RHH: Do you consider "The Eminem Show" a classic album?
It's my personal favorite Eminem album. It's got, in my opinion, some of his best work he's done. "White America", "Cleanin Out My Closest", "Soldier"(which is my favorite Em song), "Sing For The Moment", "Superman", "Till I Collapse".
BQ: Rank the album out of 10?
Update:Wow. I'm shocked how many people didnt like the album..

It's certainly a great album, but I wouldn't really call it a classic (although I consider "Sing for the Moment", "'Till I Collapse" and "Cleanin' Out My Closet" to be classic songs). It builds off of a lot that the MMLP was already doing, except with a more mainstream sound. It did show that Eminem could produce his own stuff and still make dope music though.
BQ: 10/10
Of course The Eminem Show is a classic album! I've listened to it so many times cause the lyrics are amazing and the beats are really dope too! I love it so much! It's different than his other stuff but it is a classic album for sure! Screw all these haters. If you think it's a classic, then it's fine. All of his albums are classics cause they're all very unique. If all his albums were like the Slim Shady LP or Marshall Mathers LP they would be boring. Artists like changing their sound so that their fans will keep listening to their music. Besides, Em always has a story to tell on all of his albums and that's what makes him an amazing artist. Plus I think he's an awesome producer too. I bet his next album will be a classic too.
I love Em. But I don't know if any of his albums are *classics* per say. But everyone has a different definition of classic.. For me, it's something that does NOT get tossed off like nothing. An album has to really deserve it imo. To me, a classic means an album with not only replay value.. But it'll leave an impact. On you, your style, and Hip Hop as a whole. Something influential like that, with NO filler tracks that you skip.. Is a classic to me.
No
BQ: 6
Too much pop, Eminem's production is mediocre at best, and very predictable, I don't like how he complains about the music industry so much, I don't like a single one of the guest appearances besides Obie on Drips, half of the album is corny as hell, I think he carried on from the MMLP in a poor manner, as the MMLP was a great carryover and change in direction from the SSLP. 6 is honestly a generous rating.
Yes. It's Eminem's best album.
BQ: 10/10
10/10 one of the best rap albums to ever be released. till i collapse is my favorite eminem song and the style that eminem used in that album in my opinion is his best style.
Yes I do. Those songs were defs the best. I also like Lose Yourself (8 Mile soundtrack?). I also liked Sayin Goodbye to Hollywood.
8/10.
I think Get Rich or Die Tryin' & the Eminem Show were the highlights of both their musical careers before they sold they soul...
Can't blame them for making sh*t music these days though, they don't have enough balls to make real music like Pac in fear of getting shot!
I think that's a classic album. But is best album is The Marshall Mathers LP. That album is the shizzit.
They are WILDIN on these reviews. It was 8.5 out of 10. Marshall Mathers LP was a 10 though.
no but its close to one imo
8/10
