Will the real Slim Shady please stand up? On Eminem's sophomore album, he can't decide who he wants to be: the deranged pseudo-psycho of the Slim Shady LP, or a nice guy who just likes to rhyme about slicing and dicing his girlfriend ("Kim"). Of course, according to Eminem, he's just kidding. He refuses to take responsibility for the misogynistic, homophobic bile he spews, whining that he's the victim of people who don't get his unique sense of humor. It's good old America's fault if the kids aren't alright (Eminem blames bad parenting), and he's just capitalizing on Uncle Sam's dark side. On the Marshall Mathers LP, he's ambivalent about his fame, angry at his life, pissed off that people take him seriously, and fightin' mad at boy bands--and a lot of other white people. But the blue-eyed brat is acutely aware of his status as rap's resident alien: he has the most offensive mouth running, but never uses the "N" word. He gives lyrical love to tragic (black) legends like Tupac and Biggie while dissing white rappers hard. Even sitting duck Puffy gets the kid-gloves treatment. Of course, Eminem is an interesting, witty rapper, and there's some nice production on this CD, courtesy of Dr. Dre and others. But the hatred in Eminem's rhymes makes the album rotten at its core. And his protests that Slim Shady is just a persona become less convincing with each arrest. Then again, Eminem's got it hard: he's rich, famous, white, and male. --Lizz Mendez Berry

Shock value...........2007-07-09

If you actually listen, you'll find that he is one of the most talented MC's in the game currently. Very deep as you get past the initial shock of his dramatic flows.

Solid Sophmore Set.......2007-06-26

Worthy follow up to the Slim Shady LP. In this disc, Em goes back to his roots in some tracks, but also talks about life now that he's made it. All the writing strength is still there, and the guy still flows great. Good raps:

Stan - excellent, almost chilling, rap about the pyschology of an obsessed fan who progressively comes unglued when Em doesn't answer his fan mail right away. The chorus from Dido's tune is excellently woven into the rap. Very grim ending. Em's critics couldn't write anything this insightful

Who Knew - good, sarcastic examination of critics who blame music for some wacko's actions.

The WAy I Am - Em gets off his chest frustrations of being famous and never getting a second's privacy from fans who never think maybe he likes to be let alone once in a while.

The REal Slim Shady - very bouncy, catchy rhythm and lyrics. Got lots of radio and video play

Remember Me? - hardcore rapl Em gets to yelling in it. Features other rappers. Very heavy

I'm BAck - Em is back, again knocks/mocks people who blame him for others' actions. Kinda slow and slurry at times, like a record being dragged

Amityville - very heavy, Em yelling in this one too

The Kids - funny rap w/South Park references. Would be lighthearted, except people wind up meeting bad ends.

Criminal - another rap aimed at people who blame Em for violence

A rapper even a white lady and mother can love!.......2007-04-27

Eminem is one cool white boy poet among rappers! Over the past few years, I've been avoiding these 'in your face','woman hater',nasty rapper boys and their songs. I'd heard the stock stuff that's been the popular rap fare on the radio, and saw my 'innocent' young boys (my sons, age 12 and 10) rocking to it, intoning the lyrics along with the nasty boy on the air at that moment: "shut up b...ch', 'I'm gonna slap you, h.!', etc. blah blah blah. I would inwardly frown, and try to keep my 'wet blanket' hostile attitude to myself! After all, I fancied myself a 'modern' Mom, who'd let her boys decide for themselves what music they like. I wasn't afraid it would 'turn them into' angry girl-haters or street thugs. I knew, and still believe, that, when they see a Mom who respects their freedom to hear whatever they like (ok, with a few lines in the sand, when they go totally overboard), and come to the best decison about women, violence, rebellion, and all!
The key turning point, that made me decide to tune into Eminem, and see whether he actually has something good to offer with his stuff, that maybe, just maybe, has passion, soul, and POWER,(as any song that's heavy on sex and violence inevitably MUST also have, or else it becomes truly just angry junk food music), was my viewing of the movie "Scary Movie 3". Specifically, when I saw the white 'farm boy' rapper, who my boys told me was actually a parody of EMINEM, do his priceless 'rap' contest performance, then, I thought....This is totally cool! Let's buy an Eminem CD, and check out the boy!
Well, it only took one spin of Tracks 1,2, and 3,(and one or two later tracks, with a twist on the same themes as the first 3 songs), with their amazing powerful tongue-in-cheek, SLAMMINGLY effective, simultaneous parody of self (Mr. Slim Shady),and the 'ladies' (girlfriend, husband-blaming, wallowing in victimhood, mother, who he wants to 'f..', or bossy ladies on the warpath, or music executives who want to 'silence' his music's soul, cause it's too full of anger at their greed and jaded materialism, and so tell him in bored, whiny voices to try to write stuff that 'sells'), to fall in love with this POET EXTRAORDINAIRE, and his lyrics, which do some heavy duty spittin' on ladies (and men), but also can end with a softly spoken, sweet "I'm just foolin' ladies! You know I love you". I knew at once that this young man moved me, and that he spoke to me as well as to the boys groovin' to his beat and his poetic honest, no b.s., lyrics!
THIS IS ONE GENIUS THAT SHOWS WHAT RAP AT ITS BEST CAN BE, AND I AM HOOKED. I do laugh and shake my head, and cringe at times, when EMINEM spits out one or another line about his g.f. tied up in the trunk! But I also can't help but privately rock myself, and 'rap' with him, and say, keep on rocking Mr. Slim Shady...You got a soul, and you keep on sharing it with your generation, mine, and my kids' !!

CLASSIC.......2007-04-07

When i first heard this album back in 2000 it was out of this world,i listin to the album the other day and it just sounds as fresh as it does today.I have to give a big thumbs up to DR DRE as he created most of the beats and backing music for this album, and produced it.As is all of DRE,S producing from past to present its top notch, big ups to EMINEM and DR DRE,i even own the EMINEM license plate in new zealand as when i purchased the plate back in 99 the operator said who or what is that never heard of him,how times change,come on EM get back with DRE and try and produced another album like this.Its your best.

Hip Hop Masterpiece.......2007-04-06

with out a though eminem is one of the most vicious battle rappers to step into the game, his sadistic sence of humor, lack of moral, and split personalities help boost him to legendary status within years. this album is the highlight of his battle rapping career. from will smith to Insane clown posse. eminem lets it all hang out. althouhg his album doesnt touch the bases of horrorcore, the vulgarity level gives that feel. this guy was so raw they actually cut off n replaced over 10 versese. hate em or love him any true hip hop fan, can see the revolution in which took place here. besides 2 pac, eminem spoke the truth in every detail.

