Fuck the Encore haters.
If he dropped Encore now people would love it.
Um no, but I think it would be more appreciated if it had been his debut album.
(Yes, yes, it couldn't be because he's referencing old stuff and YADDA YADDA but whatever.)
It would be like "Obviously his later albums are a lot better, but it was a solid debut. Sure, some of the songs were silly and stupid, but most were quite decent and a sign of even better things to come"
It's the fact that Encore was so thoroughly disappointing after three classics in a row that makes people think it's even worse than it is.
That's my point, in a way. It's because he dropped three classics before Encore that people think it's bad. Now everyone's jizzing their pants over every single leak no matter which era it's from. I still think people would love it if it dropped now.
