I also think the Slim Shady LP was better because this was the more raw Eminem. Marshall Mathers LP is a bit more commercial. Not that that's a bad thing, but still the first LP felt more pure.SSLP>MMLP>EMINEMSHOW>RELAPSE>FROMTHELAB>ENCORE>RECOVERY

It wasn't until after the MMLP came out that I finally started hearing Eminem receiving acceptance from fans. Now it's like an overreaction with fans going back and saying that SSLP was his best album... but I question that... Eminem himself said he got better and progressed as a rapper and producer with each album (up until falling off with Encore), and I agree with that. SSLP was a great album but MMLP was even better (Dre said it's the closest he ever came to producing a perfect album), and then Eminem Show was pretty much a flawless record. Then Eminem reached the climax of his career with "8 Mile Road" and his biggest hit ever and most memorable track "Lose Yourself"....so anyway, my point is that yeah, the Slim Shady LP was a great album. But how many people who love it now were supportin it when it first dropped? For me, it was enough to hear he was signed to Aftermath back in 98', but for most it took his appearances on Dre's album and the MMLP before they finally started jumping on the bandwagon.

I bought the SSLP when it first came out in spring of '99 and it's been a top 10 album of mine EVER since