On The Slim Shady LP, Eminem wants it all. He's conflicted, you see; the world has treated him badly, and he wants to respond in kind. But he isn't a straight-up gangsta--this is, after all, the first release on Dr. Dre's Aftermath Records, his post-Death Row-era venture--and Eminem (born Marshall Mathers) doesn't really want anyone to follow in his footsteps, which leads to some interesting contradictions on this album. In the first single, "My Name Is," he's self-deprecating, rapping about his poor upbringing and his hairy palms. But on the very next song, "Guilty Conscience," he plays the devil to Dr. Dre's angel--that is, until Eminem brings up an incident from Dre's devilish past, rapping, "You gonna take advice from someone who slapped Dee Barnes?" Later, on "'97 Bonnie & Clyde," he turns Will Smith's "Just the Two of Us" on its ear, making it a tale of murder; but on "My Fault," he actually feels bad--though whether it's for the girl he overdosed or for himself is tough to figure out. With his nasal Midwestern tone, Mathers has a clean, clear flow, and the production--by Dr. Dre, Marky, and Jeff Bass--is crisp but consistently fun. With his outlook, it's tough to take Eminem too seriously, but he's made an album you don't have to take seriously to enjoy. --Randy Silver

Shady's not shabby.......2007-06-26

A great debut CD from Eminem. Obviously not for little kids; very adult content. Put aside the issue of profanity and accept the fact that Em ain't actually gonna do the stuff he raps about, he's just putting his feelings out on paper. Then you'll appreciate his stuff. Em is definitely a creative writer, and his flow when rapping is excellent. He puts down and communicates his feelings about life when he was a "down and outer" and nobody gave a rip about him. Good raps:



My Name Is - definitely catchy. The sanitized version got tones of airplay of course.



Guilty Conscience - insightful rap into what happens when 3 different young men are confronted by powerful temptations/emotions [need for money, sex, wife cheats]



Brain Damage - creative rap about a kid who's taken too much crap at school and home and fights back



If I Had - rapper muses on what he'd do if he had money



'97 Bonnie and Clyde - most genuinely disturbing rap. Depicts covering up murder of wife in company of daugther.



My Fault - rapper causes death of girl by letting her eat way too many shrooms



Cum on Everybody - gets listener hopping around



Rock Bottom - a look at feelings of a guy for whom everyday life is a struggle with poverty



Just Don't Give a



I'm Shady - has a thumping groove



Bad Meets Evil - Em is joined by Royce Da 5-9 in a parody on a Wild West Ghost Town story

Eminem - The Slim Shady LP.......2007-01-22

Eminem's (A.K.A. Marshall Mathers III) major studio debut album was "The Slim Shady LP" (1999). The Detroit MC enlists guest appearances from Dr. Dre, Paul Rosenberg (Eminem's Manager), Hailie Jade (Daughter), Mel Man, Aristotle, Marky Bass, Jeff Bass & Royce da 5'9". Singles on this release include: Dr. Dre produced first single "My Name Is" - which has Eminem introducing himself to the Rap Game & "Guilty Conscience" a collabration between Eminem and Dr. Dre, a storytelling track about choices - good and evil (Heaven and Hell) - Dre plays the good side of the conscious to the end of the track when Eminem taunts him. A third single "Just Don't Give A ****" was featured on Slim Shady's EP. Another early standout is "If I Had", Eminem continues the wackiness, but this time with more depth, on a track where he talks about struggling and all the things he is tired of. Eminem shows his twisted side showing his love for his daughter on a track about deposing his dead wifes body on "97 Bonnie & Clyde". Eminem let's the world know he should be the last one to be a "Role Model". The next couple of track's fall under skip material for me then Eminem drops my favourite track on this release "Rock Bottom" - Eminem puts his heart into this track explaining what it's like to hit Rock Bottom. Backed by some upbeat production Eminem reps himself on "I'm Shady". Back before the beef Royce Da'59 and Eminem collaborated on cuts like "Bad Meets Evil". Eminem lets the world know that he "Still Don't Give A ****" on the album's closer. Eminem captivated millions with his bizarre theatrics and antics on "The Slim Shady LP".

Eminem's "The Slim Shady LP" will keep all Eminem fans happy. I know it kept me bopping my head. Enjoy!!! ;)

Eminem's Greatest Album.......2007-01-05

I think this is Eminem's greatest album ever. Okay, I know I maybe shouldn't be listening to Em but anyone who likes rap or Eminem should buy this if you don't have it already and I like both. About the Album:

Please spare me the lectures about cursing, and violence. Yes it is has both but unlike the next album, this one is more playful and cartoonish. For example he doesn't rap angrily or very threatining. And a lot of the violence he talks about is very hard if not impossible to attempt. In fact, most of the tracks are quite hilarious especially: Brain Damage, My Name Is, My Fault, Role Model, and Just Don't Give a F**k. And it has the amazing track called Rock Bottom. I will say this though: this album is NOT for the faint hearted. But if you can take a joke and not take it seriously It ought to be very good CD in your opinion.

Best LP.......2006-12-19

The best album Slim has released hands down. (Although I do have all of his things.)
Despite the cursing and wierd topics, there are plenty of good tracks that everyone can relate to is they just listen.

Any lingering doubts as to the depth of Eminem's skills or his potential for raw yet compelling honesty are dispelled on The Eminem Show's first track. Armed with a quicksilver flow and a thundering rhythm track (the record was exec produced by longtime mentor and partner Dr. Dre), "White America" finds Eminem ferociously mauling the hand that feeds him, lambasting his critics, the industry, and the racism that, in many ways, helped make Marshall Mathers more than just another rapper. "Let's do the math," Em sneers, "If I was black I would have sold half/ I could be one of your kids/ Little Eric looks just like this." After the bombast of The Marshall Mathers LP and Eminem's well-noted use of sexual epithets, this kind of material is made more controversial because it actually rings true. From a brutal retort to his long-estranged and equally troubled mother ("Cleaning Out My Closets") to a surprisingly tender ode to his child ("Hailie's Song"), Eminem examines his life, loves, arrests, addictions, failures, and successes with surprising insight, making this a funk-drenched hip-hop confessional well worth the hype. --Amy Linden

Customer Reviews:

Third Strike - at his Critics.......2007-06-26

Em's flow remains strong here. His writing is maybe a bit less creative in this one, with him paying more attention to the tunes, but still good. The raps definitely hold interest, which is why I gave this one 5 stars. Good raps:

White America - Em muses on his success any mabye it having a lot to do with him being a white rapper and so accessbile to more fans.

Business - very bouncy and catchy rhythm. Dr. Dre is featured. A fun tune to hop along with.

Cleanin Out my Closet - a big blast at his mom

Soldier - different sound to it, fast and nervous, edgy like something's about to go down and the rapper is jonesing

Drips - slow, kinda languid rap about STD

Sing for the Moment - mixes Em's raps with the Aerosmith tune. Works well. Em says you gotta reach out and grab your chance

When the Music Stops - excellent fast and chaotic tune featuring a lot of guest rappers. Looks at how a lot of rappers have let the craziness of their music seep over into their lives and the line is blurred, with tragic consequences in the real world.

My Dad's Gone Crazy - excellent tune about Em and his experiences growing up/coming up and how important his music is. He states in this tune that he'll never stifle himself for the critics. Lots of anger in this one, well directed into energy.

