View More By Eminem Our ReviewEminem has always been something of a shape shifter, a constructor of elaborately self-referential personas whose penchant for self-exploration can often take the form of snide, self-consciously juvenile lyrical play, bracingly bitter tirades, or ice grilled hip-hop classicism. On The Marshall Mathers LP Eminem cleverly resurrects the earnestly self aware, Masta Ace-idolizing backpacker of his indie debut The Infinite, and introduces him to Slim Shady’s gleeful nihilism, birthing a compelling new persona to guide us through this, his third, and perhaps finest album. Though still operating under the aegis of Dr. Dre’s Aftermath label, Eminem uses The Marshall Mathers LP as an opportunity to display his talents as a producer. He proves capable of crafting moodily compelling soundscapes, such as the chiming, Rakim quoting “The Way I Am”, but his productions generally hove to a single, somewhat plodding template. However Eminem is ably supported here by a cadre of veteran producers who provide The Marshall Mathers LP with many of its most exhilarating moments. Former Flavor Unit mastermind 45 King loops a Dido sample to unexpectedly mesmerizing effect on “Stan” while Dr. Dre drapes large portions of the The Marshall Mathers LP in impeccably produced, shimmering G-Funk. In the midst of this embarrassment of sonic riches and Eminem’s playful identity crises, it is easy to lose sight of his remarkable talent as an MC. In the end it is his incisive lyricism and elusive off beat/on beat delivery that make The Marshall Mathers LP a true classic.. Customer ReviewsThey Call Me Slim Shady, I'm Back, I'm Back (5 stars)This is an amazing CD. The first Eminem CD I bought was Encore. I really liked it so I bought The Eminem Show which I adored. Then I got The MMLP and SSLP at the same time. At first I thought this album was a little too strange. Then, like so many other people, I listened to it again. Then I appreciated just how awesome and mind-blowing it was. Some songs are serious, others are comical. Sometimes you can’t tell whether he really does mean Eminem Rules! (5 stars) Eminem is the best rapper alive, hands down. Best Hip Hop album ever (5 stars) This is one of the, if not, best albums you can buy. I bet you even a gay person would love this album if they really listen to it. It is going to be one of those albums that is in not just hip hop but music history. Definatly buy it!!! BiographyBorn: October 17, 1972 in St. Joseph, MOGenre: Hip Hop/Rap Years Active: '90s, '00s, '10s To call Eminem hip-hop’s Elvis is correct to a degree, but it’s largely inaccurate. Certainly, Eminem was the first white rapper since the Beastie Boys to garner both sales and critical respect, but his impact exceeded this confining distinction. On sheer verbal skills, Eminem was one of the greatest MCs of his generation — rapid, fluid, dexterous, and unpredictable, as capable of pulling off long-form narrative as he was delivering a withering aside — and thanks to his mentor Dr. Dre,...
