The Eminem Show
Any lingering doubts as to the depth of Eminem's skills or his potential for raw yet compelling honesty are dispelled on The Eminem Show's first track. Armed with a quicksilver flow and a thundering rhythm track (the record was exec produced by longtime mentor and partner Dr. Dre), "White America" finds Eminem ferociously mauling the hand that feeds him, lambasting his critics, the industry, and the racism that, in many ways, helped make Marshall Mathers more than just another rapper. "Let's do the math," Em sneers, "If I was black I would have sold half/ I could be one of your kids/ Little Eric looks just like this." After the bombast of The Marshall Mathers LP and Eminem's well-noted use of sexual epithets, this kind of material is made more controversial because it actually rings true. From a brutal retort to his long-estranged and equally troubled mother ("Cleaning Out My Closets") to a surprisingly tender ode to his child ("Hailie's Song"), Eminem examines his life, loves, arrests, addictions, failures, and successes with surprising insight, making this a funk-drenched hip-hop confessional well worth the hype. --Amy Linden more

good hip hop record from Nas. Not his very best stuff but still some real solid tracks.

- It is a classic...
In my opinion, this is Eminems best work. This is a classic album from start to finish. This has got to be in the top 100 rap albums of all time. It's Eminem's lyrics and Dr.Dre's beats. What more can you ask for?

- True Genius
Here Eminem flexes his creative muscles in a way that marks him as a true lyricist and poet. Lots of background on his life and opinions. Another classic and undauntingly harsh critique into the mind of America.
