People should give credit to Relapse because it's the album that introduce Eminem to Gen z generation , beautiful is literally one of my all time favorite songs
@@eliasmejia7862 Thats actually because it was recorded somewhere around 05-07 during the height of his druged up depression. And not during the out of rehab Relapse 08 sessions.
I don’t think u are familiar with most Eminem fans! We don’t really ask for that, but more for trap beats! But that’s some and we don’t want no boring ass Griselda beats. Em does whatever tf he wants to do
Love Eminem, definitely one of the greatest mcs of all time. You have to realize Eminem is now 49 years old . He’s had a lifetime of a career and still at it. Kudos to him .
@@culturevulture2850 Jay Z pops up on someone else's album once in a while but doesn't even drop much of his own stuff. If Eminem did that, he wouldn't be hated so much
The Eminem Show to me is objectively his best record. Mmlp definitely made the most controversy, but The Eminem Show is his most well-composed body of work. It contains his most personal, mature and introspective songwriting. The production was much more experimental than the first two and far less dated. The album is less satirical than the first two and ironically feels like the album that should me called “The Marshall Mathers lp” because it’s his most personal. Sing for the moment, hailies song, my dads gone crazy, cleaning out my closet, say goodbye Hollywood are some of his most introspective songs. It also his highest selling album. People often think it’s mmlp but nope. He also said he felt it was his best record so far so he even put it over the mathers lap. His best album easily. I love the first two albums but the Eminem show is his greatest, most mature and personal album. The personal songwriting, to having hailie on it to handling the production primarily himself, it sort of feels like the album that belongs to him the most. It’s the most him.
@@KaiJordan23 Haha objectivity is essentially an established set of subjectivity lmao. What I mean is I just feel like it has to be his masterpiece because sure it didn’t have the controversy of MMLP, but it’s his best song writing, most mature and introspective lyricism, less nasally voice. His best flow and delivery, his most timeless production. The best way I can put it is if his first three records were graded by a teacher I’m a class. Each one of those records was a final he had to take, then The Eminem Show would be the one he got the highest score on. It’s the best written, best produced, best composed, most personal, and it’s a record that he did primarily himself, so if all of his albums are his babies, this would be the one he put the most effort into raising. It’s the one that belongs to him the most. Hope that makes sense.
@@KaiJordan23 yeah man. Love that record. I adore it. I just feel The Eminem Show doesn’t get quite the same love because it lives in the shadow that the MMLP’s controversy cast, but it just feels like SSLP was em joking, being goofy. MMLP was him at his most angry and vicious, unfiltered with still a nice sense of humor. Whereas The Eminem Show is much more serious, personal and it just feels like we got to see the man behind the act that pulls the string for the Slim Shady alter ego. The first three albums are all classics to me though
Thank you for the Recovery appreciation. That was Eminem doing the pop-rap thing correctly. Quality beats, verses and hooks. All cohesive and every song made sense on the track list. I was cool with it back then (I was 15) and when I return to it I still love it. Number 4 or 5 for me.
@@NFRPodcast recovery and encore are both better than Relapse to me. Encore hate on the internet is baffling to me. That is my fourth favorite Eminem album behind TES, MMLP & SSLP.
For me it isnt correctly! The vibe is the most importent thing for me in Hip Hop and I cant vibe with Eminem screaming his soul out of himself and the pop hooks make it worse for me.
This might be controversial but relapse is my favorite Eminem album. I like how crazy and different that album is compared to his others. MMlp being a close 2nd.
It’s not controversial when you say it’s your favorite, that’s what you like and enjoy the most, now if you said if that it is his best then that would be controversial lol, but Relapse is dope some of his best flows and wordplay, with experimental Sounds. Such a dope album
TES to me is probably the album with the greatest singles in any music genre. It rarely happens that the singles are my favorite tracks, but with TES it's different. I mean, "Sing for the Moment" and "Cleanin' out my Closet" are in my all-time top 3 Em songs, and "Superman" is in my top 10. And "Without Me" was such a perfect first single, to me personally the best one out of all his "goofy" first singles. I really can't think of another album that had such strong singles. The only one that comes close is MMLP lol. P.S.: I'd love to see you guys ranking Outkast's discography. I believe they have the greatest discography in hip hop and my personal ranking pretty much changes every week.
Honestly it is my favorite album too along with Relapse. There is literally no song in TES I don’t like. White America, Business, Cleanin’ out my closet, square dance (super underrated), Business, Soldier, Say Goodbye Hollywood, Drips (oddly underrated), Without Me, Sing For The Moment, Superman, Hailie’s Song, WTMS, Say What You Say, Till I Collapse, My Dad’s Gone Crazy. Damn I literally said every song.
@@lewis-dabro is there some typa meaning I’m missing with drips? Every single other song is amazingly perfect and it’s my favorite Eminem album currently but that song is just such a standout skip for me
@@voidzminer1017 Nah its not really a deep song and you could even say it doesnt fit with the general tone of the album but i find it catchy, and hilarious on some lines
The only issue I have with Eminem is I feel like he’s too insecure when it comes to his critic receptions of his music and that’s what ruined his music for me.I understand it but his music from recovery to Kamikaze sounded like he was making music for his critics instead of his fans.There’s a world out there where his whole discography is perfect because he just did him and waited till people finally saw the vision he had for his music..like imagine how many classics we would’ve missed out on if Kanye cared bout what critics thought of his music.
Very strong points! I definitely think that we would not have gotten Kamikaze or Music To Be Murdered By if it wasn't for Eminem being salty about the reception of Revival and some of his previous albums👀
you couldn’t of said it more perfect bro. I won’t bash on his new stuff like some people do but i see why they would. He’s still sounds hungry but his writing doesn’t.
I enjoyed Mmlp 2 thou Kamikaze I genuinely did enjoy that doesn’t mean he didn’t write it as a response to his critics I just like it Music to be murdered by side A I personally feel will age nicely tbh wit u not that it will be regarded top 3 nah but it’s good Side B is a bit more goofy
