As witty as "The Marshall Mathers LP" was, "The Eminem Show" seems to be even wittier. This time, Eminem concentrates less on pushing buttons, and more on social and personal commentary.

Curtains Up(skit) - Just some sound effects giving the impression of Em walking up to a microphone.

White America - A heavy sounding song about how Eminem has unwittingly reached so many people in so many different ways. He points out how he wouldn't be targeted so much if he was black.

Business - Dre's G-funk production is easily recognizable here, and is just as groovy as ever. Em plays the role of Robin to Dre's Batman, much like the current video for "Without Me".

Cleaning Out My Closet - Self explanatory title. Here, Em once again vents his thoughts on his fame, ex-wife, and mother, but manages to say enough new stuff to keep from sounding repetative.

Square Dance - Don't let the title fool you, its still a rap song. Em says this song overall is intended to help you forget stuff and let loose. A few pot shots at Cannabis pop up here.

The Kiss(skit) - A loose recreation of the events that led to Eminem's arrest.

Soldier - With all the negative press, lawsuits, and newfound fame coming at him, Em describes himself as someone who keeps moving along despite all the pressure around him.

Say Goodbye to Hollywood - This seems to be Em saying that after all the things that have happened to him, he can't be carefree anymore.

Drips - A tale about how Obie Trice hooked up with a fictional girlfriend of Eminem, and wound up getting some kind of STD. Basically, this song is a graphic picture about the dangers of unprotected sex.

Without Me - The traditional, catchy, leadoff single with the Slim Shady persona in full force. Sounds different enough from "My Name Is" and "The Real Slim Shady" to hold its own.

Paul Rosenbeurg(skit) - Em's manager urgently warns him not to carry his gun around.

Sing for the Moment - Using a sample of Aerosmith's "Dream on", Em tells us in his own unique way how and why kids are drawn to him and entertainers in general.

Superman - A twisted semi-love song about Em's ex-wife. He indicates they may get back together down the road, but for now he could care less because "I can't be your Superman".

Halie's Song - A heartfelt ode to his beloved daugher. Em himself admits that he can't sing that good. Someone said how this sounded similar to the boy bands that Em puts down. Well, the difference is he wrote this himself, and the feelings are real.

Steve Berman(skit) - The head of Interscope records doesn't get a chance to say what he wants to say about this album.

When the Music Stops - The members of D-12 lend a hand in telling how life can be rough when the focus is not on music anymore.

Say What U Say - Em and Dre go back and forth in dissing Jermaine Dupri.

'Till I Collapse - The beat is identical to Queen's "We Will Rock You", and makes for an arena-rock sounding ode to Em's desire to continue on. Nate Dogg provides a very catchy chorus.

My Dad's Gone Crazy - Em's daughter is featured here, and she comments on what we've known all along. All the subject matter on the album is summed up well in the last few verses.

Curtains Close(skit) - Ken Kaniff is left all by himself as "The Eminem Show" ends.

... about for a sec then tells his mind.Em shows his songwriting gift.VERY GOOD SONG.
20-Curtain's Close-Ken Keniff is back closing out the show.

15/10

This CD really impressed me and should impress you as well.
Sorry this review is so long.Anyway this CD is well worth the 15 bucks.Hell, I think it should be more if u ask me.

I'm of a different breed when it comes to music taste. I'm only 22 years old and I'd take 80's rock over any other kind of music. While 99.99% of other people my age listen to the new stuff like alternative, rap, or even Britney Spears, I go for the 80's, 70's, and even a little bit of country.

However.....I've never been closed minded when it comes to music. I like a lot of the music from the 90's and a little bit from the 00's (if that's what we call this decade). I like one Britney Spears song, a few rap songs here and there, and even two or three songs from the Backstreet Boys.

Unless you count the Space Jam album, I haven't ever owned a rap album. One day when I was on my way to getting something to eat for supper from a fast food restaurant, the local 80's station and other stations that played stuff from the 70's - 00's just happened to be playing songs that I couldn't stand. So I turned it to 103.7, a station that played almost nothing but the hits that are currently taking the world by storm. And what do you know, I had no idea what song it was or who was singing it, but I heard a song called "Without Me" that had an infectious beat and catchy rapping that I liked a lot.

