The Best Album Of The 2000's, Sep 15 2005
The Marshall Mathers LP is a masterpiece created by a genius. This album is topped by few. When people say the reasons why they hate this album, because he's " crude ", " disqusting ", murderous ", they need to get a life. You think that he actually means it when he says, " B**** IMMA KILL YOU! You don't wanna **** with me. " He's not actually going to gon and kill someone. GET OVER IT. Now, that my message against Eminem haters has been said, let us continue.It's lines like " I used to get punked and bullied on my block, till I cut a kittens head off and stuck it in this kid's mailbox " that make this album great. The thing that I admire most about Eminem is his attitude of, " I don't give a **** what you think about me. " And this is clearly expressed in this album, especially in the song " The Way I Am ", which by the way, is probably his best song ever. It's really too bad that he went down in his latest album, " Encore ". This was Eminem in his prime, and anyone who isn't easily affended should definately pick up this album. Public Service Announcement: Very funny opening to an album. Kill You: Awsome song. It is revolutionary and it's what made parents hate this album. 5/5 Stan: A deep song about a fan's obesession and what he might do to go to far. 5/5 Who Knew: A very cool song. It delivers some good messages ( listen to the song before you think about what I just said ) 5/5 The Way I Am: The best " STFU " song out there. 5/5 The Real Slim Shady: Funny song with a catchy beat. But I found that it's a bit overrated. But, stil... 5/5 Remember Me?: Cool song, but not the best on the album 4/5 I'm Back: Very good song with some awsome lyrics. I listen to it every day on my iPod. 5/5 Marshall Mathers: We get to discover some things about Eminem in this song. Dark, but one of the best on the album. 5/5 Drug Ballad: Talks about his problems with drugs. I think he sent a message to kids in this song, a good one. The effects of drugs are bad. 4/5 Amityville: Unfortunately, this song on my CD was corrupted, so I can't review it. Bitch Please 2: Excellent guest stars, very cool beat, and Eminem does some pretty good work in his part of the spng. 5/5 Kim: Very violent and dark song. Not for the easily affended/disturbed. 4/5 Under The Influence: Cool guest stars. Catchy beat, Eminem delivers one of his many messages in this song. Especially in the chorus. 5/5 Criminal: Talks about the life of a criminal, and what would happen if he robbed, murdered, etc. 5/5 Well, incase you noticed, I said that thee were possitive messages. I know, you're probably thinking, " How can there be possitive messages on one of the most offensive CD's made? " Well, the answer to this is, that despite the violent and crude way of delivering them, some can make you think aside from the killing and swearing, you have to focus on what he's trying to say. Enjoy, there's my review. Hope this inspired you to go buy this album.

"floydianfan" is un-educated on real rap., July 12 2004
By A Customer
This album is great. I'm white, but it doesn't make me a "whigger" to listen to this bumpin' cd. Some people just take music too literal [serious] and actually DO what these rappers joke about. Some people are too stupid to understand what is right, and what is wrong. Em' is a comedian no matter how much he denies it. This album is his best although twisted and not for the easily-offended. It's NOT a freestlye session. And many people can rap "better" but not as "sinister" as Eminem and Slim Shady[his sick side]. So if you take things too seriously, or don't like twisted rap, don't buy it. Otherwise 5 outta' 5!

THe album that got me into rap, July 7 2004
I loved this cd when i bought it and i still do. This aint nowhere near being one of the greatest rap albums, but its great. I am an eminem fan and this one is my favorite, despite the fact that he stole esham's rap style known as acid rap, but its all good. My favorite tracks are amityville, kill you, and criminal. If you like this album you should pick up better albums like the dayton family's F.B.I. or Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's E. 1999 Eternal before you get this.

Why so much hate?, Jun 23 2004
Come on people, Eminem is a very talented rapper. Sure, there is profanity. But seriously, curse words have become a huge part of our language. Now, I am not saying its a good thing, because it isn't. However, kids curse in school all the time and little kids hear their parents fight, and I'm sure quite a few parents throw around some bad words. Sure, he may sing about drugs and killing, but I don't think that would have any effect on kids. As long as they are being raised right and are tought right from wrong, thats all that matters.When Eminem was talking about killing his wife in the song, he wasn't telling millions of people across the world to kill their spouses. Remember, its all about common sense.