Totally disagree with the MTBMB ranking. The beats and production is top notch. The theme throughout the album on both sides stayed consistent under the murder theme. The features added to the album. Gave respect to the game by shouting out legends. Yes he had fun and he rhymed a word with orange. Word play is insane. New world record with Godzilla. Darkness entire song was a double. Em dissing like he always does. Brought back accents in Discombobulated. No way this is his 10th best album. A great listen and has some great replay value in today’s taste in music because the production goes hard. Yah yah and You Gon’ Learn are awesome.
I mean its def better than kamikaze and mmlp2 but thats it tbh, yea it stays consistent but conceptually it doesnt come close to his 3 album runs and relapse/recovery. Technically em is better on mtbmb than any album in his discography, but imo it doesn’t capture the emotion his older work does nor does it have the same passion and voice either
@@gun_exe8387 imo MTBMB recapture everything in term of emotion and his voice to his old work and is better than recovery which felt forced and ungenuine on alot of tracks. Relisten Premonition, stepdad, leaving heaven; stepdad and tell me he doesn't sound like old Em on those songs. The album is inconsistent in term of his concept but that doesn't mean its bad either
A few takeaways. 1. I'm over 10 years older than you guys so lived through those album releases and Encore definitely wasn't his most controversial album. It was Marshall Mathers LP. Everyday on mainstream news there were protests over it from various groups and he was by far the biggest artist in the world at the time and the fact he was white and had a specific style lent himself to more fans than most rappers at the time. 2. I absolutely agree 100% with the Relapse ranking and analysis. I know people always shit on it but I think the concept is insane and Same Song and Dance is one of the craziest concepts and hooks ever. 3. I think one thing people often overlook with the 3 album in a row classic is that he also came out with a hit movie (8 Mile) about his life and his signature and biggest song (Lose Yourself) with a whole soundtrack in 2002 also. He was at his absolute peak in 2002 so there was nowhere to go but down. Awesome analysis guys!
I'M SO GLAD SOMEONE FINALLY SAID RELAPSE IS UNDERRATED AND CRITICS PUT IT DOWN FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON! Honestly he never should've apologized for that album, it's incredible.
Em's writing has always improved to me as the albums progress. But album and song structure wise. MTBMB is a mixed bag for me. Songs I skip vs songs I replay often. And there's songs that i think are great but don't replay (like darkness)
@@Foxy_grandpa2345that’s understandable. It’d be 5-7 range for me. I like it overall though. That and Kamikaze are about same tier imo. Revival sucked. I haven’t come around on that haha
I feel his albums artistically got worse overtime as a result of him getting better and better as a rapper and lyricist. But now he’s so good and technical that not much people can relate to it anymore. Regardless, he still remains one of the greats. He still records daily like it’s his 9-5 job. You never know if he might surprise us in the future.
I understand where your coming from and I don’t fully disagree. The only reason I disagree on it is just because of my own preference on my own enjoyment from his albums.
I disagree. Saying his albums got artistically worse because he became better at the art doesn't make any sense. What makes Eminems later albums suffer, is that they fail conceptually, he tries his hardest to experiment with a new flow that is incredibly sloppy and his beat selection is just not good. And...he doesn't really seem to care 😕
I dont understand how you can say that a he is getting worse at rapping by getting better at it. When could people ever relate to his music and in what ways?
The Eminem Show is my number 1 Em album. That Steve Berman Skit says it all. When Steve told Em it was the most incredible thing he’s ever herd as he got shot by Em. This album is in my top 5 rap albums
The Eminem Show rarely gets the love it deserves. I feel like it’s always coming 2nd or 3rd to SSLP and MMLP. The Eminem Show is one of my favorite albums of all time. It’s Eminem really maturing as an artist and delivering some of his most personal tracks. He still gives us the theatrical “Slim Shady” alter ego on a couple tracks, but this is a much more serious listen. It has iconic production from Dre and Em, incredible writing, and smooth/motivational flows and delivery.
@@godlike3605 I would rank what I've heard from Kamikaze last or up there. Slim Shady LP isn't good to me really. Encore is the worst album probably. Relapse it's 75% trash then some great songs. My favorite song Underground is on there as well. There is no hits from Slim Shady or Kamikaze I care about. Encore had like 3 great hits no good other tracks really. And Revival is just solid. Plenty of good songs. Not many bad ones
I still like Recovery a lot. Overlooked in my opinion, that's a top 3 Em project. In my 100% honest opinion, I think I like Recovery the most out of all Em's albums. His best is either Eminem Show or MMLP.
Recovery is a white boy classic dude. Not Afraid, No love, love the way u lie?! Space bound, 25 to life, talking to myself, going through changes On fire, won’t back down, WTP All Great&arguably classic (hot take) That makes up for the misses to me 9/10
*The thing is MTBMB/SIDE-B is New Gen Eminem Stan’s (like myself) favorite album because it has so much replay value! Top lyricism, great beats/production, memorable hooks and overall a fun project. It’s honestly my top 2 favorite project from him (I’m 16 btw).* Kamikaze is also dope af. I’d put these two above MMLP2 And Recovery personally… honestly he only ever had two duds in his discography (Encore/Revival and they weren’t that bad like many say, they’re overhated) like many legends in hip hop. Pretty consistent tbf
Ooft trust me, sit down and actually listen to TES and MMLP 2, at least give those a go. They both have the best of Eminem, Production, Lyrically insane and story telling.
Having Kamikaze at 9 is soooo crazy to me especially after all you said about it. Yeah it wasn’t really a full project but fuck it it was an awesome project. Definitely should be higher than Infinite.
Ive always loved Relapse but my favourite Eminem album has to be The Slim Shady LP his flow on that album just breezes through perfectly brilliantly written!
My theory for Encore is that it was meant to be his greatest album, but since half the songs got leaked from it, he just replaced them all with troll songs like Big Weenie, Puke, and Rain Man, but even those have a special vibe and comedy to them
Relapse one of the most underrated albums of all time honestly. Has such a cool theme with all the darkness and shady concept. and lyricism and flows and beats are dope asf. He gets deep with almost every song and every song has a purpose/ theme.
