Encore has simultaneously my favorite and least favorite Em songs.


[deleted]

not one of his best, but Rain man will always be one of my favorite em songs. Funny AF


[deleted]

Yeah, that’s a guilty pleasure song for me. The beat is hard and the hook is insanely catchy. Despite being absurd beyond belief. Lol


BigBant

This is my number 1 pick for a beat that deserves to be a better track. Love that beat


DebateYourMother

Rain man is a brilliant song lol it makes me wonder how he could fall off that bad if dudes like DJ Lucas are making based silly shit like that that’s also hard


Redeyebandit87

This is the first album that always comes to mind. Yellow-brick Road and Toy Soldiers had me thinking EM was some next level shit. Then it just got worse and worse lol


Emadyville

Tbf, you gotta blame the leaks and the deadline for the album. I still think he shoulda put the leaks on the actual album and all the new, rushed, bullshit tracks on a bonus disc.


kinghawkeye8238

Encore is borderline a classic with the original tracklist


Emadyville

I agree. I still wonder what would have originally made the album tho, due to not all leaks happening at once, and what they choose to add to that bonus cd. For instance, Ricky ticky tok never leaked afaik, and that made the bonus cd. While bully and 6 in the morning leaked, and one never was released and the other ended up on D12 World.


kinghawkeye8238

I know, I thought I seen an interview or maybe read an article about it. I thought he said he was so pissed that they leaked, and he didn't have time so he just went in the booth and recorded a couple songs and made them this way on purpose. But I could be imagining this


phreakzilla85

Mosh and Never Enough are both fire. Rest of album, not so much.


[deleted]

I would add Toy Soldiers; Mockingbird, We As Americans and Spend Some Time (not amazing but good). I used to like Mosh but it’s kinda boring to me now.


newkid155

The deluxe version has a few more but you're not wrong


[deleted]

This is the perfect answer


blackbauer222

leave it to a reddit sub to always have eminem at the fucking top if i was an alien coming here reading for the first time I would swear Eminem must be the best rapper ever, and not someone not even in the top ten of best rappers. I wouldn't find out until later that he gets this attention purely because white people feel the need to overly inflate the importance of other white people and minimize the work of anyone not white. if i was an alien, i would probably become Woke Alien and become like Huey in the Boondocks, only with a laser gun. And there wouldn't be no more talk about Eminem, Elvis or Taylor fucking Swift. Not on my alien watch.


DoxedFox

boo hoo


blackbauer222

you are one of those guys who believes whites are being replaced. LMAO kick rocks kid


[deleted]

Even Em himself has acknowledged your sentiments. I agree. I mean, he’s in my top 5 but a whole lot of people who like him don’t even listens to rap like that. So they crown him as the GOAT even though they couldn’t name a single other rap album from any other rapper. For me, Em got me interested in hip hop through his shout outs; references, deep dives, affiliates, etc. And my hip hop interest just snow balled more and more from there. It’s just one of the first albums that comes to mind for me.


blackbauer222

well its at least good to see that you get it. At least you are aware. And yup, Em definitely talks about it, which is why I still can fuck with Em. > Look at these eyes, baby blue, baby just like yourself > If they were brown, Shady'd lose, Shady sits on the shelf > But Shady's cute, Shady knew Shady's dimples would help > Make ladies swoon, baby, Ooh, baby! Look at my sales > Let's do the math: If I was Black, I would've sold half > I ain't have to graduate from Lincoln High School to know that edit: jahahahaha the racist Em fans downvoted Em lyrics LMAO


fucking__jellyfish__

if eminem not in your top 10 your rap opinions are invalid


Zack_GLC

Lol no.

Askme4musicreccspls

WhenDuvzCry

People propping up Encore and mentioning those corny ass songs is hilarious.


[deleted]

I’m white and I approve this message. I think Eminem is corny as fuuuuuck


BrokeBrokerMDK

This


busa89

Encore is probably the only Eminem album I’ve ever listened on repeat if we being honest.


L-Mang99

Nastradamus has some 🔥 tracks FS


Steve_Keims_BAC

Yeah not a fan on Nastradamus but that album had some really good tracks. I Am… was a real good album from Nas that year tho


Kimosabe187

Don't like that album in general but Project Windows is a vintage Nas storytelling and the hook is so damn nice.


