The Marshall Mathers LP was 1 of the most popular albums in the 2000s, is it a top 25 Hip Hop album?

No one who was around back then can deny this album's impact at the time.
But the question is, is it a top 25 Hip Hop album tho?

 

[PaperEnterprise]

No

 

[Yoda]

Hell No.

 

[California Burrito]

Timeless classic but NO.

 

[Dolo]

Nope

 

[Headcase]

Great album, but no.

 

[DaveyDave]

Not top 25 all time. I’d say it’s prob top 25 of its time tho, 2000-2010. The replay value is low AF and I’ve found that with all Em’s albums. once I bought them, played the shyt out of them for a few months but I don’t go to Em when I’m thinking of random old albums to play especially from that era.

 

[NaijaRich99]

Great album, but no.

 

[DMZ]

no

not even the best album of 2000

See how y'all saying no to this.... and I agree...
Take a look around at a lot of the popular albums of today that get labeled a classic today and use this album was a guide
This album is a great example of an album of an album that was popular at the time it came out but has aged like a peanut butter n jelly sandwich for the most part
I was listening to some songs off of it the other day and it was cringe worthy
A huge part of the problem was Eminem's subject matter.
Eminem could rap his ass off but so much of his subject matter was shock value that he didn't leave a lot of room for much else.

 

[swerve]

Yes

 

[5n0man]

It didn't age too well mostly due to the shock value raps.

Eminem show is his most listenable album today even tho people felt like it was a fall off at the time.

 

[Mensch Fontana]

Album aged like a cac

 

[DeuceCypherUno]

Yes.

 

[Columbo]

Not even a top 250 hip hop album. Beat it cac
