Relapse wasnt special but it shoulda been there in the top twenty at least

[gunnerman911]

Relapse was far better than blueprint 3,Before I self destruct wasnt a great album either,Relapse was good enough to be top 5 at least

[sammypurple]

Even if it wasn't in the top 5 it should have at least been somewhere in the list.

lol....i just did some research on the The Blaqprint....primo has been promoting it in his blog and stuff ever since it released...he's probably the exec.producer .

and honestly , some of you might like The BP3...but its nothing but a radio friendly bitch album . Relapse is probably Em's least commercial album .

[rachael5922]

Eminem did not make that list!

Relapse is actually a miracle album because prior to its release Mathers almost didn't make it to the booth to record, how many artists can boast they created a miracle album? Idk many.


Ne ways, Obie did come out way strong after leaving Shady, better then the others that have left.

[Aditya]

agreed , but all the songs on Special Reserve are old , they are the ones who got Obie signed to Shady Records

[Aditya]

I wonder how DJ Premier feels now that Relapse has won the Best Rap Album Award .

Only Built For Cuban Linx II deserved a nomination at least of that album by Flo Rida.
