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

 AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! August 18, 2010
Walter R. Hoesch (Phoenix, Arizona United States)
This is FAR better than his first album! Especially the 16th track, "Kim". That is better than "Bonnie & Clyde". Anyway, I would recommend this CD to anyone.
Amazing August 8, 2010

Lyrical genius, one of the best rap albums of the decade. Eminem at his finest.

 Slightly unfocused and a tad uneven but overall pretty solid... July 26, 2010
Andrew Ellington (I'm kind of everywhere)
Taking a more serious tone, Eminem's sophomore album `The Marshall Mathers LP' has a harder time gaining traction than his debut album did. I know that quite a few of Eminem's fans consider this his best album, but I'm not in that group. It is a solid release, and it does contain some of his best (or at least his most memorable) tracks, but in the end the album comes across uneven and unfocused, and it loses a few points for that.
The album actually opens on a near brilliant front and carries that torch for the entire first half of the album before teetering on unfocused ridiculousness.
The intensity that unleashes itself on the albums opener, `Kill You', is pretty straightforward. One must remember that Eminem is NOT to be taken seriously. If you fail to keep that prospective then you may find yourself a tad nauseous. Still, on tracks like the all-too-real `Kim', Eminem seems to cross a line that isn't easy to come back from. Even a fan of his (like myself) can find it difficult to find tracks with that much realism comfortable. `Kill You' has a very thin line of comic relief to keep it accessible and entertaining. `Kim' loses that humor and replaces it with shocking segments that make it unsettling to say the least. That's kind of what I mean about uneven. Eminem is at his best when he is saying things that are repulsive in content yet humorous in texture. When he forgets to add those layers of humor he steps over into territory that makes the listener uncomfortable. That's why songs like `Who Knew' and `The Real Slim Shady' work so well. Eminem clowning around makes for a fun filled afternoon of lyrical debauchery.
Now, that isn't to say that Eminem cannot tackle weighty issues with admirable results. Remember how well he saddled his debut with tracks like `Rock Bottom'? Songs like `Stan' (arguably one of the best songs Eminem has ever recorded), `Marshall Mathers' and `The Way I Am' are very strong dramatic contenders. These songs are dark, laced with a realistic approach to humanity that elevates Eminem's visionary expression.
At track nine, with `Remember Me', the album starts to falter. `Remember Me' just feels clunky and unfocused. It's not smooth and it isn't really edgy. It feels kind of fake. `Amityville' is very much the same in style and ending result. It just feels like a failed experiment. The guest rappers enlisted really fail to add anything to the tracks, since they pale in comparison to Eminem's abilities. Once he comes on he crushes them.
Thankfully `Please II' features qualified guest artists.
`Drug Ballad' is fun, but it also just feels like `Cum on Everybody' redux. `I'm Back' and `Under the Influence' have their moments (especially `I'm Back') but overall they don't have the `pop' needed to hold up against the albums first half.
The closing track, `Criminal', is just effortless in tone and overall one of the best tracks on the album. It's flawless. It was the best way for the album to close for it almost makes you forget about the misfortune of tracks like `Remember Me'. In the end this album us a solid effort and a nice follow up to `The Slim Shady LP'. Sandwiched between his debut and `The Eminem Show' (which are his two best albums) this one gets put on the backburner sometimes (by me) but listening to it this past week (getting ready for this review) has made me respect it a little more. It has it's flaws (some of them blaringly obvious) but it also contains some of Eminem's richest rhymes and some of his more daring experiments (as much as I kind of loathe `Kim', it was a very big risk and in a way it paid off).
EMINEM'S BEST ALBUM July 26, 2010
giuseppa spinali
In my opinion i think this is eminem's best album,but i still love the slim shady LP.This is his best album because it's a more personal album and songs like kill you,stan and kim really stick out,and its way more raw then any other album he's ever done,next to slim shady EP which is a demo that came out before the LP.i just can feel his pain every single song i hear on this cd and its amazing!and i like how he pushes the limit with some of the stuff he talks about,and he uses his freedom of speech to the fullest to get his message across.If thats what he needs to do for people to listen to him and buy his album then so be it.this album gets the credit it deserves and i know its alittle late but iv always been a em fan and i lost my copy of this so i couldnt help myself but buy this album again!
