

[Devil'sAdvocate]

99` hands down

[EminemBase]

Hmmm...

Well, some of that 99' stuff is really just solo stuff that didn't get used.

Overall I'd probably say 2003. I think 02 / 03 was his lyrical peak. He was just on top of everything. He'd become a master of meshing and juggling all of his shades and making it sound authentic and undeniable.

I can understand how some could think it didn't have as much edge or grit to it but to be honest, I don't think he's really ever toned it down, just gotten better at presenting it. And the better he's got, the more polished it's sounded and therefore less... unpredictable and 'raw' in some respects.

So I know that the 99' stuff could sound tougher because of that. But 03 was magical.

I mean, all of his Cheers verses are just incredible. He stole the album.

[Bistnal]

If that list is accurate, then 1999 & 2000 .

[KillahBee]

'99 definitely for me

[classthe_king]

1999 by far

[Olorin]

2011, hopefully
