Can't believe its been a whole decade since MMLP dropped. I remember how crazy that album sounded the first spin around.. "Who Knew" is still my favorite joint off that album, really damn near all the material on MMLP is dope, maybe a couple of tracks throw it off but it's still a classic 8)
-
The buzz for this album was insane.
-
one of my favorite albums off all time! 8)
instant classic from start to finish; i still bump this all the time. 8)
-
Not tryin' to hate here, but damn, this album is waaay overated. Got love for Em, though.

To each their own, but to me, this is the only certified 5 star banger from Em - Dre was in the "zone" @ that point in his career, Em had something on that album i haven't heard since, but w/e, and one of the rare "just press play" records where you don't skip anything - everything just flows perfectly
-
10 years later...and still bump it 8) 8)

Best Eminem album. I remember Dre was saying this was the closest thing to a 'perfect album' that hes produced.
-
MMLP used to be my fav eminem album, but ive grown to like The slim shady lp more for some reason. Role Model and brain damage are probably my two favourite em tracks of all time. Although Marshall mathers off the mmlp is def in the top 5 :D
-
over rated album
does have a few BANGERS on it though, like Amityville and Remember Me
-
I can still bump from start to finish. Easily my favorite Eminem album. Obviously on this forum, there's a lot of cats who will disagree but to me, this album is probably the greatest release, artistically, from a Dr. Dre protege.
-
Best Eminem album.
+1

For real, this album is filled with classics. "The Way I Am" is still my favourite Em track to date, album is a 5 star certified banger!
-
Ten years already, damn I'm old. I remember getting this in my senior year of high school.
A great album.
-
Got this shit on two tapes, I clearly remember zoning to WHo Knew and pseudo-breakdancing to the real slim shady.good times
For real though, a great album to me from top to bottom
-
SSLP is better imo but only slightly dope fuckin album
-
I was only in like 4th grade when this album dropped and that's when I got my EDITED copy of it haha, years later got a normal one though... classic album for sure 8)
-
great album!
-
Classic album. Easily one of the best in the last decade, imo.

Top 3 for sure imo

Nice thread idea, makes me feel old though... That album came out right as I was graduating high school.
I think the greatest compliment ever paid to this album was when Dr. Dre said that it was "The Closest He's Ever Been To The Perfect Album!" That is such a great compliment from Dre for his work and Em's work on the album.
I remember when I first heard it I was totally blown away. "Kill You" started off and Eminem was just totally going off on that track, it was clear he had taken rap to a whole nother level it had never been before. Then "Stan" comes on, and you have possibly the greatest story telling track ever, over another MONSTER beat. So your like, okay... no way he can top this, then a couple of bangers later he hits you with "The Way I AM" and your like, okay.. that's it... rap will never be the same again!
-
thus one of my all time favorite eminem albums of all time even though he's one of my influences n this rap game...but my fav track of that album gotta b "stan" 8)
-
Good album but I didn't like it as much as some people. Great Dre production but Em just didn't appeal to me as much on this one as he did on SSLP, Infinite, or even the Eminem Show.
-
Ten years already, damn I'm old. I remember getting this in my senior year of high school.
A great album.
I feel that lol
-
Great album but i prefered his raw style on SSLP. One of the best albums ever.
-
every song on this album to me is classic; each has it's own special meaning to me.
not one song is a song that i would even consider skipping over.
-
I always considered this album to be the "Doggystyle" to Dre 2001's "The Chronic", in which Dre dropped his record and then not too long after, his two biggest proteges left a huge impact with their own career defining albums.
-
Shit ten years son.
:o :o :o :o
Eminems best album. Heated product
-
mm lp was a banger... never skipped any tracks, it reminds me of my high school days
just putting on my head phones and listening to "stan" with my sony discman.. def made the class
periods go by faster

Yeah, this album was the perfect soundtrack to the depression phase of my life that I had been going through from 97-2000... I like to think it gave me an outlet for my emotions because that was the year I finally came out of it.
-
Classic album. Best Eminem album and the only Eminem album I still listen to. Far from perfect.
-
far from perfect, because?

