When was Em's career peak, in your opinion?

Postby Raul » Oct 23rd, '13, 19:12

IMO, Em's golden era was 1999-2003, and... After listening to Devil's Night for the 1st time 2 days ago (and being completely satisfied), I started to think 'when was Eminem's real career peak?', cause, you know, he released a lot of classic material on his prime and it's a nice debate IMO. Tell me what's your opinion about it.

I meant in terms of quality, to be honest. In terms of popularity, I agree that his peak was on 2002.

I guess it depends exactly how you define career peak? To me that would mean when they were "biggest/most popular/most success."

Popularity peak should be clear, 2002 8 Mile/Em Show...........he had a huge hit album The Eminem Show out, he starred in his own critically applauded film, he had a huge critically acclaimed hit song Lose Yourself, he also was starting his label with promising talent like Obie Trice and a HUGE impact was coming with 50 cent.

As far as creativity, artistic best peak etc. its def 2000/2001 MMLP/Devil's Night. Just........greatness. Some people give shit to Devil's Night but it's fucking great!

2000.

He was at an all-time high...he wasn't dropping any lackluster verses and was consistent with the quality of verses throughout.

It didn't go: mediocre, good, bad, good, mediocre, terrible, GREAT, CLASSIC, bad like it does now, and like it did around 2002-2004.

Tragic portrait of an artist tortured
Trapped in his own drawings

But in my head there’s a voice in the back and it hollas
After the track is demolished
I am your lack of a conscience

I’m your time that’s almost up that you haven’t acknowledged
Grab for some water but I’m that pill that’s too jagged to swallow

2000-2002.

Everything he dropped back then was a classic.
