MMLP2> Recovery> MTBMB>>Kamikaze>>>>>>>>>>>>>whatever Brokencyde's latest release is> Revival

Once you get past the "this isn't full of sequels to songs on the first album" in MMLP2, it's self-aware, full of good raps and decent beats, and that official Stan sequel to replace the songs people kept making fan sequels to on YouTube in the 2000s

Recovery is a little vilified by history but at the time it was very needed. Relapse left a lot of people going "lolwut" and he was trying to rebound on the success of his Nick Cannon diss track that featured more yelling, but it was preferable to accents. Dunno why people shit on the beats either, lots of Just Blaze, Alchemist, Emile, the last proper Dr. Dre beat on an Em album, lots of good stuff.

MTBMB might be his most "normal" album since his 09 return, honestly. There's a little "why nobody liked Kamikaze man" at the beginning but it was quickly passed by. It honestly feels like a mish-mash of his styles of his last 5 albums, but all done competently. Dr. Dre producing properly this time probably helped a lot with the album direction.

Kamikaze is to Revival as Recovery was to Relapse.....except it was a miss. It was a course correction that was done out of spite rather than understanding. Still, the Royce/Joyner features are welcome and the return of skits and "rap god" songs felt familiar in a good way. Too many "freestyle" sounding beats, though.

Fucking Revival. Don't get me wrong, it had a few memorable songs (Ed Sheehan will be appreciated one day) and the back end is probably one of the strongest in his discography but that was in between all the self-unaware songs with pop hooks, uninspired production, and overall bloat. Eminem can be as sorry not sorry about this album as he wants (as it did help him course correct for Kamikaze/MTBMB) but that doesn't mean I gotta like it

Alright that's it lol, what do you think

His first 3 albums are always gonna be top for people and Encore is always gonna be rated low (even though I liked a lot of tracks on it) so I think it's more interesting to see how people rate his post-return albums since those are always contested lol

MMLP2.

Rap God was Em's declaration that he was still relevant in Hip Hop and a force to be reckoned with. So technical lyrically! Bars on bars on bars. Reminded me of being in a cypher and so true to the art form.

Maaaan Relapse was bangers from cover to back

Music To Be Murdered By and MMLP 2 are legit the only Eminem album i enjoyed these last couple of years...

Recovery was corny as hell, Revival was abysmal and Kamikaze was too whiney.
