Eminem has sold 42.5 million records domestically. Internationally, that number is up around 80 million.

This level of success has, understandably, had a distorting effect on how his music is perceived. When an artist's work becomes as popular and ubiquitous as Eminem's has, there are going to be many, many interpretations of that work. And just because you think you've got a handle on Em's story doesn't mean there isn't a very popular alternate perception. After all, this is also the guy who invented the term "Stan." Suffice it to say, you find out quickly talking to Em fans—and who in hip-hop does this not describe, really?—that your take really is one of many.

Revisiting Em's catalogue for this project has been an eye-opening experience. Spanning 17 years and 15 releases, his music has more unexplored nooks and crannies than most casual fans realize. His career has also taken a more complicated shape than its initial arc implied.

Decent rating. I would lower Encore, and up MMLP2 and TES.
TES>MMLP>MMLP2>SSLP
I walk around like a space cadet, place your bets
Who's likely to become a serial killer? Case of tourettes
Fuck, fuck, fuck! Can't take the stress
I make a mess as the day progresses
Angry and take it out on the neighbors hedges like this is how I'll cut
Your face up bitches with these hedge trimming scissors with razor edges
Imagination's dangerous, it's the only way to escape this mess
And make the best of this situation, I guess

MMLP2 can not logically be argued to be better album than sslp, mmlp or tes.

weakest song on MMLP2 are better than the weakest song on SSLP imo. On the other hand, good song on SSLP are classics while even though they're fantastic on MMLP2, it's not the same league.

So yeah, it's hard to tell.

I'm personally not a big fan of most of SSLP, but MMLP2 is too new for me to say it's better.

Devils Night is the best album after his first three.

I actually kind of agree with this. I enjoy Devil's Knight just about as much as his first three albums. It's definitely a dope album. :y:
