This song really gets to me.

Reminds me of high school. I liked that first album (well, technically it was the second, after Infinite).

You too? This is my anthem: The ode to true love!

infinite and sslp were good albums. what happened

MMLP was awesome, bro! Even The Eminem Show was dope (Personally one of my least favorites from him, though.). Then, Encore came to be, and I don't know WHAT the fuck he was thinking during the process of making that album!

i guess mmlp is tolerable but you can notice a drastic style change from the technical wordsmith to a more charismatic kook. lol

now his whiny voice is just annoying and lyrically he is washed up

I sort of see why you might feel that way. I do honestly feel that his stuff in 1997-2000 was phenomenal and him at his absolute best. I don't know what happened. I miss that smart-ass, witty, clever wordsmith that once was. His flow was immaculate. His multi-syllabic structuring with the couplets and stanzas of his rhymes were so fucking awe-inspiring! *Scoffs* I don't know where to start.

yeah

my favorite type of rhyme style to hear is multible syllable flow mixed with a bunch of internal rhymes and punchlines etc etc,

i wont even listen to a rapper if he doesnt rhyme properly and most of them cant these days (that may be the reason im slowly drifting away from it)

I agree, I liked everything except for 'Encore' that was a crappy, crappy album, I only liked about 3-4 songs.

Eminem has to grow, remember? He can't do the same stuff forever.

If you call Encore any sign of maturing/growing, then pray tell how you can flip that concept as plausible.

"Encore [Aftermath, 2004]
Any lingering doubts that puking and diarrhea noises might effectively forestall maturity were allayed by the crinkled noses and pursed lips they've elicited from arbiters of creativity at Billboard and Cokemachine-glow alike. Except to report tediously that he sounds bored and complain ad infinitum that he's obsessed with the love of his life (plus, right, the beats are no good, details later), how else to objectify the cycle of disinterest inevitably inspired by the mainstreaming of 8 Mile? Me, I say good riddance to his rock dreams, so much vainer than his mosh dreams, and note that said noises are hard to listen to, which is a compliment. Funny, catchy, clever, and irreverent past his allotted time, he can't make records this good forever--no one else has. But I also note that the mostly unreviewed three tracks on the bonus disc keep on pushing--"We as Americans" is a high point. That's rare. A"

We're edging fallacious boundaries. You really have to pull an abstract review that offers this farce of a supposed pinpointing analysis on such a trite body of work. It's a bastard child to the rest of catalog. The oeuvre of vacant value and disdainful-inducing worth. I could throw a bitchfit at that sycophant "IF" I.....were to shove off such an ingeniously constructed caricaturist's diatribe as 100% sincere. Satirized that bubonic plague of an artist's repertoire. That shit was detrimental from day one. "IF" (And only if.) that dude was being sincere (Which I highly doubt and actually have that notion ascertained at about 99% sureness), then I'm forced to say that it is his opinion and I....*Gulps* will have to respect that.

Yeah this reminds me of Yearbook Class in 1998. The first time I ever heard his album after hearing My Name Is...


This was the song that told me that he was a serious rapper.

Now the sequal to this song...is WOAH!

This shit still haunts me.....but in a good way....I think.
