Description of The Marshall Mathers LP:
Will the real Slim Shady please stand up? On Eminem's sophomore album, he can't decide who he wants to be: the deranged pseudo-psycho of the Slim Shady LP, or a nice guy who just likes to rhyme about slicing and dicing his girlfriend ("Kim"). Of course, according to Eminem, he's just kidding. He refuses to take responsibility for the misogynistic, homophobic bile he spews, whining that he's the victim of people who don't get his unique sense of humor. It's good old America's fault if the kids aren't alright (Eminem blames bad parenting), and he's just capitalizing on Uncle Sam's dark side. On the Marshall Mathers LP, he's ambivalent about his fame, angry at his life, pissed off that people take him seriously, and fightin' mad at boy bands--and a lot of other white people. But the blue-eyed brat is acutely aware of his status as rap's resident alien: he has the most offensive mouth running, but never uses the "N" word. He gives lyrical love to tragic (black) legends like Tupac and Biggie while dissing white rappers hard. Even sitting duck Puffy gets the kid-gloves treatment. Of course, Eminem is an interesting, witty rapper, and there's some nice production on this CD, courtesy of Dr. Dre and others. But the hatred in Eminem's rhymes makes the album rotten at its core. And his protests that Slim Shady is just a persona become less convincing with each arrest. Then again, Eminem's got it hard: he's rich, famous, white, and male. --Lizz Mendez Berry

I Love this Album most definitely Eminem's Best.
2009-09-25 - I wish that eminem would do another album like this. The album is so hilarious and fun to listen too. You could really tell how hungry eminem was because the lyrics were so strong and the flow was so smooth. If your a person that likes to hear about chaos and Destruction than this is the album for you.
Eminem's Best
2009-07-15 - I know I am 9 years late to review this album, but I needed to give it the review it deserved anyways. For anybody who is an Eminem fan, the Marshall Mathers LP is generally regarded as Em's best work. For anybody who is a fan of rap in general, this album is arguably one of the finest ever released. There is not a single track on this disc that is worth skipping over, even the skits do a good job leading into other tracks, and although typically "filler", there never seems to be an itch (even after countless spins) to skip over any of them.
The lyrical content here is what really draws you in. This is Eminem at his rawest, and the shock factor still registers this far into the album's life. Although some tracks have that off the wall childish humor, the majority are made up of angst-driven yet mature subject matter that will connect even with an older audience. It's controversial, it's deep, it's though provoking and still capable of producing conversation between two people if listened to together. If you haven't purchased this album yet (I have no idea why you wouldn't) you need to get it now. If you've lost your copy, you need to pick up another one. Anybody who is a music fan needs to have this record in their collection.
One of my favorite.
2009-06-16 - Man I love this cd. Dude is at the top in the rap games and this just show his skill further. If you like em and rap then get this. I liked almost every song on the cd.
Eminem at his best
2009-06-02 - this is eminem at his best every song is worth listening this album is deep and a takes on a wild ride across marshall mathers life growing up. But besides that the songs are catchy and are very well produced with the help of dr. dre. If you are a eminem fan or just a hip hop fan this is a must buy!
