Post by: Jome on October 12, 2002, 07:04:00 PM: Please don't vote if there's some tracks you haven't heard, e.g. the new tracks from the soundtrack.

Yo homie...
I'm not An Eminem Hater...lol

I'm a hater of his Fanatic's who claim he's the messiah of rap... ;)

But to answer your question homie, I belive his next joint will be more like that track listing you posted: pretty much everything you listed was tight except for a couple of loose end's I would have clipped...like
"Business"
"Say what you say"
"Square dance" tight beat's....but the content was azz crack and should have been left off the lp. ImO

I can't be a hater If I own all of his studio material, including "D-12"s (Devils night) & his "Infinite" lp......I mean I can, but I ain't.
I've stated before that when Eminem is on....he does great music, when he makes garbage it sit's there like a stale fish, stinkin' up the place....like "Quitter".

Thanx for the shout-out homie..
I'm not a hater tho...I can't hate someone who is doing their thang.

Hatesrats 2oo2

Post by: Myrealname on October 13, 2002, 05:18:44 AM: THE BIG QUESTION IS:CAN AN ALBUM BE ONLY GOOD AND NOT CLASSIC ? ? ?
BELIEVE ME,THERE ARE ONLY A FEW CLASSIC ALBUMS....THE OTHER ARE TIGHT BUT NOT CLASSIC.
DONT USE THE TERM CLASSIC FOR EVERY ALBUM.
AN ALBUM CAN BE A CLASSIC AFTER SEVERAL YEARS....NOT 1 OR 2 WEEK (like u said for Man vs Machine).

Post by: Don Seer on October 13, 2002, 05:41:36 AM: yeah people are obssessed with albums being classic.

Whereas they might be 'best of artist'... but not a real classic.

Post by: LyRiCaL_G on October 13, 2002, 06:16:34 AM: i didnt aktually appreciate this album as well as i should have when i first heard it, after listenin through sslp, mmlp and eminem show in the last week then 8 mile, i realise how his stepped up lyrically on each album n now realise that while eminem show wasnt a classic, it was near it, but like haterats said, his next album should be the one, it should be full of songs like, 8 mile, loose yourself, sing for a moment etc n his really gonn touch ppl then, but yeah with that track listin, near classic.

i aint no eminem groupie either, i jus say what i thinks good or wack, even if its someone i like listenin to, but eminem show was a great album, but his next should be classic material if he continues to make deep songs

Nope, wrong as always, I never called Man vs. Machine classic.
Read before you answer!!
"The Eminem Show" WAS a good solid album, but with some fillers, and in the tracklist i put up, there's 4 new joints, and I cut a few ones.
I bet you haven't even heard the new ones, because some of them are brilliant.

I know I can't change the tracklist, but what if Eminem waited with the OST & his album, and rearranged it? Then, how good would his album be..

Post by: Murrow on October 13, 2002, 08:40:30 PM: I think y'all label albums classics waaaaaaaaaaay too fast. Chill out, that name should only be used for albums that change the game.

Post by: S.G.V. on October 14, 2002, 01:06:34 AM: man....no eminem cd is classic...it needs to have replay value...i listen to it for one week and after i cant stand it...ill take it out and listen to it every few months but i just skim thru....even with those modifications...it still wouldnt be classic...not even near classic...classic is used n abused like the word gangsta....

Post by: closetothalimit on October 14, 2002, 01:53:58 AM: Eminem needs to get out of his own ass to create a classic, i know alot of rappers self praise but he really gets on my nerves.

and you would have to get rid of say what you say from that tracklist to get above an average, i hate that song with a passion.

Post by: D.R.E.-Dogg on October 14, 2002, 03:53:49 PM: I think u should have added 'Love Me' it very dope in my opinion.
I think your tracklist is Not classic, but still very dope

Title: Re:Poll: How "Eminem Show" could have been classic.
Post by: West Coast Veteran on October 14, 2002, 06:42:25 PM: 2001 was the last true classic.
