    This album is the best of his so far and it makes rappers like P. Diddy, Ice-cube and Dr. Dre look like Brittney spears wanna be's! The lyrics consumed in his songs assure him to be one of the best rapper/ singer/ song writter. Ronnie RIP....

    Eminem, against most people, is the smartest man i've heard of in a long time. People don't see this because they never even take the time to listen to what this man is saying. I used to hate him,me i actually listened to his raps, i realized, this man has the sense to go somewhere. Eminem has a sense of humor, just because he says things that might be offensive to some Eminem, against most people, is the smartest man i've heard of in a long time.

Eminem has a sense of humor, just because he says things that might be offensive to some preppy-ass somewhere, doesn't mean he is some dumb-ass high-shool drop out from Detroit. Eminem is the best artist today, and whoever thinks differently, HOLLA!… Expand

    this is one amazing pacage ov all that a raw hip hop album needs.Hard as nails production, memorable hooks (mostly), lyrics that are more than just lyrics, but writing with soul that feels like they are coming froming the mind of a human and frequently jabs your with cutting comedy however black. Eminem raps with divine structure, flow and joyfully unruley rythm rhyiming patern and this is one amazing pacage ov all that a raw hip hop album needs.Hard as nails production, memorable hooks (mostly), lyrics that are more than just lyrics, but writing with soul that feels like they are coming froming the mind of a human and frequently jabs your with cutting comedy however black. Eminem raps with divine structure, flow and joyfully unruley rythm rhyiming patern and flomboint rhymes themselves. it is interesting because ems raps are never to repetitive and are always bring something new. The album has a satisfying blackness and down and dirty urban feel. It hits hard with great tracks like the way i am, Im back and the raw amittyvile. This will not fail to pull you in and have hanging on every word and note. utterlly adictive masterpiece… Expand

    One of my favourite ever records .It's a lyrical masterpiece, full of controversy, humour and most importantly truth. He even managed to create a great song with Dido, which is nearly impossible. Genius!

    I love Eminem. He is such an excellent rapper. I like him so much. "Stan" is my second favorite Eminem song next to "Lose Yourself" being my favorite Eminem song. Why is the score 79? It should be in at least the 90s or higher as universal acclaim.

    So awesome! The man is witty and smart and smooth with the insightful lines and stuff. He has got to be the best... Ever! A far better lyricist than Mozart ever could dream of being in German. Hands down best album/ composition of all times. I am a mentally retarded six year old.

    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.