Great Cd /w all of his Cd's too, Jun 23 2004
Some people dont like rapper eminem becouse he has dealt with crap in his life but he really came with a lot of talent.
The CD came out in 5/23/2000
His songs:
Public service announcement- This is a great track even though it only lasts about 30 seconds many of eminems other cd's had come with this sort of introduction including the slimshady LP which came with another public service announcement, D12 in Devils night came with one too.
KILL YOU- Different track much like the Real Slim Shady(one of eminems winning songs)A very jummmppy song and cruel to the people who dont he doesnt think good of, not a seriouse song.
STAN: Features Dido a great female singer this song is about a teen who has something for eminem and he has to keep writing to try and get some attention.
PAUL- Very short skit somewhat pointless
Who Knew- Eminem never knen how far he was going to get or if he was going to move at all listen to this song!!
STEVE BERMAN-Seriouse song bring out the fact that eminem doesnt care what everyone else thinks he is saying f the world f the presidents f everyone.
THE REAL SLIM SHADY- MOre of a higher beat song and the guy is trying to say that hes so good everyones trying to imatate him the cloths the hair everything.
Buy the cds and make judjements on the other songs that are on the marshall mathers LP. Songs also feature Dr.Dre, Xzibit, Dido, Snoop d-o double gg (snoop dogg)and many other rappers. I personally like this cd a lot along with many of other slim shady cd's.
Cd's that i would also buy with this cd would be The Eminem Show,The Slimshady LP, Dr.Dre 2001,8 mile Soundtrack.
Give me a good rating. Eminems a good guy who might need a slight additude adjustment with his girlfrien kim. i think that everyone need to listen to this cd to get the full effect of eminem to get inside him and see everything he is thinking.

Em's controversial second effort, Jun 22 2004
By A Customer
With a lot of negative hype surrounding Marshall's debut album-"The Slim Shady LP", Eminem works around all of the controversy and puts out a very strong sophomore record. This album had three major hits that put this record near the top of the charts, including the very touching "Stan" (feat. Dido), a very funny song lyrically-"The Real Slim Shady", and a hard shot at all of Em's critics-"The Way I Am". This record is close to being great, but settles down at very good. This CD has three amazing songs (mentioned above), Six great songs: "Marshall Mathers", "Criminal", "Who Knew", "I'm Back", "Drug Ballad", and "B**** Please II", Two Awful songs: "Remember Me" and Under the Influence", and two other very scary songs "Kill You", and "Kim". In "Kim", Em raps about brutally killing his wife Kim, while still being able to make it home in time to care for his beloved daughter Hailie. Nonetheless, this album is still very good, and any Eminem fan should definitely have this. I recommend picking this album up along with Eminem's debut "The Slim Shady LP", before buying the "Eminem Show". 10/10-beats, 9/10 -lyrics, 7/10-flow, 9/10-production

A Rap Classic, Jun 16 2004
One of the most controversial CDs of the last ten years, 'The Marshall Mathers LP' is Eminem's sophmore release with Aftermath Music. Love him or hate him, you can't deny that this guy is one of the best lyrcists of all time. His rhyme schemes and structures are so advanced that even Rakim is probably pressing the rewind button to hear what he says again. This is a direct response to the criticism to the (not so controversial in my opinion) 'The Slim Shady LP' that labeled Eminem as a hate monger, a mysogonist, and a homophobe. He fully embraces the persona with the aid of his alter-ego Slim Shady and takes it farther than any of his detractors could have imagined, brilliantly. This is one of the best 'f*** you' records out there and is truly artful if you look at it right. The production is average, the lyricism is amazing, and almost every track (except 'Under the Influence' which features D12) is good. Em's best work to date which he probably will never top. (4.5/5 mics)

Essential to every rap fan's album collection., Jun 13 2004
He may piss you off at times, but the boy's got skills.Usually the songs Eminem makes into music videos are the worst ones, but "The Way I Am" is impressive lyrically. It's raw anger put into smooth flows and a great hook. My favorite songs on this album are "The Drug Ballad" which is an ode to stoners and alcoholics. It's a fun song with a super catchy beat. The lyrics are what make it awesome though, they're immature and rebellious. "Criminal" pokes fun at Versace : "And I was just checking the mail. Get it? Checking the MALE?" What a smart ass. Get the CD.
