Eminem - The Slim Shady LP (Parental Advisory) [PA] (CD 1999)

Eminem's first commerical sucess, the result of his alter-ego rants at life as a 90s man in his 20s with a notebook full of rhymes and young child to support, and a chance meeting with the ailing DR Dre.

With insight rare in hip-hop since the days of NWA and other founding fathers of the genre, Eminem takes the listener on a journey through his life, from a trailer in Detroit to dead-end jobs, from going to clubs to the startings of fame.

The best songs on this album seemed to be drown in controversy on release, but songs such as 'If I Had', 'Role Model' and 97' Bonnie & Clyde are classics among Em's real fans, and are well worth a listen whenever the chips are down.

The album as a whole has a nice feel, never getting too melancholy thanks to some great up-beat sounds. It really is a cd for all occasions, often laugh-out-loud funny as well as heart-wrenchingly tragic.

A must for everyone.

i originally purchased the slim shadey lp in k.l whilst back packing and lost it in oz so having it again has brought back some relly good memories.

The Slim Shady LP, is a fantastic album by Eminem. Its his second album, although it's his first album to be widely acknowladged. The album has clever rhymes and good beats, several world wide hits, and a variation on music throught the album.

There's nothing else like it, its well worth its money!!

the slim shady LP, a look in to the dark, twisted world of eminem, this was his debut, he was broke angry, and ready to take on the world, and let me tell you this album is nothing short of brilliant, eminem proves himself as an incredible lyricist, with an amazing delivery great voice, he is brutally honest and raps about a range of subject matters, such as the struggles of being broke, hilarious storytelling songs, killing his girlfriend, vicous battle rap songs, dissing everyone from his mum to vanilla ice, in fact, the majority of the songs on this album are hilarious battle rap songs, which doesnt really matter because eminem comes up with punchlines, jokes, and multis galore, this album is mainly produced by underground producers(apart from 2 songs produced by dr dre), and the beats are amazing, theye are not heavy or commercialized but still easy on the ear, and its obvious the producers took alot of time trying to get the mood of the production to fit the songs this is the second best of eminems 3 amazing albums(encore was garbage) i would highly recommend this, if you want to hear some amazing lyricism, brutal honesty, or amazing battle rap skills, peace

I brought this cd for someones birthday, and they loved it. this cd has most of eminems origional early songs, this was a great purchase!!!!
