...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.

Slim Shady/Marshall Mathers/Eminem is one talented bloke.... Read review
