Or they just disagree with you.

Actually I was comparing it to the general consensus. I haven't heard anyone say this was even a good album, and 4/5 would mean it's a great album. My opinion is insignificant.

Whats more likely:

Jimmy Iovine is behind a conspiracy to inflate the reviews emienm gets

OR

The person who reviews music for a living at rolliing stone has a different opinion than you do.

Get over her, you want to say. You're thirty-two. But can you even imagine an Eminem song using such language -- much less meaning it, and making it sing?"

What the fuck does this dude mean with that? He totally misunderstood the lyrics to that song. It's not Kim Eminem is refering to in that song, it's his newfound love, some horny 24-year old(groupie or something). It's embarrassing that a big magazine like Rolling Stone print something like this. On "Puke" it's Kim he's talking to, but definitely not on "Crazy In Love". Fuckin idiot! Not even does the rating go against the review, this guy must have wax in his ear!

1) It was a joke you fuck head.


2) It's common knowledge that politics come into play with major magazine reviews. I'm not saying Jimmy paid them off, but it wasn't just one reviewer it is the whole magazine. I bet there's quite few reviewers that gave it a lot less than 4/5. The guy even says it's not as good as MMLP, but MMLP got 4/5, so simple logic tells me this should get less than 4/5.

Petey:
LMAO @ "fuckhead"

ImmortalOne:
Rolling Stone have always been a bunch of fucking idiots when it comes to hip hop anyway.

Remember, this is the SAME magazine that left Tupac out of the top 500 albums of all time, but had ALL three Eminem albums on the list. They are a joke, and always have been a joke. Fuck Rolling Stone. They have absolulty no credibility at all. Leave hip hop to XXL, and stick to rock.

Oh, and Encore a 4/5?? Um, no. More like a -4/5......the album is complete garbage minus three songs.
