On The Slim Shady LP, Eminem wants it all. He's conflicted, you see; the world has treated him badly, and he wants to respond in kind. But he isn't a straight-up gangsta--this is, after all, the first release on Dr. Dre's Aftermath Records, his post-Death Row-era venture--and Eminem (born Marshall Mathers) doesn't really want anyone to follow in his footsteps, which leads to some interesting contradictions on this album. In the first single, "My Name Is," he's self-deprecating, rapping about his poor upbringing and his hairy palms. But on the very next song, "Guilty Conscience," he plays the devil to Dr. Dre's angel--that is, until Eminem brings up an incident from Dre's devilish past, rapping, "You gonna take advice from someone who slapped Dee Barnes?" Later, on "'97 Bonnie & Clyde," he turns Will Smith's "Just the Two of Us" on its ear, making it a tale of murder; but on "My Fault," he actually feels bad--though whether it's for the girl he overdosed or for himself is tough to figure out. With his nasal Midwestern tone, Mathers has a clean, clear flow, and the production--by Dr. Dre, Marky, and Jeff Bass--is crisp but consistently fun. With his outlook, it's tough to take Eminem too seriously, but he's made an album you don't have to take seriously to enjoy. --Randy Silver

More stupid rap with a rapper using pouty lips trying to act black. The music sucks.
First Album, Major Hysteria February 13, 2008
The album that drove not just his ex wife, but the entire media off the cliff.
And what a great start it turned out to be! Until 2003, Eminem could not be stopped and this album paved the way. Compared to some of the beats later on, this album isn't as bangable now as others. When you play it, it really doesn't hold up to other old classics, but it still is one of the greatest rap albums in my opinion. I would rate this 4 and a half stars if I could only because of the fact that you can REALLY tell it's old production wise, but it definately holds up higher than 4 so a 5 will do for now.
Like "The Marshall Mathers LP" and "The Eminem Show", all songs are great. I have to say a few songs such as "My Fault" and "As the World Turns" weren't as great as some of the others on this album, but they eventually too grew on me until I liked them just the same.
This was the album that gave the young Detroit kid a chance. Real creative and different, nothing coming out at this time had a sound like this. I also semi-miss that old squeakier voice he had, he hadn't developed the profound voice most people know him from.
Still a great album. True to hip hop by all means necessary.

A great debut CD from Eminem. Obviously not for little kids; very adult content. Put aside the issue of profanity and accept the fact that Em ain't actually gonna do the stuff he raps about, he's just putting his feelings out on paper. Then you'll appreciate his stuff. Em is definitely a creative writer, and his flow when rapping is excellent. He puts down and communicates his feelings about life when he was a "down and outer" and nobody gave a rip about him. Good raps:
My Name Is - definitely catchy. The sanitized version got tones of airplay of course.
Guilty Conscience - insightful rap into what happens when 3 different young men are confronted by powerful temptations/emotions [need for money, sex, wife cheats]
Brain Damage - creative rap about a kid who's taken too much crap at school and home and fights back
If I Had - rapper muses on what he'd do if he had money
'97 Bonnie and Clyde - most genuinely disturbing rap. Depicts covering up murder of wife in company of daugther.
My Fault - rapper causes death of girl by letting her eat way too many shrooms
Cum on Everybody - gets listener hopping around
Rock Bottom - a look at feelings of a guy for whom everyday life is a struggle with poverty
Just Don't Give a
I'm Shady - has a thumping groove
Bad Meets Evil - Em is joined by Royce Da 5-9 in a parody on a Wild West Ghost Town story
