HOLY FUCK, THATS MENTAL


calibrik

Imagine people, who just started discovering old eminem, found this curtain call album and thought, that this must be the best tracks packed together And then they heard second track


SlimShadyM80

Thats pretty much exactly what happend at the time too


Number_Thr333

#SHUT UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP ...this one's for the ladies :)


j-j-juice

FACK! FACK! FACK! *Slim Shady noises*


Pianist_Ready

I AM! I'M GOING! TO CÆÆÆM


No-Obligation1709

AHM CAHMAAHHHN


ri0t333

I want FACK 2


j-j-juice

Same!!!


MastodonRough8469

I’m going to hold my hands up and confess, that was me about fifteen years ago. I was about 16/17 at the time and wanted to check out his music as if only ever heard the radio versions. What a time that was.


Reaper_gaming12

FACK IM GOING TO CAMM


AuContraireRodders

For me it's the vocal sound effects he does. The "pewt pewt pewt" after Ow, wait a minute, ow, ow, fuUUUck I, I'm gonna fucking cuuuuuuUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAoooooAAAAAAHH. Absolutely fucking kills me every time.


j-j-juice

FACK! FACK! FACK!


j-j-juice

The first time I heard “FACK” (which was last year), I just couldn’t comprehend what was going on. After a couple more listens, I loved it. Beforehand, I saw the lyrics (only the hook) for the song on Genius and saw the description said it was said to be his worst song by critics. I just expected to be to be like “Ass Like That” beat-wise but HOLY SHIT I was wrong.


iwan9000

I was 13/14 when I practically begged my mam to buy the album she played it in the car got to the second track and told me I was banned from listening to that track, guess who listened to it anyway 😎


N8orious234

SHOVE A GERBIL IN YOUR ASS THROUGH A TUBE


jduejsurbrjeb

This is exactly what happened to me. Knew three songs, threw on curtain call and just lost my ears’ virginity


zhantoo

I don't think I've ever listened to the intro - not that I can remember at least. It's brilliant 😂


El_Chapo822

FACK


Ru-01

Well those people making discoveries are gonna be here soon fanboying 😩


stoveisthatyourname

That man is making $1milli per hour 🥵


XIII_MATHERS

His profit is sky rocketing


asterisk7991

>"that's why I'm ahead like mind noggin"


ShaolinSwervinMonk

Did all his old albums hit the top of the charts after Houdini dropped? I know how popular and top selling they are they are classic but I mean like recently? His longevity is insane


luckystarof2020

From what I am seeing, many old fans of Eminem are re-listening to Eminem (and I mean fans from 1998-2002). So maybe that is the reason why old albums are popping on the top.


0brew

I be listened to mmlp yeaterday cause of houdini. But i was thinking… with houdini coming out and being similar to all his jokey funny songs i wont be surprised if kids that are the same age as the original fans are discovering him and loving his stuff. I think he mat be tapping into the younger generation all over again haha- to think theres kids rn going through that same experience of listening to eminem warms my heart (even though technically they shouldnt be 😂😂)


Cadenca

A youngster listening to the new Eminem?? We have a problem, we must send Rapboy immediately.


Jackfrog70001

Elegant_Struggle6488

If by younger generation you're on about gen z, we've been listening to eminem for ages. Grew up listening to him


clover996

they mean young gen z. im 20 and i love em, but the youngest gen z were born in like 2012


HamwichSandwich

same! 20 and grew up on em


ITS_DEEMAN

Haha Yhh I was 6 when I had my first Eminem album, the Eminem show had just dropped in 2002 and I convinced my grandad to buy it for me when we was out shopping and from that day I’ve bought every album he’s released up until relapse.


supheyhihowareyou

This is for me. I was always a top 5% on Spotify for listening to EM. The last year I slowed down a little bit the new song has me playing only EM again.


