I have heard the whole leaked album and to me this is a return to his best work. Much better then his last two albums, and up there with his first three.
Eminem is bound to get hated on because just because he is so mainstream and has been in the game so long. Unless you are an underground/independent rapper or you die, you will get hated on in the rap industry.
I truly believe that even if Biggie and Pac were still alive they would be just as hated on as Em, Jay-Z, Nas, and the rest of the long term rappers because the rap industry is a hard industry to strive in as the long term.
Eminem is to me is probably the best lyrically of all time. He doesn't have the best delivery, and wasted a lot of his songs due to the gimmicks/accents but when he puts his mind to it nobody can touch him.
All around to me musicians are hard to compare, but he has to be seen as one of the all time greats with Biggie, Pac etc.
