It didn't flow well, doesn't matter if he was telling a story, there still should of been some rythmm to it.
Eminem is a great story teller. Even though Encore was poor, it is better than alot of stuff released. I liked these songs: -Yellow Brick Road -Never Enough -Evil Deeds -Like Toy Soldiers -Mosh -Encore I think Yellow Brick Road was great, the others were average and above average.
My favorite rapper of all time. I love how Em can be funny as hell or serious as hell. And he is white. A white man who can compete with all the other African Americans. That is crazy. Vanilla Ice and Paul Wall can't compete with Eminem and don't even get me starter on Lil Wyte. I love all of Eminem's songs except for "Mockingbird".
Mocking Bird and When I'm Gone are trash imo.....anything after Eminem Show is trash for Em (except a few guest spots here and there)

I see alot of people saying this, but no one ever offers an explanation. I personally thought Slim Shady LP and the Marshall Mathers LP were garbage, I mean he displayed great skill with his lyricism, but his subject matter and production were terrible.

His first two CDs just don't have much replay ability to me. They just sound so angry and violent that I only play them when I'm in a certain mood
That is one of the great things about Eminem is he is a succesful multi-deminsonal rapper. He can go with the "goofy" songs to the serious songs. Even in his "goofy" songs he still rhymes with a message (that may bounce around from topic to topic) and in his serious songs he can show his deeper side. It shoulds flexability and deminsions to Em. Most rappers can't break out of their boring same scheme, same sounding rhymes, and you're tourching Em for being able to hit all sides of rap.
It's sadly ironic how Proof was the character that was killed in the video Toy Soldiers.......rip Proof

<div class="quote_poster">44Thrilla Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">"Stir Crazy" "Nuttin to do" "Hellbound" "Get you mad" "If I get locked up tonight" "Off the wall"</div> Great list, Red's verse on Off The Wall is pretty nice as well. I also like any of his collaborations with Royce. Nuttin To Do was quite good, as was Bad vs. Evil. I have a lot of Eminem songs that I find are classics, but to name a few of his best songs: Run Rabbit Run Hellbound Rock Bottom Criminal Still Don't Give A Fuk Just Dont Give A Fuk Stan The Way I Am (for a commercial single, this is an extraordinary track) Eminem's Best Guest Verses Bitch Please II (his verse is great IMO, even though it's a Dre song) Forgot About Dre (again, his verse blows Dre's out of the water) Renegade (murders Jay with his verse) Patiently Waiting (murders 50) His Smack That verse had to be the laziest verse I've ever heard from him in my life. You could tell it was one of those quickie verses he wrote and recorded. Didn't even seem like him and Akon recorded in the same room.