@@ProdByAngus for me You Gon’ Learn is far and away my favorite from the album. 10/10. i also really enjoy Book of Rhymes, Guns Blazing, No Regrets, and Little Engine
Happy to see Relapse getting it's dues. Super underrated. I really think the reason that it was hated at the time (other than the accents) is because of the timing. He was coming back from a hiatus and people just wanted to return to before and instead he subverted expectations with a dark concept album. People just weren't ready for it at the time
Really like the content guys! With every announcement I've gone through every album and relistened every song you've mentioned. Lovely experience to go back to them
The SSLP is the rawest version of Eminem’s crazy enough, I think a lot of MMLP was recorded during the same sessions. I’m surprised I didn’t hear anything about 97 Bonnie & Clyde or Kim. S a kid, Kim scared the F*** out of me.
I don't know why people say recovery is mid just because it has pop singers on choruses. Eminem is still the beast there and the whole sound of the album was epic. Top-5 Em's discography no doubt
Mtbmb according to me was great. He had crazy hooks and rhymes on it. Probably not his best but I wouldn’t give it 10th. My ranking- 1. MMLP 2. ‘Em show 3. SSLP 4. Relapse 5. Mtbmb 6. Recovery 7. Kamikaze 8. Mmlp2 9. Encore 10. Infinite 11. Revival
Coming from a huge em Stan, I can understand how people don't like albums like revival and encore. But mtbmb rlly is a good album and I don't get how people hate it
for me it's (and I probably have the weirdest list for you guys lol) MMLP2 - this album has some of the best combinations of music and technical/deep lyrics, and overall just has some all time BANGERS: evil twin, bad guy, berzerk, wicked Ways, groundhog day, and so on. This album is his best imo. Relapse - the beats in this album are absolutely amazing. Yes the topics can be a little gruesome, but the flows, rhyme schemes, and even the way he bends words in accents to help him rhyme words that don't rhyme already in the way Relapse did is actually fucking amazing. for example in stay wide awake. That last verse is something else. Would be an instant top 1 if not for 'insane'.. wasn't bad, just.... makes me incredibly uncomfortable. Chorus rocks tho. TES - this is where I was introduced to em and I honestly like it a lot. It shows how he's grown as a person and some of the songs themselves just sound like he's just having a fun time, while at the same time giving us a message. Recovery - deep as hell album. Helped me with my mental issues and helped me smile through my darkest, which, hey, was the point after all. I love this album to death, especially songs like "You're never over" (rip proof), "Cinderella man", "on fire", "not afraid." And so on. MMLP - angry em fills me with anger, but I love it. Obviously his most controversial album to date (for good reason). Not much else to say other than I like the album. SSLP - definitely a good way to Jumpstart his career with both anger, ambition, and humor. Especially role model man lmfao. PSA: next albums aren't necessarily "BAD" albums for me, but definitely include albums that didn't click right for me with the exception of MTBMB MTBMB (side A) - phenomenal album, I love the display of lyricism and the speed rap is music to my ears, bars everywhere man. Music choices were a little eh for some songs, which em definitely helped me get through. 8/10 Kamikaze - good return to form, not much else to say. Encore - it was definitely a messy as hell album but even messy albums have those few songs that clicked with you, and that's what encore did. It had some pretty good songs (1 shot two shot), some deep songs (like toy soldiers), and some funny songs (ass like that). Kinda a messy mix of all three as an album but I can agree it's definitely a step down from his previous three. MTBMB (Side B) - I'm sorry but this side of the album was kind of weak. Yeah, of course there's a plethora of bars, which obviously are crazy good, but MAN, I did not like his music choices. Trap beats? Really? Discombobulated, Zeus, and Alfred's theme were they only ones that I actually really really liked. Other than that... ehh. I'm glad he seems to be having fun though. Revival I've only listen to one song so I don't have a good opinion on it yet. Same with Infinite.
The Eminem Show The Marshall Mathers LP Relapse The Marshall Mathers LP2 The Slim Shady LP Music To Be Murdered By Recovery Kamikaze Encore Infinite Revival TES is probably my favorite album OAT.
As a little kid the recovery album was the first album i heard and even today i still bump the whole album number 1 song i bump the most is talkin 2 myself
i kinda agreed when this video dropped 2 years back. Now after binging on eminem discography for years, i think except revival and half of encore rest all are totally listenable and has immense repeat value. GOATed discography.
Everyone forgets that without the SSep, SSlp and MMlp, rap is not what it is today. This dude broke down door’s unimaginable. Music is not it is today without Em. He took freedom of speech to a whole other level.
I agree. The album is not Perfect and the concept (murder through music, stories and bars) could have been executed better but gosh I love hearing him having fun again, something he didn't have for a long time. Every since Recovery he always made album in response to his previous and for that he just wanted to make music for himself and his fans and I respect that. Not to mention the production which is his best since Relapse and the flow. The flow throughout this project is what got me cause he sounds in perfect control of his voics and cadence, something he lost during the mmlp2 revival and even kamikaze era where he was too much aggressive while here, he is calm but still passionnate and emotional in his voice and he sounds so young, i'm not joking eminem sounds 10 year younger on this project than any project he dond in the past 10 years. Very solid project imo. Also Stepdad is underrated as fuck. It's a rollercoaster in term of storytelling, violence, imagery and emotion. The beat and the hook aren't the best yes but they work with the concept of the song,just like the concept they are made to be disturbing and reproduce the mindset of a young kid. Top 25 eminem song period along with Premonition and Never love again.
I personnaly don't agree with their placing but I respect their opinion and I think they have fair points for each project except for MTBMB which I feel they kind of got wrong.
Encore a top 5 Em album? That just sounds funny but it’s all opinions. I’d probably put Recovery in the top 5. Either way, I can tell you guys really know Eminem’s discography. I can’t say that’s the case for most hip hop podcast 💯.
My top eminem studio albums. 1. The eminem show 2. The Marshall mathers LP 3. The slim shady LP 4. Kamikaze 5. Music to be murdered by 6. Recovery 7. Infinite 8. Marshall mathers LP 2 9. Relapse 10. Encore 11. Revival This changes constantly.
