i gave this album the benefit of the doubt. i saw that rhianna & pink were on it but i didnt judge it too quickly cause eminem can create some pretty good songs with the weirdest features however this time he didn't deliver (imo). and yes, all those songs you mentioned suck. its funny because eminem is one of my favorite artists too. i liked MMLP & Relapse the best of out his whole catalog. When relapse came out people criticized the shit out of em for the accent or what not but it was him just being raw. He said he did what proof wanted him to do on relapse and that was lose his fucking mind, so to me it felt like he was just being himself. this album sounds like the critics forced him into a new style that appeals to the pop culture. hes talks about feeling sorry about dissing people and what not and its like wtf? but whatever im not trying to change nobodies opinion just pointing out this album is straight soft.

all good man, I can respect that as your opinion
I'm just saying don't come in here saying we all like the album because we're used to listening to gay pop music... you don't really know what I listen to... so don't assume that shit
the majority of the people on here say the album is dope... and I'm guessing that the majority of the people on here don't listen to "gay pop music"

lol... I hear ya. The part that really threw me off was: "I almost made a song dissin Lil Wayne...Almost went at Kanye too...Thank god that I didn't do it, I would of had my ass handed to me." Lol...are you serious, Em? Get your ass handed to you by Lil Wayne and Kanye?
Oh and this line I thought was hilarious, too: "Are you stupid? You gon' start dissin people for no reason? Especially when you can't even write a decent punchline even."
Umm, haven't you BEEN dissing people for no reason your entire career??? Vanilla Ice, Brittney Spears, Mariah Carrey, Nick Cannon, Christopher Reed, Backstreet Boys, NSync, etc., etc. He built his career on dissing people for no reason, lol.

end thread.....
Marshall Mathers LP was cool and all, an undisputed classic, but it was one of those things where u had to be there.....with the exception of the Eminem Show, Em's material hasnt aged well. I don't think I've listenined to the MMLP once in the last 5 years...where as if you were to take Ready To Die, its easily BIG's best material, same with Jay-z; Reasonable Doubt and Blueprint and I listen to each of those albums at least once a month.....this could end up being Em's best work in his catalogue.....

Ah, but you, sir, are also assuming. Unless Eminem himself states that he was, in fact, referring to getting his ass handed to him by fans and critics, then my *assumption* is no worse than yours.
As I've mentioned, Eminem made a career out of dissing people "for no reason," and catching hell from critics.

Got all his albums on my iphone and still bump slim shady lp & ep along with MMLP quite a bit. They will never get old in my book. Good music that has actually made a dent in my life will always be in my playlist, no matter who thinks its wack. Music is my life so it may be different for other people but music actually has meaning to me. And this album has so much emotion and replay value its rediculous. Can't comment on if its a classic or not yet but, I am lovin it so far.
