Stillmatic - 5 micsBlueprint - 5 micsEminem Show - 4 mics I done bought my last The SauceFrom here on it's just XXL for meI'm gonna shit on every topic discussing The Sauce's rating system, and how many mics the albums get.FUCK 'EM
I couldn't find the review online, so I typed it out. Picture this: In one corner a blonde haired blue eyed contender with a devastating blow and his first shot at the title. Standing opposite, a champion who could be one of any of the following: a 6 foot something brooklynite with blueprint trunks known for hitting below the belt, or a smaller cat out of queensbridge who climbed the ranks by outsmarting his opponents. Or better yet, an older guy with a tattooed microphone on his arm brought outta retirment to defend the title one last time. Imagine the threat. The result could quite possibly be scary. Eminems lyrical composite nears complexity, humor, entertainment, and reality, topped with an incredible on beat flow, Eminem is a pound for pound monster. And as seen on his prior albums the sslp, and the mmlp high lighted by songs like stan and guilty conscience, he has better songwriting skills than the average rap scribe. Lyrically his third album, the eminem show, supports his cause. The lead off single without me flaunts the idea that eminem might triumph in what could be the best battle hip hop has ever seen. Rhyme after ryhme he comes correct, dropping jewels at an incredible pace. Then he boldly spits "thogh I'm not the first king of controversy I am the worst thing since elvis prestly to do black music so selfishly and use it to get myself wealth. Hey, eminem doesn't deny whats going on here. He is fully aware that the color of his skin has earned him a place in hip hop that he might not have otherwise. Truth of the matter is, there are probably a million rhyme animals in the hood that could knock the top dawgs out their spot. But they won't have the chance to. Marshall has the opportunity and he'll be damned if he doesn't prove his worthiness among hip hop's elite. This he knows is the only way to earn the respect he so anxiously awaits.So on till I collapse, he extends an invitation: "soon as a verse starts I eat MC's heart/what is he thinkin how not to go against me smart/... the fact is I would rather sit back and bomb some rappers/ so this is like a full blown attack I'm launching at em/ the track is on some battling rap who wants some static/ cuz I don't really think that the fact that I"m slim matters/ a plaque and platinum status is wack if I'm not the baddest".But if it's a battle that slim shady wants, then it's a battle he'll get. Only it won't be a championship bout just yet. The more likely opponent first time out will be rapper canibus, who called em out on his last lp. Em takes a couple of shots back on his new album. I'll be breif and let me just keep shit simple, canibitch don't want no beef with slim/ not even on my radar so won't you please jump off my didck, lay off and stay off, he angrily raps on square dance. Then on say what you say he brings canibus up again.. If you ever mix me up or confuse me with a canibus or dre with a dupri/ we'll rub it in in every club your in, we'll have you black balled and make sure you never rap a fuckin'gain. Where previous disses have been directed at lame ducks such as Britney Spears, Moby or Nsync, Em takes a swing at someone relevant to the sport of hip hop. When he's picking a fight with someone who can swing back, em makes great hip hop. And when he does so over a dre produced track, it's even better. Say what you say, and business sound like they belong on the third installment of the Chronic. (HINT: Dre, Save hip hop please!) But because Dre is only responsible for 2 of the albums cuts, eminem loses momentum. The problem here lies in Ems choice to produce most of the LP's tracks. He satisfies the "pop" (read: "white") audience with an aerosmith rmake (sing for the moement) and the rock influenced White America. Which will most likely be fast foward by most hip hop heads. Ironically on the latter, Em comes off as a threat to caucasians in power. But actually, eminem is at his best when he reaches a compromise. On cleaning out my closet, mr mathers discloses his own personal drama. ANd it's the true to life rhymes that speak to hiphop and everyone, for that matter. The songs slow tempo make it easier for to concentrate on what Em is saying. Rather than the spewing a few punch lines at his mother, Em goes into detail about his issues with her. And on Superman, slim unfolds the truth to the male psyche. He admits that being your superman is not on his agenda (unless of course you are mariah). He rambles, but I guess thats just what sluts do/ how could it ever be just us two/ Id never love you enough to trust you/ we just met and I just fucked you. Whatever. So why isn't MM holding his breath? (five mics in the source, Ain't holdin my fuckin breath) Probably because he knows that with the Em show, he hasn't done anything new. (see redmans whut the album 1992) Theres alot to be considered when determining whether an album is a hip hop classic. Originality is one, growth is another. The list goes on, but you get the point. First week sales for the Eminem show were somewhere around 1.3 mil. But to the hip hop community it doesn't mean shit. Some of our icons never even went gold. Eminem knows he still has a lot to prove. And when the day comes for him to do so, we'll be sitting front row.
llllllllllllllol you gonna boycott the source just because of their fucked up rating system, thats too much funny...if the source would have gave 5 mics to em, i know most people here would be happy but some people here would still diss the source for their rating system , and they would say that the source now give too much classic status, people already bitchin about the source giving classic mark on blueprint and stillmatic, but first they were all happy as fuck, strange :-/
