WHAT DOESN'T HE MENTION???

If you read the lines at the top it basically says that he wouldn`t want to destroy something he helped build.

He doesn't mention his intentions.

The production on the album was awful but that's to be expected considering Em had no real experience in the industry prior. The lyrical content was still there, he just needed someone like Dre to give him a hand and show him how to really make a hit record.

Personally my favourite Eminem record is the Eminem Show.

I like all his albums but I found the more mature approach to the songs really paid off well. The production was excellent and IMO there wasn't a bad song on the record. It starts off strong and barely lets up for the next 20 tracks.

It's a pity really that he went back the more jokey songs for Encore. Still an excellent album but not quite up to the sort of standards expected from him. It did kinda feel like he was letting off a bit of steam though for all the serious crap that's been going on in his life.

Just as well, too.

It could have ruined Eminem before he even started in the mainstream.

But, to say he isn't 'manufactured', he's done pretty damn well :D

I was aware of that, but when he signed to Aftermath they picked up the rights to his first album and could release worldwide if they wanted to. But they won't because it's terrible...

He's obviously referring to his first 2 commercial, worldwide releases.

And it wasn't because Infinite was bad that it didn't get a UK release, it's because it was backed by a Detroit-only record label, which couldn't fund a National/Worldwide release if it wanted to.

It did suck though.

His first two? You are kidding right?

Eminem's first album Infinite was so terrible it never even got a UK release...

Jesus H Christ, you 2 are complete flaps.

And tbh, I thought the blanked word was the name of Ja Rule's kid.

As for going off him, I was, but Encore was great. Eminem Show was average, and I agree the first two were masterpieces.

It's just the whole G-Unit thing I can't stand. They really are awful.

Well personally I went off Eminem after his third album, his first 2 were masterpieces.