Unpopular opinion: if Encore, relapse, recovery, revival, kamikaze and Music to be murdered by were his only albums, he’d still be top 5 lyricist of all time. People compare his new stuff to his old, always forgetting, THIS IS THE SAME GUY.
My List: 1- The Eminem Show 2- The Marshall Mathers LP 3- The Marshall Mathers LP 2 4- The Slim Shady LP 5- Recovery 6- Relapse 7- Encore 8- Music To Be Murdered By 9- Kamikaze 10- Music To Be Murdered By Side B 11- Revival Note: for me The Eminem Show is actually the second best hip-hop album ever before Illmatic By Nas
Forgot about 3 AM when talking about the serial killer vibes. Not complaining just noticed it. I believe it is one of his most underrated songs. May be cause of nostalgia but I fuckin love it.
24 years old, been listening to Eminem since middle school, my lineup goes like this 1.The Eminem Show 2.MMLP 3.SSLP 4.Relapse 5.MTBMB 6.MTBMB2 7.Kamikaze 8.Recovery 9.MMLP2 10.Revival 11.Encore Not Afraid was my intro to Eminem, Recovery was the real beginning, constant listening to throughout 7th grade as it was his newest work it didn’t take me long to though to find TES, MMLP, SSLP Relapse. I remember the hype for MMLP2 and it was crazy, After 2-3 years of listening to his old stuff and Recovery i was finally in the hype of an upcoming Eminem album
You guys are young but spot on with ranking! I was 14 when my mom bought me the slim shady lp... diehard eminem fan... slim shady #1 for me then mmlp... and the rest of your list is the same as mine! Great job guys!
01. The Marshall Matters LP (perfect) 02. The Eminem Show (perfect) 03. The Slim Shady LP (perfect) 04. Relapse (perfect) 05. Music To Be Murdered By Side A (Amazing) 06. Kamikaze (Amazing) 07. Music To Be Murdered By Side B (Great) 08. Infinit (good) 09. Encore (mid) 10. Recovery (mid) 11. The Marshall Matters LP 2 (mid) 12. Revival (trash, garbage, -10/10, should never be released)
I think the one album that does get overlooked because of how different it is I recovery. Yes he went down a different road but I think it was a fantastic and my personal favorite album
MMLP - Fantastic and one of the best rap albums of all time. No skips SSLP - great album with incredible highs, but a bit too skit heavy and Cum On Everybody kinda sucks Eminem Show - Arguably the highest highs of his career, but it's not the most consistent. Drips, Say What You Say, and Dad's Gone Crazy hold it back. I don't like Superman either. MMLP2 - really solid return to form, but a fair amount of the hooks bite and it has a few noticeable skips. Best technical rapping. Relapse - Your opinion on this will come down to how much you like they accents. I can kinda tolerate them, but for a whole project it and some of the weirder lines make me cringe. Recovery - Mixed bag, but shows its age with every passing year similar to Lupe's Lasers. Some great songs here and there though. MTBMB - Not really a return to form as there are too many bad songs with terrible hooks, but at least it's not insanely bitter or as poorly produced and out of touch as Revival. The next 2 I'm conflicted on. Kamikaze - Bitter old man yells at cloud the album. It's got a few good songs, but even a lot of the best ones are so condescending and butthurt for no reason, making it hard to return to. Encore - A few good songs, but that mid portion is ATROCIOUS. Can't fully blame him as it was meant to be a different album, but he could've tried harder than Rain Man and Big Weenie. Revival - The last couple songs can't save this. It's a total mess and one of the worst albums made by a high profile artist.
Superman? I don't agree with pretty much any opinion, but that one is odd. SSLP I'll never understand why it's rated so high. Relapse sucked big time. Great songs spread out. My favorite song Underground is on there. But it's like 80% skip. Revival isn't that bad y'all just hate pop for some reason. And I'm a metal guy
i respect the ranking for the albums. i would do encore, revival, mmlp2, relapse, infinite, kamikaze, recovery, mtbmb(side 1 and 2), mmlp, slim shady lp and then the Eminem show. i feel even tho it's a compilation, the 8 mile is also really good.
This list is absolutely perfect guys, spot on, i 100% agree with every ranking here and almost everything u guys said about each album.. great stuff fellas.. btw FACK is legendary bro… encore is mad under rated as well, there r some really bad and annoying songs on it, but there’s a whole bunch of bangers on It as well that get overlooked.. there’s a lot more good songs than bad on encore
Not MID just not as relatable as Slim Shady - Relapse. (excluding recovery; not my favorite) After that he had some great songs but as a cohesive album it became a little too hip pop, with no swg or style just technical skill. Which is cool, but understandably not going to be the biggest thing for fans of his old, simpler (for him) style.
Kamikaze is a top 5 for me, the energy is great; edit: Kamikaze is not top 5 anymore, relapse is just so good sometimes I think about putting it in my top 3 but for me it sits at 4 behind the slim shady lp
Great video! This is my ranking: 1. MMLP 2. The Eminem Show 3. Relapse: Refill 4. SSLP 5. MMLP2 6. Recovery 7. MTBMB 8. Kamikaze 9. Infinite 10. Encore 11. Revival
To me I feel Music To Be Murdered By is Em’s 3rd Best Album Of All Time! y’all tripping also you gotta mention B Side cause it’s apart of the original album And I disagree with Eminem flopping he never had a flop album Revival is a masterpiece to me the most underrated songs on that albums are In Your Head,Believe,Walk On Water,Chloreseptic & Offended👊🏽🙌🏽🐐✨🎯💯(Top 5:SSLP,The Eminem Show,MTBMB,MMLP2,Relapse)
Even if you like revival fair enough but you have to admit it’s not even close to a masterpiece, weather you love it or hate it you have to admit all the faults and misses on that record.
Eminem said that he isnt releasing because he doesnt know what he hasnt done , Eminem has literally done everything from #1 Pop songs to Outstanding lyrics and Crazy flows , At this point I feel there arent even new flows left because he has so much songs which were so unique MTMB was an experiment , the new school Em is just experimenting with sound now , You have to agree it had the most unique sound and sonics
People should give credit to Relapse because it's the album that introduce Eminem to Gen z generation , beautiful is literally one of my all time favorite songs
I Liked Relapse !
Beautiful has no reason being on that album it’s already good by itself
@@eliasmejia7862 Thats actually because it was recorded somewhere around 05-07 during the height of his druged up depression. And not during the out of rehab Relapse 08 sessions.
Bro, it absolutely belongs on that album. It’s literally the only song from Relapse that he wrote while in rehab.
Beautiful, Deja Vu, and My Darling, are some of his best songs.
Man I absolutely adore Kamikaze. He had fun and he killed it.

