Throwback Thursdays:  Eminem

DateThursday, August 25, 2011 at 9:20AM

Eminem had the best selling album of 2010 with Recovery, a record that tried (and succeeded) to emulate the ring-tone anthems that crowd the upper half of the charts. I've been severely disappointed in his art for a number of years now. I consider the first two releases (Slim Shady LP from 1999 and the Marshall Mathers LP from 2000) to be were the real gems are. But the first time I heard Marshall was on the 1998 Cali Kings Mixtape Volume 1 where he freestyled over the KRS-One track, "Still #1". This verse is incredible.

I miss you, Marshall. If you ever escape the illuminati, write more raps like this one.
