I was there.
One of my first album at 13yo. This and 2001 put me into rap basically.

Is there a interesting rap facts thread cause there should be, this amazing

The skits on this and 2001 make them impossible to listen too entirely in a lot of situations... these would make me feel uncomfortable around anybody.
Éven though they are goated obv

Very cool fact indeed !

My opinion on the TLOP thing is lowkey that it’s a borderline made up concept to justify how uneven and inconsistent the album is and it allows the listener to kind of let go of the idea of cohesion and accept it as a more “conflicted” piece

Not to say it’s complete nonsense but kind of like you said, sometimes the way we look at art changes it for us and that concept of conflict is a way of looking at TLOP that makes it make some sense

Not even to nitpick your comparison because it’s valid. But the thing about MMLP in comparison is I feel like even just from listening, you can basically catch up to what’s happening because it’s there in the lyrics. That’s where lyrics come in, not in comparing their lyrical prowess but just the fact that em communicates so much more and so much more clearly and provides the context and framing basically in the music and doesn’t require as much squinting at it to get it imo

I feel you.

Solid discussion overall.

in hindsight this was a big drop off in quality from the slim shady lp

I murder a rhyme
One word at a time
You never
Heard a mind as perverted as mine

Pause 4 p***o will get you in trouble

wholesome

?

My important album in my life as it infected me as a child. I still walk around the house rapping every word to Kill You as the flow can be so mailable and fun

@Eminem You know you f***ed up, right?

Kill You and I'm Back are so hard

Isn't this like sorta almost any album by an artist, when they hit fame, that they become self therapists and start talking to the men in the mirror as if it's the Green Goblin talking in the mirror to Osborne?
The balance, identity, ur roots, the fame, the mania, your family, the who are u truly?

Em’s anniversary releases are always underwhelming af lol

i prefer this album to the eminem show, ever so slightly

F*** Paul bruh

Used to be that way for me but as years went on TES surpassed

Everybody and their grandma had MMLP. I've still never seen anything else blow up like this album.

Should have added The Kids to the streaming version

this one is new levels of underwhelming lol
