Well, I don't agree that he seemed desperate on Recovery. I mean, I can understand if you mean with his production but none of his content was sacrificed by any means. His artistic integrity remains intact after Recovery, despite the excessive hate on this forum, the general music fans like it cuz it feels like an Eminem album - WHICH also bugs me a little bit, that's what Recovery seems like...just a "regular Eminem album" with the typical jokes, aggression, emotion and fucking around.
The production of Relapse was leagues ahead of Recovery, no doubt, Dre's the best to do it. But like I said before, shit beat or not, his lyrics and content were on point. You gotta admit, when Relapse came out, we were expecting emotion or SOMETHING recollective of his previous 5 year hiatus (Which he DID touch upon beautifully in Deja Vu and Beautiful) but for the most part, he was emotionless on Relapse - in the zone of a serial killing, pill popping addict in all fairness though.

I sure fuckin hope so manThe fact that he's with Slaughterhouse and Yela more often also helps, we saw good direction with the production on H:TS and it can only hopefully get better.
D12 will also help, they've always had dope beats they rap on.

I didn't know you was from Iowa, duder.
His most recent album, Recovery, was the best-selling album of 2010 and arguably the strongest work of his career.

But I'm just PISSED that LIL WAYNE is among those great and a double slap he is on the COVER. I can't find ONE wayne song that i like...im so serious...i cant even appreciate him as a artist

Yeah, I like that song too.
Wayne has got a few songs out atm that I like. For example, Look At Me Now, I'm Into You, I'm On One, Motivation and Red Nation.

He came out that time and lost himself in the music again, the same way he had when he was 12, after years of bouncing from school to school. "I'm just this shy kid," he remembers, slipping into the glowering, rapid-fire intensity of his best rhymes. "And I get thrown into a classroom with more people I don't know, and I'm going into my shell and I'm worried about how my shoes are bummy as fuck and I'm wearing Salvation Army clothes, and these kids are behind me and they're making comments and whispering, and I don't really know that they're talking about my clothes but I feel like they are, and they're talking about my haircut. I don't even know how to speak up for myself, because I don't really have a father who would give me the confidence or advice. And if you're always the new kid, you never get a chance to adapt, so your confidence is just zilch. You're thrown out there to the fucking wolves. Hence when N.W.A starts saying Fuck you to the police and to everybody—'Fuck you who doubted me'—holy shit, I want to say that."

I like his hook on My Life with Game.

I think you're confusing "best work" and "strongest work". The journalist used that wording for a reason. If he meant best, he would've said best. I think what he saw trying to say is that Recovery is his strongest album in terms of his mental state, in terms of Em being strong enough to overcome his 90 pill-a-day addiction [holy shit, by the way. I know we've all heard the numbers before, but it still blows me away that he's alive] and Em just generally being triumphant. It might not be what you think about Recovery, but I'd bet money that's what the journalist was thinking of when he wrote that.
