I listen to Criminal Minded about once a week and its 30+ years old.

Now that's a classic.

I'd say Slim Shady LP

that shit was hard, and nothing was the same after it

The Slim Shady LP
The Marshall Mathers LP
The Eminem Show

Are bonafide classics to both Hip-Hop and popular culture. I get he's white so niggas on here don't wanna give him just due but objectively and keeping it 100, Marshall is crazy talented and he has classics. Love him or hate him you can't take that away from him.

I remember when those albums dropped and what the climate was like. Nobody was denying that he had skills. The problem was the total package of the music itself, and the songs he (or his label) chose as singles didn't help.

Close your eyes and listen to NWA, A Tribe Called Quest, The Roots, Snoop, Nas, Jay, 2Pac, 36 Mafia, UGK, Outkast, Wu Tang. Then listen to those three Eminem albums you called classic. One of these things is not like the other.

In all seriousness, lyrics aren't enough to make an album a classic. It's not just the beats, its the way it all comes together.

In my opinion Em has individual songs that are classics, but I don't like his overall sound.

When I say, "overall sound" I mean like the way Public Enemy, Snoop, or Wu Tang have a distinct sound.

Eminem's music has a distinct sound that just doesn't fit in with the style of Hip Hop I'm accustomed to.

I hope that doesn't make me a hater.

The Slim Shady LP
The Marshall Mathers LP
The Eminem Show

I voted 2 classics but couldve easily said 3 with these same exact picks

BUT

I get that hes not 'relatable' to everyone tho i wonder if the same ppl who say that are square yet listen to 'shoot em up kill kill' lyrics

[Rickyrich]

this is nigga always running to save his slave master . let that EM defend himself

 

[Natural Born Sinners]

I would be pretty similar, but switch 'Eminem Show' with MMLP haha Eminem Show has some great songs, 'Im A Solider' and 'Say Goodbye To Hollywood' are ridiculous...

I liked both those joints lol. Especially the G-Unit version. I had a version that had em ,50 and banks

 

[Natural Born Sinners]

This shit has all the material needed for Eminem to make "Stan part 3"
