The Marshall Mathers LP [PA] by Eminem

Pros: Great subject matter and lyricism, funny, production
Cons: Immature, a few weaker moments

The Marshall Mathers LP is the fastest selling rap album of all time, and the one Eminem album that is actually considered a classic by some. Whether it is actually a classic or not can be argued, but regardless of its status, it is definitely hard to ...

Pros: His flow, introspection, intelligence, and obvious status as "the honky who pulled it off".
Cons: So over-the-top that it gets almost ridiculous. Skits are shit, no matter who does 'em.

Alright. I finally caved in and gave the Em a chance, though I’ve historically given white rappers as much or more short shrift as anybody out there. Still, I found the Eminem tracks on the 8 Mile Soundtrack oddly appealing, so I figured it ...

Pros: Unique, entertaining, excellent production and lyricism
Cons: sometimes goes a little overboard

Nobody, not even Dr. Dre and Eminem themselves expected The Slim Shady LP to sell as well as it did. Eventually reaching 5x Platinum status – it was the album that solidified Dre’s Aftermath Entertainment as the new hip hop powerhouse and made the ...

Pros: Eminem is more serious on this one; lyricism is still excellent; classic songs
Cons: "Kim" literally makes the ears bleed

Oh ho ho… you thought Eminem was bad when he was Slim Shady, did you? I bet you wish Slim was back after meeting Marshall Mathers, don’t you? You see, Eminem was having a bad day when he made this album. A really bad day. ...

Pros: Best beats Eminem ever got; brilliant satirical pieces and conceptual songs; high-level lyrical skills
Cons: Skits; pop filler; lukewarm guest spots; sometimes Slim Shady gets out of control

As commercially successful as The Slim Shady LP was when it was released in 1999, even Eminem himself could not anticipate the monumental way the next record, 2000’s The Marshall Mathers LP, would eclipse it. In fact, compared ...

Pros: Eminem's unsurpassed lyrical skill over rock-solid production...combined, an epic masterpiece.
Cons: None. This is a very candid look into one of hip-hop's most brilliant psyches.

Nobody saw Eminem coming --- nobody. With his introduction into the hip-hop mainstream on The Slim Shady LP (1999), he ignited a small wildfire deep in the heart of conservative America. A highly-successful and controversial solo debut, ...

Pros: Everything! Unbelievable rhyming, wit and flow, Amazing Production, Eminem at his absolute best
Cons: Virtually nothing, a few guest appearances

Few albums have been as highly anticipated as The Marshall Mathers LP. The critical and commercial success of The Slim Shady LP, coupled with the controversy it created and the typical anxiety and anxiousness surrounding an artists sophomore performance ...

Pros: Em proves he's one of hip-hop's most compelling MCs; Dre's production perfectly complements his style.
Cons: Some weaker tracks in the second half.

Let me just start this review by saying that I don't consider Eminem some kind of genius in terms of lyrical content. Most songs on this LP are variations on a similar theme -- namely, Eminem responding to people who blasted his smash debut The Slim ...

Pros: Just about everything, production, lyrics, subject matter, classic after classic
Cons: One weak track, some unessicary skits

When Eminem burst onto the hip hop scene in early 1999, no one could have predicted the success that he would come to see. His mainstream debut, The Slim Shady LP, received rave reviews and it elevated him to amazing heights. He scored a home run with ...

Pros: Outstanding production, lyrically second to none, one of the best hip hop albums ever made
Cons: Lyrics may be offensive to some and thats about it

Its hard to believe buts its been almost 5 years since the release of this album Since that time has released 3 other albums "the Eminem Show" " 8 mile soundtrack" and of course his recent release "Encore" but none will ever match up to the genius hip ...

Pros: Awesome beats and humour.
Cons: Eminem can go a little over the line a little with the song Kim.

(quote from eminem for the I have to say that I am very sorry for having such a bad review on the Encore CD by Eminem. I am just a noob but i'm trying the best i can. thanks. ON TO THE REVIEW. The Marhsall Mather LP is one of the funniest, most ...

Pros: No.
Cons: Not suitable for human beings. I had to cleanse myself after with a cold shower.

I know amongst all the youngsters this character named Eminem is quite popular. Being not a fan of the FM radio stations, nor commercial television, I had previously not had the honour of listening to the young man. In fact it was my niece that ...

Pros: Some brilliant lyrics, beats, guest appearences
Cons: At times it's the same thing over

I've heard Slim Shady LP and without a doubt in my mind this is Em's best album yet. Dre puts in a lot more effort this time round and the production is top-notch. It is also lyrically his most consistent, even though most times his subject matter is...

Pros: A very original album that brings totally new stuff to the table
Cons: some skits but they are funny sometimes

This is a very original and solid album. I don't know why on the page to come into this review section says 1 star because this album deserves 7! All people who are offended by this album just don't listen to it! I mean really why complain? Just dont...

Pros: Good production and rhymes.
Cons: Goes overboard at times, some parts unlistenable.

Seeing as this is the 185th review of The Marshall Mathers LP, you're probably wondering if I have anything new to bring to the table. Well probably not. But I figured that since I know the album inside and out, I might as well offer up my take on it....