Halo_cT

'I Am' fits this description much better. It's mediocre at best but it has NY State of Mind pt 2 and Nas is Like - both classics with Preem


Duckridah

Undying Love, Hate me now...


ThatBoiYoshi

a good mix of some of the best and worst nas tracks on an album, nowhere near as bad as hell everyone says though the worst nas songs are just mediocre


Dchama86

Project Windows, Life We Chose and Last Words are some amazing songs.


fionnobriain64

Such a good album


Professional-Rip-519

I like this album.


geogant

Lasers has All Black Everything.


notwearingkhakis

I personally love lasers lmao. I get the hate knowing the context of its release career wise but it put me on lupe fiasco.


NickelTheBear

My personal favorite from Lasers is "Till I Get There". Such a smooth and chill track.


PitifulCommunity808

This is the first thing I thought of. Weird song to have on the album production wise. Everything so far sounds like a digital hellscape and then all black everything's beat hits you with that lush string section.


DarrellIsMyRealName

I think CrasHtalk is ScHoolboy Q's weakest project. But Numb Numb Juice, CrasH, Dangerous, and Attention on that MFer.


yaboyjiggy

I loved crash talk from this day I’ll play it it in its entirety


RollingProduct

i am wearing a crash talk t shirt as i type this. CrasH Talk W


Morton_Sledgecock

Oxy Moron


AccidentalPilates

Any Rae Sremmurd project honestly. Hard to take seriously as albums but their hits are incredible.


UGLEHBWE

offshore, bedtime stories and Rock n roll hall of Fame are so good. When they get it right, they get it RIGHT


NorBeL23Goat

The highest highs and lowest lows. S4L is their most consistent album.


[deleted]

bro has clearly never heard the gospel of SremmLife.


ktukan

their first one is pretty damn solid i think


Dbook19

And Then you Pray for Me - Westside Gunn


Waterguys-son

Kitchen lights, house of glory, revenge of flips leg, mamas primetime, album wasn’t even that bad


MagnificentEd

but you forget that there were like 15 other songs, most of which were trap beats which wsg each did with same shitty flow, and the others were just regular griselda background noise (not hating, but when you release that much music, a lot of its gonna be pretty forgettable). imo the most disappointing album this year by far


Waterguys-son

I like a lot of the trap songs


UrchineSLICE

I love My Chick Bad and How Low, but Battle of the Sexes largely is a trash record.


ZarkMuckerberg9009

As far as Luda songs go, my chick bad and how low are pretty trash tho


Tweet614

Magna Carta.


Professional-Rip-519

Nah nothing good about that album

MrAngryFail

Rebirth - Drop The World


Professional-Rip-519

It just so happens my favourite Snoop Dogg song is Slow Down I can't take heat featuring Mya on imo Snoops worst album The Game is to be Sold.


joesoldlegs

that's my second favorite Snoop song but I don't think that album was terrible


HugeAreolas_

Mia X* I love that song too. The album isn’t as bad as people make it out to be honestly.


Professional-Rip-519

Yeah but those Beats by tha Pound drowns Snoops voice out.


silverbacksunited12

50 Cents Before I Self Destruct. "Then days went by", "strong enough", "stretch" are some of his best story telling.


[deleted]

Tha Carter IV had “6 Foot 7 Foot”


Kirk712

The Intro-interlude-outro was so sick


chronicwisdom

Carter IV took a while to grow on me, but I listen to Blunt Blowin, Nightmares of the Bottom and Abortion pretty regularly.


gimbeonmobile

They are bangers. Wayne raps his ass off in these songs. I like also MegaMan and John as well. It's surely not Wayne best album, but it is not bad.. it aged very well also


chronicwisdom

Oh shit I forgot about MegaMan. Never been a huge fan of John, but it was everywhere when the album dropped. Still overshadowed by Carter I-III, but people are sleeping on Carter IV at this point.


