Marshall Mathers LP - In

 

[Goldie]

Already off to a shaky start

 

[Suckio Andretti]

I’m not playing when it comes to classic status this time

We take it for granted because hiphop is trash and niggas just add albums they really liked or if it’s the artist’s best album

No album you have put so far have been a classic including American Gangster

 

[5 Grand]

MMLP shouldn't be in.

That album was all hype and no substance.

 

[Goldie]

Ironically, Take Care >>> the other 3

 

[Nah Son]

MMLP is a classic come on man

Not even an Eminem fan but in terms of production, lyrics, flows, songwriting that album still holds up

Not to mention the impact it had, say what you want about dude but as a white rapper he could have easily went the Vanilla Ice route. He never did and still did those crazy numbers

It has its misssteps like the Kim joint but songs like Kill You, I'm Back, Who Knew, Criminal, Bitch Please are still dope. This was prime Dre too his beats on here are crazy

Stan is one of the best story telling songs ever and made a random name a daily word

Etc etc

I cant believe I'm writing up a closing argument for fucking Eminem lol but it is what it is

 

[5th Letter]

Start over again. Marshall Mathers LP is like putting Glen Rice in the hall of fame.

We gonna start having an electoral college/tribunal for albums now I can already see it.
