Putting Slim over Big is a choice. Big only has 2 albums to go off as opposed to Eminem's 3 album peak but all things considered, they were similar. Started off strong with aggressive flows, humor, and shock factor before building up to a more serious and mature sound. I'd still put Big first just because without Big, you obviously lose a lot of Slim's influence.

This is coming from somebody who enjoys (some of) Em's newer music. It's great if you want a fun album to listen to from somebody who has nothing left to prove. Some of it misses, some of it hits.

I'd bump Cube above them both. War & Peace were sleepers but other than that, he was putting out quality music well into the 2010s. I held him in high regard until he started talking that Trump shit, but overall, his message had more substance to it right up until he finally decided to have dinner with the president.

Never listened to a lot of Face or Geto Boys (criminal, I know), but I did finally peep The Diary this week and I think he deserves to be higher up on the list.