Amazon.co.uk

What began life as an informal street mix-tape project to help launch fledgling Shady Records artists (Stat Quo, Ca$his, Bobby Creekwater, Obie Trice, and producer The Alchemist) has now become an official release. Flowing fairly randomly from track to track, the project, perhaps surprisingly for such a high profile outing, retains its original mixtape vibe. It's a thuggish and sluggish affair, led by Alchemist's somber, strong-arm beats (with additional production from Dr. Dre amd Kon Artis), and inhabited by a varied range of voices, from the Shady Records artists previously mentioned to Eminem himself (on half a dozen tracks), and appearances from 50 Cent, the recently slain Proof, and others from the G Unit crew. With so many cuts at the same tempo and with the same moody aura, it can all start to wear a little in places. Indeed, with such a wealth of up and coming talent and established personnel at work, there really ought to be more stand-outs. As it is, we get perhaps six killers (including Eminem-led cuts, "The Re-Up" and "Jimmy Crack Corn"), a disproportionate amount of fillers, and a mixtape/album that--just about--leaves a vaguely positive impression. --Paul Sullivan

Album Description

Eminem Presents: The Re-Up (Shady Records/Interscope Records), began as a street mixtape project--an underground, unofficial CD with raw production values--designed to help launch new Shady Records artists Stat Quo, Ca$his and Bobby Creekwater. "But what happened is that the material was so good and the tracks were getting produced like a regular album," said Eminem. "Instead of putting it out there rough and unfinished, I thought we should add some other new tracks, make it a real album, and put it in the record stores to give these new artists a real boost." The album was executive produced by Eminem, who also produced the majority of the songs. A handful of selections were produced by The Alchemist, who also compiled the album in true mixtape fashion. The Alchemist is best known for his work with Cypress Hill, Nas, Snoop Dogg, Mobb Deep, and Jadakiss.

Each of the tracks makes its official CD debut on Eminem Presents: The Re-Up, though Stat Quo's "Billion Bucks," and Obie Trice's "Cry Now" (Remix), produced by LT Moe, was recently released on mixtapes and to radio. The first single and video will be "You Don't Know" from Eminem, 50 Cent, Ca$his and Lloyd Banks. With Eminem and Ca$his from the Shady camp and 50 Cent and Lloyd Banks from G-Unit, the rap illustrates the unity of the two organizations.

The Re-Up also gave acclaimed hip-hop producer The Alchemist a chance to work with Shady's new regime. After joining forces on-stage as Eminem's DJ on last year's Anger Management 3 tour, Alchemist and the Shady camp began collaborating in the studio. This new album features the results of this anticipated collaboration with new tracks produced by The Alchemist featuring Stat Quo, Ca$his, Bobby Creekwater and Obie Trice.

Among the album's other recordings are "No Apologies" from Eminem; "Talkin' All That" from Ca$his; "City Of Gold" from Bobby Creekwater; "Murder" from Bizarre and Kuniva (both of D12); and The "Smack That (Remix)" with Akon.

Stat Quo, hailing from Atlanta, was signed to a joint deal between Shady Records and Dr. Dre's Aftermath Entertainment after Eminem and Dre heard him on the Underground Atlanta mixtape series. Creekwater, also from Atlanta, was inked after Eminem heard his work on demos and in the studio with The Alchemist. Ca$his, a Chicago native transplanted in his youth to Orange Co., California, was a member of West Coast underground favorites The Renegadez.

Rampant misinformation about Eminem Presents: The Re-Up included many false internet tracklistings and that the mixtape would be a tribute to D12's Proof, the recently slain rapper and close friend of Eminem. "The D12 album and those unreleased songs with Proof are coming," said Eminem. "But The Re-Up is about these new artists and these new songs. It isn't fair to them or to the memory of Proof to mix them up."

(3.5 Stars) Fans Will Enjoy.......2007-06-26

Eminem was originally going to put out a mixtape just to introduces Shady newcomers Bobby Creekwater, and Cashis. But after some careful deliberations, he decided to go ahead and put out a posse-heavy mixtape instead and market it under his name. The inclusion of everybody from 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks of the G-Unit, D-12, and the new guys, Eminem was able to come up with enough polished tracks for The Re-Up. It also helps Eminem too since it seems like he's been in a little funk lately. Last year he put out a "Greatest Hits" album titled Curtain Call despite the fact that he's only released 4 albums. This is when the rumors of his supposed retirement escalated to an all-time high. So with the help of , Eminem's existence is further extended. Now even though The Re-Up is a well-marketed mixtape, it still has a few cuts worth listening to. The Shady Records posse cut "We're Back" features Eminem along side Stat Quo, Obie Trice, and newcomers Bobby Creekwater and Cashis. The first single "They Don't Know" featuring 50 Cent, Eminem, Cashis and Lloyd Banks is the most mainstream track of all the unreleased material on the album. Stat Quo's solo cut "By My Side" is impressive, along with "Everything Is Shady" by Cashis and "We Ride For Shady" featuring the dynamic duo of Obie Trice and Cashis. There are remixes of other songs that were previously released. Obie Trice offers up two of his own, namely his reworking of D12's 2001 single "Pistol Pistol" from their Devil's Night disc and a remix of his own song "Cry Now" featuring D12's Kuniva, Bobby Creekwater, Stat Quo, and Cashis. Stat Quo and Bobby Creekwater improve upon Eminem and Akon's "Smack That," while Eminem and 50 Cent give us "The Ski Mask Way" remix to enjoy. There are a few missteps like the mundane "Jimmy Crack Corn" by Eminem and 50 Cent, the weird offering of "Whatever You Want" by Mr. Porter and Swifty McKay, and the horrible "Shake That" remix with Bobby Creekwater, Nate Dogg, Obie Trice, and Eminem. Only serious fans of anything Shady should add The Re-Up to their collections, but everybody else should borrow the disc and see if it's worth the time.

Mediocre Eminem.......2007-06-12

I don't know if I'm getting old or if the music is getting too advanced for me, but I was disappointed with this album.

Nothing beats vintage Eminem.

Maybe Eminem is getting too old.

Some strengths mostly weak samples.......2007-05-26

Not the best album & not intended to be either. Go through itunes and pick what you like.

Times have changed, so have these lyrics :).......2007-04-13

Seems to be a lot of mixed feelings on music/em lovers on this cd. Overall I find it to be a great CD, a huge sign of growth on all artist and a good teaser compilation. People complain there isnt enough EM on here, well it isnt his 5th cd just wait till november for it. This was simply to show the motive/skills/sounds to come from his label. As for comparasion to his previous music this is exactly in the right. He isnt that starved lyrical beast trying to make it. He is the highest selling rap artist and a goliath in not only hiphop but what you going to do when you're named 2nd most powerful celebrity in the world? you drop a cd about braggin! damn straight! This cd has strong beats and still gave me goosebumps when I first popped in on! GJ EM

A Decent Album.......2007-04-04

This album is an average rap album. It has moderate beats and lyrics. There is also a reasonable amount of filler. "You Don't Know" is a decent club banger and "No Apologies" gives us a glimpse and a reminder of the old eminem before his encore album.

