Added another option. Sorry to the people who voted that might have wanted the new option(I doubt it)

[One Mic]

much better. voted for the new option

4. Above average album, but missing elements that make it a classic

[Notalius]

It's not "just" above average. I think it's a great album but too early to say if it's a classic or not.

[Kill You]

Need a "Great album" option.

[SG.]

Is it too early to say it's a classic?

I predict it will be a classic.

[Jimmy Conway]

[Kill You]

It think it's in between a great/fantastic album and a classic one. Not quite a classic but pretty close.

I knew SSLP, MMLP, Eminem Show were classics right off the bat.

I knew Relapse was a classic as soon as Refill came out.

MMLP2 became a classic when the bonus came out and if the cod bonus is good, that just makes the case stronger.

Im a stan since day one but I think people in here overate the album too much, its a very good album, above average but nah its not a classic ! Unfortunately u got a track like ''Rhyme Or Reason'' for exemple which I love but at the same time im pissed cause exept the 1st verse...honeslty the 2nd and 3rd verses Eminem is just disapointing, could do better alot better. For ex: If I listen to ''Till I Collapse imo Em kill all the verse...soldier same thing...say goodbye hollywood...say what u say.... all the tracks got solid substance... on this MMLP 2 album...Em is just gettin lost...I dont know how to say it...he's still good but...also disapointing sometimes...his flow is ''too much'' instead of making a real solid song he just try to spit and try to do too much with his flow imo.

21 tracks is too much imo, I knew it from the start that it would be ''quantity over quality'' I would trade all the bonus tracks anyday for more quality on the 16 first tunes.

4 is the correct answer without dickriding(even if I respect yall opinions) : Above average album, but missing elements that make it a classic. As a BIG BIG Eminem fan in my opinion SSLP, MMLP and Em Show are all classics but this one is not a classic and I hate to say it, if I compare with Eminem show in no ways MMLP 2 is a classic... its good stuff overall but not great enough for a god emcee like Em. Unfortunately..in some way Emine kinda lost it if you compared with his old stuff but hey...he's still better than anybody lol !

No.

Relapse is not a classic.

Yeah it is. Amazing production, great rhyming and flow. It's an amazing album. The rhyming on that album is so crisp, so smart and creative. It was such a risky album and worked great.
