The Eminem Show [PA] [Limited] by Eminem

Pros: A mixture of nasty lyrics and rap/pop hooks.
Cons: He didn't expand beyond his comfort zone.

Preamble
What's a pop chick doing reviewing Eminem? Well, I recognize that no matter how slimy someone is on a personal level, you really have to separate the personal from the professional. In Eminem's case, he displays a...

Pros: Brilliant lyrics, decent music, great delivery
Cons: Blunt and could be offensive, "Drips" is gross

You can imagine my surprise when I walked through Media Play yesterday and saw that Eminem’s new album, The Eminem Show, was already out for the masses. It was originally scheduled to be released in early June, due to pirating it was slated for May...

Pros: Eminem maintains his clever, quick, and devastating delivery
Cons: Still hung up on his Mom, Kim, and the mediocre D12 needs to go

Madonna always had an edge, until her style took a heartfelt turn when she had her first child and creatively gave birth to Ray of Light. Marshall Mathers, also known as Eminem now displays another side of his creativity, through the eyes of a...

Pros: Cool grooves and creative raps.
Cons: Vulgar, drags a bit towards the end.

286 total foul words. One every 17 (+/- 2-3) seconds. Kim, Eminem’s Mom, the government, the Vice President and his wife, Tipper Gore, various other rappers and pop singers, women, and handful of parents who fuel his career by continuing to bring...

Pros: Fun to invent your own words to songs
Cons: I can't be the target market can I?

Overprotective mothers of the world rejoice! Eminem, Slim Shady, Marshall Mathers, whatever you care to call him, is done. The much vilified king of ultra offensive rap is no more. The game... to quote someone famous who I can't think of at the moment......

Pros: Personal lyrics, good beats, Emimem grows up (a little)
Cons: Repetitive subjects, Dr. Dre, bonus DVD

Well here I am, doing something that even I would not expect…I’m reviewing an Eminem CD. This means that I actually bought his album (the day it came out) and listened to it the whole way through. Me, a pop loving gay Latin male who actually likes Eminem...

Pros: Eminem's lyrics and flow are as good as ever; fans will not be disappointed
Cons: intros/outros, a few sub-par songs, eminem sings (but it's tolerable and justified)

I've always liked Eminem because he is innovative and very talented. What I don't like though is how a lot of Eminem fans aren't really hip-hop fans. A lot of them are MTV-watching white teenage girls who think he's cute and try to pretend that they...

Pros: .
Cons: .

“Listen to the sound of me spillin’ my heart through this pen/
Motherf*ckers know that I’ll never be Marshall again”

Sorry Eminem, but I don’t believe you.

I didn’t believe your schizophrenic act on The Marshall Mathers LP and,...

Pros: Eminem's best work to date. Great lyrics and beats. Bonus DVD!
Cons: May be offensive to some.

This Eminem version is a Limited Edition of 2 million and adds a bonus DVD that contains live performances and interview bits.

I tried to play my old CD the other day and it was so scratched up it skipped real bad. So, I went to my local music...

Pros: Solid beats, incredible rhyming skills, and less offensive than before...
Cons: but still foul, will offend the prudish, Drips is not a good song

I've been excited about this album ever since I basically fell in love with Eminem's previous CD. I read June 4, so I waited. Then I heard, due to internet piracy, that the ablum was being pushed back a week. Then again pushed back three days. I like...

Pros: More catchy tracks. He sings well, believe it or not in track 14.
Cons: Same old, same old.

Please note that this review contains some bad language and controversial topics...



1. Curtains Up
This 30 second skit is a fairly intriguing introduction to the album.

2. White America
Anger in Eminem's voice...

Pros: Dr. Dre influence Get to see someone make a fool of himself
Cons: America is hugging Eminem when he takes aim at the very people that support him

Some compare this clown to 2Pac, some compare him to Elvis. I compare him to a wannabe clone of Vanilla Ice.

"It really comes to this question: Is music better when it's controversial? Songs always seemed more important when there was a story...

Pros: i saw a softer side of Eminem
Cons: a lot of the same kind of beat throughout the CD

Just a note, I am basically writing about the change of Eminem's attitude from his last CD, "The Marshall Mathers LP" to "The Eminem Show", the most recent CD that came out in 2002!

Marshall Mathers, also known as Slim Shady and Eminem. I...

Pros: Great Lyrics, Great Music
Cons: Offensive to some people

Ever since hearing the real slim shadey, off Eminem's album "The Marshall Mathers LP", Eminem has been my favourite musical artist. I enjoyed every song off his previous albums, and, a few weeks ago, when I heard he had a new song out, I was...

Pros: A few good hits
Cons: Lacks depth and sound of previous cd's

The newest Eminem CD is a great piece of work compared to much of the rap on the shelves these days, but compared to his last two lp's this cd definently lacks. I was extremely dissapointed as this cd in many of the tracks takes on an almost pop kind of...