Eminem's four studio albums shattered so many sales records that you might think just about every man, woman and gerbil on the planet already owns a bulk of the songs that make up this greatest hits collection. But Curtain Call presents the perfect opportunity to have another look at the life of Marshall Mathers. Starting out in the vein of the Beastie Boys and Slick Rick, he grafted filthy verses over bubbly nursery rhyme melodies and primitive Casio beats to come up with comical singles like "My Name Is" and "Real Slim Shady." Then angst and reflection set in, resulting in rare moments of vulnerability ("Lose Yourself") and a richer musical experience ("Stan"). The three new tracks reflect the entire spectrum, with "When I'm Gone," a bittersweet goodbye letter, signaling the raw emotion and youthful enthusiasm of his early days have substantially faded, while "Fack" counters that the Detroit rapper still has the dirtiest mouth in the business. --Aidin Vaziri

Album Description

Curtain Call includes three new songs--"Fack," "Shake That" (featuring Nate Dogg) and "When I'm Gone"--both written and produced by Eminem. In addition, the Curtain Call bonus track marks the album premiere of the controversial Eminem-Elton John live duet of "Stan" from the 2001 Grammy Awards presentation.

Executive produced by the nine-time Grammy winner, Curtain Call boasts all five of Eminem's gold and platinum singles to date, from the platinum, Oscar, and two-time Grammy-winning "Lose Yourself" (#1 Pop/#2 Rap) from the 8 Mile soundtrack and platinum "Just Lose It" (#6 Pop/#7 Rap) and "Mockingbird" (#11 Pop/#10 Rap) to the gold "Without Me" (#2 Pop/#5 Rap) and "Like Toy Soldiers" (Top 40 Pop). The other Grammy winners included are "My Name Is" (Top 40 Pop/#10 Rap) and "The Real Slim Shady" (#4 Pop/#7 Rap). Also heard are "The Way I Am" (Top 30 Rap), "Stan" (featuring Dido) (Top 40 R&B/Hip-Hop), "Sing for the Moment" (Top 20 Pop/Rap), "Guilty Conscience" (featuring Dr. Dre), and "Cleanin' Out My Closet" (#4 Pop/#5 Rap).

Curtain Call: The Hits spans contributions from all four of Eminem's major-label solo albums: 1999's quadruple-platinum The Slim Shady LP, 2000's nine-times-platinum The Marshall Mathers LP, 2002's eight-times-platinum The Eminem Show, and 2004's Encore, which is almost five times platinum. The three most recent charted #1 Pop and #1 R&B/Hip-Hop, with his major-label debut #2 Pop and #1 R&B/Hip-Hop. Each of his first three albums also won the Best Rap Album Grammy (Encore will be eligible for the 2006 presentation). Eminem has to date sold more than 65 million albums.

Customer Reviews:

Shady hits & misses.......2007-05-14

There are some great songs on Curtain Call. His hearfelt, personal songs are my favorite, where he's not trying to be someone he's not. Stan, Cleaning Out My Closet, and The Way I Am are very well written and sound very sincere. Lose Yourself, his best song ever, is very inspiratioonal. I also find Guilty Conscience w/Dr. Dre funny and energetic.

Then there are some songs on here that are just flat out annoying. The ones with silly, nursery rhyme lyrics, like Without Me, Real Slim Shady, or My Name Is...have merely a superficial appeal to young kids. They get real old real quick. I also have to skip past Like Toy Soldiers, because it seems a little pretentious. And by the time Mockingbird drones through the speakers, I'm pretty sick of hearing about his precious little daughter. Yeah, I get it Marshall, you love your little girl. Neato.

One of my biggest complaints of this CD is that the song Superman didn't make it on here. Why not?!? Maybe his beloved ex-wife found it too offensive and ordered him to leave it off or else.
Overall, I think the good tunes make this a CD worth owning. But you might wear out the NEXT button on your stereo trying to skip past the junk.

Nice CD to own.......2007-03-20

If you like Eminem but don't LOVE him then this is a good CD for you. It has all of his radio hits from his early years and a few from the recent stuff.

How They're Getting You To Buy The Greatest Hits .......2007-02-19

You know something I've noticed, whenever they make a greatest hits album of anybody they'll always put a couple of unreleased tracks on the disk to make people buy it, because they know we live in the days of iTunes, and so on, and those people who have all the albums can make their own greatest hits CD.

It's kind of obvious FACK and Shake That are studio left overs from Encore.

I dig it, don't tell the Profs.......2007-02-10

Ok, so I'm an English major, and my Psych Prof disses Eminem, but I dig it. I thoroughly enjoy this CD, and it has not been removed from the car CD player for days. Personally, I think there is a lot more going on in Eminem's head than he gets credit for. As a student of Anthropology and Psychology, I also detect a lot of Social Commentary in his work. He seems to be sort-of a musical equivalent of Stephen King (another guy who received little credit for his genius for a long time).

Don't tell the Professors, but I recommend Eminem (aka "Slim Shady"); this CD is groovin' and addictive. He has a unique flow and rhyme scheme. I also recommend his other works and videos.

looking for an excuse not to buy all of his albums..........2006-10-28

well here's his hits! Eminem topped the charts for so long! but most of the songs he released weren't even the best songs he's rapped to. for me, the highlight songs were: Soldier, Til' I Collapse & My Dad's Gone Crazy all from the Eminem Show! all these hits are catchy, some won't like them cause they do sound similar but that's fine. everyone has their own tastes, I never really liked rap until I heard The Real Slim Shady & then Lose Yourself. Eminem is the one that got me into rap so I thank him!

Fack is immature, funny, one of his only songs from his first album!

The Way I Am is probably his most depressing songs/videos and is actually one of the catchiest songs he's ever done!

My Name Is is the only other song from his first album. It's the song that pretty much everyone got to love and that's how he got to be where he is today! it's his first big hit that I can remember at least.

Stan is pretty much one of my favorite tracks because it has an interesting story & is well thought out!

Lose Yourself is by far the best hit he's come out with! It's a great rap song and it's so catchy!

Shake That is a chance to be silly and get up & dance!

Sing for the Moment is obviously an Aerosmith song. but Eminem puts a nice, serious twist to it and is surprisingly an extremely well done song!

Without Me provides us with similar styles to Just Lose It & The Real Slim Shady but all the 3 songs are fun to listen to!

Like Toy Soldiers is probably the best song off of the Encore cd! It's deep, meaningful & is sad to listen to.

Mockingbird is yet another message out to his daughter. but I don't mind it so much cause not only the song catchy but it shows how much he cares for his daughters!

Guilty Conscience, haha, Eminem gets to be the bad guy as he literally convinces people to crimes while Dr. Dre tries to talk them out of it. still, it's an interesting twist for song!

Cleaning Out My Closet reaches out to both his parents who weren't really there for him. Eminem has the right to say everything he does say here and I can understand where he's coming from! but anyways, the song is serious and a good song to catch!

When I'm Gone is his encore song and probably one of the most intense songs beside The Way I Am! It's got alot going for it and it's a great song for an encore!

Stan(live) feat Elton John is basically the same thing as the original except with no swearing and obvious a different singer for the chorus. but I'm not sure it's really worth it to listen to.

Also on the bonus cd there are 7 extra songs like: Criminal, Kill You & Just Don't Give A F*ck! so yah, it's worth your money to get Curtain Call with the bonus cd! the other songs are catchy & worth your money!

As a whole, the cd was well organized & he picked the right songs for the cd! Eminem was one of the best rappers of our time! You should definitely check this out!