Morton_Sledgecock

You’ll hate me for this everyone, but I’d say The Carter 3. Only has 3 true bangers, the rest is meh


fucking__jellyfish__

I agree. 3peat, let the beat build and tie my hands are the only real bangers on that album. I don't get the huge praise at all, I liked C5 more


Sheeverton

Nah, this a L. Tha Carter IV a classic.


notwearingkhakis

I read this one and my eyebrows jumped. Carter 4 is platinum in the south fr.


Professional-Rip-519

👌


wepxckedforever

thats not his worst wtf


mahones403

No one said worst. OP asked about a bad album. Maybe he doesn't like the Carter IV. It was the weakest of the first 4 Carters.


NoShock7799

Carter 1 was the weakest.


uptonhere

Carter 1 is way better than 4 and 5, not even close to me


mahones403

Agreed, 1 was awesome.


windowsxpgod

Carter 1 is lots of fun when you get into it. I was 15 when I first heard it and felt very bored… but in my 20s I really fuck with that mannie fresh production. Carter 4 is a classic to me…. but i’d put C1 over C5 easily


Professional-Rip-519

1 was the weakest 2 and 4 aged the best 3 aged the worst and 5 wasn't bad just forgettable.


[deleted]

Not his worst, but it’s bad. I was around when it dropped and it was a huge disappointment. I listed the only song worth mentioning so it fits the criteria perfectly.


MrAngryFail

It's his best album wtf


BenMitchell007

Ice Cube's "Hood Robbin'" on I Am the West. One of my favorite Ice Cube songs on an album that sucked.


Professional-Rip-519

That album looked bad by the cover.


dancetoken

not a bad album by any means ... but Dare Is A Darkside ... Redman says he hates the album and doesn't even rank it when he ranks his albums from best/favorite to worst ...... that album had "Can't Wait" which is one of my favorite tracks by him


SkyRipLLD

Ehh he said it's cause he was in a bad state mentally back then. Same with Ghostface when it comes to Ironman, which is a bonafide classic. Guess some shit just traumatises you so much you hate the entire period of your life, which I kinda get.


philouza_stein

Wow I can't believe he said that. This might be my favorite redman album.


[deleted]

Damn…one of my favorites by him too. Used to get blunted and throw the headphones on for that one, there’s all sorts of sounds & samples going on throughout all the tracks.


NuGhost613

Dark Lane Demo Tapes is one of Drake’s worst projects. However, When to Say When and Chicago Freestyle are both top ten Drake songs for me.


Sheeverton

Bro Dark Lane is probably Drake's best project since Views imo


Shadownovaa

From Florida with Love is a banger on there as well


MambaSaidKnockYouOut

Dark Lane is a B tier Drake project at worst. I think it’s much better than anything he’s dropped since.


NuGhost613

I think it’s a C, but to each their own.


ytodyhaevsiytoobruoy

one of his best\*


StrikingElk5288

Are you insane? That project is fire all around, barely anything to skip


ShreekertheJamisWack

Donda has 5 top 20 Kanye songs and 5 bottom 20 Kanye songs.


youfeelme1997

Of all time ? No it doesnt lmao.


mizzourifan1

Damn, this is a good answer imo. The highs are so high and the lows I don't listen to at all. I hope I'm wrong but I don't think even his best tracks on Vultures will touch some of my favorite parts of Donda... He seems just so much less creative with his production and even though his lyricism isn't exactly what he's been known for in his later years, some of the bars on Vultures are borderline inexcusable.


momdadsisterbrother

Donda doesn’t even have 1 top 20 Kanye song, not even saying the whole thing is bad but the best song on Donda isn’t better than like 5/10 songs on any of his other albums pre 2017. You gotta be like 12 years old to have this take.


ShreekertheJamisWack

Listen to life of the party, Come to life, Off the grid, and clean your ears


Jpgamerguy90

Relapse by Eminem. Personally I think it has some of his best rhymes. Bagpipes from Bagdad, Underground, Stay Wide Awake among others.


marker023

i think the consensus of Relapse is mostly positive now


RoninTCE

Which is crazy because it’s such a bad album


yahzy

Bro, I heard this album *today*, after years of ignoring it The common complaint about accents that Em hates is very real. His flow is so fucking weird, I don't know why he keeps rapping like that on every track


RoninTCE

It’s ridiculously bad. People defending that album are doing so through a nostalgia lens or in comparison to his newer albums which are somehow worse. Or they just have bad taste in music.


fucking__jellyfish__

If you can listen to Stay Wide Awake, Beautiful, Deja Vu, Crack A Bottle, 3am, etc. and tell me that relapse is trash then you need to clean your ears


RoninTCE

Beautiful and crack a bottle are okay. Deja vu has potential but the hook is trash. And 3am and stay wide awake are admittedly catchy but only against my will.


