Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0606949028725 Format: Enhanced, Explicit Lyrics Label: Interscope Records Manufacturer: Interscope Records MPN: 90287 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Interscope Records Release Date: February 23, 1999 Studio: Interscope Records Editorial Review: Amazon.com: On The Slim Shady LP, Eminem wants it all. He's conflicted, you see; the world has treated him badly, and he wants to respond in kind. But he isn't a straight-up gangsta--this is, after all, the first release on Dr. Dre's Aftermath Records, his post-Death Row-era venture--and Eminem (born Marshall Mathers) doesn't really want anyone to follow in his footsteps, which leads to some interesting contradictions on this album. In the first single, "My Name Is," he's self-deprecating, rapping about his poor upbringing and his hairy palms. But on the very next song, "Guilty Conscience," he plays the devil to Dr. Dre's angel--that is, until Eminem brings up an incident from Dre's devilish past, rapping, "You gonna take advice from someone who slapped Dee Barnes?" Later, on "'97 Bonnie & Clyde," he turns Will Smith's "Just the Two of Us" on its ear, making it a tale of murder; but on "My Fault," he actually feels bad--though whether it's for the girl he overdosed or for himself is tough to figure out. With his nasal Midwestern tone, Mathers has a clean, clear flow, and the production--by Dr. Dre, Marky, and Jeff Bass--is crisp but consistently fun. With his outlook, it's tough to take Eminem too seriously, but he's made an album you don't have to take seriously to enjoy. --Randy Silver Album Description: Asian version featuring a bonus Audio/Video CD, with 3 videos and 5 additional audio tracks.

 Rating:  - classicOne of the better rap albums of all time, I got this cd when it came out over 10 years ago and it still hasnt gotten old Rating:  - PatheticMore stupid rap with a rapper using pouty lips trying to act black. The music sucks. Rating: - First Album, Major HysteriaThe album that drove not just his ex wife, but the entire media off the cliff. And what a great start it turned out to be! Until 2003, Eminem could not be stopped and this album paved the way. Compared to some of the beats later on, this album isn't as bangable now as others. When you play it, it really doesn't hold up to other old classics, but it still is one of the greatest rap albums in my opinion. I would rate this 4 and a half stars if I could only because of the fact that you ... Read More Rating: - Shady's not shabbyA great debut CD from Eminem. Obviously not for little kids; very adult content. Put aside the issue of profanity and accept the fact that Em ain't actually gonna do the stuff he raps about, he's just putting his feelings out on paper. Then you'll appreciate his stuff. Em is definitely a creative writer, and his flow when rapping is excellent. He puts down and communicates his feelings about life when he was a "down and outer" and nobody gave a rip about him. Good raps: Read More Rating: - not slim shady lpthis says it is slim shady lp but it is really marshall mathers lp anyone else notice that? |