He gave people what they asked for

Definitely highly agree
I had to persevere to get through the video when I saw it that low. Especially if you include side B in there. It’s top 5 for me in Em’s discography
@@AwaisKhan-zt6hmit's top 3 for me

Relapse is soo underrated imo. To me it's right behind his 3 classic albums and I would even call it his 4th unofficial classic.
People don’t realize how genius rapping with accent to make words rhyme was
Yes the serial killer concept was genius and Eminem's rapping was phenomenal all throughout!
It’s a cult classic

@@KaiJordan23 Haha objectivity is essentially an established set of subjectivity lmao. What I mean is I just feel like it has to be his masterpiece because sure it didn’t have the controversy of MMLP, but it’s his best song writing, most mature and introspective lyricism, less nasally voice.

Each one of those records was a final he had to take, then The Eminem Show would be the one he got the highest score on. It’s the best written, best produced, best composed, most personal, and it’s a record that he did primarily himself, so if all of his albums are his babies, this would be the one he put the most effort into raising. It’s the one that belongs to him the most. Hope that makes sense.
@@AdamAdam-md4mi That makes a lot of sense sir. Respect your opinion. Really opened my eyes as an MMLP kind of guy. Thank you
@@KaiJordan23 yeah man. Love that record. I adore it. I just feel The Eminem Show doesn’t get quite the same love because it lives in the shadow that the MMLP’s controversy cast, but it just feels like SSLP was em joking, being goofy. MMLP was him at his most angry and vicious, unfiltered with still a nice sense of humor. Whereas The Eminem Show is much more serious, personal and it just feels like we got to see the man behind the act that pulls the string for the Slim Shady alter ego. The first three albums are all classics to me though
Thank you for the Recovery appreciation. That was Eminem doing the pop-rap thing correctly. Quality beats, verses and hooks. All cohesive and every song made sense on the track list. I was cool with it back then (I was 15) and when I return to it I still love it. Number 4 or 5 for me.
Hope you enjoyed the episode Ford! Recovery is definitely one of Eminem's best albums and despite the pop elements had great themes and rapping🔥
Ay same bro
@@NFRPodcast recovery and encore are both better than Relapse to me. Encore hate on the internet is baffling to me. That is my fourth favorite Eminem album behind TES, MMLP & SSLP.
For me it isnt correctly! The vibe is the most importent thing for me in Hip Hop and I cant vibe with Eminem screaming his soul out of himself and the pop hooks make it worse for me.
People always say the exact same thing I dont like it cause its pop I loved it.
This might be controversial but relapse is my favorite Eminem album. I like how crazy and different that album is compared to his others. MMlp being a close 2nd.
Not controversial at all! One of Em's most creative bodies of work and his best produced record🙏
Top 3 album for sure.
Relapse is my 3rd favourite.
Wished he experimented more like he did with Relapse.
It’s not controversial when you say it’s your favorite, that’s what you like and enjoy the most, now if you said if that it is his best then that would be controversial lol, but Relapse is dope some of his best flows and wordplay, with experimental Sounds. Such a dope album
TES to me is probably the album with the greatest singles in any music genre. It rarely happens that the singles are my favorite tracks, but with TES it's different. I mean, "Sing for the Moment" and "Cleanin' out my Closet" are in my all-time top 3 Em songs, and "Superman" is in my top 10. And "Without Me" was such a perfect first single, to me personally the best one out of all his "goofy" first singles. I really can't think of another album that had such strong singles. The only one that comes close is MMLP lol.
P.S.: I'd love to see you guys ranking Outkast's discography. I believe they have the greatest discography in hip hop and my personal ranking pretty much changes every week.
Love your take about TES. Also, we have a lot of discography rankings in the vault. We’re gonna be coming back with major heat..
Honestly it is my favorite album too along with Relapse. There is literally no song in TES I don’t like. White America, Business, Cleanin’ out my closet, square dance (super underrated), Business, Soldier, Say Goodbye Hollywood, Drips (oddly underrated), Without Me, Sing For The Moment, Superman, Hailie’s Song, WTMS, Say What You Say, Till I Collapse, My Dad’s Gone Crazy. Damn I literally said every song.
@@lewis-dabro is there some typa meaning I’m missing with drips? Every single other song is amazingly perfect and it’s my favorite Eminem album currently but that song is just such a standout skip for me

