    This is Eminem at his best. He introduces rhyme schemes and pasterns that are new to the game and changes the face of hip hop forever.

    The Marshall Mathers LP is Eminem's Magnum Opus. It still captures his Slim Shady persona from the previous album, but this time he is at his lyrical peak. Throughout the album he addresses his rise to fame and the controversy that came with it, but he also goes back to his Shady antics and raps about drugs and killing women (including his wife).

    This Album is Like The Best Album I've Ever Heard In Hip-Hop History. This Album Is A True Classic. The Marshall Mathers LP Is A Masterpiece. The Lyrics Is Juicy, The Beats Are old School, The Tracks Are Fun, And Interesting To Listen Too. I Give This Album A 5.5 Mic Rating. Eminem's Style, Composition, Lyrics, Are Unbeatable. Stan And Kill You Are The Best Tracks On The Album.

    This is his most complete, raw, and best project overall. Classic. Matter of fact he has four classics: SSLP, MMLP, TES, and Relapse. Yes MFker Relapse.

    There is not one single bad song on this album. It's hard too pick and choose but the best tracks on the album in my opinion would be Stan, The Way I Am, and Kim

    This is one of the greatest album's ever created. The **** he was rapping about was new and unique in that time and it had a big influence in rap, so it's a 10/10 no cap

    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.
