3 classics plus Recovery and some ignorant people still hate on him because of he’s white. People need to cut that shit out. Lol even your favourite rapper name him G.O.A.T.(with the exception of jay and wayne- 2 of de most overrated in de game)

I agree with the eminem show thing, also recovery is a dope album, its like the evolution of an artist, its like people illmatic, not saying anything of em’s is like illmatic, but em isnt the same dude he was 11 years ago just like nas aint the dude he was 17 years ago, artists evolve and more people need to respect that.

@ Eskee
The Slim Shady lp is the fan favorite and was him at his hungriest, with somethin to prove. About the Eminem show Your fuckin stupid, The Eminem show was his most complete album hands down, that is the very definition of classic, the album has so many great songs on it ,
it is almost like its a greatest hits album. Dudes on here be on some straight dumb shit.To call him over rated is the dumbest thing any one can say and proves to everyone you havent really been listening to his music and if so probably his popular shit. Dig deep into his music and you will hear some shit that will change your mind.
People like to hate just to get a rise out of people, or either out of straight bias. Do everyone a favor and listen to a majority of someones music before you decide to call them over rated. Labeling him that is like labeling any other great artist as over rated.

Thats cool, anyone who says eminem isnt lyricist may have to go back for a 2nd listen, most definatley one of the best to ever do it, also i found out outkast went diamond with sb/lb.

@Eskee. U are actually clueless saying MMLP is the only Classic Em has and seems biased to me. Get Slim shady Lp Bro, for sizzle u are gonna like it more. Brief Review…if you have tough skin, and I mean really tough skin, this album is the way to go. From a censorers point of view, this album and Marshall Mathers LP are without a doubt, the most disgustingly explicit, offensively profane, vulgar, violent product of all the common media. From a listeners point of view, it it dominates all albums because of its mentally challenging inspiration, sophisticated lyrics, and its exceptional production. This album is Eminem’s best, no comparison. My advice: I you are willing to let your mind explore a world of gut-busting violence and ear-splitting profanity, buy this album. But be aware, I am not exagerrating the obscenity of this exceptional album. If you enjoy Eminem but are not willing to exceed the limits of profanity, go with the Eminem Show or Encore. If not, buy this. My favorite song is Still Don’t Give a F***.

Well said especially the one on BIG. He got all his Buzz after his death but probably in my top 5. Em in my Top 3.

@Eskee. I don’t think he is overrated either. If there is any overrated rapper, that has to be Jay-z. Btw, Slim Shady lp is classic too and for u to say that only MMLP is classic means u don’t know sh!t about Eminem and probably u listen to only Mainstream. Get Slim Shady Lp, i bet u will like it more than MMLP

You are wrong dawg. Eminem show is often debated to be his best by critics and fans. I prefer it myself !!!

Em raps cricles around pac/BIG at the same time. Don’t get me wrong Pac is the illest for me and represented the black culture to the fullest and on another token he stood up against the illuminati and thats why he is dead. R.I.P. Pac. As for BIG well he was one hell of a freestyler but he aint even on Em’s level sorry. On top of that Big only sold major units after he died. Ready to Die is 10x better than Life after death but Life After Death sold more and eventually went diamond primarily because of the buzz his death made. He was Big Poppa and made awesome music but he number 3 on most but he falls to like 8 for me. Em has three classics under his belt out of 7 albums, I bet ur favorite rapper don’t have 3 classic albums, Jay-z has more than 11 albums and only 2 is considered classic(Reasonable Doubt and Blueprint), If i call Black album a classic then Recovery is also a Classic. Its actually just one that is a classic and that’s Blueprint, reasonable Doubt did not make too much impact and did not elevate him to superstar status, Eminem Gained Mainstream, Popularity, Critical respect and superstar success from Slim Shady Lp(His best to me). Dude deserves to be among the top three GOATS. Btw, Am black !!!! Ya, Em being white is a bonus for him but u niggaz should stop acting as if u dont Buy his albums(You probably do more).

The was a classic, but I think that Eminem is vastly overrated because this is the only classic album he’s ever had, and the Eminem show was good, but not classic

@marv wow dude u reali got diarrhea of d mouth…Eminem is number 1! I bet u aint heard the new songs he is releasin, everyone has been shot, echo n celebrity for example, how d fcuk r u gona say he gone commercial, Em duznt ask ppl 2 cop his albums so dont say he sells higher cos he’s white! He raps cos he loves rap! If Wayne, Jay, Drake or Kanye dnt sell as much as Em dnt say its cos he white, people dnt like their shit n dats it!

I think Jay-Z’s lines in “A Star Is Born” pretty much sums this up…
“Wayne did a milli, 50 did a milli
‘Ye too but what Em did was silly
The white boy blossomed after Dre endorsed him
His flow on ‘Renegade,’ fuckin awesome, applaud him “

Hell yeah it did, especially helped that he’s a white rapper who wasnt shitty. Even Vanilla Ice sold albums at first. If not for Eminem there would still be one hit wonder white rappers/groups every other year like there was in most of the 90′s
