The Slim Shady LP [PA] by Eminem

Pros: clever wordplay that was groundbreaking at the time
Cons: topics of discussion not for the feint of heart

The Slim Shady LP is not only Eminem's debut album, it's by far his finest work. Now it's not that his record sales slowed, they clearly continued ascending, as did his popularity, with the release of his follow-up disk, but from an artistic perspective, ...

Pros: Multies and clever wordplay integrated with a flawless, speedy flow over some ridiculous production.
Cons: That "My Name Is" nonsense.

Pros: Eminem is a fantastically skilled emcee; humorous songs; vicious battle raps
Cons: Annoyingly useless skits; a couple forgettable songs

Pros: Better production than previous efforts; further development of Slim Shady; brilliant conceptual songs
Cons: Skits; some bland production spots; sporadic barbs get a little tiring

Pros: Eminem's unbelievable rhymes, flow and wit, great production
Cons: 1 or 2 songs