Upon finding out it was Eminem, I couldn't believe it. I had cut down Eminem before when my online friends were praising him, even though I hadn't heard any of his stuff except for on short commercials. Come to find out, my mom had his newest album, The Eminem Show, and she said I could borrow it. She even went so far as to say that if I liked it, I could keep it, because she doesn't like it much. "Eh, I probably won't like any songs other than "Without Me", but what the heck? I'll take a listen one day on one of my hour-long road trips to college."

I liked almost every song on the whole cd. I like how Eminem tells you his real-life story in many of his song such as "White America." You'll learn by listening to the lyrics that he was born in 1973, that he's not a big fan of his dad, what he thinks of being a famous white rapper, and much more. He even includes a song that's devoted to his daughter with "Hailie's Song." While that's great, what really made this an album that I was glad to add to my collection are the great beats, and most of all, the rapping, even though I'm not a huge rap fan at all. Also, one song, "Sing For The Moment", includes a good bit of the chorus from the classic Aerosmith hit, "Dream On." Gotta love that as well. "My Dad's Gone Crazy" is hilarious, and the album contains five skits.

If you like even one song you've heard from The Eminem Show, go ahead and get the whole album, because you'll probably like the majority of the tracks. That's what happened to me. I've found that it's especially good to listen to when you're on the road and you're feeling a little sleepy. It'll keep you wide awake as you listen to the lyrics or simply get down (not literally since you're driving, of course) with the beats. Bottom line: All of Eminem's attention and success isn't due to him being the first white rapper to make it big; he's got boat loads of talent.

My Top 5:

1. Without Me
2. When The Music Stops
3. White America
4. Say What You Say
5. Sing For The Moment

To be honest, before this album I had liked some of Eminem's songs but I never thought of him as an amazing artist. He was and still is an mult-talented rapper, and he had witty lyrics but his albums were made up of the songs sounded the same and not many stood out due to a lack of stand-out beats and lyrics that were conceptually repetitve. However on this album has gotten much more personal, switched up the format and type or rapping on each song, created great hooks and finally beats that are just as predominant as him. So heres the breakdown of ths songs, skipping the skits:

White America: the pounding beats and Eminem's agressive tone match each other perfectly in this song with self-confessing lyrics about Eminem's rise that are not only shocking in what they say but because that Eminem is willing to admit them. From this song you know Eminem is much more focused on his rise to fame and the media's potray of him rather then jabs at his targeets. 8.5/10

Business-a good bouncy track with a great beat with eminem talking bout the rap game. 8.5/10

Cleaning out my Closet- one of the most personal tracks on the album about eminem's darkest issues, but mainly his mother. Rather than make jokes about her, the track is of grim seriousness and emotion. 8.5/10

Square Dance- this is a good song even though its got a strange chrous. A pretty good beat and some political raps. 8/10

Say Goodbye to Hollywood: another track with personal lyrics mixed with an desperationa and vunerability in eminem's voice. A good beat too. 8.5/10

Drips: this one of the lesser tracks on the album. Not really worthy of mention. An ok beat, but predicatable unorignal lyrics bout STDs and sex. 7/10

Without Me:the first single. Although its uncannily similar to his earlier first singles of the other albums. This is the albums most club-friendly song and has jumpy beat which suits eminem's upbeat raps. A good hook too. 8/10

Sing for the moment: An amazing song with lyrics about emimen's music, how music people affects people and plain thought-provoking. Grim music matches eminem's voice that is full of determination, emotion and edge. 9/10

Superman: although the lyrics are somewhat unoringal in comparison to the other one on the album. Eminem's flow on the song is a hook all itself and the chorous is great too. 8.5/10

Soldier: although Eminem's lyrics about how tough he is are much less inovative, the beat and Eminem's flow is full of raw energy, enough to overshadow the lyrics. 8.5/10

Halie's Song: the is the best song on the album. Eminem's voice is compact with emotion, love and anger at the same time. The lyrics reveal the vunerability of eminem and how deep he can be. The hook is powerful and grasping. 9.5/10

When the Music Stops: this song may be overlooked as a typical D12 song, its not. Although their are some of their typical lyrics, their are many insightful ones too about music and themselves. But the track has a dark creeping beats that coats the grimmness of the rappers. 8.5/10

Say What You Say: This is Dre's magic. The beat is slamming and head-bobbing that its impossible not to be drawn it. Emine's & Dre's flows and chorous are full of rawness and edge. A great slamming track full of energy. 9.5/10

