    This has got to B the best album ever made by Slim Shady! I've listened to every song every rhyme and every comment made on these works of art and i gotta say........ GIVE IT UP FOR EMINEM! without a doubt Shady has set the standard for rappers across the globe......... a side from 50 CENT of course.

    Clearly, the rap album of the year, if not the album of the year. Its a masterpiece from track 1 to 20. The production is great. His rhyming patterns are unmatchable. In my view, he is the greatest lyricist of all time

    A fantastic album, almost flawless lyrically - his rhyming and flow are at his peak on here. This is a more mature Eminem though we still see the dark side of him in tracks like Cleaning Out My Closet and Slim Shady type tracks like Without Me. Overall a solid album, possibly his best.

    Eminem is the only rapper with three classic(SSLP, MMLP, TES), He is also the only rapper with two diamond certified albums(Diamonds are forever). Its so amazing how a white boy can dominate a predominant black art form. To me, Eminem is better than tupac, B.I.G or whoever you think. He made the art popular and accepted and rap music owe him for that.

    Slim Shady LP introduced the world to Eminem, a crude, white maniac with exceptional rhyming skills. Marshall Mathers LP gave the world Em's personal side while mixed with comic and satirical content. The Eminem Show is the retrospect of his career. After selling millions and millions of records, everyone wondered whether Eminem Show lived up to expectations. Yes it did.

    The Eminem Show is a fantastic album, containing very interesting and entertaining songs, a great example of this is White America.

Other great tracks on this CD include Cleaning Out My Closet, where he discuses his rocky relationship with his mother, Debbie Mathers. Sing For The Moment, a song where he talks about how literal his music really is and how he has a responsibility being an entertainer. When the Music Stops, he brings D12 back in again for a visit. This time they discuss how music has influenced every member in the group in this 4:28 epic track. 'Till I Collapse is an incredibly fast-paced and well executed track by Eminem & Nate Dogg. To be perfectly honest, I could talk about how great each song is.

    In my opinion, Eminem's best album. The lyricism is up to par where his fans expected it to be, the wordplay is as fresh as it ever was and the beats are the only thing that makes it beat his previous album, The Marshall Mathers LP. The beats consisted of some of the best rock-rap vibes I've ever heard, and overall the production is stellar. His last classic, in my opinion.

    One of the greatest rap albums of all time and definitely my favourite from Eminem. The combination of Em's biblical flow and these legendary beats make for an absolute masterpiece packed full of classics.

    The Eminem Show displays Eminem’s complete rapping ability, his flow, his lyrics and delivery are at an all-time best. This is a sound of a man who is at the pinnacle of his career. His flow and rhyme schemes sound so effortless, yet established.

This is a sound of a man who is at the pinnacle of his career. His flow and rhyme schemes sound so effortless, yet established. Where The Marshall Mathers LP sounded like a primal howl of rage, The Eminem Show showcases an artist trying to make sense out of the chaos and turmoil in his personal and professional life. Eminem, for the first time comes out not as his alter ego Slim Shady, or his artistic persona but as his true, more mature self. A combination of a wicked, hungry version of the Slim Shady LP to the liberating fearlessness in taking hip-hop left turns and acting the fool while high on the chronic in The Marshall Mathers LP. Eminem has never relied on features too much, and he never had to, his bigger than world persona was always enough. The album features his closest partners: Dr. Dre, D12 and Obie Trice. The album features total of 15 songs and 5 skits. From start to finish, excluding the infamous song “Drips” Eminem continue giving his 100 percent, with each song being as good as or even better than the one before it. The album gave us such Eminem classics as Cleaning out my closet, Without Me, Business, Sing for the moment, and the best gym/hype up song ever: Til’ I Collapse featuring the late legend Nate Dogg. In a few of his songs Eminem is contemplating his life and even death. What would happen if he died after this album dropped? I think that it is safe to say he would be forever established as the GOAT.

    The album is a spectacular show fest of rhymes, unstoppable flow, uncensored shots at everyone who even dares to step up to Eminem, and as a matter of fact, he gave us an Idea on why he’s going to stay in the rap game, and keep slaying it. 1999 to 2003 was arguably the biggest run of any artist ever. Eminem took the world by it’s balls and did whatever he wants with it. Sadly, every era must come to an end, and no matter whether you enjoyed Encore or not, The Eminem Show was the last truly great album, which also sort of marked the end of an era of this kind of rap style. However Eminem's music will forever stay within us, and despite all the opinions surrounding his career nowadays, we must give him credit where it's due. After Eminem stepping down, new artists and older well known rap icons came for his crown like: Lil Wayne, DMX, Jay Z, Kanye West    … Expand

    This album is my favorite from Eminem's discography. I can listen to this album from start to finish with zero skips. He has a song for every mood. Sing for the moment is my absolute favorite.

    A perfect ending to one of the most consistent 3-albums run in history of hiphop. A filled with emotion and personal details, political tracks, motivational hits, and a top notch lyrical ability shown throughout the whole album.

    All songs are so deep and move me. Can't tell if the album is too good or do I relate to the artist too much.

    Most definitely his best project.
    The production fits the style of the album
    While the flow and lyrics are almost just as aggressive as his previous album.
    This was the peak of Marshall Mathers.

    Eminem just may have made the best rap-rock album in history

    With each successive album Eminem finds new depth and excitement within the same themes and structures he used way back on The Slim Shady LP, so even if new songs contain earmarks of Eminem classics, they still feel reinvigorated.

    Behind the hype and the swagger, he's still baring enough of his soul for The Eminem Show to be compelling theatre. [Aug 2002, p.118]
