    MMLP was hot and controversial for it's time, but listening to it now makes Eminem look like a whining **** Don't get me wrong, MMLP has "Stan", "The Real Slim Shady", "The Way I Am", "I'm Back" and "Under the Influence", but overall the album is...eh.

    at this rate, "Marshall Mathers" could go down as the single most overrated LP of the decade.

    he's a talentless hack that relies on tired cliches and taboos to shock people into listening and liking him

    Pointless, stupid, and uncomparable to the 2000 Album of the Year Two Against Nature.

    Álbúm terrivél, que só tem de Bom The Monster, isso por causa da Rihanna, porque se fosse pelo Eminem seria um lixo completo.

    Descartável, sem mais palavras pra descrever essa coisa.

    I think that the fact this album is only rated 78 is an insult. This is easily Eminem's most raw and honest work ever.

    Complete trash. Its ugly, divisive, has simple instrumentals. Its pretty much ear rape for anyone above the age of 21.

    The collaborative efforts of tracks like "Bitch Please II" and "Under the Influence" make Eminem seem like an ornamental prop in Dr. Dre's ever-growing hip-hop dynasty.

    The problem is, as the album drags on, young Master Mathers wastes his considerable wit and opts to grouse in the guise of a rampaging reactionary. Song after song finds Eminem viciously baiting real and imagined enemies, as if that's all he knows how to do.

    It just isn't as much fun this time around, no matter how fresh Dre's beats are or how many worthy targets get shot down along with the innocent.
