Ok then, no, because i still think he has it in him to make a dope album.

[Shallow]

Even if he puts out shit album after shit album, his '99 to '03 run will always be his legacy. I remember when Favre was coming back this yeear and everyone was wondering about his legacy and how it'll look if he stinks it up this year and someone on TV said when you think Jerry Rice you think 49ers and Superbowls, not Oakland Raiders. The greats are remembered for their best years. Eminem has nothing to worry about.

he needs to un-retire to restore his legacy in my opinion.....currently it's very damaged....the new song is very encouraging tho....

[Lunatic]

That's it right there.

His legacy will always remain. "The Slim Shady LP" is a classic.

I voted no because he fell off after "The Marshall Mathers LP" and it's gotten worse with each album.

Dre in detroit recording with em these days.. its going to be a beast, even though i dont really like his music.

+1 for both of ya.. cheerss

no; a possible failure wouldn't damage his legacy.
Encore didn't really damage his legacy either.

the Eminem show was a backward step when looking at the marshall mathers lp; then it got a lot worse with Encore, which was a huge let down.

while there's a chance that the new album will be worse or as bad as Encore, i really doubt it will actually turn out that way.
since Eminem takes the time with this one, i think it will be better; whether that's good enough remains unknown.

No way, how can you say that?

Eminem's greatest song ever is "Lose Yourself" and decades from now it will be remembered as his signature song.  I feel like 8 Mile was when he reached the apex of his carear and finally achieved his dream of having his story told to the whole world.  And the title track "8 Mile Road" is a personal favorite of mine.

Also, the Eminem Show is his best album in my opinion.

Still, I will agree with you that his era from 98's Slim Shady EP until up to summer of 2000 with Marshall Mathers LP Eminem was brilliant.  But I don't agree with you that he fell off after the Marshall Mathers LP, I think he remained brilliant until he finally said everything he had to say and had his story told to the world with the 8 Mile project.
