Product Description
From Amazon.com
Any lingering doubts as to the depth of Eminem's skills or his potential for raw yet compelling honesty are dispelled on The Eminem Show's first track. Armed with a quicksilver flow and a thundering rhythm track (the record was exec produced by longtime mentor and partner Dr. Dre), "White America" finds Eminem ferociously mauling the hand that feeds him, lambasting his critics, the industry, and the racism that, in many ways, helped make Marshall Mathers more than just another rapper. "Let's do the math," Em sneers, "If I was black I would have sold half/ I could be one of your kids/ Little Eric looks just like this." After the bombast of The Marshall Mathers LP and Eminem's well-noted use of sexual epithets, this kind of material is made more controversial because it actually rings true. From a brutal retort to his long-estranged and equally troubled mother ("Cleaning Out My Closets") to a surprisingly tender ode to his child ("Hailie's Song"), Eminem examines his life, loves, arrests, addictions, failures, and successes with surprising insight, making this a funk-drenched hip-hop confessional well worth the hype.
Note: This limited-edition version includes a DVD that features concert and interview footage. --Amy Linden
Chronique amazon.fr
Deux ans après le succès interplanétaire du real Slim Shady, la même hargne dévastatrice habite Mr. Just-Don't-Give-a-Fuck, alias Eminem. Avec The Eminem Show, le blondinet, désormais presque trentenaire, passe à confesse et s'appesantit sur les trois femmes de sa vie : sa mère, vilipendée ("Cleanin Out My Closet"), son ex-femme, caricaturée ("Superman": You selfish bitch, I hope you fuckin' burn in hell for this shit"), et sa progéniture, adulée ("Hailie's Song"). Ce rejeton controversé de l'Amérique, qui n'hésite pas à s'octroyer le titre peu recommandé de "The worst thing since Elvis Presley", ne capitule pas. Au lieu de se vautrer dans le hip-hop mainstream, Em, rappeur blanc milliardaire mange férocement la main qui le nourrit : "If I was black I would have sold half/I could be one of your kids" ("White America"). De son flow puissant et parfois désabusé, il conte par le menu ses récentes tribulations médiatiques (une série de procès) et honnit le patriotisme post 11 septembre. Pour nourrir ses propos vénéneux, Eminem, attentif aux préceptes de son mentor et partenaire, le producteur Dre, flingue les diktats à la mode hip-hop et préfère utiliser un extrait du "Dream On" des rockers éternels d'Aerosmith ("Sing For The Moment") ou un beat disco irrésistiblement synthétique ("Without Me"). Décidemment, Marshall Mathers, aka Eminem, est bien plus qu'un monstre-rappeur de foire. --Sabrina Silamo

This review is from: The Eminem Show (Audio CD)
This is the follow up to "The Marshall Mathers LP." None of Eminem's other albums can touch "The Marshall Mathers LP." His other albums are also awesome. He's clearly the best rapper of his time. All rap fans will like this and any other Eminem album, trust me. I suggest that everybody that likes rap should buy this album.1. Curtains Up (Skit)

By Adam (Ripon, WI United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Eminem Show (Audio CD)
It seems like Eminem has just fallen down the path of all rappers now rapping about the same topics as all other rappers out there. What happend to rappin' bout' shrooms, etc. on his first album? Quite the shame that someone so different and revolutionairy conformed only 3 albums into his fading career.
