Aftermath & Shady Records aint no fuckin dream team...

[Rebel]

I'll be completly honest, I'm an Aftermath fan and I believe they have been on top since '99. But Imma be real as far is critiqing there releases:



Dr. Dre presents...The Aftermath: Had a few good songs, but all in all was very dissapointing. (2/5)

The Firm: The Album: Had a few great songs, but had more wack ones. (2/5)

The Slim Shady LP: This was a very dope album, and a welcome introduction to Eminem. (4.5/5)

Chronic 2001: Extraordinary. This is album is a fuckin' classic. (5/5)

The Marshall Mathers LP: ^^^^^^ (5/5)

The Wash Soundtrack: Dope Soundtrack. (3.5/5)

Truthfully Speaking: A dope album that was heavilly overlooked. (3.5/5)

The Eminem Show: A good album, but a big step down from his previous. (3/5)

Get Rich Or Die Tryin': A very good debut... with alot of great songs, but had a few tracks that were waay too commercially wack. (3.5/5)

ENCORE: Had a few good songs, but Em's experimentation with this LP went to the wack side. (1.5/5)

The Documentary: Dope Album. Great debut. Has it's flaws...but for a begginer, it's hot. (4/5)

The Massacre: A couple good songs, but most of it was boring garbage. (1/5)




As for Shady/G-Unit... only the 8-Mile Soundtrack, Devil's Night, and Str8 Outta Cashville are listenable. The rest is either subpar or wack. I could care less about them, anyway.

How can u call The Firm & Dr. Dre presents The Aftermath good albums and expect ppeople to take ur opinion seriously ?

ENCORE: Had a few good songs, but Em's experimentation with this LP went to the wack side. (1.5/5)

The Massacre: A couple good songs, but most of it was boring garbage. (1/5)

My question for you:

How do you expect people to take your opinion seriously if you rate Encore higher than The Massacre?

LOL!

Simple. Both were wack albums, both had alot of singin', both had average production, BUT ! Eminem still shits on 50 as an mc.

Any more questons ?

i definetely agree with u! here's a prop

[Leggy Hendrix]

Roc-A-Fella's dynasty >>>>>> Shady/Aftermath.

Jigger and Beans alone kill them

[Lil Jay]

2001
Marshall Mathers LP
Slim Shady LP
Truthfully Speaking
Documentary

[Rebel]

The Marshall Mathers LP must be one of the most overrated albums ever

Oh yeah ? How so ?

[Rebel]

Roc-A-Fella's dynasty >>>>>> Shady/Aftermath.

Jigger and Beans alone kill them

yup

How is Roc-a-Fella's dynasty gonna kill them ? Em killed Jigga on his own song, and Beens ? LMAO please... none of them have an album remotely close to 2001. And if you wanna talk commercialism, Jay-Z has put out more pop singles than 50 Cent, lol

[Appetite]

I consider them a dream team beacuse Dre, Em. and 50 are all superstars.

They might not have the greatest roster on THEIR labels, but check it out:

they're businessmen.  They own record labels, which is the biz of selling records.  Have they sold a lot of records? Yes.  If they can make D-12 go platinum.  In their eyes "job done."  I don't agree with a lot of the decisions they make, but you can't deny that their success.  I'd love to see them put out Pharoahe Monch though...and what about Young Zee?

When it's all said and done, you can't deny what they do...even if you don't like their shit.

And I'm not one of their "groupie fans"...just a listener.

I'd like to argue opinions all day with everybody, but I don't have time.

Let's not forget who wrote one of the most memorable songs on 2001. LOL.

The Truth, The Reason, The B.Coming >>>>>> Eminem's albums.

Diplomatic Immunity Disc 1 and 2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>> D-12's albums.

Jigger's weakest album >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Any 50 album.

College Dropout >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Documentary.

Come Home With Me >>>>>>>>>>>>> Cheers.

2001 is the only album Aftermath/Shady got that is sorta unmatchable. So in reality, all but one album from this so called "Aftermath/Shady Dynasty" is as good or better than a Roc's best shit.