The only issue I have with Eminem is I feel like he’s too insecure when it comes to his critic receptions of his music and that’s what ruined his music for me.I understand it but his music from recovery to Kamikaze sounded like he was making music for his critics instead of his fans.There’s a world out there where his whole discography is perfect because he just did him and waited till people finally saw the vision he had for his music..like imagine how many classics we would’ve missed out on if Kanye cared bout what critics thought of his music.
Very strong points! I definitely think that we would not have gotten Kamikaze or Music To Be Murdered By if it wasn't for Eminem being salty about the reception of Revival and some of his previous albums👀
you couldn’t of said it more perfect bro. I won’t bash on his new stuff like some people do but i see why they would. He’s still sounds hungry but his writing doesn’t.
I enjoyed Mmlp 2 thou Kamikaze I genuinely did enjoy that doesn’t mean he didn’t write it as a response to his critics I just like it
Music to be murdered by side A I personally feel will age nicely tbh wit u not that it will be regarded top 3 nah but it’s good Side B is a bit more goofy
@@NFRPodcast Salty? Y’all was bitching about Revival. And actually y’all NRF bitched about MTBMB too
@@yousafshady I think you are the salty one lad. Salty salty Stan
Totally disagree with the MTBMB ranking. The beats and production is top notch. The theme throughout the album on both sides stayed consistent under the murder theme. The features added to the album. Gave respect to the game by shouting out legends. Yes he had fun and he rhymed a word with orange. Word play is insane. New world record with Godzilla. Darkness entire song was a double. Em dissing like he always does. Brought back accents in Discombobulated. No way this is his 10th best album. A great listen and has some great replay value in today’s taste in music because the production goes hard. Yah yah and You Gon’ Learn are awesome.
I agree. Top 5 for me
Facts! Top 5 for me has well for all the reasons you're mentionned.
I mean its def better than kamikaze and mmlp2 but thats it tbh, yea it stays consistent but conceptually it doesnt come close to his 3 album runs and relapse/recovery. Technically em is better on mtbmb than any album in his discography, but imo it doesn’t capture the emotion his older work does nor does it have the same passion and voice either
@@gun_exe8387 imo MTBMB recapture everything in term of emotion and his voice to his old work and is better than recovery which felt forced and ungenuine on alot of tracks. Relisten Premonition, stepdad, leaving heaven; stepdad and tell me he doesn't sound like old Em on those songs.
The album is inconsistent in term of his concept but that doesn't mean its bad either
The beats suck mate horrible trap rubbish
A few takeaways.
1. I'm over 10 years older than you guys so lived through those album releases and Encore definitely wasn't his most controversial album. It was Marshall Mathers LP. Everyday on mainstream news there were protests over it from various groups and he was by far the biggest artist in the world at the time and the fact he was white and had a specific style lent himself to more fans than most rappers at the time.
2. I absolutely agree 100% with the Relapse ranking and analysis. I know people always shit on it but I think the concept is insane and Same Song and Dance is one of the craziest concepts and hooks ever.
3. I think one thing people often overlook with the 3 album in a row classic is that he also came out with a hit movie (8 Mile) about his life and his signature and biggest song (Lose Yourself) with a whole soundtrack in 2002 also. He was at his absolute peak in 2002 so there was nowhere to go but down. Awesome analysis guys!
I'M SO GLAD SOMEONE FINALLY SAID RELAPSE IS UNDERRATED AND CRITICS PUT IT DOWN FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON! Honestly he never should've apologized for that album, it's incredible.
Music to be murdered by is over hated.
No, coming from a Stan, MTBMB is mid
@@ikefeenstra1010 I recently revisited it, and it went from a 6 to a 5.
Em's writing has always improved to me as the albums progress. But album and song structure wise. MTBMB is a mixed bag for me. Songs I skip vs songs I replay often. And there's songs that i think are great but don't replay (like darkness)
My favourite album from him tbh
@@Foxy_grandpa2345that’s understandable. It’d be 5-7 range for me. I like it overall though. That and Kamikaze are about same tier imo. Revival sucked. I haven’t come around on that haha
Always loved Eminem and he got me into rap tbh but never genuinely sat down and went through his discography definitely gonna do that now 😂
Enjoy Ethan🙏
He’s better than these people make him out to be. Kamikaze and mtbmb side b at least are fire af. Listen to speedom with tech 9 too.

What?
@@KingMathers lmfao its a joke
Unpopular opinion: Revival and Encore are the only "bad albums" in his discography. Everything else is pretty good imo
I think the one thing that everybody can agree on is that Revival is his worst😂
Encore is more mid than trash revival is trash tho
I might be one of the few who think Encore is his worst
Even Encore I dont think is that bad, half of the album is amazing
@@ghostlyripper4403 I think encore is the worse rap album ever released and Em is my GOAT…
I feel his albums artistically got worse overtime as a result of him getting better and better as a rapper and lyricist. But now he’s so good and technical that not much people can relate to it anymore. Regardless, he still remains one of the greats. He still records daily like it’s his 9-5 job. You never know if he might surprise us in the future.
I understand where your coming from and I don’t fully disagree. The only reason I disagree on it is just because of my own preference on my own enjoyment from his albums.
I disagree. Saying his albums got artistically worse because he became better at the art doesn't make any sense. What makes Eminems later albums suffer, is that they fail conceptually, he tries his hardest to experiment with a new flow that is incredibly sloppy and his beat selection is just not good. And...he doesn't really seem to care 😕
i dont think thats case, so many artists talk about a life normal people live and fw it, ems lyricism has just gotten drastically worse and whiney
I dont understand how you can say that a he is getting worse at rapping by getting better at it. When could people ever relate to his music and in what ways?
Facts and im big Eminem fan , he is the Goat . but i agree totally , its like he trying too much nowadays and the beat selection is terrible .
MMLP2 is criminally underrated in my opinion, its top 5 in his discography
yeah no. its not better than any of 2000-2011 eminem album

Been saying this
The Eminem Show is my number 1 Em album. That Steve Berman Skit says it all. When Steve told Em it was the most incredible thing he’s ever herd as he got shot by Em. This album is in my top 5 rap albums
This is probably the best and most thorough video about Eminem's albums I've seen, you guys deserve more views!
The Eminem Show rarely gets the love it deserves. I feel like it’s always coming 2nd or 3rd to SSLP and MMLP. The Eminem Show is one of my favorite albums of all time. It’s Eminem really maturing as an artist and delivering some of his most personal tracks. He still gives us the theatrical “Slim Shady” alter ego on a couple tracks, but this is a much more serious listen. It has iconic production from Dre and Em, incredible writing, and smooth/motivational flows and delivery.
In recovery Eminem said “ last 2 albums didn’t count oncore I was on drugs relapse I was flushing them out” both ranked higher than recovery
Not from me. Those are the worst albums to me

@@godlike3605 I would rank what I've heard from Kamikaze last or up there. Slim Shady LP isn't good to me really. Encore is the worst album probably. Relapse it's 75% trash then some great songs. My favorite song Underground is on there as well. There is no hits from Slim Shady or Kamikaze I care about. Encore had like 3 great hits no good other tracks really. And Revival is just solid. Plenty of good songs. Not many bad ones
I still like Recovery a lot. Overlooked in my opinion, that's a top 3 Em project. In my 100% honest opinion, I think I like Recovery the most out of all Em's albums. His best is either Eminem Show or MMLP.
Yes Recovery is definitely underrated in his discography!

