    Hasn't aged well. The lyrics about murder, rape, and suicide might have been outrageous back in 2000, but they come off as corny today. Eminem's complaints about his critics often reach Fred Durst levels of whining. These rants do have the occasional moments of poignancy though.

The lyrics about murder, rape, and suicide might have been outrageous back in 2000, but they come off as corny today. Eminem's complaints about his critics often reach Fred Durst levels of whining. These rants do have the occasional moments of poignancy though. It's clear the rapper is just trying to be as edgy as possible so it was crazy to really take what he was saying all that seriously. Criticizing the crude nature of his writing makes sense, but believing he was trying to get his young audience to commit violent acts? Not so much. It was interesting to hear Em address that.

    While I can't call myself a fan of the album, I do respect it's pop-culture significance. So I think it's worth revisiting as a history lesson on one of the biggest names in rap. There are also still instances of pure brilliance. Just know that hip-hop has come a long way since this was first released.    … Expand

    Eminem is sick on every single track on this record. I didnt like all of his guest artists on the album though. Also it featured a few pointless skits (I personally hate skits). Overall it was still a great album.

    I'm stingy with the 10/10 placement, but this album kills it. This man has no moral conscience. He breaks every taboo and sets new ground for popular music. At his lightest, he still slays all in his way. At his darkest, he pulls music that could've come straight out of a horror movie.

This album did had songs that did attract controversy, songs including "Criminal," "Amityville," "Remember Me?," and "Under the Influence." Some songs also tells life stories, including "The Way I Am" and "Stan," which is probably his best song on the album. Overall, this album amazing lyrically.

    Another thing I would like to point out is the beats on this album. Some of the beats on this album was not produced by Eminem himself. In fact, the beat for the song "Kill You" was claimed to be stolen. The beats have a lot of have a lot of bass, and sounds somewhat like the g-funk music styles. Overall, I'm not a huge fan of the beats, and I find the beats generally mediocre to average.

    Eminem's Marshall Mathers LP appeals to various types of audiences. I believe that this album appeals to fans of the genres rock, rap, and horrorcore because this album has all three of those elements in this albums. This album might also appeal to some who had struggled with their life, just like how Eminem struggled with his family and life in general. If you're not a huge fan of overuse of strong language (to me there's nothing wrong with that), or over-the-top violence, you might not be a huge fan of this album. Overall, this album appeals to a large and good amount of people especially for hip-hop fans.

    Overall, I liked Eminem's Marshall Mathers LP, and it is my favorite from Eminem's work. This album was very impressive lyrically, especially when I first listened to the album. I did find the beats to be mediocre, but overall it was okay. The album also has a large appeal, though it might not appeal to some, and the tracks are very well laid out. While it's not perfect, it's still a very good album, and is probably Eminem at its best.    … Expand

    One of the best albums of all time. Whether you like rap or not, you have to admit that Eminem in this album has produced a lyrical masterpiece that is almost poetic at times. Yet it is still angry, offensive, sad and funny at the same time. Genius.

    Quite obviously The Real Slim Shady at his peak, he showed he can ruthlessly diss little boy and girl bands, Grammy Winners, the Grammys, and many more thing. He showed imagination however dark in Stan. Thus qualities that made Eminem an original rapper, not like the others already rapping, but there will always be Eminem imitators. Thus when at the hands of The Real Slim Shady, will be ****** up.

It's early Slim Shady at his best with witty punchlines, good story-telling ability, and some good memorable shock rap lines. He flows well, rapping with intensity and passion. The lyrics were considered controversial at the time as they are supposed to be subversive. The beats are more stripped of ambient electronic synth elements, returning to more fundamental hip hop instrumentals for the most part, although there are some guitar and keyboard riffs here and there. Production was by Eminem himself, along with his production team F.B.T. and Dr. Dre. Really the entire album is worth a purchase, but the standout tracks are Criminal, Kill You, Drug Ballad, The Way I Am, and Stan. The Real Slim Shady was the radio hit. Kim is an emotional song where Eminem depicts the murder of his wife by himself, playing both himself and his wife, Kim. It's a wild song, and is a little unsettling. Obviously Eminem had marital issues with his now divorced wife, Kim Scott, and he hasn't seemed to settle down in a relationship with anyone since Kim. I wouldn't expect a female would want to get involved with Eminem after listening to the song "Kim." It's pretty brutal.… Expand

    A music industry full of pop aimed at pre-teen kids really makes you appreciate The Marshall Mathers LP. Granted if you are easily offended then don't bother.

    Not as good as the Slim Shady LP, but has some real great tracks, and what is arguably one of the best rap songs ever, Stan. The Way Am, Drug Ballad, The Real Slim Shady, **** Please, and Marshall Mathers are the best tracks after that. Overall the album has a very raw, honest feel. While disturbing and auditorrily grating, Kim is probably the most open and unreserved song I've ever heard.

    An overall metacritic score of 78 is criminal. Eminem put together one of the greatest albums in Hip Hop lore. Eminem is at his peak on this album, rapping deeply, honestly, satirically, and skilfully. Songs like "Stan", "The Way I Am", "I'm Back", and "Kim" are the highlights of the album. Controversial as ever but as talented as ever.

    This album was exceptional for its year. It had the perfect blend of seriousness, jokes and dark humor. Eminem displays all of these using great wordplay, stellar lyricism and amazing flow, which he himself claims he wanted to improve. Although certain songs' production was a bit weak, the album is a masterpiece overall and a hip hop classic.

    A production, lyrical, and story-telling masterpiece. It delves into his mindless anger as he shapes this LP into a sophisticated acts of terror against specific celebrities. The overwhelming lyrics of drug use along with vivid details of killing his psychotic wife and many other people sets forth an unquestionably perfect alter ego that brings out the evil in him.

    The MMLP album by Eminem is one of the best-selling, and most defining hip-hop albums of all time, and arguably some of the artist's best work. It is an assertive, edgy masterpiece with strong features, impressive writing, and is jam-packed with classic songs.

    Classic Eminem shows that anything is possible to happen in life. This album is simply capturing a moment that you can use rightly only a few times in your life, Em showed the world that he can do it. Impressive

    This has to be one of my favorite Hip-Hop albums I own. Of all the rap I've listened to, I feel like this is Eminem in his prime. The aggression and flow sync perfectly together to create one of the greatest albums I've heard. As someone who usually only picks a single here or there from an artists album, this has to be one of the first and few albums where I was able to maintain interestThis has to be one of my favorite Hip-Hop albums I own.

    This LP is word manipulation at it's finest, and while it's rather violent at times, the wordplay is outstanding and mostly unmatched to this day.    … Expand

    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.
