Eminem

Slim Shady LP

Great Debut

Review Score:

(10/10)
Eminem came out with something totally different for his debut album, and it took the rap world by storm. With his childlike flow and hilarious and rude lines that make some laugh and some get disgusted, he did something no one had done yet in the rap game, and it helped make him a huge star, create a huge buzz around his name, and even got him a lot of criticism. He has drug humor, makes fun of his mom and his ex-wife, and even a few people. A few of the 14 songs on here were off his demo tape from a few years earlier and Dre liked them so much he had Em put them on his first full length LP. Dr. Dre and FBT Productions handled the production duties on this one and they did a rather good job. The album has 6 skits, many are rather funny. Has only one song that I skip and many high quality songs as well as 3 or 4 classic songs. Features only 2 other rappers, one song with Dre and one with his homie at the time, Royce da 5'9". A must have album for rap fans.

#2 - 9 (his first single and a funny song about drugs, his mom, and drinking)
#3 - 10 (classic back and forth song about talking about people and their conscious -- f/ Dr. Dre)
#4 - 8.5
#6 - 8
#7 - 8.5 (talking to his daughter on this one explaining why her mom is gone - he killed her)
#9 - 9.5
#11 - 10 (classic song about eating mushrooms)
#13 - 8 (upbeat song)
#14 - 9 (deeper song)
#15 - 8.5 (about not giving a F**K)
#17 - 6
#18 - 8
#19 - 8.5 (f/ Royce da 5'9)
#20 - 10 (classic about still not giving a F*&K)
