Ryan, The Eminem Show is my second favorite . He does show some old style on Recovery, which is also a great album, but I hate how he's going so mainstream . Now all the bandwagon kids are going to start talking about how he's the greatest, just because of Recovery .
Just like people did with Lil Wayne . He was amazing, before the Carter III . Then he went all mainstream, & now he sucks . I don't want that to happen to Em .
But back on topic . Eminem puts everything he has into his lyrics, & I've NEVER heard something by him & been disappointed . That's hard to find with modern day rappers .
& Also, Eminem & Slim Shady are two different "people" . For example, The Slim Shady LP, The Marshall Mathers LP, Encore, Relapse, & Relapse: Refill is mainly Slim Shady . He's the more violent, "I don't give a fuck" type . The Eminem Show & Recovery is more Eminem . He focuses mainly on real life, every day problems . He's not nearly as violent when he raps as Eminem .
I just like Marshall Mathers LP because he just went balls out, & said exactly what he thought . No remorse, no sympathy . I love that . He was on some "fuck everybody" type shit .
EDIT: & There's also his more underground shit that the more mainstream people haven't heard . & the shit he's done with D12 . It's all amazing . He just switches up his style .
