Product Description
Amazon.ca
On The Slim Shady LP, Eminem wants it all. He is conflicted, you see; the world has treated him badly, and he wants to respond in kind. But he isn't a straight-up gangsta--this is, after all, the first release on Dr. Dre's Aftermath Records, his post-Death Row-era venture--and Eminem (born Marshall Mathers) doesn't really want anyone to follow in his footsteps, which leads to some interesting contradictions on this album. In the first single, "My Name Is", he's self-deprecating, rapping about his poor upbringing and his hairy palms. But on the very next song, "Guilty Conscience", he plays the devil to Dr. Dre's angel--that is, until Eminem brings up an incident from Dre's devilish past, rapping, "You gonna take advice from someone who slapped Dee Barnes?" Later, on "'97 Bonnie & Clyde", he turns Will Smith's "Just the Two of Us" on its ear, making it a tale of murder; but on "My Fault", he actually feels bad--though whether it's for the girl he overdosed or for himself is tough to figure out. With his nasal Midwestern tone, Mathers has a clean, clear flow, and the production--by Dr. Dre, Marky, and Jeff Bass--is crisp but consistently fun. Eminem has some serious skills, and he makes for some great tunes--but the lyrics are as morally reprehensible as they get. --Randy Silver
Review
Think of [Slim Shady LP] as the soundtrack for a Quentin Tarantino film about the rap underground. -- Los Angeles Times
[Eminem] won't have any problem offending you. In the process, though, he might also make you laugh, shake your behind or scratch your head. -- USA Today

Ha, classic Slim Shady, you got to love him. Some of his older work is the best. Ken Kaniff, YOU ROCK!

This guy is a musical genious! Vulgur, carefree, and funny! Do not let your children listen to this as the themes are very mature. One of his best for sure!