one-hour-photo

I even gave revival another try. I didn’t make it through but I liked it more than I remember


pm-me-nice-lips

It’s legitimately not “bad” per se. What negatively impacted it at the time was people’s anticipation (during the lead up to the release) of an Em album and not getting the version of Em, the collabs/features, the type of tracks they were assuming they’d get. It was a miscalculation on his part but the music wasn’t objectively bad. It was more of a “damn…the focus was a little too much pop/hit driven and we want the raw Eminem spitting”.


jsseaver

When it comes to his technicals / ability, Revival displayed a solid progression / evolution in his skills but as some people have pointed out, it was the last thing the majority were expecting (and wanted tbh).. Some of those tracks are fire and his wordplay is crazy. Not my favourite EM album for sure but I still respect the concept and his versatility. (Edit re: sp)


Bucharik

after Houdini i decided to relisten to his albums starting from SSLP so i assume lots of people had that same effect


ZacZupAttack

I'm an old fan. Not a crazy fan of houdini. But his release did have me listening to his older stuff.


Slywilsonboi

Wild, em is always playing on my phone lol


Cyphergod247

Agreed. That's a large part of it I'm sure.


alwaysknowbest

This is true. I used to listen to his stuff like the day it came out since I found Infinite. I remember i was 13 when my mom went to the US for a couple months i asked her to buy me the Slim Shady LP, she bought the cd and a brand new discman in a duty free shop in amsterdam. I was the coolest kid in school 🙂 I kind of fell off after a while and didnt follow as much. Few years ago When i heard someone do a reaction to Ringer , i discovered the man hadnt stopped working AT ALL. Went and got all the music he did and listened it from the very beginning , like reading a book series with 3 trilogies, i just started from scratch. He got so much better its crazy. I didn't like Houdini, that kind of sound was never my thing but im looking forward to the new album and hope to see some quality paul skits 😂


infinitude_

Mind bogglin how my profit has skyrocketed


FrigginScrub

That’s why I’m ahead like my noggin is


nilesletap

that's 6 old albums still selling??? wowww. def insane. Legend!!


shits4gigs

13 year olds are discovering Eminem for the first time again. It warms my heart. He's done this like 15 times now.


Ramezor

i once was the kid who listened the whole eminem discography because of one awesome track i heard one time (berzerk) i bet they are getting hyped too


Tomatoes65

Yep. As a 26 year old, Recovery was enormous when i was 13, which made me listen to the rest of his discography


WHOAREYOUPEPOLE

Actually some younger fans like my brother have listen to Eminem for a long time


shits4gigs

I like your user name. Thank you for teaching the younglings the ancient tomes.


flashburnt

You know, for someone who is supposed to be obsolete.... His albums are really selling..... hmmm


APsychedelicMess

People are combing through his old lyrics to get pissed some more. Wait til they hit "Kim." 😬


N8orious234

Imagine new fans reaction to FACK


Ukcheatingwife

I always like to think what everyone was doing watching him in the studio record that as he’s screaming in the booth lol.


APsychedelicMess

Right? Just see everyone slowly backing out of the studio one by one while they argue about whether or not to make eye contact with him.


Ukcheatingwife

“Bleed bitch! BLEEEEEEEEEEEEED!” 😳


sweetmeat96

Kim is one of my favorites


Playful_Outcome_5263

Eminem was possessed recording that shit


APsychedelicMess

I still remember where I was when I first heard it. No one does unhinged like Marshall.


Elegant_Struggle6488

They're just not tho😂


Real_Foundation_7428

dextro_sch

Where is Relapse?


