The Marshal Mathers LP

Here is my review:

This is perhaps the most aggressive & controversial album by Eminem. The background of the album takes a serious tone with suppressed frustrations and anger being thrashed out.

Controversy surrounds due to the violent and homophobic lyrics displayed throughout the album.

The whole album talks about the problems with his marriage, life & success. The song The Way I Am attacks those who criticized his debut album and the fans that harassed him. Even with the harsh tone, Eminem also displays his creative lyrical ability to write stories on the song "Stan".

"Kim" is probably the most violent & gory song by an artist. It talks about his hatred of his wife and how he murdered her in the end for her infidelity as he delivered the song by shouting.

However, even with the controversies... It is considered as Eminem's best record and one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time.

Rating: 5/5 stars