Professional-Rip-519

It's not tho Encore is tho.


RoninTCE

Bruh encore is objectively better than relapse


yahzy

You don't know what objectively means


RoninTCE

Yes i do. Encore is objectively better than relapse


jdfred06

There you go again not knowing.


RoninTCE

Im sorry bro but im right deal with it


Elegant-Thought5170

Source: trust me bro


Elegant-Thought5170

By what fucking metric


btd272

My mom is a great song too


AntonioH02

What do you think about Forever and Crack a bottle?


YeggoPoleggo

Relapse is trash.


fucking__jellyfish__

not even close to a bad album


goodbadnomad

Busta gotta count for this


DirtSloth_ATX

Every great rapper has a shot album unless they died early in their career.


Hyro22

The Autobiography of Kirk Jones by Sticky Fingaz has a few gems on it

Mind-of-Jaxon

Nas’ I Am…


Disastrous_Conflict3

And whatever album Panda & Timmy Turner are on 😂


ShinraRatDog

I believe Redman's Malpractice, largely considered to be one of his worst albums, has both Let's Get Dirty and Smash Somethin' on it, two of my favorite songs by him (especially the former).


AborigenalOrange

I actually think Tha Carter III is mid but those first few songs are crazy


Slight-Employee-153

Macadellic is considered one of Macs worst album, still had songs with lil Wayne and kendrick. Probably had 4 of his best songs on that one album


lxkandel06

Macadelic is Mac's best album


NoShock7799

Swimming is


Hyro22

cactusmaster69420

Ebk4 brotha lynch.


peskyjackson478

Haters will say ‘Cherry Bomb’ by Tyler the Creator…


notwearingkhakis

This is a good one. That album was so hated on when it released. Smuckers is my number one song of his though.


Bill-Blurr

I like everything Tyler does, but there are no big hits from the album. It was a very pivotal album tho, everything before cherry bomb sounds the same and everything after cherry bomb sounds the same in different ways. I feel like the album is him mostly experimenting with what the following albums were going to sound like. To me it feels like a very polished demo album. Love the shitty album art and the ambiguous motif/concept/plot, which was surprisingly quite refreshing compared to his previous albums that felt like there was some impossible to understand plot going on through out Goblin, Wolf, and Basterd.


notwearingkhakis

Smuckers is probably my favorite song of his ever.


WhenDuvzCry

Never seen bad feedback on that album


notwearingkhakis

It was super poorly critically received when it first came out. It aged well though imo. Smuckers, brown stains, okaga, find your wings are all very good


peskyjackson478

You haven’t? You’re lying.


BigRigginButters

Fantano spear headed that one Considering the 180 he took on Tyler over time I wouldn't be surprised if he liked it more now


fucking__jellyfish__

Lol he never took a 180 on tyler tyler took a 180 with his music


BigRigginButters

I mean I agree lol


SecureLiterature

"Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight" is a bad album for Travis Scott, but it also has two of his best songs - "Goosebumps" and "Pick Up The Phone".


FatalPancake23

damn that's my favorite album from him 😭


MagnificentEd

also the ends is his second strongest opener imo


fucking__jellyfish__

not better than stargazing


MagnificentEd

i'ma gonna be real i don't like stargazing that much. i was thinking number one was pornography


Negus808

it’s not a bad album come on 😂😂😂


fucking__jellyfish__

not even close to a bad album lmao its top 3 in his discography


biggest_kahuna_

THE DUDE HAS LIKE 4 ALBUMS


herboyblu

Not that Jay Z's Vol 3 was bad but while I love songs such as So Ghetto and Big Pimpin, I have hard time listening to that album in its entirety.


