I'd say it's in my top two from them. Just incredible.

I haven't had the urge to really listen to Eminem in a while. even the albums I like, I've just lost any desire to pick them back up. there's just too much that hasn't aged well in his lyrics and even a lot of the production on his albums isn't that great tbh. add into that he hasn't made a decent album in a decade and a half, and that his "classics" are looking worse as time goes on, it makes it hard to justify really revisiting any of it.
Just resub for a month for it if it’s announced. Even I’ll jump back in for the one month for that...
It is incredible I agree. Over the years I have really just learned to love SSLP so much more. There isnt much between his first 3 albums tbf but Eminem Show will always come 3rd

I will say that, regardless of how I feel about him nowadays, "Square Dance" from The Eminem Show is still among my favorite rap songs

That's a hot take if I've ever heard one

I love the new profile pic!
Not really. The excessive violent homophobia make it unlistenable.

You're acting like a one month subscription is still a thing.

That's fair. I think I can look past it though, idk if that's a bad thing or not

I switched to a one-month (from a 3-month - cycle ended in June) to get Africa Brasil. Are you saying that if I drop VMP completely in the future, I wouldn’t be able to rejoin for just one month down the road?

Wasn't there something that said past members that previously did a one-month sub could sign back up in a 1 month sub later?

Ah... songs for the deaf is worth 3 months, I can keep classics as the main. I’m still ENORMOUSLY sceptical that anything on that post will come to fruition...

Yeah I thought I heard that, too, but I’ve only ever been on the 3-month sub.

I mean, until this month. Maybe that’s the trick - switch to a one-month subscription before cancelling completely haha.

IDK I have yet to cancel to see if it's true

this is definitely a big issue I have trying to go back. while I don't demand political correctness from artists and I try to keep in mind the time period in which things came out, late 90s-early 2000s Eminem built most of his public persona on pissing off soccer moms and being a snotty white punk kid that tried to get a rise out of people. he's a technically gifted rapper but going back and listening to older songs removed from that context, it just all seems so unnecessary. plus, even as recent as 2018, he used a gay slur against Tyler, the Creator, so yeah, it's hard to defend him on that front.
