Slim Shady LP, The (Parental Advisory) [PA] - Eminem

The Slim Shady LP was the 1999 debut commercial album from Detroit rap superstar Eminem aka Slim Shady. Since its release you'd have to have been living in a cave not to have heard of Eminem, he's probably one of the most successful rappers ever, with a bank roll that only Dr Dre and Jay-Z and their business projects can compare to, love him or hate him Eminem is one of the all time greats in rap. The album debuted at #2 in the US Billboard Album ...
...for the young mc, The Slim Shady LP can truly be credited with Eminem finding his true style. Eminem would gain exposure entering the rap Olympics, a mixture of battles and freestyles,in which Eminem would be robbed in the final to a African-American rapper, with the general consensus that they had ruled again Slim because he was white, never the less head of Interscope Records Jimmy Iovine saw his talent and requested a demo. Iovine later took ...

Review of Slim Shady LP, The (Parental Advisory) [PA] - Eminem

After hearing 'My name is ' went out and bought this album from HMV 11.99. i had a mental picture of a skinny little black guy with round glasses looking a bit like spike lee (movie director) to my shock a white guy with bleached hair . Oh yes hear we go milli vanilli i thought Then i read the credits and saw Produced by Dr Dre (N.W.A) probably best producer out there. Now some people will find the album so offensive it would sicken them but ...
...of his tone and the music it comes across as some comedy or cartoon character. Now listen to sounds in the background and you will understand why this album is just like listening to a film tracks like 'brain damage' "one day he came into the bathroom will i was pi**ing and had me in the position to beat me into submition"where he is being bullied 97 bonnie and clyde "oh wheres momma she's taking a little nap in the trunk oh that smell daddy must ...

Review of Slim Shady LP, The (Parental Advisory) [PA] - Eminem

With Eminem's first major label release comes what in my opinion is his greatest studio album to date, this is a must hav for true Hip-hop fans in which you can truely appreciate Em's lyrical skills! The ever controversial Em doesn't disappoint neither, whether its his wittyness or his shock value you will be hooked on every word! With production shared by the Marky&Jeff Bass and Dr. Dre (who in my opinion is the greatest producer of all time) Every ...
...out tracks like "My Name Is", "Guilty Conscience" and "Role Model". A classic album and definately one to add to your collection, even if you do not enjoy hip-hop im confident you would appreciate Eminem's talent and this album is the perfect example of why he will go down in history as one of the greatest of all time! ...

...being un politically correct. The slim Shady LP is full of tracks that explain some of his lifes problems from his problems at school to the problems with his ex partner and their daughter hailey. If your easily offended then this is definatly not a album for you, on the other hand if you like a little humour with a serious side and a talented way of putting it then this album should definatly be amoungst your CD collection. TRACKS: "Public Service ...

Review of Slim Shady LP, The (Parental Advisory) [PA] - Eminem

This is a what i would call a groundbreaking album! My first real taste of the rap scene and I loved every beat and lyric of it. A lot of comedy, some commercial and indeed some very dark and perhaps shocking songs; all bursting with intelligent rhymes. Tracks: PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT - Short comedy intro/skit perhaps gives a little taste of what is to come on the rest of the album. MY NAME IS - The most commercial and perhaps lyrically random ...
...featuring Dr Dre. BRAIN DAMAGE - Darker song offering something of an insight into Eminem's childhood. PAUL - Brief skit. IF I HAD - One of the more mellow songs on the album. Gritty song reflecting Eminems' 'poor' beginnings. 97 BONNIE AND CLYDE - Very controversial at the time.. a parody of Will Smiths' 'Just the Two of Us' . In this version Em has just killed his wife and is singing to his daughter on his way to dump the body in the sea; the ...

Review of Slim Shady LP, The (Parental Advisory) [PA] - Eminem

This was not the first eminem album I bought, so I was familiar with his controversial lyrics and overall style, but I was still shocked at how good this album really is. I already owned all of his mainstream albums including the eminem show, encore and more. Since this album wasn't very famous I didn't expect much, and I only knew the track My Name Is, but I was happily surprised when I bought the CD. This album is very different to his new stuff: ...
...music is also much more rap than the new albums, which in my opinion are close to pop with talking instead of singing. Anyone who is a fan of eminem should definately buy this CD, and others who want something different should do the same. Warning: This album contains very offensive lyrics, and that parental advisory sticker is there for a reason. ...