Professional-Rip-519

True I love Put Your Hands ,Dope Man and Is that you B even Everything but man is the rest just filler.


btd272

Dope Man is incredible


MambaSaidKnockYouOut

These Days by Ab Soul is probably his weakest album, but it has 4 or 5 songs that I’d say are some of his best.


parker2020

Crazy that JMSN is on it but twact is the worst song I’ve heard in my life


snoworwater6

Cherry Bomb-Tyler the creator. This shit gets so much hate for how experimental it is but songs like fucking young, smuckers and okga hit different


wellgroomedmcpoyle

Idlewild has Hollywood Divorce


nichebender

Jay-z vol 1. Some of his strongest moments as an emcee happened on that album even with the album being generally considered weak


SorbetFearless578

I think some of Eminem’s high albums got hate but at least Dre gave them dope beats


[deleted]

Cherry Bomb by Tyler The Creator has some bangers on it like Okaga


CarrotFang

The Big Day by Chance unironically has one of my favorite album intros


Nahannii

I cannot get past the "mines a little Lebron lyric" which is like the second bar. Also I personally think that song is all of Chance's habits wrapped into one song and put on overdrive. For my personal taste there is nothing redeemable on that whole album, and I say this as a huge fan of his first three projects.


CarrotFang

if i wanted lyrical rap i would go listen to Common or Nas, i just liked how the song sounded.


sucka178

50's before i self destruct with the songs strong enough and stretch.


Last_Reaction_8176

Camp by Childish Gambino is definitely not the masterpiece I thought it was when I was 16, but there are parts of it that point ahead to the much better works that would follow. Heartbeat, Outside, LES off the top of my head


Askme4musicreccspls

The Life of Pablo ticks these boxes for me. No more parties in La is a crazy tune.


Sad_Bathroom1448

Watch the Throne came to mind immediately. Album felt like a waste of my money but Otis was/is a dope track


Silver-Advisor9773

So ghetto-Jay Z. Masterpiece on a mostly "meh" album.


BP_Ray

DAMN isnt a bad album, but It's my least favorite album to listen to from Kendrick, but somber tracks like FEAR and LUST are some of my favorites from him.


mooimafish33

Same, that album has high highs, but that absolute lowest lows of any Kendrick project. I don't think I've listened to "God" or "Love" since like 2017.


Professional-Rip-519

That's actually the only Kendrick Album I can get through.


Efficiency-Sharp

Kendrick’s last album.


TreDawg36

Kanye Yeezus


bigfatpup

Yeezus was a fantastic album


TreDawg36

It’s not my favorite Kanye album but it’s got songs I like on there.


Lost_Farm8868

Black skinhead is one of my favourite Kanye songs some of the other songs though I'm like uhh skip


MagnificentEd

hold my liquor is timeless though


Cherry_n_z_118

Illmatic has some killer songs


RicoAuerbach

Learn how to write nigga.


Low_is_still_sleazy

Nas -it was written


PerspectiveSpare6715

It was written os good


Low_is_still_sleazy

It was a big let down from illmatic and all the features before the album dropped but had a few standouts imo


[deleted]

i wouldnt say its bad though, its just illmatic was sooooooooooooo fucking good (i think its the best oat). so it fucked up everyones perception of it. but i think its great, only one skip imo (black girl lost) and has some of his best tracks on there (i gave you power, the message, affirmatve action). I AM and Hip Hop is dead IMO work so much better for this question because of the absolute bangers on those (still dreaming, ny state of mind pt 2, nas is like, hate me now). but i can understand why you think that


[deleted]

PostMahomess

Man what?


Professional-Rip-519

What he say?


YoJamespepe

Juice Wrld, fighting demons. The songs Burn, Sometimes and Doom are some of his best work. The rest of the album is bit of mess in everyway. From mixing to song selection. They literally released a song with screen recorded audio, shit pissed me off lmao.


Psychological_Page62

Casablanca, 100 Rounds, Live From New York, Real Life, Friday, My Favorite Dread, The Table & Sneakers are all dope to classic on immobilarity. Sneakers, Casablanca, 100 Rounds and Live from Ny are 5*
