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

Advantages: Great album through and through! One of the best Rap albums available. Disadvantages: Due to content, should not be played around minors.
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 ...

A key moment in rap Review ofSlim Shady LP, The (Parental Advisory) [PA] - Eminemby
svedebo
Advantages: Very original lyrics, and good rhythm Disadvantages: Some listeners might be offended
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. ...
