Pros: Better production than his previous CDs, Eminem seems to be returning to his underground style
Cons: -
I first heard Eminem about 4 years ago on "Infinite" a CD released on an independent label... I immediately loved it and couldn't wait for more. The came "The Slim Shady EP", which contained the original versions of...

Pros: None come to mind...
Cons: Umm...almost every track...
After reviewing Eminem’s first commercial release The Slim Shady LP I decided to read the lyrics and give a listen to his next The Marshall Mathers LP. Once again I thought to myself in an angry, befuddled, and dumbfounded tone, “what on...

Pros: The guy has tons of talent. Humerous songs. "Stan" is a highlight.
Cons: Not for kids. "Kim" is messed up. Controversial.
This cd is definitely not for the faint of heart. I've heard the millions of complaints about his lyrics concerning violence, domestic abuse, homosexuality and everything else he raps about. My feeling on that is that I think Eminem is someone you have...

Pros: Great songs, makes you think
Cons: LOTS of explicit content, the skits aren't that funny
I was just shocked when I played the first track of The Marshall Mathers LP. I knew from that moment that this album would be extremely popular and at the same time cause controversy. Personally, I enjoy most of the tracks and I'd recommend it to most...

Pros: Head Nodding Dr. Dre Beats, Acute And Amusing Lyricism, Unusually Amusing Skits.
Cons: The Later Tracks, The Structure Of The Album (i.e Track Order)
Having made his name on the underground scene, Eminem was signed to Dr. Dre's AFTERMATH label giving him the credibility he'd always lacked. Upon the release of his first album, THE SLIM SHADY LP (****), despite massive sales, as being part of a new...

Pros: Very personal, and a route to understanding eminem
Cons: A bit too many cuss words for parents to stand
Eminem became almost a household name as he entered the hip hop scene with "My name is..." last year. Since then, he has been the center of many controversies which may usually kill a career. Yet for Eminem, it was his honesty that made him a...

Pros: Fun Fun Fun...
Cons: The vulgarity, profanity, and derogatory remarks if it's not your thing.
My fiance bought this album a long time ago, it didn't really impact me enough to write a review about it...until I was driving down the road, waving my hands in the air, singing at the top of my lungs "I'm Slim Shady, yes I'm the real...

by tkerodd - Top 500, Jul 03 '01
Pros: good rhythm, great production
Cons: too much profanity...WAY too much profanity
Eminem is one of those polarizing figures in music that doesn't come along very often. Like Elvis back in the '50s, Eminem is pushing the envelope of music for young people, while parents cringe. Millions of young men know this CD by heart, and Eminem...

by conter7 - Top 1000, Sep 26 '00
Pros: Great Songs, even if they supposedly promote violence
Cons: One song about homosexuals which is quite disturbing
To make it into the "Big Leagues" in the music industry can be an extremely difficult task. Many or most musicians usually don't make it big and either give it another stab or end their dreams on the spot and pursue other forms of work....

Pros: Variation, Beat, Riveting Lyrics
Cons: Vulgarity beyond anything you've heard before!
I bought the Eminem CD because my 15 year old son asked for it and I wanted to see what he was listening to. The first run through appalled me. I was shocked by the language and the use of such subject matter as killing and drug taking and wife...

Pros: Unique musical style, something for everybody
Cons: NOT for children or people easily offended
NOTE: This opinion was originally posted in the Eminem subdirectory, not in the Marshall Mathers LP directory. I felt that I should probably move it to the correct category.
First off, I'd like to say that I believe that...

Pros: Great music with "phat" beats and humorous songs/skits
Cons: This album should have Parental Advisory stickers all over it
The first time I ever saw Slim Shady, also know as Marshall Mathers was on MTV when they premiered his "My Name is" video.Like most people who got to like Eminem I didn't until he appeared on MTV and rocketed to stardom.
If you...

Pros: Well-rhymed, produced, controversial
Cons: Topics get repetitive, collaborations don't work
It is very unlikely that you have not heard of Eminem - he broke out on the rap scene out of nowhere, discovered by the great Dr. Dre in '98 and has since dominated MTV and airwaves. At the same time, he has stirred up much controversy from the...

by B_Campbell - Top 500, Dec 11 '00
Pros: music is actually pretty good
Cons: lyrics are terrible
After listening to this album, I'm not sure which is worse: the travesty that is Eminem, or the one which is his fan base. I used to think that he was just joking and didn't take himself seriously, but the exact opposite is true. Whats worse is that...
