    Obviously one of the best hip hop albums of all time, and will stay that way for at least another half a century. Rapping skills, storytelling, the beats, all perfect.

What is there to say it’s the Marshall Mather lp one of Eminem’s best albums.This album follows a crazy thristy em who is out for everyone you are not safe from em on this album he disses everyone from Debbie Mathers he’s own mother, he’s wife Kim in a song about tying her up and putting her in the trunk,Christina Aguilera,Christopher Reeves,will Smith and Britany Spears.Let’s just say this album has no shortage of disses there’s always something to keep you interested from his lyrical capability to the dissing.This album also has what I consider to be Eminem’s best song Stan. Which follows a obsessed fan named Stan who is a Eminem super fan who claims to be he’s biggest fan.In this narrative driven song Stan sends Eminem letters but he doesn’t get around to replying to them after Eminem ignores Stan.Stan becomes annoyed and pissed off with em saying that it’s missed up he doesn’t answer fans also talks about he’s brother Matthew who he says likes him more then he does and how em ignored him.Stan later ties he’s own wife up who is pregnant and puts her in the trunk then drives her off a bride while recording a message to em.Then the end of the song follows Eminem writing back to Stan where he says that Stan needs to treat he’s wife better… Expand

    Here a rap revolution happened, Eminem in 2000 simply released what would be the best rap album of all time, a crazy psychopath of the lyrical, a rhymer of the highest level, and with an undeniable talent of building a story in a song, he knew how to diversify the tone of the vocals with mastery accompanied by one of the best production works by Dr Dre, an album with 18 good tracks, withHere a rap revolution happened, Eminem in 2000 simply released what would be the best rap album of all time, a crazy psychopath of the lyrical, a rhymer of the highest level, and with an undeniable talent of building a story in a song, he knew how to diversify the tone of the vocals with mastery accompanied by one of the best production works by Dr Dre, an album with 18 good tracks, with at least 10 some of the best songs of Eminem's career, an untouchable and almost sublime album.… Expand

    This is Marshall at his peak! Every song on this Album is a masterpiece, from Kill You to Criminal. Stan was an incredibly influential song that literally invented a word. The Way I Am is the hardest Em song ever. The Real Slim Shady was a banger. You really can't go wrong with this Album.

    A brilliant rap album! A second Eminem's job that is the best in my opinion. There are 18 tracks, 3 of each are skits and another one, which is first one is intro. It's the real rap classic with an excelent sound and a splendid, unforgettable atmosphere and, of course, an awesome Eminem himself. Must-listen!

    The Marshall Mathers LP is a classic, up there with Dre's dope-beat 'Chronic'. Em delves into his soul and comes out with raw emotion and pure feelings. The production is amazing and the lyrics flow like xxx poetry. M-M explores different zones musically and emotionally.....hot.

This album did had songs that did attract controversy, songs including "Criminal," "Amityville," "Remember Me?," and "Under the Influence." Some songs also tells life stories, including "The Way I Am" and "Stan," which is probably his best song on the album. Overall, this album amazing lyrically.

    Another thing I would like to point out is the beats on this album. Some of the beats on this album was not produced by Eminem himself. In fact, the beat for the song "Kill You" was claimed to be stolen. The beats have a lot of have a lot of bass, and sounds somewhat like the g-funk music styles. Overall, I'm not a huge fan of the beats, and I find the beats generally mediocre to average.

    Eminem's Marshall Mathers LP appeals to various types of audiences. I believe that this album appeals to fans of the genres rock, rap, and horrorcore because this album has all three of those elements in this albums. This album might also appeal to some who had struggled with their life, just like how Eminem struggled with his family and life in general. If you're not a huge fan of overuse of strong language (to me there's nothing wrong with that), or over-the-top violence, you might not be a huge fan of this album. Overall, this album appeals to a large and good amount of people especially for hip-hop fans.

    Overall, I liked Eminem's Marshall Mathers LP, and it is my favorite from Eminem's work. This album was very impressive lyrically, especially when I first listened to the album. I did find the beats to be mediocre, but overall it was okay. The album also has a large appeal, though it might not appeal to some, and the tracks are very well laid out. While it's not perfect, it's still a very good album, and is probably Eminem at its best.    … Expand

    This album is the best Eminem album, absolutely genius, the rhymes and the punchlines are complicated. All of the disses, all of the anger, of this album is a car-crash record: loud, wild, dangerous, out of control, grotesque, unsettling. That's the real Slim Shady.

    This album was exceptional for its year. It had the perfect blend of seriousness, jokes and dark humor. Eminem displays all of these using great wordplay, stellar lyricism and amazing flow, which he himself claims he wanted to improve. Although certain songs' production was a bit weak, the album is a masterpiece overall and a hip hop classic.

Criticizing the crude nature of his writing makes sense, but believing he was trying to get his young audience to commit violent acts? Not so much. It was interesting to hear Em address that.

    While I can't call myself a fan of the album, I do respect it's pop-culture significance. So I think it's worth revisiting as a history lesson on one of the biggest names in rap.

    This album was quite underwhelming compared to The Slim Shady LP, and this album has a lot of songs taking himself too seriously and trying too hard be too edgy, it has some high highlights, such as the very catchy and humourous classic "The Real Slim Shady" which also has an enjoyable beat. More highlights include the lyrically sound songs "Stan" and "Criminal".

    Rap-technically he made one of his best albums here. On the other way round, I can't stand his kind of humor. Songs like 'Kim' or the Ken Kaniff skit are just atrocious to hear. But if I cut away these few songs, there stays a diversified, lyrically awesome rap LP that does not only shock, but also has very clever lines, which you may not discover until hearing the album a couple of times.Rap-technically he made one of his best albums here.

    I think that the fact this album is only rated 78 is an insult. This is easily Eminem's most raw and honest work ever.

    The collaborative efforts of tracks like "Bitch Please II" and "Under the Influence" make Eminem seem like an ornamental prop in Dr. Dre's ever-growing hip-hop dynasty.

    The problem is, as the album drags on, young Master Mathers wastes his considerable wit and opts to grouse in the guise of a rampaging reactionary. Song after song finds Eminem viciously baiting real and imagined enemies, as if that's all he knows how to do.

    It just isn't as much fun this time around, no matter how fresh Dre's beats are or how many worthy targets get shot down along with the innocent.
