Billboard's Top 10 Albums of 2010 (Critics' Picks)

[Berry]

I'm glad ThomasJ & k block chose to waste their life regularly posting on a site of an artist that they don't like anymore & now portray negativity towards that certain artist. Honestly, I find this encouraging cause that means that they have no life & rather would huddle together in this tiny hip hop section when there are other massive general hip hop sites that they can go join.

However, this means that the w1gger power is strong here & you feel comfortable here. but, that shouldn't stop you from moving on guys.

Listen to Joe budden, he'll help you through your depression.

Although you may never leave the eminem section, since I've never seen you before, this forum is much more than just stans (like yourself). Infact, I'd say that a good 90% of this forum will tell you exactly what we've been telling you.
I think it's cute that you devoted your time to make a big sarcastic post about nothing, but we can all tell how angry you are... I think we see who's the one suffering from depression here. Amirite?

At any rate, I wouldn't call 800 posts in 4.5 years "wasting" my life. Well, that and the fact I just got an offer from a record label... But yeah, whatever floats your boat buddy.

Lyrics, flow, rhymes, delivery > beats. I'm sure most would agree with me.

Well you'd be wrong, if that's how you feel, you may as well have them rap on acapella. Bis' first album had all the aspects of a great emcee, but the production was horrid so it flopped.

Well, in that case let's get Dr. Dre, RZA, Kanye, Dj Khalil and Premo to produce a Waka Flocka & Gucci Mane collabo album. I'm sure the beats alone will make it a classic despite everything else will be atrocious.

Nice try on trying to twist my words. I said, I don't care if he SAID that RELAPSE is TRASH. In my opinion it's not. Me and Eminem don't share the same opinion. Is that understandable for you? Is that easy enough to understand? If Nas said that Illmatic is trash tomorrow, should I delete the Illmatic songs off my iTunes? NOOOOOO. And don't try to yet again twist my words and say that I'm comparing Relapse with Illmatic.

No he was just giving an example trying to knock some sense into you, by showing even the artist doesn't acknowledge it as one of his finer works.
We already know it's not going to change your mind, so don't even try and go there.

Ok but if I did care what Eminem said about his album, "I wouldn't have my own taste". Just like he told me to have at the end which is kind of a contradiction but whatever.

He was giving an example don't try to twist his words

Irony yet again.

Explain

You twisted my words yet you tell me to not twist his words

That's a bold statement, hope you can back up why think that.

It hasn't gotten ONE bad review and most of the reviews, about 3/4 of 'em are 5 fucking stars. I mean really? Pitchfork has them as the best album of 2010 and so does MTV. And MTV named him the Man of the Year. It has reviews calling it a fucking MASTERPIECE and it was released a month ago. You have to let an album sink in before such a statement. "BUT IT'S A GOOD ALBUM!!!!!!". Exactly and that's just what it is, a G.O.O.D. album, nothing else.

Instead of being butthurt about the positive feedback it's getting why don't you elaborate on why you think it's not great. And really reviews mean dick, he even said you should form YOUR own opinion and not let others influence you. And being how you refuse to appeal to authority of Em, you should have no trouble appealing to the authority of reviewers and critics.

Overrated albums would be Lifestylez of da poor and Dangerous, Ready to die, and illmatic to an extent. No overrated doesn't equal bad.

You want me to elaborate on why I think it's not that great? Ok. I've already said it. Kanye barely raps, it's like a more hip-hop oriented 808s & Heartbreak and when he does it's really nothing special. Too many features. Too many 5+ minutes track, some that waste those extra minutes with either autotune (Runaway), singing over and over the same lyrics (Monster), or with a boring skit (Blame Game). With that said Blame Game is extremely repetitive and Devil In A New Dress is so boring, Rock Ross did decent but nothing special unlike some people praise it as. Too much singing. The only good things are the beats (So Appalled, Lost In The World) & some times the singing can be pleasent.

That's cause it's a great album not a classic by any means but he deserves the praise he's getting don't you think?

There are so many great albums that came out this year, some better than MBDTF. Where's the praise for those albums? Where are the critics giving it countless fives? Not that the critics' opinions matter but it's annoying that people are constantly on his dick like he cured AIDS or something.

Lol at you retorting MBDTF with MMLP, that's like me comparing College Dropout and Late Registration to Relapse and Recovery.

It's not like comparing Relapse & Recovery to College Dropout & LR is an unfair comparison so I don't know how that's similar to an MMLP & MBDTF when MMLP shits and stomps on MBDTF

Relapse isn't anything special either but it is better than MBDTF for me. Kanye IS a great artist. Kanye IS branching out to more than just rapping. Never said that. MY argument here is STRICTLY MBDTF and the Ye dickriding.

Please point them out.

Point what out?

The last part of your post is pure ignorance or Em stanning, Nas and Jay are definitely on his level if not better (Current Nas is definitely better than current Em), and don't even make me bring up Andre, Ghostface, Raekwon, Scarface, etc.

Now if you mean post 2000 rappers than it makes more sense, but even that's disputable Kanye I consider is on the same level as musically (equal discography leaning towards Ye) and Lupe who shits on new Em and can give prime Em a run for his money.

