1. Public Service Announcement 2000 (0:25):
This, like on the first album, is a short announcement to start the album. No point of this track

2. Kill You (4:24):
Eminem slags off his mother because she tries to turn him against his father.

3. Stan (6:43):
You should know this song. Basically it is about Eminem playing someone called Stan and writes letters to Slim Shady, and he drives a car over a bridge with himself in it.

4. Paul (0:10):
A very short track, Eminem on the phone

5. Who Knew (3:47):
Eminem is saying that he never knew that his songs would influence people so much and why he should change his lyrics

6. Steve Berman (0:54):
Another speaking track about Eminem and his first week of record sales

7. The Way I Am (4:49):
This is Eminem explaining that he is who people think he is, ad that people judge him by appearance and his songs.

8. The Real Slim Shady (4:44):
Another one everyone should have heard of
Eminem is telling us who he really is and he also slags off other famous people.

9. Remember Me (3:38):
Eminem makes his voice sound totally different and he is trying to get people to remember him.

10. I'm Back (5:10):
Eminem tells us how he bounce back from all of the problems that he has received in this time, and he expresses his feelings quite a lot in this track.

11. Marshall Mathers (5:20):
Eminem is explaining that he is normal like everyone else and how nobody cared about him when he was a nobody and now that he is famous and that everyone knows him and likes/dislikes him

12. Ken Kaniff (1:01):
Ken Kaniff having a blowjob.

13. Drug Ballad (5:01):
Eminem tells us about his experience with drugs when he was younger and the sort of drugs that he uses.

14. Amityville (4:12):
Eminem describes a weird town called Amityville

15. Bitch Please II (4:48):
I am not actually sure what this is about, but it is good and worth listening to, it features the likes of Dr Dre and Snoop Dog. It is a good track.

16. Kim (6:17):
Eminem is speaking about his ex wife. He is saying how much he hates Kim and how he wants to kill her, being horrible to her at the same time. Great to listing to when you’re angry

17. Under The Influence (5:22):
Eminem is saying to everyone that if they don’t like his music that they can suck his dick.

18. Criminal (5:14):
Eminem is saying that everyone believe that whatever he says he does in his songs, that they think he does it in real life when it is not true. Because of his lyrics everyone thinks that he is a criminal

19. The Kids (5:05):
Eminem is being a schoolteacher and telling kids about his friends and their experience with drugs and what happened to them. The voice of Eric Cartman is featured on this song.

This album is four years old now and you wil be unlikely to see it anywhere but the best bet would be Virgin or HMV and it should now cost no more than £9.99

Overall this album is very good and the best of the four albums that he has produced.