Whoa, you kinda went back on yourself there.
-
I consider MMLP and Eminem Show both to be flawless albums. MMLP is probably a little more historic then Eminem Show with tracks like "Stan" and "Way I Am", and the phenomenal success of "Real Slim Shady" being the perfect lead single that performance at the VMA's with all the Eminem look-alikes was classic.
I consider "Lose Yourself" and "8 Mile Road" to be Em's best songs but for the time in which it came out and selling 1.8 million first week at hieght of Napster I think that that was Eminems greatest moment of his carear was the release of MMLP, remember he was arrested that week for gun-butting that guy his wife was messing round with, and the Up and Smoke Tour and everything else that was Em's signature moment!
-
Don't forget KIM that track is R.A.W. :o
-
you sayin jus for this album or em in general? lol
Not tryin' to hate here, but damn, this album is waaay overated. Got love for Em, though.
-
Top 20 album of hip hop of all time.Every song is amazing and ems lyrics and flow were just on another level.He brought the best part of underground hip hop and meshed it with mainstream in a way thats really never been duplicated.
-
far from perfect, because?
I can't listen to "Kim", it's actually quite irritating and horrendous to my ears. Both D-12 featured songs are mediocre and I actually always skip them not because they are wack but just forgettable. Those few flaws don't mean it can't be a classic album because the rest of the songs are pretty much all classic or at least great songs, by my definition classic doesn't mean perfect. Everyone has different opinions those are mine.
-
Kim could be my favourite song off the album :)

There's only one song with D12 on it? Unless your thinking of Remember Me with Bizaree and Sticky Fingaz? But you can't be cos that song is fucking incredible

On "under the influnce" Proof verse was just 8) 8)

Kim and Stan were my favorite tracks when I first bought the album. Not one shitty cut on there if you ask me. Some of the ones I wasn't feeling at first ended up growing on me.
-
theres only so much of cleaning out m closet and way i am you can listen to....lol
-
Wrong album, fam.
-
it is but its his damn style..why in the _ _ _ _ do you people love and adore em so much?
its the production that makes him...haha

I don't think there are any perfect album.
I don't think anybody could make a PERFECT album...

You give them same Dre beats to the majority of West Coast rappers and you get three 16-bar verses about smoking weed and lowriders, you give them to Eminem and he comes up with fucking "Kill You". Haven't heard too many people that Dre works with doing anything like that. If anything, I think he's one of the least reliant on production out there. Truth is most WC rap fans would rather hear some generic rapper from the Coast spit the same style then actually listen to someone who has their own style.

nice post
-
The production makes eminem?Not a chance....he can outspit 95 percent of rappers in battles and can turn around make stan which could possibly be the greatest story telling track ever in hip hop.And then turn around and make cleaning out my closet.Not many rappers have the diversity he has.

Wrong album, fam.
lol, i think you're shooting yourself in the foot with this one.

great post.
i'm not saying that other rappers couldn't have done a good job over that beat, but Eminem really did his thing on Kill You.
-
em has his own style, but is he as great as some make him out to be, IMO no but talkin about killin your mom, cryin about mariah, cryin about nick etc....nah im cool he dont deserve those beats
but yeah stan was/is a good song and one of his best
its the production that makes him...haha

Lol
-

Time to give this album a spin right now 8)

you really think so?
i love Amityville, Eminem really went off on that one.
-
B please 2 is the weaker in my opinion, nuthin xtra.
The B please is much better.
Don't know why they make a part 2?!?!
??? ???
-
i prefer it over the first version
-
Do you?
-
yep, better beat, better hook & a nice collaboration overall
-
OK, I don't think the same, but it is ok!
The opposite: my favourite tracks is the way i am (+rock remix with marilyn manson), and remember me (everybody know the story of that track?!)
-
Sticky fingaz verse might have been the best verse on the album lol
-
nope, but Em said once time, after he heard Sticky's verse. He deleted his' and spend 2 weeks for writing his lirycs again.
Didn't you read it? Or hear it?!
-
To me it might have been the best verse on the album.Sticky went off.
-

Just listened to that rock remix, not digging the new beat really, maybe just cos the original melody was so ill it wasn't to be fucked with lol. The hook was sounding pretty dope though haha

'remember me' was originally slated for dre's album, so i dunno how em had to re-record his verse cause sticky's wouldve been on there first
the time period between sslp and mmlp make those two albums those two my favourite albums ever. normally they'd be the albums that would end up being played over a 2-3 days period of hittin parties and clubs. dope times! i still listen to those 2 albums about twice a week each too, can't believe its been 10 years already for this album. damn.