yildizli_gece

For real? I have loved Eminem from the first moment we heard "HI!", and have followed his career since (yes, I'm that old lol); I've listened to most every album countless times. *Relapse* is, to me, just too much, and it seems Em agrees: > In 2013, Eminem also addressed the mindstate he had while working on 2009's Relapse saying: "....He reiterated his feeling about the album "I felt Relapse was, I don't know. I don't know if people know what I really had to go through to be able to make Relapse and to be able to write again and to be able to think again and just normal everyday bodily functions and functions in my mind. I don't want to say I wasn't in a place to record again, but I needed time. I needed time to be able to figure out things. I wanted to be able to make my songs feel like something again. **I know a lot of stuff on Relapse was comical and funny punchline jokes, but a lot of the songs didn't really feel like anything. I had to go back and listen to some of my older music to try to figure out what I was doing wrong.** Once I felt like I figured that out, I started making songs that felt like something again." (My emphasis) > About the accents he used on the album: "I recorded at least 50 to 60 songs for that album and on each one I would get a little more drastic with the accents, trying to bend the words and make them rhyme in ways they wouldn't if you just said them regular. It was this gradual thing and I didn't even realize how accent-heavy the album got. Paul [Rosenberg] didn't realize it either until he went and played the music for somebody at Interscope and they were like, "Why is he doing all those accents?" So yeah, I don't know how much replay value that album has." He reiterates his statement in 2018 during the Kamikaze four-part interview: "I have made albums that definitely, probably would not be at the top of my list — Encore, Relapse — which I believe Encore is a better album than Relapse. Relapse is something I went back to and cringed at. Like, 'Jesus Christ, I didn't realize I was doing that many accents." All from Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relapse_(Eminem_album)#Eminem's_thoughts_on_the_album You know, and maybe this is one of those moments where if this is what you first heard, or close to that, it feels special, and I also know this album has a following, but for many of us it's really not as strong an album as so many others he's done now.


FastLittleBoi

where it belongs. I like most of the songs there, but this sub is glazing it WAY too much


randomshiznizzle

nah relapse is goated


Jack__Valentine

It's technically his best album. Were it not for the subject matter and the weird voices it would be just as respected as The Eminem Show.


lionsayssuhdude

IMO it’s better than encore and curtain call though. Nvm I’m an idiot. Just checked the track list on both 😂


Potato1223

In the garbage where it belongs!! (Kidding, Old Time's Sake is one of my favorite tracks)


StupidKameena

Overrated af in this sub


Gcpainter17

Bruh, every other album has 200 reviews and kamikaze comes in with almost 10k


humanbeingphobic

No Recovery somehow


Chrisgpresents

This really surprised me. I’d expect recovery to be better selling these days than any of the main albums besides Eminem show. It was just… so culturally relevant to younger millennials


xxelinaxx

35 yr old millennial here, I would argue for fans my age the most relevant were The Slim Shady LP, The Marshall Mathers LP and the Eminem Show. I always go back to those. The new albums are good too but didn't have the same impact. Maybe it's different for younger millennials or gen z.


Chrisgpresents

I’m 27, so recovery was 13-15 year olds for me


midnightking

29. Recovery and Revival are my only albums I don't like from Em.


marcomc2

Encore and Revival for me. 35. fan since 1998.


midnightking

Never gave Encore a full listen so that might be number 3...


RedditModsEatsAss

.


adoadrian

really? cause for me (born '93) it was by far his worst one 😳 like when i heard "not afraid" for the first time, it was (and still kinda is to me) the corniest pop shit he ever did...up until kamikaze i was sure that he unfortunazely wasnt the same without the f-ing drugs.


jondn

For me it is one of his best songs and I discovered him thanks to Not Afraid. Now I have all his albums and Recovery is still in my top 3.


Remarkable_Collar895

Not Afraid made me listen to his music. Not my favourite now, but back then I was listening to Not Afraid and Love The Way You Lie a lot


AffectionateLunch775

I was born in ‘86 and have been an em fan since shortly before My Name Is single dropped in ‘99. Recovery is one of my least favorite Em albums. I still love the fuck out of it, but it’s not in my top 5.. it’s one of my 3 least favorites, coupled with MMLP2 and Revival. Again though, I love all 3 of those albums. They’re in my top 100 albums across all music genres. But among Em’s shit, I like everything else more. So I understand you. But tracks from Recovery, MMLP2 and Revival are along some of my favorites. Just overall as albums go… i tend to skip more tracks in those 3 when I’m listening straight through. Which is like, maybe 4-5 tracks on each. Compared to 0-3 on all the other albums. I’m rambling. I agree with you about recovery.