Amazon.com

Eminem's fourth album offers few surprises, but still enough pleasures to carry the day. As evinced by Em's pre-election, pro-voting "Mosh," this is not exactly the same Eminem who seemingly crapped on anything and everything. Encore finds a surprisingly mature Eminem waxing reflective about his battle with Benzino ("Like Toy Soldiers") rather than unloading both barrels. However, it's not all elder statesmanship: "Puke" goes after his ex-wife Kim with incredible scorn, and "Big Weenie" showcases the familiar juvenile humor that made him famous. If Encore has a clear weakness, it's the bland production--the same plodding sound that he and Dr. Dre cooked up on the previous three albums. The exotic flavor of "Ass Like That" catches the ear, but many others run off the same monotonous minor-key melodies and tempos. Of course, people buy Eminem albums to hear him spit first and foremost, and in that regard few fans will be disappointed by Encore; it'd just be nice to see him switch up his sound at some point. --Oliver Wang

Album Description

Customer Reviews:

Eminem gets stranger than usual........2007-07-04

Regular album : 2.5 stars
Bonus disc : 4 stars

Eminem has always been an acquired taste. He always aims to offend and usually he is successful and writes one damn good song at the same time. But this was the first album that he fell short on one of these tasks. And it's the wrong one to be unsuccessful with, most of the songs and beats are forgettable and not up to Eminem's high standards. Maybe it was cause the five years before he had released three albums that were ground breaking plus a very good D12 album. Or maybe he was working on his label and becoming a business man. Or maybe he was just burnt out on the celebrity game (when a chump like Ja Rule is trying to play you there's got to be a point when you say, "Why do I even have to write this battle track for this fool?").

Whatever the reason, Encore seems distracted. Not that there aren't some hot tracks. Never Enough is probably the standout on the album. You can blast this in the car but beware cuz you might be doing 80 before you even realize it.

What it comes down to is, for an Eminem fan this is essential but for a fair weather fan you might want to pick up something else. Or for someone who just picked up Chronic 2001 and wants to hear some Eminem songs that weren't played out on MTV, this ain't the place. Pick up Marshall Mathers LP or Slim Shady LP.

If you are a hardcore fan, make sure you pick up the two disc. The three tracks on the bonus disc are better than the entire album. They're remarkably similar to MM LP or When I'm Gone from Curtain Call.

Cool songs . . .
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Mockingbird, Like Toy Soldiers, One Shot 2 Shot, We As Americans, Love You More, Ricky Ticky Tock, and of course, Never Enough.

Eminem's Nemisis.......2007-04-07

Behold, the inevitable downfall of Eminem. There are two major reasons why this album sucked:

1. The beats suck. The only songs that have a decent beat are Like Toy Soldiers and Mosh. And the only reason Like Toy Soldiers became popular is because of the catchy chorus which is just a sample of an old song called Toy Soldiers by Martika. Apart from those two songs, the beats on the other songs are pretty lame. I mean, in Rain Man, the beat consists of just 3 chords.

2. He ran out of things to say. This is what made his downfall so inevitable. If you look through his previous 3 albums, most of his songs have one of the following six song meanings:

- My mother is a b***h and I am going to kill her.
- My ex-girlfriend, Kim, is a b***h and I am going to kill her.
- I have an alter-ego called Slim Shady and he is a psychopath who doesn't care what people think of him.
- Woe is me for I am being persecuted by the media (even though this is the sort of reaction I wanted from them when I wrote the controversial lyrics because the controversy gives me free publicity and makes my young fans feel that they are rebelling against their parents and authority when they buy my albums, increasing my records sales and making me even richer, plus giving me something else to whine about).
- Radio friendly single with humourous lyrics that take shots at celebrities that I release for each album debut to gain radioplay and appeal to stupid pop fans with a short attention span (My Name Is, The Real Slim Shady, Without Me and Just Lose It).
- I have a daughter.

Eminem has been milking those 6 themes for his whole career. Yes, I am aware that he does have songs that do not fit into those six categories (eg. Stan, Mosh, Guilty Conscience). But the majority of his songs do. All his previous albums revolve around these themes. It was inevitable that he would eventually run out of things to say. I mean, how many times could he rap about killing his mother, killing his ex-girlfriend and Slim Shady before people lost interest? His first 3 albums had completely milked those themes for what they're worth, and due to his inability to think of anything else, he just ends up writing a bunch of silly, immature, incoherent lyrics with no meaning whatsoever. He seems to be more interested in immitating bodily noises than actually writing some decent lyrics. On top of that, his radio-friendly single (Just Lose It), as well as being about the same subject as all the other ones, sucked musically as well as lyrically. How brave of Eminem to do what every other celebrity and comedian has done in the past few years (make fun of Michael Jackson). There's a reason why Eminem quit after this album. And don't believe him when he says it's because he's sick of the fame, it's because he's run out of things to write about.

This is the sad legacy of Eminem. An artist whose lyrics revolve so much around present events, particularly what is currently happening in his life, that they quickly become irrelevant within a few years. I mean, who cares about his criticism of Moby and boy bands (Without Me) now that their 15 minutes of fame are up? Who is going to care about his shots at other rappers and Michael Jackson when they are gone from the spotlight? Who still cares about his hatred of his mother and his relationship with Kim? Or how he's moving out of Hollywood (Say Goodbye to Hollywood) or his beef with Murder Inc (Like Toy Soldiers)? These songs become out of date within a mere 2 years after his album is released. The only songs that could possibly be relevant within 10 years are Lose Yourself and Stan.

People say that the Slim Shady LP and the Marshal Mathers LP are some of the best albums ever made, yet how many people still listen to them? I mean, going back and listening to them now, they just sound so bland and dated, and his voice just sounds annoying.

Eminem has no lasting appeal. He was fresh when he first came out, creating a buzz with his unique style and controversial lyrics, but his reliance on a few themes has lead him to a dead end. From the release of his second album, any old monkey could realise that his career would be short-lived. Eminem had potential, but his egocentric lyrics that relied on references to what was popular at the time, made him just another fad with no lasting appeal. Now his 15 minutes of fame are up, his fans have grown up, MTV and pop listeners will move onto the next fad and no one will remember him in 10 years time.

Where did Eminem go.......2007-04-04

A large shift in eminem's flow resulted in a dissapointing album. He reached his peak with the Eminem Show, but this album shows signs of a downfall. His rhyming style seems different and not as solid as before. This album was hard to get into and cannot be taken as seriously as the previous three. Some songs are decent , never enough, like toy soldiers, just lose it, and mosh being the best. After listening to this album one can only hope that shady makes atleast one more album that displays the talents of the old eminem.

Sorry.......2007-03-30

I'm not feeling this album the 3rd was the best because he let himself go. This 4th album is too much of a joke get Jeff Foxworthy instead.

''em''.......2007-02-27

This cd was a lot better then i thought it would be , after i heard the eminem show. A lot of singles came of this cd .

