Re: Hip Hop Discussion Thread
Marshall Mathers LP is the best album, its what made Eminem we all know today. It has the best lyrics and packed with anger. This was the pinnacle of his career and received all the spotlight from media. This album is hip hop's top 3 album. Also, this is my personal favorite album.
The Eminem Show is the second best album, it shows maturity and growth of Eminem as an artist but lacks previous humour and anger from his first 2 albums. This album shows most heart from Eminem and shows remorse for some things he had. Probably top 5 hip hop album.
Recovery can come in at 3rd imo, because it really rebounds off the atrocious Relapse, and EM feels he needs to pay us back, and make up for the album. Also, I personally HATE Eminem when he plays around, and shi, much like he did on the Slim Shady LP (which I think is the 2nd worst btw), and he was on a much more serious tip here. Also, "Love The Way You Lie" is fucking amazing, and is one of my favorite songs of all time. Yeah. Dead ass.
Anyways, lemme' get some opinions on the instrumentals I'm using on my mixtape. My people feel like I should be using more up to date beats, but I'm actually a lyricist, and not really a catch-sing-song rapper. Here the beats I used:
Dead Presidents II
Made You Look (I Have to Fire Back @ Diggy)
Go To Sleep from Cradle To The Grave OST
Diamonds From Sierra Leone
Back To The Crib
Roc Boys
Hello Brooklyn or Brooklyn Girls kind of split on this one.
She Is Gone
Fuck Today
Drop The World
Paris Tokyo, Dick Pleaser, A Millie (all freestyles)
Imma Be
Grown Simba
Light Up