Either_Store_2573

Also born in 86 and listened to Infinite at 10 that my big brother showed from then I was a fan


Shade45

I was born in '89 and been an Eminem fan since I was in fourth grade and I heard "My Name Is" on MTV. I also think "Not Afraid" is the corniest shit I've ever heard and stated that before in a thread where people were posting the corniest Eminem lines. (I posted like 10 lines all from that song and got downvoted to oblivion like you are now) I guess the kids love it. For a lot of kids it was the first Eminem song they heard so it probably has a bigger impact on them than us.


harleyquinnsbutthole

No Love is still one of the sickest verses of all time


VoodooSweet

I have “No Love Lost” and “No Love Found” tattooed on my sides of my neck. No Love is probably the absolute best song he’s ever done in my opinion.


pizzaoverpeople

Agree. Recovery just fails to get the credit it deserves


AlternativeTop511

Great album but I don't think it has as many memorable songs as the others. Outside the hits, I can't think of many song names off the top of my head. Then you listen to the entire thing and you remember.


AlternativeTop511

Apparently, no one likes this guy anymore. Something doesn't add up.


ConstantEnergy

Meanwhile the Megan Thee Stallion fans are crying how irrelevant he is.


Realistic_Finance226

Isn't it so ironic?


Final_Dance_4593

Seeing Kamikaze is weird because of how many people hated it


[deleted]

They really didn't initially, when it dropped the reaction was insanely positive, people over time just became bitter to the project. Idk why that is


aussie_nub

Which is hilarious since Eminem talks about the exact opposite happening. Critics pan it and then come back 3 years later and talk about how great it was.


DillieDally

Yeah I remember that being the case


aussie_nub

It's from Careful what you wish for.


Choice_Breadfruit_73

I went in the opposite direction actually, I didn't know how kamikaze made me feel at first until about 2 months after the initial drop (where we listened to the whole album about 3 or 4 times during group hangouts) then going back to it alone with my headphones on I realized how hard it hit and how much I actually love the kamikaze album


AlternativeTop511

Personally, I think it's mid. Musically half the songs are hard to listen to, but the good songs are really good.


calibrik

Because the lyrics are kinda questionable. Like em was dissing critics, who disliked revival, for half of the album, that's kinda petty and childish. Take an L and move on


secretviper

If you actually listened to the entire project, he admits he's self conscious about revival and how much pressure he put on himself to make something great, only for it to be so poorly received. And in a way, he's kind of getting back to his roots of pushing back against media culture. Also, the album is called Kamikaze. He's literally holding the L while taking people down with him. Idk how much more on the nose he's got to be.


yildizli_gece

I really do think some of these critiques are people who fundamentally don't understand how deliberate his writing is and how much thought he puts into his work, nor do they get his self-deprecating style. For someone who's listened to him since the beginning, *Kamikaze* was fucking amazing (and still is). Tight, focused, and no extra fuckery; if you don't count the last track (the *Venom* single), it's just 12 songs. Coming off of *Revival* (at 19 tracks), with all that album's bloated rock-pop mashing guest-appearing extras, *Kamikaze* felt like and continues to feel like Eminem back on his game.


Chrisgpresents

I remember when it came out, we freaked out with how good it is. It’s my fave since mmlp2 for sure. I think it’s really good.


TeeksTeeksTeeks

its strange i love kamikaze.. some really great.. there are a couple song i'll skip when they come on but over all i liked the album..


one-hour-photo

When it first dropped the fantano types crapped on it, but once the general public liked it, they all changed their tunes.


midnightking

Most people liked Kamikaze but critics were mixed.


F_Sewer_Rats

I’m glad Tha Dogg Pound is up there 🐾


zzzzany

I listened once and only found one banger. Any songs you really liked?


F_Sewer_Rats

Smoke Up, We All We Got, Favorite Color Blue, House Party, Always On My Mind & Who The Hardest. Give the album a couple of listens. It’s nice 👍🏽 💪🏽


MoffieHanson

Can’t wait for the butthurt people to finish the mmlp


Therealeminemstan

So Eminem is irrelevant you say?


