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 song on the album. 'Guilty Conscience' - Great track 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 album cover seems to be a visualisation of this. B**** - Brief skit. ROLE MODEL - Another Comedy song in the same vain as 'My Name Is'. LOUNGE - Skit thats leads into 'My Fault' nicely. MY FAULT - Great song seemingly intended to put people off of drugs. KEN KANIFF - Cool skit introducing Ken. CUM ON EVERYBODY - Funky and upbeat song. ROCK BOTTOM -Serious and for many.. very easy to relate to at times' JUST DON'T GIVE A F*** Nice track..if slightly crazy! Loved this as a teenager. SOAP- Brief skit. AS THE WORLD TURNS - Good track with some great lyrics 'Go, Go Gadget D***' comes to mind! IM SHADY - Probably my least favourite track on the album, but still enjoyable. BAD MEETS EVIL - Great Track featuring Royce Da 5'9'' will get your head nodding! STILL DON'T GIVE A F*** - Great finale to a great album.
You won\'t find any rhyming about bling and Bentleys here... Just in your face, gritty, lyrical genius!
The album is still great.. I'm listening to it as I write this review. Every Rap fan, scratch that... EVERYONE should own this album!

Good start to your review........although if you summarise each track on the album, describing what it is like and why you like or dislike the song then this will help to increase your ratings.......... if you add more to your review let me know and ill come back and rerate accordingly for you :o)x
