I'd say The Eminem Show is easily better than the LP's, which neither aged all that well. Though I agree, I wouldn't put Relapse in front of them, it's easily better than Encore.

I thought you don't like rap Darkest Hour?

Eminem Show is prbably his worst Alejo, first 2 were the best

Darkest Hour

eminem show is good too. I like all three of those albums. It's all an opinion though. Marshal Mathers LP brings back so many memories and some of my favorite songs are on it. The Real Slim shady = epic

Dude, underground is so sick though. I would at least say it is up there with the older stuff.

haha, i don't. I used to listen to nothing but rap when i was younger though. I was obsessed with eminem for several years when he released his lp's.

Eminem Show he touched on actual subjects instead of just trying to be shocking with his LP's. And I doubt you're including Infinite as part of his first two, but if you were as good as his rhyme flows were on that the production was flat horrible. The shock appeal of the LP's just didn't age well and isn't all that impressive looking back.

Eminem Show has a multitude of tracks that are actually Em expressing something not going for just the "shock" that he so often does.

The MMLP has Stan and The Way I am. The SSLP has maaaybe Guilty Conscience. They have no substance besides that. Good albums with incredible flow and rhyme patterns and I still consider them great CD's, but can't touch the subject value of Eminem Show.

drips
business

soldier is the best song on the album imo

Til I Collapse is my favorite probably...but it's on my gym list so maybe just from hearing it all the time

on top of what you already mentioned there's Cleanin out My Closet and Sing for the Moment. Just much more consistent than his other CD's...though I probably choosing between either LP or Eminem Show wouldn't be some out of no where choice.
