Advantages: Great lyrics, good themes Disadvantages: brutal and offensive lyrics
Eminem is probably the most offensive rapper I have ever listened to, he is also one of the best. Although I don't agree with some of the things he say's (mainly about rape and murder), the general themes of censorship and blame are put across quite well put into context of when your angry you say your going to kill someone, but are you really?. The standout tracks are "i never knew", "stan", "the real slim shady" and "drug ballad". Stay away the ...

BUY THIS NOW!!! Review ofMarshall Mathers LP, The (Explicit) - Eminemby
hirennaik
Advantages: Excellent rapping Disadvantages:
If you liked the first Eminem album you'll love this one. This album is amazing! My favourite tracks are stan, where Eminem raps about an obessive fan who ends up killing him, this collabaration with Dido really suits the rapping. And makes for a killer track. My other favourite track is The Real slim shady. This is also an amazing track. If you like Dr.dre but find it a bit too hard core, then this will suit you. Buy this album now and you will not ...

Have you ever listened to a rap album? Snoop? Dre? Cube? if you have you'll know that yes, they kick ass and yes they sound good pumping out of your car stereo. But have you ever stopped to think about he lyrics, listen carefully and after a while you'll realise that infact all the songs are exactly the same. Same verses, same guns, same bitches, same weed, but this is where Eminem differs. Yes he can rap about guns and weed, but he can also rap about ...

Album of the year? Review ofMarshall Mathers LP, The (Explicit) - Eminemby
bigphil
Advantages: Disadvantages:
Marshall Mathers has produced a high quality album. It contains all forms of track, some with a heavy beat and some with slower beats. He has compiled with other acts such as Dida, a great track called Stan which is well worth a listen. It also joins with Dr.Dre who put more effort into producing the album rather than rapping in it. The tracks certainly contain explicit lyrics but they come with the artist, so is not recommended for younger listeners ...

His best effort so far Review ofMarshall Mathers LP, The (Explicit) - Eminemby
Pillsbury
Advantages: Every song worthy of a listen. It's evident he has talent in abundance Disadvantages: There aren't many songs where the 'f' word can't be found
With this, the third solo offering from Eminem, comes his best
cocktail of meaningful lyrics, with that catchy edge that make
his songs so easy to listen to and enjoy. Probably the best
example of this - and in my view the best song on the album
- is 'Stan.' About an obsessive fan, it has some hard,
heartfelt lyrics contrasting with a soft, mellow chorus.
The album contains more swearing than ever, both in serious
tracks like 'Kill You' and ...

After his success last year with the brilliant Slim Shady LP he does
it again with this a much better album. I think that this is the album
that genuinely has everything. It leaves nothing to be wanted. It
has comedy, seriousness and the unquestioned style of the first
white rap artist to make an impact on the world scene. He's
probably an asshole to live with but listening to this record is taking
a piece of that from a safe distance and with ...

Advantages: Brilliantly rapped songs which in some cases are like stories whioch is a good effect. Disadvantages: None at all!!.
...the new Eminem album The marshall mathers LP a few weeks ago and just can not stop listening to it, its brilliant and espeically with all the swearing init people might think badly about it but i dont i think its gteat how he swears in his songs.
Quite a lot of the songs on his album are quite like stories which is a brilliant idea i think because they are srappeed well and also with some rappers you cant really keep up with what they are saying ...

Advantages: The most original and hard hitting lyricist around! Disadvantages: Don't think that you're going to get an album full of "The Real Slim Shady" (the first single)
Eminem simply redefines the definition of WHITE HOT!!!
This album, which gives listeners an audio rematch with the current white hurricane of the lyrical game, shows how Eminem digs deeper into the caverns of his mind to exorcise his demons.
Don't expect an album full of club bangers such as "The Real Slim Shady" throughout the album. Em almost uses this track as ear candy to allow him into your head with the rest of the tracks on the album. ...

What an album!!! Review ofMarshall Mathers LP, The (Explicit) - Eminemby
MarkEminem
Advantages: Almost perfect Disadvantages: Amytiville
First, I must say that if you like N'Sync, prepare to be offended! Eminem really hates those poor boy bands, and if you heard the single "The Real Slim Shady", you'll know he doesn't have much time for Christina Aguilera! Well, to the album. There is a jokey "Public Service Announcemant", but don't let this humour put you off. The album gets a whole lot more serious, as shown in songs like "Kim" and "The Way I Am" (my personal fave). There is some ...

Go get it! Review ofMarshall Mathers LP, The (Explicit) - Eminemby
Geordieliam
Advantages: Strong, passionate, real life Disadvantages: none
...year, make it this one. Marshall Mathers is a finely composed set of songs, which is contradictory to the image that Eminem have made for themselves. He is seen as a guy that does nothing but swear and make rude signs. However, some of the songs on this album have deep meaning, and have poise which havent even been attempted by other artists. He tells life how it is, and not glossed up like some other well known musicians. I don't understand why people ...

Slim is da man! Review ofMarshall Mathers LP, The (Explicit) - Eminemby
danni08
Advantages: top tunes, catchy tunes Disadvantages: amount of bad language
i bought this album as a listener of slims music, but until buying this album i wasn't a very big slim fan, but now i think that slim is the best rapper out there, despite him bein dissed for bein a white rapper. I am constantly listening to the alum and can't get the tunes out of my head, ive only had the album just over a week and i think i know most words to most songs, thats how catchy it is. I think the album is much better than his other album ...

Advantages: Funny,witty rapping Disadvantages: Not for young sensitive ears
Rap music has been round for almost as long as I have, perhaps that might be a slightly inaccurate, but hey you know what I mean. Sometimes rap seems to be very unoriginal and looks to be running out of ideas. Then you get an album like this. I'm 44 and there is no way I would let my 7 year old son listen to this, the language really needs more than a parental discretion sticker. That said, the album itself sounds so hard and fresh and witty. If Frank ...

Advantages: Plenty of good songs, fresh from the man Disadvantages: To poppey for Eminem
Is this Marshell Mathers, Slim Shady or Eminem we listen to when we pump this? I don't know, but what I do know is, this is a work of art, its a masterpeice. Though I do think he is turning raher popey for my likeing, don't get me wrong I am one of his biggest fans "I even got the underground shit you did with skam" Even though he blatebtly says "No" he is getting to poppey, there are some tracks which prove this wrong also, "Kim" or "Kill you" these ...

This is wicked!!! Review ofMarshall Mathers LP, The (Explicit) - Eminemby
Mars
Advantages: Really good to get you in the party mood Disadvantages: Old fogies won't think much of the bad language
This album is the best I've heard in a long time. The music is very much like other Eminem songs,but the lyrics are very meaningful. You can tell that he didn't have the happiest childhood, but he has tried really hard to make something of himself. He may not have the best reputation in the world, but I love him to bits. He's the best!!! Just remember, if you buy it you will have 'Kissed His Ass'!!! I think every house in the world should own a copy ...
