    Turn off your censors, roll back, have a sip of tea (I'm sorry, its gone cold) and relax as Eminem, the undoubtable GOAT, fills your ears with a sense of calmness.

    SIKE!

    I did like this album, but the track where he kills his wife was TERRIBLE!!!! He sounds too young for me to enjoy heavily on this album. At least it was better than The Slim Shady LP.

    This album is just pure genius. Eminem got inside the mind of the youth and turned the world upside down. More than half of the songs could have been singles and gone platinum that year.

    If you rate this below 9, then you are retarded. This is a classic. If you are offended by the lyrics, get hard.

    Not the greatest hip hop album ever.
    But definitely in the Top 20.
    Lyricism at it's most explosive.

Stan is one of my best songs from the album and one of my all-time favorite songs from Eminem. The Production and the beats from Dr. Dre is dope. And Eminem's lyrics, flow, and bars are insane. The Marshal Mathers LP is one of the best Album of his career and one of the best that Dr. Dre has ever Produced. I highly Recommended it. 10/10… Expand

    Overall his best effort creatively, while his ambition on this album only takes a backseat to his debut LP. The perfect blend of raunchy rhymes and elite lyricism, this album doesn't hold back & the lyrics are as explicit as ever.

Beyond the sometimes abstract lyrics he does have tracks where he wears his heart on his sleeve. The biggest problem with this album is the lack of seriousness, especially when you consider his competition. But songs like 'Stan' & 'The Way I Am' seemingly drown those tracks out ('The Real Slim Shady' , 'Kill You' and 'Amityville'). His horrocore style became the blueprint for many rappers today and in retrospective this is his most complete and essential project.… Expand

    This was back when Em wasn't corny. He was legit scary. He could shift between being horror core-y and making great storytelling tracks like Stan. This album contains some of Em's greatest tracks and some of the most classic beats in all of hip hop. I wish Em would make a new album more in this style than the new stuff he's making.

    Eminem's music will always be compared to this incredible album. Start to finish it is a listener and certainly a repeat listener.

No skip no wack song, Features did well Dido killed it, D12 Killed it, Bizzare killed it, Snoop Dogg killed it, Nate Dogg killed it. This album starts with a public service announcement & that **** was legendary & the song kill you is also legendary. Eminem flow in criminal is one of the best flow of all time.

    The MMLP album by Eminem is one of the best-selling, and most defining hip-hop albums of all time, and arguably some of the artist's best work. It is an assertive, edgy masterpiece with strong features, impressive writing, and is jam-packed with classic songs.

    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.
