Do you think there are 25 Rap albums better than Recovery?

[Slim Fiasco]

Well, i was referring to you... provided you actually LISTENED to them and liked them rather than pick them out form some random website lol

Haha, yeah man, I have them in my collection. Though honestly, I'm more of a listener who sticks to listening to just a couple of albums per period (2 weeks to 3 months) because I want to "know" the albums by heart, and I have only given 1-2 listens to the majority of the albums I listed. But I do like them, so I guess that makes it OK, lol.

The reason you guys are so quick to say My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasty is worse than Recovery is because you guys are accustomed to Eminem's music. Whereas on KTT, they'll say the opposite. It's all opinion however, and it doesn't actually matter which album is better, more so which album is more enjoyable, to the listener of course.

And no, I cannot name 25 albums because I'm stuck listening to a small range of artists.

MC Skills on Recovery are better, that's what matters to us and most real rap listeners, not these stupid fans who like whatever's banging (Gucci Mane kind of music)...It's just common sense!

Cut the crap, "real" rap isn't a genre.
What's real to you might be real to someone else. And what's the matter with liking whoever's banging? As long as the person enjoys listening to the artist, then leave 'em alone.

This is one reason why TRShadian's annoy me.

Flaming for opinions! It's hip and cool these days!

So ignoring this retarded Kanye vs Eminem argument, Menzo and Revolutionary you guys both think that Recovery is a top 25 Hip Hop album of all time, correct?

Infinite, the slimshady lp, mmlp, the eminem show, encore (yes, even encore) relapse, relapse refill, bad meets evil, devils night, death is certain, independent'ts day, rockcity, slaughterHouse, it was written, illmatic, stillmatic, hiphop is dead, the chronic 2001, archetype, shock value 1, ti paper trail, the blue print, the blueprimt 2, the blue print 3, 8 mile soundtrack.

So in other words, no, you don't think there are 25 albums better than Recovery and instead of admitting it you just named a bunch of random albums, half of which you haven't even heard, from Shady affiliates and Nas/Jay Z's discogs.

And no, I cannot name 25 albums because I'm stuck listening to a small range of artists.

Story of TRShady's life.

Off the top of my head, I'd have to say it's in my top 25.

People saying Relapse is better is making me laugh. Not because I disagree, I love Relapse, but because they all hated Relapse when that's all they had left to listen to while waiting for Recovery. Recovery dropped and it was a classic. Now it's been overplayed by everyone and they need something else to hate. They haven't listened to Relapse in awhile so that's their shit again and it's a good album whereas the overplayed Recovery is now considered awful.

When Em's next album drops, people will revise their lists now including Recovery and it will be looked at as a top 25 rap album to them. The new album will suck after being called a classic. Happens every time.

True. Just wondering, did this happen to his first 3 albums? If not can you describe those cycles?

There had to be some early fans upset that he sold out and put "My Name Is" on the SSLP and left off "No One's Iller" and "Low, Down and Dirty".

He didn't really sell out with "My Name Is", the content was still pretty amusing. Eminem should have definitely replaced "My Fault" & "I'm Shady" with "Low, Down and Dirty" & "No One's Iller".

Theres more than 25. Recovery is not even in his own top 3.
