(1.5 stars, which is being kind...) The most overrated artist of our time
Great beats, for one; creative sample of Dido's hit "Thank You", and a chilling, fascinating portrait of a possessive, stalking fan. Okay, even I'll admit I like "Stan". Even if some of it is a bit clunky, and even though the overuse of profanity is annoying, and even though there's some obnoxious, trite homophobia, I still enjoy the song - but it's more for the sample and beats than anything Eminem himself does. All right, that's one song of eighteen. Actually, fourteen if you want to get technical: four of them are idiotic skits. The rest is a joke: either obnoxious, self-centered pandering to the gangsta-rap trends ("Kill You"; "Kim"; "Criminal"; "Bitch Please II") or self-centered diatribes against the media and mainstream culture that make constant sneering reference to Em's record sales, all with awkward pop-culture references that are supposed to pass for humor ("Who Knew?"; "The Way I Am"; "The Real Slim Shady" - yes, Em, we understand you're a rare white rapper; "Remember Me?"; "I'm Back"; the acoustic "Marshal Mathers", which I'm sure is supposed to be "experimental" or something; "Drug Ballad") with often unimaginative musical backdrops ("Amityville" is the worst offender; "Kim" sounds like a moment from a bad movie soundtrack). There are so many guest stars it's hard to pick Eminem (whose voice annoys me, I should add) doesn't even appear until the fourth verse of the sexist "B*tch Please II". Em is nauseatingly sexist and homophobic: if it's supposed to be satirical (as I believe it is), it's not funny, and if it's what he really believes he's got major issues. Either way, this is one of the most overrated, overhyped, over-lauded albums I've ever heard: just an uber-extended single for "Stan" (which isn't exactly "The Message" or anything in the first place). Look, I'm not a huge fan of rap, but I'll admit there are talented rappers, mainly of the "Old-school" variety: anyone who considers Eminem the greatest rapper ever has obviously never heard of Chuck D. I could recommend a huge variety of classic rock, modern rock, jazz, blues, funk and R&B over this, but then I'd be accused of being a "musical elitist", wouldn't I? .


not slim shady lp
this says it is slim shady lp but it is really marshall mathers lp anyone else notice that?.


Good music
this CD rocks, so if you like eminem either buy it here or at BEST BUY now!. If anyone doesnt know, yes this is the import you can also get at best buy!

Lets cut the crap and get to it.


Best music ever!!
Some people say his lyrics are just a little extreme, but it is still a very good album, especially for Eminem fans. If you are a rap fan I really recomend you get this cd.


Pretty darn good
I still like his music, but his lyrics just got too extreme for me. Let me start off by saying that I am an ex-Eminem fan. That said, this album is worth getting, for the music ONLY. Every song has a great beat and great tunes. If you can find an instrumental version of the CD, get that.
