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 BerryAlbum Description

Shock value...........2007-07-09
Solid Sophmore Set.......2007-06-26
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
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' !!

EMINEM INFINITE (1996)
Eminem ProductGroup: Music Binding: Audio CD Similar Items:
ASIN: B000N0SYZU |
Product Description
Infinite represents Eminem the way he was in his younger years: a young man in search of true love as the song « Searchin» fully reveals it. A young man facing a lot of financial problems and trying to feed his family. When you have been yourself through similar difficulties, you will be able to relate to songs like « Its ok ». 313 gives us the taste of a « sweet emcee from the 313 ». « Maxine » also belongs to the well written songs of the album. Marshalls sincerity all over Infinite is so touching. But it seems that it wasnt enough. Despite the huge efforts, he had put into his album, people reproached him to sound like Nas. The public wanted something else, something biting that Eminem gave them with the Slim Shady EP and the Slim Shady LP. Although people wont unanimously agree on Infinite, Id advice any true Eminem fan to check the album if he hasnt done it yet- at least for the great lyrics written by Marshall Mathers.Customer Reviews:
Realy good lyrics........2007-06-01
The Essence of Hip-Hop - - D-E-S-E-R-V-E-S E-V-E-R-Y S-T-A-R.......2007-03-28
That said, the overall vibe of this album has an undeniable old school quality to it, even though it was released in '96. The beats are infectious and sound fresh even to this day, and eminem actually had something to say. He was hungry, relied on clever wordplay and worthwhile stories that not only reflected his life at the time, but also portrayed every day happenings that he had probably grown accustomed to seeing.
"Maxine" is about how a prostitute will lie & leave you with disease if you're dumb enough to believe she's clean. Some nice production here.
"Never 2 Far" portrays eminems ambitions to make money in the rap industry. The difference between him and other rappers is that he comes correct with clever wordplay and flow, and each verse eases nicely into the chorus, to the point where you don't even realize his technique of merging the two.
"Searchin" continues this idea except this time he's pouring out emotions as well as his lust for a lost love. Again undeniably sick wordplay and flow, with a guest appearance from a friend.
"Infinite", perhaps the strongest track on the album is also one of the sickest instances of pure lyrical destruction that i've ever heard. Not a lyric is wasted throughout, and every line effortlessly connects to the next. ("My rhymin' skills got you climbin' hills, i travel through your mind into your spine like siren drills."). This is hip-hop that actually requires thinking to understand everything he's saying, and when you do it's a real eye opener.
"Open Mic" flosses a sick beat and funny intro, and eminem rips the beat to sh*t. It's a toss up between this and "Infinite" for best track on the album. ("You couldn't flip shit playin' in toilets with a spatula.")
"It's Ok" must be heard to believe. His style is so natural you'd think he was somehow cheating. Again the wordplay is unmatched by today's "standards" of what a hip-hop song should entail.
A inevitable gripe with this album that most heads will notice is Eminems questionable approach to riding the beat. At times he certainly seems off if you listen closely, yet he also seems right on because of the way he flows in and out of the chorus, with an uncanny ear for the smallest nuances of the beat.
Bottom line: it's shocking that few people have heard this album. This was undoubtedly a different side of Eminem, when few people knew about him and his rage hadn't come out yet. If you're a hip-hop head you will probably appreciate this album for what it is, Beats, Rhymes and Storytelling ability.
The rhymes absolutely blow my mind on this album........2007-02-26

