    Jayz has corny singles too.....but he has classics

    Jay and ems singles are usually the worst songs on their albums

    I'll take H To The IZZO and Hardknock Life over The Real Slim Shady and Without Me.

    He had some nice joints but I don't consider them classics.

    He has more than one classic. The tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all. The morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all. Even if I could it'd all be grey but the picture on my wall. It reminds me that it's not so bad... not so bad
    He got 3 classics y'all hating... Marshall Mathers LP is the highest selling album in music of the 2000's (2000-2009) .. his other classics are the Eminem Show in 2002 and the Recovery in 2010... The Eminem Show album campaign in 2002 end the Source Magazine credibility period remember Benzino got fired from the Source a couple years later

    SSLP, MMLP, and Eminem Show, all classics in my professional opinion.

    You know how this thread gonna end. The reason gonna come in swinging and Stew gonna come in to protect his overrated white rapper that only got popular because he got signed and promoted by Dr.Dre.

    Damn.

    Well if you're going to pick Eminem's best singles, how about;

    Dead Presidents
    Big Pimpin
    I Just Wanna Love You (Give It To Me)
    Song Cry
    Dirt Off Your Shoulder
    Show Me What You Got
    Roc Boys


    This is an argument you can't win.

    Im not argueing anything...im pointing out that jayz has bad singles too.....example: show me what you got, girls girls girls, dirt off your shoulder etc

    It doesnt take away from the albums...they are 1 or 2 songs out of sometimes 16 tracks

    To me he's got 3, his 1st 3. Slim Shady, Marshall Mathers and Eminem Show are all classics to me. The funniest dude in rap when he stepped on the scene wit Slim Shady lol. Then he got serious on the next 2 respectively.

    Encore was ass, save for a few joints like Encore and Mockingbird. Relapse was ehh. Just wasn't wit that Saudi Arabian accent flow ? he was spitting all over that album but I did like Beautiful.

    Recovery was his return to form to me. I thought it was better than the last 2 although Not Afraid was cheesy as ? . MMLP2 I listened to a few joints on it thought they were dope but stopped listening after that. Don't know why really.

    But yeah to me his 1st 3 are his classics imo, although it's not a popular one but whatever.

    Im gonna give the same reason why MMLP is not a classic album as to why he didnt win the grammy for album of the year.

    you do not give THAT high praise to an album that has a skit of em getting sucked off by genocide cutters heroes.

    ill give you Hard knock life. H to the izzo aged horribly.

    But its still on a classic album.
