    Podemos poner a The Marshall Mathers LP como el mejor álbum de rap de toda la historia si vemos las letras de este no como un oyente más, o un critico, sino como un Marshall Mathers o un Slim Shady.

    This is Eminem at his best. The content is very lyrical, funny, violent and controversial. Without a doubt top 10 rap albums of all time, maybe even top 5

    This album is the best Eminem album, absolutely genius, the rhymes and the punchlines are complicated. All of the disses, all of the anger, of this album is a car-crash record: loud, wild, dangerous, out of control, grotesque, unsettling. That's the real Slim Shady.

    This is of course a great album. No hardcore rap fans will deny that. Every track is either catchy or emotionally heavy, yet it never drags the album down.

Someone needs to give Metacritic the memo, because as of now, Rick Ross has an album higher than MMLP. Blasphemous.… Expand

    This album was exceptional for its year. It had the perfect blend of seriousness, jokes and dark humor. Eminem displays all of these using great wordplay, stellar lyricism and amazing flow, which he himself claims he wanted to improve. Although certain songs' production was a bit weak, the album is a masterpiece overall and a hip hop classic.

    A production, lyrical, and story-telling masterpiece. It delves into his mindless anger as he shapes this LP into a sophisticated acts of terror against specific celebrities. The overwhelming lyrics of drug use along with vivid details of killing his psychotic wife and many other people sets forth an unquestionably perfect alter ego that brings out the evil in him.

    Arguably Em's best work, MMLP is THE ultimate classic in the 2000's hip-hop. Em is more than entertaining, complex and very interesting on a critical and political standpoint. He is completely destroying the mic, howling his rhymes, who are sharp as a knife. We also can't forget Dre's work one the production which is unbelievably good and sharp, delivering awesome beats song after song.

    This Album is Like The Best Album I've Ever Heard In Hip-Hop History. This Album Is A True Classic. The Marshall Mathers LP Is A Masterpiece. The Lyrics Is Juicy, The Beats Are old School, The Tracks Are Fun, And Interesting To Listen Too. I Give This Album A 5.5 Mic Rating. Eminem's Style, Composition, Lyrics, Are Unbeatable. Stan And Kill You Are The Best Tracks On The Album.

    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.