Jay-Z dropped BP3 which is a bad album so no. Nas to me is a fantastic rapper but he is not better than current Em. (and no that's not stanning, I just enjoy Eminem more than Nas and I think Eminem is still a very skilled emcee. Problem?). Andre hasn't been in the spotlight or dropeed a solo album or anything with Outkast so you can't include him. Scarface? hasn't been good since The Fix. Raekwon & Ghostface are not better than Eminem today or in his prime. I still don't get people saying Eminem fell off? Sure Relapse & Recovery aren't as good as SSLP, MMLP & TES but dammit his music is still quality but people like to compare them to his past classics which is incredibly unfair to his newer albums.

Inb4 stan.

I cannot reply to this topic any longer. There is way too much dick sucking going on. This topic should be named, "Come suck Eminem's dick even though he's turned into a terrible rapper."

Well, in that case let's get Dr. Dre, RZA, Kanye, Dj Khalil and Premo to produce a Waka Flocka & Gucci Mane collabo album. I'm sure the beats alone will make it a classic despite everything else will be atrocious.

Strawman and false dichotomy never did I say that the emcee's performance should be abandoned in favor of beats(I said they're both equally important), and who says you can't have both good beats and performance. And lol at you comparing Kanye's skill to smucks like Gucci Mane and Wacka Flock.

Ok but if I did care what Eminem said about his album, "I wouldn't have my own taste". Just like he told me to have at the end which is kind of a contradiction but whatever.

Yeah fine whatever, I think we all got caught up in semantics in that part.

You twisted my words yet you tell me to not twist his words

Show me how I twisted your words, if I misintepreted than I apologize.

You want me to elaborate on why I think it's not that great? Ok. I've already said it. Kanye barely raps, it's like a more hip-hop oriented 808s & Heartbreak and when he does it's really nothing special. Too many features.

What's your point if it's a good album it's a good album, shit I'm not even talking about Hip Hop I'm talking about music as a whole.

Too many 5+ minutes track, some that waste those extra minutes with either autotune (Runaway), singing over and over the same lyrics (Monster), or with a boring skit (Blame Game).

And? SSLP and MMLP had a bunch of retarded skits.

With that said Blame Game is extremely repetitive and Devil In A New Dress is so boring, Rock Ross did decent but nothing special unlike some people praise it as. Too much singing. The only good things are the beats (So Appalled, Lost In The World) & some times the singing can be pleasent.

I'll at least give you effort for this, and again saying the "only" good thing are the beats is like me saying the only good thing is the rapping

There are so many great albums that came out this year, some better than MBDTF. Where's the praise for those albums? Where are the critics giving it countless fives? Not that the critics' opinions matter but it's annoying that people are constantly on his dick like he cured AIDS or something.

Name the rap mainstream albums (not undergound or any other genre) that are better than MBDTF. And no not Recovery, we'd be going in circles.

It's not like comparing Relapse & Recovery to College Dropout & LR is an unfair comparison so I don't know how that's similar to an MMLP & MBDTF when MMLP shits and stomps on MBDTF

Wow just wow, Relapse and Recovery on the same vein as College dropout and LR.

Point what out?

The Ye dickriding, and no I don't count so don't be a wise guy

Jay-Z dropped BP3 which is a bad album so no.

Better than relapse that's for sure and he's been consistant far more than Em.

Nas to me is a fantastic rapper but he is not better than current Em. (and no that's not stanning, I just enjoy Eminem more than Nas and I think Eminem is still a very skilled emcee. Problem?).

No problem with you enjoying Em more but yes Nas has been more consistant than Em recently HHID and Untitled are definitely better than Encore and Relapse. Haven't really listened to his new album though.

Andre hasn't been in the spotlight or dropeed a solo album or anything with Outkast so you can't include him.

Who cares that dude dropped 4 consecutive great-classic albums and not one garbage or even mediocore album.

Scarface? hasn't been good since The Fix.

This I'll give you

Raekwon

Have you even heard of OB4CL2? Granted he's dropped a ton of flops but since we're talking about recently...

Ghostface are not better than Eminem today or in his prime.

What are you talking about? Ghostface has only dropped one trash album in his long and prolific career. He is THE most consistant mainstream rapper. His only trash allbum was Ghostdini, and considering the size of catalagoue counting solo and collabartion albums that's fucking impressive.

I still don't get people saying Eminem fell off? Sure Relapse & Recovery aren't as good as SSLP, MMLP & TES but dammit his music is still quality but people like to compare them to his past classics which is incredibly unfair to his newer albums.

People don't just do this to Em they do this to Jay, Nas ("no album can ever be better than illmatic" anyone?), Mobb Deep (everyone crying that they fell off and can't produce an album even close to Murda Muzik), any artist who dropped a classic in their debut is going to have their new shit compared to their old shit that's just how it is.

And Ghostface and Andre are still near their "prime".

[TheKanza]

whats up with every one hating on relapse anyway... i like it summit to listen to when you're up for a laugh

[momentisgolden]

Wow, this topic just spirals with no direction! Wont even bother attempting to answer every point but to OP- Em deserves to be on that list. Using Thank Me Later as a barometer (agreed i dont like Rick coz of Blogs and Kanye has a great album)

But guess the best way someone put it is....

People don't just do this to Em they do this to Jay, Nas ("no album can ever be better than illmatic" anyone?), Mobb Deep (everyone crying that they fell off and can't produce an album even close to Murda Muzik), any artist who dropped a classic in their debut is going to have their new shit compared to their old shit that's just how it is.

And not only THEIR old stuff but the Ghostface, Raekwon, Pac, Andre etc get compared to old albums from those artists. In the CURRENT mainstream music scene, i think Recovery holds its own
