illmatic, i try to think of different albums that aren’t listed, but it’s commonly referred to as the best hip-hop album for a reason.
off topic here but i figure wtf, why not: of the people who said(or feel) that MM LP is Em’s greatest album can u explain to me wat makes it better than the eminem show in ur opinion? dnt get it twisted MM LP is a close second in my book(and infinite is creeping up the list every time i listen) but i feel like the eminem show is jus a overall better album. i’ve heard and seen everyone else say MM LP is his best but i never really heard an explanation of why.
and to answer the question in the post: eminem show, blueprint, college dropout, late registration, back for the first time and word of mouf (luda), man on the moon to name a few.

@Drake Fucked XXL uo
hmm i see where your going with that list but idk, i can def see jay elect, kanye, j cole, detox lol, and probly drake but the others idk if they will. wales album was good but i feel like they forced him to try and make too much pop sounding music. saigon ive never been to much of a fan of so thats just my opinion speaking cuz it probly will be good. the adventures of bobby ray could be but i think that with how music is today, he’ll kind of get the wale treatment, i mean itll be good no doubt but i think after how successful the first single was i bet they tried to shove it with pop songs, but who knows maybe not and its gonna be like a outkast album but still b.o.b.
