    This album changed music forever. When I heard it for the first time, it was like being punched in the gut or putting your hand on an electric fence. There was nothing like it at the time. It's an incredible nuanced and intelligent album that has depth, and violence that is somehow both gratuitous and poetic. Anyone who doesn't think this is a classic is biased or doesn't realise that no album this century has hit with as much shock and awe. This hit like a sledgehammer

Songs like: just lose it, rain man, big weenie, puke, my 1st single, ass like that, crazy in love, evil deeds are all bad (even if you think they're funny or some shit like that, they're still bad). There are like 5 good songs on there (excluding bonus tracks), but the only great ones are probably never enough, like toy soldiers and yellow brick road. It's a 4.5/10 at best, the only worse album he made us revival which, while having less low points, basically has no high points and is mostly boring with very few highlights.

    We throw around “for the culture” loosely in 2019 and 2020. But the MM LP shook not just black culture, but American culture. I can still see my black, white, Latin, and Asian classmates playing this album from the 1st track to the last, no skipping, and every skit was classic.

    • @brianatippens3010

      This album didn’t do much for hip hop. This was a gimmicky pop album with some dark twists. Kendrick’s TPAB did more for hip hop than Em’s album did in far less time.
      I honestly don’t think any of his albums are true hip hop classics. Eminem does not have a single album in his discography that could stand next to TPAB, or Kanye’s The College Dropout, Late Registration, Graduation, MBDTF, or Dre’s The Chronic, or Jay-Z’s The Blueprint, or Biggie’s Ready to Die, or Eric B and Rakim’s Paid in Full, or Lauryn Hill’s The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, I could go on and on.
      There is no way any true hip hop fan is naming any of Eminem’s hip pop albums as classics. It’s unthinkable.
