First off, reasons why this shouldn't be moved to Chit-Chat.
* It's one of Pitchfork's reasons ( like the pseudo-intellectual hipster bastards really needed one) for not giving MMLP2 a higher rating. This and the "full of Italian sausage" line, which is a valid literary device dammit.
* It's one of the most argued about lines on the album.
* I spent valuable minutes doing calculations to justify an obsure Eminem line, all the while wincing at the sheer Stannery of it.
...
*The 9 hrs and 45 minutes line refers to the intervening time between the death of Stan Mitchell and Matthew Mitchell's mouth filling with saliva at the 3:10 minute mark on Bad Guy.
* It includes all the studio albums in which Eminem appeared in, either singly or as part of a duo or group.
No 8 Mile Soundtrack obviously.
Now, the figure I'm going to arrive at won't be exactly 9hrs and 45mins because
* It's difficult to know where to start from; do I start from the PSA on MMLP or from when Stan fell into the water? Do I include the first 3:10 minutes on Bad Guy...etc,
* I didn't add up the seconds on the lengths of the albums (too much unnecessary math) just rounded out
So any figure +/- 10 minutes will be acceptable.
MMLP minus PSA and Kill You = 68
TES = 78
Encore = 77
Both D12 albums = 75+78
H;TS = 37
Relapse = 76
Recovery = 78
Bad Guy = 3 mins.
Total = 570 mins. = 9.5 hours.
Or 9 hrs and 30 minutes,
If I didn't fuck up somewhere.
...
So... ShadyGOAT won, PitchforkWOAT lawst, etc etc.