*The thing is MTBMB/SIDE-B is New Gen Eminem Stan’s (like myself) favorite album because it has so much replay value! Top lyricism, great beats/production, memorable hooks and overall a fun project. It’s honestly my top 2 favorite project from him (I’m 16 btw).* Kamikaze is also dope af. I’d put these two above MMLP2 And Recovery personally… honestly he only ever had two duds in his discography (Encore/Revival and they weren’t that bad like many say, they’re overhated) like many legends in hip hop. Pretty consistent tbf

Relapse is one of his best albums
That's factual Derrick🔥 how did you like our ranking?
@@NFRPodcast he don't know you lil bro
Dropping 3 classic LPs from jump is legendary. He set the bar so high, it was inevitable for his work to go downward.
'97 Bonnie and Clyde is probably my favorite rap song ever. God, paints a picture like nothing else.
My theory for Encore is that it was meant to be his greatest album, but since half the songs got leaked from it, he just replaced them all with troll songs like Big Weenie, Puke, and Rain Man, but even those have a special vibe and comedy to them
Relapse one of the most underrated albums of all time honestly. Has such a cool theme with all the darkness and shady concept. and lyricism and flows and beats are dope asf. He gets deep with almost every song and every song has a purpose/ theme.

Happy to see Relapse getting it's dues. Super underrated. I really think the reason that it was hated at the time (other than the accents) is because of the timing. He was coming back from a hiatus and people just wanted to return to before and instead he subverted expectations with a dark concept album. People just weren't ready for it at the time

@@JPH3numerous great bars too. Agree with you on the beats
@@sagrophobia yeah but it does get tiring after a bit, Em’s been doing the same style for the last 7 years
for me it's (and I probably have the weirdest list for you guys lol)
MMLP2 - this album has some of the best combinations of music and technical/deep lyrics, and overall just has some all time BANGERS: evil twin, bad guy, berzerk, wicked Ways, groundhog day, and so on. This album is his best imo.
Relapse - the beats in this album are absolutely amazing. Yes the topics can be a little gruesome, but the flows, rhyme schemes, and even the way he bends words in accents to help him rhyme words that don't rhyme already in the way Relapse did is actually fucking amazing. for example in stay wide awake. That last verse is something else. Would be an instant top 1 if not for 'insane'.. wasn't bad, just.... makes me incredibly uncomfortable. Chorus rocks tho.
TES - this is where I was introduced to em and I honestly like it a lot. It shows how he's grown as a person and some of the songs themselves just sound like he's just having a fun time, while at the same time giving us a message.
Recovery - deep as hell album. Helped me with my mental issues and helped me smile through my darkest, which, hey, was the point after all. I love this album to death, especially songs like "You're never over" (rip proof), "Cinderella man", "on fire", "not afraid." And so on.
MMLP - angry em fills me with anger, but I love it. Obviously his most controversial album to date (for good reason). Not much else to say other than I like the album.
SSLP - definitely a good way to Jumpstart his career with both anger, ambition, and humor. Especially role model man lmfao.
PSA: next albums aren't necessarily "BAD" albums for me, but definitely include albums that didn't click right for me with the exception of MTBMB
MTBMB (side A) - phenomenal album, I love the display of lyricism and the speed rap is music to my ears, bars everywhere man. Music choices were a little eh for some songs, which em definitely helped me get through. 8/10
Kamikaze - good return to form, not much else to say.
Encore - it was definitely a messy as hell album but even messy albums have those few songs that clicked with you, and that's what encore did. It had some pretty good songs (1 shot two shot), some deep songs (like toy soldiers), and some funny songs (ass like that). Kinda a messy mix of all three as an album but I can agree it's definitely a step down from his previous three.
MTBMB (Side B) - I'm sorry but this side of the album was kind of weak. Yeah, of course there's a plethora of bars, which obviously are crazy good, but MAN, I did not like his music choices. Trap beats? Really? Discombobulated, Zeus, and Alfred's theme were they only ones that I actually really really liked. Other than that... ehh. I'm glad he seems to be having fun though.
Revival I've only listen to one song so I don't have a good opinion on it yet.
Same with Infinite.

As a little kid the recovery album was the first album i heard and even today i still bump the whole album number 1 song i bump the most is talkin 2 myself
i kinda agreed when this video dropped 2 years back. Now after binging on eminem discography for years, i think except revival and half of encore rest all are totally listenable and has immense repeat value. GOATed discography.
Everyone forgets that without the SSep, SSlp and MMlp, rap is not what it is today. This dude broke down door’s unimaginable. Music is not it is today without Em. He took freedom of speech to a whole other level.
Unpopular opinion: Music To Be Murdered By Side A + B is in his TOP 5 Albums
I agree. The album is not Perfect and the concept (murder through music, stories and bars) could have been executed better but gosh I love hearing him having fun again, something he didn't have for a long time. Every since Recovery he always made album in response to his previous and for that he just wanted to make music for himself and his fans and I respect that. Not to mention the production which is his best since Relapse and the flow. The flow throughout this project is what got me cause he sounds in perfect control of his voics and cadence, something he lost during the mmlp2 revival and even kamikaze era where he was too much aggressive while here, he is calm but still passionnate and emotional in his voice and he sounds so young, i'm not joking eminem sounds 10 year younger on this project than any project he dond in the past 10 years. Very solid project imo.
Also Stepdad is underrated as fuck. It's a rollercoaster in term of storytelling, violence, imagery and emotion. The beat and the hook aren't the best yes but they work with the concept of the song,just like the concept they are made to be disturbing and reproduce the mindset of a young kid. Top 25 eminem song period along with Premonition and Never love again.
I personnaly don't agree with their placing but I respect their opinion and I think they have fair points for each project except for MTBMB which I feel they kind of got wrong.