How Eminem was able to assemble so many credible emcees of today and yesteryear (Jay-Z, Rakim) to endorse his Holly'hood coming out party is anyone's guess. What is clear, however, is that (dare we say it) the Shady One might be growing up. On "Lose Yourself" Em abandons his callous, hardcore posturing to write thoughtful hood-centric coming-of-age lyrics that would make Melle Mel proud. On "Battle," Gang Starr's Guru tears through a sick beat from rap's most prolific producer, DJ Premier. Sadly, Nas wastes more valuable studio time dissing Jay-Z (ho hum) on "You Wanna Be Me." Interestingly, once you get past the living-legend love-in and peep the skills from Em's lesser-known Shady Records roster of underground wordsmiths, such as 50 Cent ("Wanksta") or Obie Trice ("Adrenaline Rush"), you might urge Em to consider giving up his thespian pursuits to become a full-time record executive. Not even the baffling inclusion of Macy Gray's humdrum "Time of Your Life" can sink this project. --Dalton Higgins

Great CD.......2007-01-12

Another GREAT CD by Eminem, a must have if you like his music.

A Collection of Excellent Rap.......2006-08-25

Back when I was still determining what music genre to call my own I developed an interest in rap. After a while I got my first real rap album, 8 Mile. It still remains one of my favourite albums. Every song (excluding 2, you'll know which ones I'm talking about) has been burnt in my memory. I'll break it down for you...

1. LOSE YOURSELF-Eminem: (5/5)- What better way to start an album than with the first rap song to win the Academy Award for Best Song. This is, without a doubt, one of Eminem's best ever, and don't forget that he produced it too. This will always be a rap classic, need I say more?

2. LOVE ME-Eminem ft. Obie Trice & 50 Cent: (4.5/5)- Maybe it doesn't sport the best content, but I can't get enough of this one. Em's production is excellent, the light vocal chorus contrasts very well with the hard rap. All three artists are hungry and they deliver well.

3. 8 MILE-Eminem: (4/5)- Another good production by Eminem, at 6:00 minutes it's a little long, but recreates that dirty Detroit street feeling from the movie.

4. ADRENALINE RUSH-Obie Trice: (4/5)- Obie definitely captures your attention with this one, nowhere else will you here muthaf***** spit so many times in one chorus. Perhaps the most over-the-top on this album, but I love it.

5. PLACES TO GO-50 Cent: (4/5)- Now that we're well acquainted with Trice, it's 50's turn to introduce himself. This is a good one, especially considering it's 50 Cent. He doesn't sound bored in this one, and it's yet another great production from Eminem.


6. RAP GAME-D12: (4.5/5)- This one sports all six members of D12, with a dope chorus from 50 Cent and chilling joint-production between Eminem and Denaun Porter (Kon Artis). This is D12's hip-hop 101, and the raps compliment the music well.

7. 8 MILES AND RUNNIN'-Jay-Z ft. Freeway: (3.5/5)- Good production by Eminem. Less then spectacular performance by Jay-Z and Freeway but not bad by no means. Jay-Z reflects on his career and Freeway's getting his started, which was what 8 Mile was about.

8. SPIT SHINE-Xzibit: (4/5)- Solid performance by X to the Z with solid production from Porter. Xzibit takes a chance to reflect on his rap career as well and provide some advice for others.

9. TIME OF MY LIFE-Macy Gray: (0.5/5)- I have no idea why this is here, other than it adds to the theme of the album as a whole. Basically, you'll listen to is once, ask "why's that on there?" and never listen to it again.

10. U WANNA BE ME-Nas: (3.5/5)- I'm impressed that Nas is on here, but this diss track is definitely not his best work. However, still a good song produced by Nas.

11. WANKSTA-50 Cent: (3.5/5)- Nice one mixed by Dr. Dre. 50 Cent is already picking fights with Ja Rule, I agree with 50, Ja is a wanksta.

12. WASTING MY TIME-Boomkat: (0.5/5)- Well...it lives up to its name. I just pretend this was never here, when you copy the CD on your computer you can just leave this and Gray's out and you'll forget it was even there. This album still holds very strong with 14 tracks.

13. R.A.K.I.M.-Rakim: (4.5/5)- It's an honour to have Rakim on this album since he influenced rap so greatly. Ra takes this chance to put down what he stands for, and certainly takes advantage of the rock hard beat produced by Denaun Porter and mixed by Dr. Dre.

14. THAT'S MY N**** FO' REAL-Young Zee: (3/5)- Probably the weakest track on here (pretending that it's a 14 track CD), it uses a nice collaboration of guitars, but Young Zee isn't trying hard enough. It's still not bad, but had Zee done better, he might at least have an album by now.

15. BATTLE-Gang Starr: (4/5)- Another one of the hip-hop icon appearances that make this album a classic. Battles were also a big part of 8 Mile. This track uses heavy base coupled with record scratching and in-your-face raps that make this another solid track.

16. RABBIT RUN-Eminem: (5/5)- A 3:12 minute song with no chorus, so what makes this a five star track? Eminem is simply UNLEASHED on this one! It's as if he's focusing all his frustration and pent up rage and vents it all in these precious 3 minutes. Aided by an ominous Eminem production with a slight clock ticking in the background, you can feel all of the raw emotion in this song that is hard to find anywhere else.

So there you have it. If you want a tight collaboration of new and old school artists, this is the album for you. The only thing that could improve this album would be to get rid of the 2 degenerate songs and get a couple tracks by Dr. Dre, 2Pac, Notorious Big or DMX. But lets not get greedy, for $13.88 I find it impressive enough that Em assembled Xzibit, Nas, Gang Starr, Rakim and introduced us to Obie Trice & 50 Cent.

I hope you found this review helpful.

8 Mile.......2006-07-12

Seeing I am a big fan of Eminem I had to get this soundtrack. It has the new single Lose Yourself and other songs by Eminem + lots of others by other artists. It has the song "8 Mile" the movie title and "Rabbit Run" a great lyrical song. Only two of these songs (Lose Yourself and 8 Mile) were actually played in the movie but the rest of them were good to make up a whole album of good rap material. You should also get "More Music From 8 Mile" which has all the songs played in the film, with songs by 2pac, Mobb Deep, Notorious BIG, Outkast, Naughty By Nature and more all pretty good. On the soundtrack Lose Yourself would have to be my favourite song. Lose Yourself is actually one of my favourite of all Eminem songs with great lyrical verses etc. However i'm also a fan of 50 Cent and D12 so their songs I am a fan of aswell. Good Eminem

The Unsinkable Eminem.......2006-05-02

Eminem has proven once again that he is unsinkable. With a brilliant ensamble here he also has proven to be a suitable producer as well, boasting a label with talent like 50 Cent and Obie Trice, both of which have blown up now, but at the time of this release they were small potatoes. The album track list reads like a whos who of the best in the rap industry, everyone from Nas to Jay-Z to Xzibit, all of whom lay down decent tracks, but the shining star is none other than Slim Shady himself, with more than a few killer cuts like the blistering anthem 'Lose Yourself' which stands alone as Shady's most glorious moment. D-12, the Dirty Dozen who up until now have ceased to impress me actually hold there own on 'Rap Game' while 50 serves up a luke-warm track dissing none other than Ja-Rule on 'Wanksta' but he makes good for it with 'Places to Go' while Obie Trice stands out on 'Adrenaline Rush' and makes it obvious why he's been signed to Em's label. I do want to point out that while I don't know why Macy Gray was included on the roster, to answer a question from one reviewer, Boomkat is here because the lead singer Taryn Manning was in the film and as a favor to help boost her career Eminem gave her a track...that's why she's here, although she doesn't quite fit the bill. The best track here is the closing track 'Rabbit Run' where Eminem freestyles a track with no hook, just straight in you face 'look at me now' type lyrics that grab the listener and let them know what this album, what this movie and what Eminem, the man, is all about. Great album and great boost for the unsinkable Eminem!

