Well, I have reviewed ’’Slim Shady LP’’ and explained how his first album went, how do I say it, `Pear Shaped’. He then came up with ’’Slim Shady LP’’ and then this amazing album. If he wasn’t already a world megastar then this album made sure he was on the map. The song ’’Stan’’, taken from this album has been given worldwide praise but also, in too many peoples eyes it has put too much pressure on him to write better.
Again he had family problems and also he was landing himself in trouble with the police at the time of writing this album. It turned out to be the fastest selling hip-hop album of all time, far outstripping his mentor, Dr Dre’s albums and his idol Snoop Dogg.

Again, this album explains certain periods in Eminem’s life, he says a lot of bad things about people he does’nt like, and dedicates a song to his wife Kim. Normally when artists dedicate a song to their wives, it is normally a love song but in this song he explains graphically how he wants to kill her. I suppose this is what makes him stand out from the rest.
Marvellous!!
