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 fau [Read More...]

If this CD was made by HBO films, it would definitely qualify as a “guilty pleasure”! Lyrically, Eminem is brutally honest and holds no punches - dissing everybody from Will Smith, Britney Spears, President Clinton, Christine Aguilera, Christopher Reeves…and so on. This boy has some serious issues! With 18 tracks deep of punchlines and hooks that hurt, you’ll get your money’s worth.
Standout cuts are:
“Marshall Mathers” - In his sick-but-honest manner, Em addresses issues that affect him personally like phony family members, Tupac and Biggie’s death, and boy bands.
“Stan” - This track displays his true writing talent. In jarring detail, Em displays the thoughts of a troubled fan desparate for his attention.
“Who Knew” - This is aimed directly at parents who blame all the troubles they have with their children on Em and others in the entertainment industry. Definitely worth the listen for those with teens.
“Kim” - Not for those raised in an abusive household. Brutal, in-depth view of a jealous husband/lover with a motive to be “rid” of his girl.
“Criminal” - Twisted and funny (especially the robbery scene). Eminem displays his many personalities with tight lyrics.
Helping to hold this album down are his boys D-12 (Dirty Dozen) from his hometown Detroit. They represent on the demented “Amityville” track and on “Under The Influence”.
Compared to his debut album, this album is a lot darker. Please remember folks, this is just entertainment. Relax and enjoy.

“The Marshall Mathers LP” is a stellar stand alone album and it is a more than impressive follow-up to “The Slim Shady LP” (which I thought was a classic)…In his first CD Eminem rapped about his life before he made his first album…in this album he talks about life since his first album…
This album is full of the unbelievable lyrical twisting and word arrangement that has become synonymous with Eminem…(You become so used to hearing his awesome flow that you almost forget how hard it is to give you verse after verse of hot lyrics)…If you are a true hip-hop fan you will love this album…(like Rah Digga said “Checkin for the rhymes not checkin for the track”)…Pick any song and you will find more hot lyrics than you would find on the entire album of some of today’s “hottest” rappers…don’t get me wrong though…the tracks are hot too…
The only place where the album lacks is in the guest appearances…None of the guests on the album can touch Eminem in lyrical skills so they actually sound really wack next to him…(except track 15…Dre, Snoop and Xzibit hold their own)…
If you are familiar with Eminem, the album will not shock you as much as “The Slim Shady LP”…which is good…he has already made it known that he will say anythihg…any further attempt to prove that would be ridiculous…
If you didn’t like the last album…or what Eminem has put out since…you won’t like this album…This album is full of the same themes, tones and content of his previous work…but if you loved what Eminem has put out before…you will definately love this…