Eminem - 8 Mile Soundtrack.......2006-04-16

A good soundtrack put together by Eminem. All great songs, except the ones with 50 Cent, :-). Since this has to do with D-12, I'd like to give a R.I.P to Proof, youll always be remembered. If you liked the movie 8 Mile, then I know for sure that youll like this sound track. Songs by Eminem, 50 Cent, Obie Trice, Gang Starr, Nas, D-12 etc. You cant go wrong with it. There is a few weak tracks and ill explain which ones those are. But this cd is definately worth 4 stars, just not 5. "Time Of Your Life" and "Wasting My Time" shouldnt have been on there, because they do not go along with the soundtrack AT ALL, but all good. Check this joint out!!

My Top 5 Songs
1.8 Mile
2.Rap Game (R.I.P Proof!)
3.You Wanna Be Me
4.R.A.K.I.M (Insane beat)

Eminem's four studio albums shattered so many sales records that you might think just about every man, woman and gerbil on the planet already owns a bulk of the songs that make up this greatest hits collection. But Curtain Call presents the perfect opportunity to have another look at the life of Marshall Mathers. Starting out in the vein of the Beastie Boys and Slick Rick, he grafted filthy verses over bubbly nursery rhyme melodies and primitive Casio beats to come up with comical singles like "My Name Is" and "Real Slim Shady." Then angst and reflection set in, resulting in rare moments of vulnerability ("Lose Yourself") and a richer musical experience ("Stan"). One of the new tracks, "When I'm Gone," is a bittersweet goodbye letter, signaling the raw emotion and youthful enthusiasm of his early days have substantially faded. --Aidin Vaziri

Album Description

Curtain Call includes two new songs--"Shake That" (featuring Nate Dogg) and "When I'm Gone"--both written and produced by Eminem. In addition, the Curtain Call bonus track marks the album premiere of the controversial Eminem-Elton John live duet of "Stan" from the 2001 Grammy Awards presentation.

Executive produced by the nine-time Grammy winner, Curtain Call boasts all five of Eminem's gold and platinum singles to date, from the platinum, Oscar, and two-time Grammy-winning "Lose Yourself" (#1 Pop/#2 Rap) from the 8 Mile soundtrack and platinum "Just Lose It" (#6 Pop/#7 Rap) and "Mockingbird" (#11 Pop/#10 Rap) to the gold "Without Me" (#2 Pop/#5 Rap) and "Like Toy Soldiers" (Top 40 Pop). The other Grammy winners included are "My Name Is" (Top 40 Pop/#10 Rap) and "The Real Slim Shady" (#4 Pop/#7 Rap). Also heard are "The Way I Am" (Top 30 Rap), "Stan" (featuring Dido) (Top 40 R&B/Hip-Hop), "Sing for the Moment" (Top 20 Pop/Rap), "Guilty Conscience" (featuring Dr. Dre), and "Cleanin' Out My Closet" (#4 Pop/#5 Rap).

Curtain Call: The Hits spans contributions from all four of Eminem's major-label solo albums: 1999's quadruple-platinum The Slim Shady LP, 2000's nine-times-platinum The Marshall Mathers LP, 2002's eight-times-platinum The Eminem Show, and 2004's Encore, which is almost five times platinum. The three most recent charted #1 Pop and #1 R&B/Hip-Hop, with his major-label debut #2 Pop and #1 R&B/Hip-Hop. Each of his first three albums also won the Best Rap Album Grammy (Encore will be eligible for the 2006 presentation). Eminem has to date sold more than 65 million albums.

My 9 month old boogies to Eminem.......2006-09-06

I was very excited to see a clean copy of Eminem for my little 9 month old son. Being a little man, he does have a lot of rhythm and really enjoys the music. Notably, "Shake That." He can shake it...

"Curtain Call" is excellent!.......2005-12-31

"Curtain Call" is excellent! An excellent finale of hits for Eminem!

Any lingering doubts as to the depth of Eminem's skills or his potential for raw yet compelling honesty are dispelled on The Eminem Show's first track. Armed with a quicksilver flow and a thundering rhythm track (the record was exec produced by longtime mentor and partner Dr. Dre), "White America" finds Eminem ferociously mauling the hand that feeds him, lambasting his critics, the industry, and the racism that, in many ways, helped make Marshall Mathers more than just another rapper. "Let's do the math," Em sneers, "If I was black I would have sold half/ I could be one of your kids/ Little Eric looks just like this." After the bombast of The Marshall Mathers LP and Eminem's well-noted use of sexual epithets, this kind of material is made more controversial because it actually rings true. From a brutal retort to his long-estranged and equally troubled mother ("Cleaning Out My Closets") to a surprisingly tender ode to his child ("Hailie's Song"), Eminem examines his life, loves, arrests, addictions, failures, and successes with surprising insight, making this a funk-drenched hip-hop confessional well worth the hype.

Note: This limited-edition version includes a DVD that features concert and interview footage. --Amy Linden

Call me crazy..........2007-07-18

but this just might be my favorite eminem album! It took me a while to really get into this one,but now that i have, i love this cd!

It seems to be his most mature and personal cd to date. The bonus dvd that comes with it is awesome too. It has live footage and an episode from the slim shady show,which is hilarious by the way.

This cd is still pissed off kind of like the marshall mathers lp,but this one is a little mature and personal. This is in response to all the bad publicity and bad responses to his first 2 major label cds,espicially the marshall mathers lp.I can honestly say that i actually like about every track on this cd,just like the slim shady lp. On the marshall mathers lp i liked them all except for 2,one of the 2 b/c snoop dog was on it and i can stand him. Eminem takes his anger out on kinds of issues and topics on here,you really just have to spin over and over to get a lot of it.

My favorite tracks would have to be,White America,Business,Soldier,Say Goodbye To Hollywood,Drips,Without Me,Sing Foe Tha Moment,Superman,When The Music Stops and 'Till I Collapse! Even though all the tracks are good and well written and well produced. Like i said earlier, it took me a few years to really get into this one, b/c at first i liked his 3 better,but now this one is probably my favorite one now!
If you like Eminem at all, get into this one, this one rules!

Awesome.......2005-02-14

The Eminem Show CD is Awesome. I love all the songs on this CD. I would like to say that Eminem is the bomb, and all of his songs should be #1 cuz he is the best there ever is.

I love you EMINEM.