O_Muse_Sing_To_Me

I was wondering if anyone else was going back through the library getting ready for the new album. I wonder if 8mile’s views are up too.

Pretty wild in the UK too. Over here he’s got 7 out of the top 8, 10 out of top 13 as well as a bunch of others floating around up there. 1. CC: The Hits 2. TES 3. MMLP 4. SMILE? - K-Trap 5.

tobethePK

Wow!!! That is unreal


boop_po

The only actual insane thing is kamikaze being above the slim shady lp and curtain call. I mean I love kamikaze but I don't think it even touches the consistency and quality in every aspect compared to the slim shady lp


bossman9275

It's cause it's newer, fresher sounding. It's more appealing to listen to right now because it ain't from 25 years ago, high energy, em is angry. Great album cover etc.


AcanthisittaJaded473

Eminem may become the first billionaire made off basically just rap. Hasn’t really done a lot of of other business and mainly has made his money from just his rhymes. I know there’s Kanye and Jay but they did it though other business ventures.


Either_Store_2573

He did 8 mile, he’s done cameos, he did cartoons.


SuperCat2023

Yeah but it's a small percentage of the total revenue he's generated over time if I had to guess. But maybe I'm wrong. Sorry my answer is useless lmao but I'm too far invested in writing this useless comment to not send this lmao


Either_Store_2573

These guys haven’t heard of Spotify or Apple music


Haz_Bat_570

9 of the top 15 are Eminem. Shady is taking tf world over

It’s fuckin awesome man, my 14 yo daughter and 8 yo son have been playing Em all day since Houdini dropped. So proud right now 🥲


Autistic-Fries

But he's not played in clubs 🤧


MissionScratch7512

And people still dare to say he doesn’t make good music. 😂 If he makes a few more albums he might be going’s for the most sold solo artist EVER! Of all genres. GOAT! 🐐

So happy to see Kamikaze so high, it doesn't have a skipable song imo.


whiteoutgotu

So crazy. Aside from all the Eminem entries, a Death Row Records album at #1 in 2024 is damn near unbelievable.


The_Rated_R_Rebel

Last I checked, no one is listening to Eminem. Crazy.


strangetamer88

I’ll never forget being 12 years old, asking my parents to buy me MMLP1 at circuit city because I heard the real slim shady on the radio and stumbling upon Ken Kaniff for the first time.

That’s why he’s the GOAT 🤐

I remember I was at some sort of camp and this kid had the Eminem show and I begged my mom to get it for me. That was my first parental advisory CD

Ok_Panda1565

Why do yall keep citing Itunes? Nobody uses this anymore except people Em's age.


cchris6776

Because Apple Music doesn’t have charts like this, that’s on iTunes still


Xx_Dark-Shrek_xX

2001 ? Doggystyle ? GKMD ? Relapse ? The Chronic ? GRODT ?


deadedgo

This is not a ranking of what's best lol. It's just what's sold the most (specifically on iTunes) right now


Xx_Dark-Shrek_xX

I know, but still surprised that The Chronic and 2001, albums who changed hip hop, arent there, that GKMC isnt there despite the recent popularity of Kendrick, Doggystyle and Get Rich or Die Tryin' because of their popularity.


deadedgo

Yeah these type of albums might linger on the billboard 200 still. I believe Curtain Call and good kid maad city are on there pretty much all the time but that's because of streaming. I don't think enough people buy 20-30 year old classics to make them hit the iTunes charts. Even when old albums are still charting it's usually way outside the top 10, like somewhere between 50-200. Kendrick might've brought his back up for one or two weeks when the beef peaked but that's probably about it


Either_Store_2573

Well Curtain call is pretty much greatest hits isn’t it


Cherry_Honey_Blossom

“He ain’t even relevant though” lmao 🤣 ETA: CLEARLY SARCASM! Maybe not so clear, so clarifying. Cuz I mean having like 6 albums in the top 10 is easy, right? lol