I can tell you were born in the 2000's
No way bro said recovery is mid💀
MTBMB is a great! A top 5 Eminem album for me
1. The Eminem Show
2. MMLP
3. SSLP
4. Music To Be Murdered By
5. Recovery
6. Relapse
7. MMLP2
8. Kamikaze
9. Encore
10. Revival
MTBMB was an entire experience though, it was more than just another album.
I think the one album that does get overlooked because of how different it is I recovery. Yes he went down a different road but I think it was a fantastic and my personal favorite album
MMLP - Fantastic and one of the best rap albums of all time. No skips
SSLP - great album with incredible highs, but a bit too skit heavy and Cum On Everybody kinda sucks
Eminem Show - Arguably the highest highs of his career, but it's not the most consistent. Drips, Say What You Say, and Dad's Gone Crazy hold it back. I don't like Superman either.
MMLP2 - really solid return to form, but a fair amount of the hooks bite and it has a few noticeable skips. Best technical rapping.
Relapse - Your opinion on this will come down to how much you like they accents. I can kinda tolerate them, but for a whole project it and some of the weirder lines make me cringe.
Recovery - Mixed bag, but shows its age with every passing year similar to Lupe's Lasers. Some great songs here and there though.
MTBMB - Not really a return to form as there are too many bad songs with terrible hooks, but at least it's not insanely bitter or as poorly produced and out of touch as Revival.
The next 2 I'm conflicted on.
Kamikaze - Bitter old man yells at cloud the album. It's got a few good songs, but even a lot of the best ones are so condescending and butthurt for no reason, making it hard to return to.
Encore - A few good songs, but that mid portion is ATROCIOUS. Can't fully blame him as it was meant to be a different album, but he could've tried harder than Rain Man and Big Weenie.
Revival - The last couple songs can't save this. It's a total mess and one of the worst albums made by a high profile artist.
I like the explanations here! Also we're really big fans of Cum On Everybody, one of the funniest songs in Em's catalogue😂
Bro how can't you like Superman u don't have a good taste in music
Superman? Really? Lmaooo
Superman? I don't agree with pretty much any opinion, but that one is odd. SSLP I'll never understand why it's rated so high. Relapse sucked big time. Great songs spread out. My favorite song Underground is on there. But it's like 80% skip. Revival isn't that bad y'all just hate pop for some reason. And I'm a metal guy
No way does Eminem show have the "highest highs of his career" it's a mediocre album mate mmlp.and sslp are awesome though
I really enjoy your guy's podcast and the way you guys discuss music, thanks for providing me with good entertainment
i respect the ranking for the albums. i would do encore, revival, mmlp2, relapse, infinite, kamikaze, recovery, mtbmb(side 1 and 2), mmlp, slim shady lp and then the Eminem show. i feel even tho it's a compilation, the 8 mile is also really good.
Eminem show is the best album , also my all time fav album .
This list is absolutely perfect guys, spot on, i 100% agree with every ranking here and almost everything u guys said about each album.. great stuff fellas.. btw FACK is legendary bro… encore is mad under rated as well, there r some really bad and annoying songs on it, but there’s a whole bunch of bangers on It as well that get overlooked.. there’s a lot more good songs than bad on encore
Me:
1-the eminem show
2-mmlp
3-music to be murdered by A+B
4-sslp
5-mmlp2
6-relapse
7-recovery
8-encore
9-kamikaze
10-revival
(Note: revival=8/10 )
1. Relapse
2. Marshal mathers Lp
3. The Eneim show
4. Slim Shady Lp
5. Marshal mathers lp 2
6. Kamakize
7. Music to murdered by
8. Encore
9. Recovery
10. Infinite
11. Revivial
His run from 1999-2002 is what cements him as one of the GOATS. Sadly, his last few releases were mid at best.
1994-04 pre Kanye but if you include d12
Not MID just not as relatable as Slim Shady - Relapse. (excluding recovery; not my favorite) After that he had some great songs but as a cohesive album it became a little too hip pop, with no swg or style just technical skill. Which is cool, but understandably not going to be the biggest thing for fans of his old, simpler (for him) style.
Kamikaze is a top 5 for me, the energy is great; edit: Kamikaze is not top 5 anymore, relapse is just so good sometimes I think about putting it in my top 3 but for me it sits at 4 behind the slim shady lp
Great video! This is my ranking:
1. MMLP
2. The Eminem Show
3. Relapse: Refill
4. SSLP
5. MMLP2
6. Recovery
7. MTBMB
8. Kamikaze
9. Infinite
10. Encore
11. Revival
What about the reup and shadyxv
How tf can you put Encore above Recovery, MMLP2, Kamikaze, MTBMB, and Infinite?!
To me I feel Music To Be Murdered By is Em’s 3rd Best Album Of All Time! y’all tripping also you gotta mention B Side cause it’s apart of the original album And I disagree with Eminem flopping he never had a flop album Revival is a masterpiece to me the most underrated songs on that albums are In Your Head,Believe,Walk On Water,Chloreseptic & Offended👊🏽🙌🏽🐐✨🎯💯(Top 5:SSLP,The Eminem Show,MTBMB,MMLP2,Relapse)
Appreciate the honesty! What makes Revival a masterpiece for you?🤔
This is the type of energy we need. And I agree! Revival is a masterpiece😎
Even if you like revival fair enough but you have to admit it’s not even close to a masterpiece, weather you love it or hate it you have to admit all the faults and misses on that record.
Eminem said that he isnt releasing because he doesnt know what he hasnt done , Eminem has literally done everything from #1 Pop songs to Outstanding lyrics and Crazy flows , At this point I feel there arent even new flows left because he has so much songs which were so unique
MTMB was an experiment , the new school Em is just experimenting with sound now , You have to agree it had the most unique sound and sonics
Stay Wide Awake.
Could make a case that’s the best song he ever made.
The album is a masterpiece.
The Eminem Show is his best I said it.
EM 🐐
Agreed 💯%
can you guys do this for nas?
I only bump bad meets evil. Like only. And the lyrical em songs (mainly recently) this dude is insane af and deserves all the respect in the world