A CD without words..........2007-01-04
simply amazing.......2005-12-15
Eminem's Best Album.......2005-10-05
Song reviews:
1. Public Service Announcement 2000 - It's a skit.
2. Kill You - Funny, but the raps in the middle are not quite as catchy as many of the other songs on the album. The hook is great. If you don't agree with me, I "will f!%#ing kill you!" (Rating: 8.5/10)
3. Stan - It can drag on slightly, but the story is great. I think its one of the most creative and well written songs that Em has ever done. (Rating: 9/10)
4. Paul (Skit) - Another skit.
5. Who Knew - The lyrics are very creative, and the first verse is especially cathcy. (Rating: 9.5/10)
6. Steve Berman (Skit) - Another skit, showcasing the fact that Steve Berman is a dumb@$$ who does not want to make money.
7. The Way I Am - It can get a little tiring, but the rant against everybody is a solid song. Not as good as some of the others though. (Rating 8/10)
8. The Real Slim Shady - This is one of the weaker songs on the album. The lyrics are not as offensive as the rest of the album, which makes me not like it as much. Lol (it's true though). (Rating: 6/10)
9. Remember Me? - The first two verses are crap, but Em's verse is very good. Hmm... maybe I should try not saying "f!#%ing" for six minutes... NAH! (Rating: 6/10)
10. I'm Back - Great SONG!! I love it. It's catchy and the lyrics are great. I especially love the Columbine part, although part of it is censored!! [The censored part is: "I take seven kids from Columbine, stand 'em all in line") Well, I will take seven kids from Columbine and bash their freakin' heads out! Censor that, Interscope! (Rating: 10/10)
11. Marshall Mathers - Apparently Em doesn't like homosexuals. Kind of a sucky song.. but he does like to kill gays. (Rating: 4/10)
12. Ken Kaniff (Skit) - This is the most F'ed up song (skit actually) that I've ever heard. Unless you like gay porn... you should skip it. (Rating: -895/10)
13. Drug Ballad - Another mediocre song, I don't like the dance song beat. (Rating: 5/10)
14. Amityville - I like the angry murder fantasies, but the song's sound can be abrasive at times. (Rating: 7/10)
15. B!#@h Please II - Great beat. Great raps, although the end of Em's falls a bit flat. Overall, a very good song with a very cathcy hook. (Rating: 9.5/10)
16. Kim - The hook is good, but the so-called verses suck. Yeah, I'd like to violently murder some people too, but I'd make a better rap about it. The violence is cool though. P.S.: Interscope needs the stop censoring stuff.. so what if a six-year-old got his throat cut. (Rating: 4/10)
17. Under the Influence: A very good song, everyone's raps are good. (Rating: 10/10)
18. Criminal: The last verse of this song is the best part of any Eminem song ever. I dare you to listen to this song without rewinding that part like six times. (Rating: 10/10)
GREAT ALBUM!
THIS IS WHAT THIS WOULD LOOK LIKE ON THE EDITED VERSION
"The Marshall Mathers LP" is undoubtably Eminem's best effort. While "The Slim Shady LP" and "The Eminem Show" are great albums, they cannot match up to the dark humor and catchy songs of "The Marshall Mathers LP." I sincerely believe that there is not one bad song on the album. "The Marshall Mathers LP" is not, however, for the faint of heart, as every song contains multiple F-bombs, **** references, *** violence, etc. For those that can handle that, it only adds to the greatness of the album, because it offers a startling glimpse inside the artist's head that you don't get with all the other tired "gangsta rap" crap that is out there.
Song reviews:
1. Public Service Announcement 2000 - It's a skit.
2. **** You - Funny, but the raps in the middle are not quite as catchy as many of the other songs on the album. The hook is great. If you don't agree with me, I "will f!%#ing **** you!" (Rating: 8.5/10)
3. Stan - It can drag on slightly, but the story is great. I think its one of the most creative and well written songs that Em has ever done. (Rating: 9/10)
4. Paul (Skit) - Another skit.
5. Who Knew - The lyrics are very creative, and the first verse is especially cathcy. (Rating: 9.5/10)

Life For Rent
Manufacturer: Arista Records ProductGroup: Music Binding: Audio CD ASIN: B0007QR88Y |
Product Description
Personnel includes: Dido (vocals, programming); Adam Zimmon, Paul Herman (acoustic guitar); Rick Knowles (guitar, keyboards); Rusty Anderson, Dave Randall (guitar); Sister Bliss (piano, keyboards, programming); Mark Bates (harmonium, keyboards, percussion, programming); Aubrey Nunn (bass); Andy Treacy, Mako Sakamoto (drums); Carlos Paucar (percussion); P*Nut, Steve Sidelynk (programming); Pauline Taylor (background vocals). "White Flag" was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Imagine Beth Orton with a bit more of a pop lilt, and you'll have a good idea of the general approach on LIFE FOR RENT, UK pop siren Dido Armstrong's long-awaited follow-up to her 1999 debut album. Dido's light, feathery voice and simple, purposefully delivered melodies sit atop a mixture of Jewel-like folk-pop and more contemporary, electronics-laden production a la her former group Faithless. Like Orton, Dido injects a touch of highly accessible trip-hop into her sound, as on the moody, clever "See You When You're 40," with its loping, funky groove, or "Who Makes You Feel," with its evocative, atmospheric samples. The mood throughout is a soft, girlish one, as Dido weaves gentle portraits of a woman going through the whole emotional spectrum, with the lightness offset by smarter-than-your-average-pop-star lyrics and small surprises in the arrangements

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.