Solid Album- There are some ignorant reviewrs.......2004-08-12

Some of the reviews of this album are pathetic. It is a great solid album with chart toping songs and it gives you an in depth view in the life of Marshal Mathers. But it bothers me when a person who obviously knows nothing of music, writes a bogus review. I realy found it intresting where one review says, " songs like soldier, and the kiss have nothing to do with eminem." If maybe the reviewer knew anything about the artist before even writting the review, he would have known that eminem's X-Wife Kim cheated on him witch obviously relates to the song. And the song soldier was a way for him to spill out his frustration on lawyers, judges, and IGNORANT PEOPLE.
Overall the album was solid, though it seemed to be to comercail for eminem. The Marshal Mathers LP was a higher time for eminem with more feeling and thought was put into the album.The Eminem show is a great album to own.

the eminem what?.......2004-05-12

Frankly i have no idea what's gotten into me. Yes, no doubt about the fact that I like eminem and his music. But this album, lets just say,if you are a hip-hop music fan, you'll enjoy this one. If you are not, stay clear of this cd and everything will be fine. First single "White America" is a major pain(the fact that he screams in the song) but its not the best. Actually, this is my first time listening to an album by eminem so,Lets put it in simpler words: this album is ok but not the best one he put up so far. If you ask me, black rappers'
music is better.Eminem can't rap, he sounds like a wannabe rapper,exaggerating this cd with tons of swear words. Basically I do not understand the songs square dance, soldier,drips and the kiss. Relates nothing about him.The rest of the songs are ok eg:business, claening out my closet, say goodbye to hollywood,superman, hailie's song blah blah blah. I think eminem can come up with something better.All's not lost though, some songs are bubblin.But the others should rest in a time capsule. Not bad. But im not recommending it.

best album everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!.......2004-04-09

its class. its by far the best eminem album he made the 2nd best is marshall matters lp,slim shady lp,infinte and then 8 mile sound track.on the 8 mile sound track the only good song is loose yourself.i am the greatist eminem fan ever.......50 cent is no good!

Among the seven tracks are two from The Slim Shady LP: the #5 Rap "Just Don't Give a F***" and the Dr. Dre & Mel Man-produced "Role Model." From The Marshall Mathers LP are "Criminal" and the Dr. Dre & Mel Man-produced "Kill You." The mixtape also includes two tracks previously unavailable on any Eminem album--the "Dead Wrong RMX" (featuring the Notorious B.I.G.), notably co-produced by P. Diddy; and "Renegade" (featuring Jay-Z), a legendary duet from Jay-Z's classic The Blueprint album. Also included on the bonus CD is "Sh*t on You" (featuring D12), which until now has never been released on CD.

The first disc of Curtain Call includes three new songs--"Fack," "Shake That" (featuring Nate Dogg) and "When I'm Gone"--both written and produced by Eminem. In addition, the Curtain Call bonus track marks the album premiere of the controversial Eminem-Elton John live duet of "Stan" from the 2001 Grammy Awards presentation.

Executive produced by the nine-time Grammy winner, Curtain Call boasts all five of Eminem's gold and platinum singles to date, from the platinum, Oscar, and two-time Grammy-winning "Lose Yourself" (#1 Pop/#2 Rap) from the 8 Mile soundtrack and platinum "Just Lose It" (#6 Pop/#7 Rap) and "Mockingbird" (#11 Pop/#10 Rap) to the gold "Without Me" (#2 Pop/#5 Rap) and "Like Toy Soldiers" (Top 40 Pop).

A MUST HAVE for every Eminem fan.......2006-11-20

I first heard Eminem's music in a Toronto dance club. (The Real Slim Shady) My dad has the album but wouldn't let me listen to it. A couple years later I bought this album and I loved it. It has all the major songs: The Real Slim Shady, The Way I am, My Name Is, Lose Yourself, Without Me, Sing For the Moment and many many more here is a list:

Intro: Who cares?

FACK: 8/10: How the FACK can you say that this song sucks? Ha ha... It's so facking hilarious!

The Way I Am: 7/10: Good single but could have been replaced with higher chart toppers.

My Name Is: 9/10. An execellent debut single. Disgusting but funny, and creative at the same time.

Stan: 10/10: In my opinion, one of Em's greatest. It's a mysterious song and Dido provides a great chorus.

Lose Yourself: 10/10: Another one of Eminem's greatest. Very inspiring.

Shake That: 6/10: It's alright... Good beat but it give me a headache for some reason...

Sing For The Moment: 9.5/10: A very powerful song. Great Lyrics.

Without Me: 8.5/10: the Eminem Show opening single. Funny song but not as good as My Name Is or The Real Slim Shady.

Like Toy Soilders: 8/10: There is a lot of meaning in this song.

The Real Slim Shady: 10/10: This is where Eminem began for me. Possibly one of my favorite songs.

Mockingbird: 7/10: Bueatiful Song but not as good as Hailie's Song from the Eminem Show. (It wasn't a hit however.)

Guilty Conscience: 9/10: An Eminem oringinal. Very Funny.

Cleanin Out my Closet: 8/10: Eminem expresses his hatred towards his mother is a... WELL mannered way...

Just Lose It: 1/5: Just lose this song, I tell you!

When I'm Gone: 7/10: Okay, but I don't really like Eminem using his heavier rapping voice as much as his 1999-2002 accent.

Stan (live):4/10: Elton John ruins a hip hop classic!

If you love Eminem, you'll love this. Okay, so it's missing some of his other singles.(I don't have the 2 disc edition) I do wish they DID put on some of his other good singles such as Superman, Just Don't Give a F**k, Mosh, Forgot About Dre(too bad it's under Dr. Dre's name...) and a couple others. If you want to get all of them then buy his 4 previous albums and the 8 mile sountrack(although it's a waste of money in case you dislike a lot of the songs). You could also buy the Notorious B.I.G.s song off itunes same with Jay Z's Renegrede, and Dr. Dre's Forgot about Dre of get the 2001 album cause Em stars on that numerous times as well. But like I said, all his major stuff is here. I hope you enjoy it like I did.

Em's Hits.......2006-09-16

As people should know, a greatest hits collection is supposed to be all the songs that became singles, and not just peoples favourites. They have managed to include all the hits from Em's solo albums which is great. Then the bonus mixtape had some great songs that I hadn't heard before. It's such a pity that Em is retiring because his done such a lot of good for hip hop. In fact Em is not only by far the best white rapper ever, but he is one of the best if not the best rapper out there today. This CD shows you what he was all about. There are those comedic songs like Just Lose It and The Real Slim Shady which are great but nothing beats Em's emotional tracks. Such as Mockingbird, Like Toy Soldiers, Lose Yourself and When I'm Gone.

If you have just got into Eminem than his greatest hits would be a great place to start. Of course these are not his only good songs, his solo albums are full of goodness.

It would have been a 5 if "Fack" wasnt on it.......2006-03-05

Okay, i love most of the songs on it and I love em, but Fack just is terrible, it's the worst song I've ever heard before. I recommend just buying all 4 of his CDs (Contain most of these songs), downloading "When I'm Gone", buying The Blueprint (Which has an ill song from Curtain Call, "Renagade", and is just a great album).

Great over all cd.......2006-02-22

All The Songs on The Entire CD is Great and Stan's Mixtape is Great I have no Complaints about the cd I had purchased this month.

Should Have Been 2 Full Discs.......2006-02-09

A lot of my Slim Shady favorites are missing here, but it's still a good buy for those new to Eminem who dont wanna hunt for all these albums. Nas said it best, "Eminem murdered you own your own sh**" (about Renegade, which was on Jay-Z's album), which just goes to show how great of a rapper Eminem is.

His first 3 albums were all perfect, but if you dont wanna buy all of those definitely get this release.
