I'm interested to hear why you think his music is not worthy of merit from this time period

Smack That, Drama Setter, We Ain't, Lloyd Banks - Hands Up, did alright for a "cheap sounding" era (Snap/ringtone era)

His fat sounding voice from this period is lit

u forgetting his magnum opus

For every 1 kinda decent song theres 7 piles of dog s***

I don't understand how people can hate on this but then listen to the accents on Relapse (And on relapse it's there the entire album)

Still better than anything he made post 2010

People hate on Smack that? That's news to me, massive chune imo

That might be the exception but it's indicative of his sound from this period

dat king mathers flow his best

coulda been the #mumblerapGOAT

sounding like ye when he got his jaws wired shut

Him saying "this s*** is too easy" after I just spent an excruciating few minutes listening to this. Feels like he's taunting me

Beautiful N. Deja vu don’t have it Elevator as well

Loved this song

posting this because the legendary Hit-Boy dropped a new joint

This song is so bad it’s good.

i thought it was agreed this was peak em and 2009-now was mid?

Prob cause encore was a weak follow up after his first 3 albums

Wasn't there a thread recently celebrating Smack That

2007 Em 🔥

He made novelty music at this point

There was no feeling in any of it, they didn’t even sound like songs most the time just weird d***ged out concepts or jingles

His music sounded like the equivalent of those bobble head pitbulls people used to have on the front of their dash, funny at first but easily became outdated and corny

I had successfully wiped this from my memory jesus what the f***

It's insane which songs get the shine at this time for Em cause it actually has some of the best music he ever released

I'm sure most people know this already but if you look into the backstory of this album, all the songs that leaked in 2003 were planned to be on the album. He had to put them on the bonus disc

He dropped a full second album with D12 the same year that released in early 2004 and they were shooting videos / promoting this while he was still working on his next album

And then he ended up saving this song as a single for the greatest hits album the next year

Encore got pushed to November 2004 which was the first time any of his albums came out that late. They usually dropped in spring

It really was a combination of overworking, crunch time and d*** use

Screaming in the mic and clunky beats

was the " apple, strawberry, pineapple orange" song, I know I'm getting it wrong, but, was that an encore song?
