dealing it with it disgracefully. The Detroit rapper's multiple identities are more mixed up than ever, with Marshall Mathers fighting for prominence against his alter egos: Eminem, Slim Shady, Kenneth Kaniff and his public image. Don't be fooled by the album title: apart from the eponymous "Marshall Mathers" (which runs the lyrical gamut from maudlin to maniacal) you won't learn too much about "the real Slim Shady" here. As fiction bleeds into reality, Eminem aggravates the wound to increase the flow. The Dr Dre/Mel-Man productions on this record don't have the slap-happy bounce of those from the Slim Shady LP; all drums and bass, they're ghostly, minimised slabs of roto-funk. Except, of course for the gleefully self-referential single "The Real Slim Shady", for which Dre appropriately cuts in some of the picked-guitar from his own "Forgot About Dre". Eminem's own co-productions with F.B.T. veer from the bounce to the ounce of "Drug Ballad" to the full-metal jacket of "Kim", where you get to find out all the gruesome details of how Eminem's paramour ended up in the back of that trunk (from Slim Shady's "'97 Bonnie and Clyde"). And believe me, it ain't pretty. If anything there's a lesson to be learnt here: money, success, drugs, murderous intent, mental trauma and schizophrenia are all just as American as apple pie. --Chris Campion
A turning point Review ofMarshall Mathers LP, The (Explicit) - Eminemby

Advantages: amazing history behind the songs and great music. Disadvantages: none at all.
This cd in my opinion was a great turing point in eminems career. This cd changed him from fame to super stardum. In this cd he attacks everyone who critersized his first album "the slim shady lp" and famously his ex wife Kim and his mum. The fact that he has chosen to use his real name for the title of this his seccond album shows that this album is alot more personal to him. This album is alot darker than his first as the only upbeat song there ... ...the only reason he wrote this was to have a radio friendly song on the album.
This album reached number one on the charts; billbord 200, top R'n'B/hip-hop albums, top canadian albums and top internet albums. This cd was a beak through in rap and has continued to be sucsessful even to this day. The only content significantly edited were offensive and violent parts that were aimed at police, women, homosexuals, and schools such as columbine and even ...
