Revisit The Marshall Mathers LP below.
Yo this album is a classic, but that Kim song tho. Yikes!
20 years? Holy shit where has the time gone smh
Cheer up mate it’s not the end of life. I am glad to be much more grown now. I have knowledge I can apply to my life I couldn’t in the past.
That’s true bro. I’m not even that old, I was pretty young when this came out. I’m definitely a lot wiser than I used to be. I just feel like time is going by quicker than I like. Guess we just gotta make the most of it.
Still remember when this shit leaked. Burned it to a CD-R (lol) and listened to it practically non-stop until the real thing dropped at stores. Em’s best, IMO
sadly this album aged like milk.
That Kim song was one of the things that made The Marshall Mathers LP what it is – classically unique.
This is Em’s best for real. The shit aged great whuch u mean?
Kill You is the greatest 1st track not including the intro ever….. don’t even argue this
I agree its dope. But Whatup Gangsta is a close second.
Classic album. Slim shady lp to 8 mile is the greatest 3 year run by any rapper ever. Everything was fire and unique.
This album is ass. In fact its such ass i wanna sniff it and lick it.
I have a serious question. If rap literally means ‘rhythm and poetry’ and rhythm is only found in black dna, then how can eminem be the best rapper if hes missing half the equation?
… fucking stupid..
2020 trolling is still cool..
But you’re not.
It aint trolling. Many people are starting to ask this question.
Following your own argumentation and criteria (which is bs) I guess every white musician ever got some black dna in them. Makes sense since the original man is from Africa right? Now talk about something else with yo dumbass.
Youve posted this twice now, but your the one whos.wrong dumb ass. White man doesnt descend from Africa, they dont even come.from this planet. So wake the.fuck up and go do some research you butt hurt whiteboy. Gtfo.
Typical white response. Go do some research and youll quickly find we dont all.trace back to africa…lol…what a joke.
@B your mistake you made (twice by the way) is that you assume every white artist whos ever made music has rhythm. None of them do by the way. Theres a big difference between music with/without rhythm. I can tell, the whole world can tell and even you can tell thw difference. Stop crying over facts.
Using your own arguments and criteria (which is complete bs) my answer is that every white musician ever must have black DNA in their bodies which makes sense since the original man was from Africa. Now, gtfo.
Every white person ever must have black dna?? Lol here we go again, are u white people ever gonna stop stealing from blacks?
Bitch Please 2 is so underrated
from scribbles to Plaques, ems pen game is sick for real
I’m black and the thought a white guy being a better rapper than the majority of my own people gives me explosive diarrhea.
Im black and actually don’t care for Eminem . That being said , the comment above did have me actually laughing out loud . Props.
I’d pay good money to hear some unreleased Em material recorded between 2000 and 2004, back when he was cool and not making pop hits for teenage girls who hate their parents.
While the world’s eggin’ him on, I’m beggin’ him to stop it /
Playin’ his old shit, knowin’ he won’t top it
