  1. The only album of Em's I don't like is Encore. I like Relapse and Recovery, not as much as I do MMLP or The Eminem Show. Only reason I didn't like Berzerk the 1st time I listened to it was the style caught me off guard, I was expecting it to more Recovery like after Survival came out, and not Beastie Boys like. I'm sure a lot of people have been like "Woah, what was that" the first time they've heard this song, then they've listened to it again and liked it.

  2. I don't think Eminem has a lower stature than Kanye, you have to remember he's the highest selling artist in the history Rap, and the only mainstream album he had that didn't peak at #1 was the Slim Shady LP which peaked at #2. As for past his prime, I don't know if he truly is or isn't, if the next album is like Encore, Relapse, or even Recovery then he is past his prime. If it's like the Marshall Mathers LP, The Eminem Show, or even Hell: The Sequel then he's still in his prime. This next album will be very interesting as far as content goes, I mean what does he have left to say? He can't really repeat what he did on Relapse or Recovery. Will it be a reflection on his career like his features on Our House by Slaughterhouse and My Life by 50 Cent were, and signal a move to a position like Dr. Dre is in now, trying to help others build their career and producing? As far as numbers go, I say it will probably be about the same as Kanye and Jay's albums though.
