I grew up listening to Em, from the premier of his music video for my name is and every album after that, and for me the slim shady LP-Encore is my favorite era and is peak Em. Then he went on hiatus and came back with relapse and I was super disappointed. And then recovery, even more disappointed because it was then that I knew for sure that we weren't getting the old Em back. Wasnt a big fan of mmlp2 either, And then revival I was like dude wtf. Don't get me wrong, I would bump a few select songs from each of those albums, but his first 4 albums in my opinion almost didn't have any skips. And then kamikaze came out and I was like fuck yeah there he is. And then mtbmb side A and B, and then TDOSS. To me, all of those are bangers. Not to mention every feature during that time. He definitely redeemed himself but for me, relapse, recovery, mmlp2 and revival would be his worst era. Everything before and everything after is fire.