Till I Collapse: eminem's flow that speaks like a giant, empowering lyrics, a militant beat thats rocks, and Nate Dawg's hook = 9.5/10

My Dad's Gone Crazy: Eminem is at his wittiest and funniest here with a great hook and beat. 8.5/10

this is eminem's best work capturing his anger, frustration, emotion, pain, love and skills all in one. Combine this with amazing, pumped up beats and you've got an amazing album.

overal 9/10

While both Slim Shady and Marshall Mathers are an important part of this CD, Eminem subsumes his two other personas to take center stage on The Eminem Show. While the album is not as consistently impressive as either of his first two albums, it contains some standout tracks and displays a unity of purpose and theme that marks Eminem as a more mature and talented artist more than comfortable in his own often-criticized skin. There is plenty of violence and cursing throughout the course of this exceedingly long release (coming in at over an hour and seventeen minutes), yet a softer and certainly more introspective Eminem sometimes reveals himself in the lyrics. While there is plenty of talk about his own life, it is now somewhat counterbalanced by criticism of the music industry, censorship, and even American policy (including, as everyone probably knows, some harsh words for Lynn Cheney and Tipper Gore). This doesn't make Eminem a global spokesman for anything, but it certainly seems he is trying to place his music in a larger context. Naturally, though, his most intense lyrics revolve around his own life, the penultimate example of which is Cleaning Out My Closet. In this self-revelatory track, Eminem launches a vicious attack on his mother, seemingly holding nothing back at all in his diatribe. He raises the specter of his ex-wife Kim in The Kiss skit, but there is no equivalent track to Bonnie and Clyde 97 or Kim on this album.

Eminem doesn't take himself too seriously, leading to tracks such My Dad's Gone Crazy, the brilliant and funny duo with his daughter Hailie Jade. Hailie's influence is felt most strongly, of course, on Hailey's Song. This is by far my favorite song on this album, and it is certainly unique in that Eminem actually sings the lyrics, reflecting the obvious joy he feels at getting his daughter back. There are certainly enough tracks reflecting the rage and youthful exasperation that have always driven Eminem, but there is also a measure of fun rarely felt in his earlier efforts. Without Me is loads of fun, forever conjuring up images in my mind of Eminem in that superhero getup from the video. In White America, Eminem seems to take delight in pondering the effects he has on young people; and I find a lot of entertainment values in Square Dance. The only song I don't really care for is Drips featuring Obie Trice, a song that seems to take shock value for its own sake a little too far for my tastes. Overall, though, The Eminem Show is yet another amazing album from the unstoppable force known as Eminem, and the maturity, commitment, and ever-increasing skills revealed in its conception and execution offer undeniable proof that hip hop's most controversial and influential star is going to be a force in the business for a very long time.

I wasn't a big fan of Eminem's first two albums except for a few songs. When this came out, I heard two songs off it and they were awesome to me. So then I ordered this CD right here off Amazon.com. I just got it in today and the raps immediately blew me away and I had to take several breaks to recuperate. I must admit now that I think Em is truly talented. He literally wears his heart on his sleeve and spews out all the thoughts on his mind and mixes his words together to form clever rhythms. Here is my song-by-song review now:

Curtains Up - This isn't a song really. It's just an opening skit with sounds of Em making his way to the microphone. It was cool how he ended this skit by taking a deep breath and then my player immediately went to Track 2 when he screamed "America!"

White America - Slow rapping is included in this song so the fans of Eminem can clearly understand the message he is delivering here. Very catchy

Business - Not one of my favorites but I like the chorus

Cleanin Out My Closet - The title actually means that Em is cleaning out his mind of all the thoughts that need to be expressed in the form of words

Square Dance - Em's hillbilly voice in the chorus is a little annoying but the music is very cool and so is the rapping

The Kiss - This is a skit that actually has background music in it that leads up to "Soldier."

Soldier - The rapping is quicker than most of his other songs and there is a lot of cussing so protect your kids from this one. Better yet, protect your kids from the whole album. :) LOL

Say Goodbye Hollywood - If you exclude all the skits on this album, this is probably my least favorite song. It's pretty average and the chorus isn't catchy enough but it doesn't decrease the final score at all

Drips - Never got a chance to hear this one because it was removed from the album when they were editing it. Actually it's still on here but it's just three seconds of no audio and then Track 10 comes on

Without Me - This is the famous single you've heard so much about. I've heard it a million times but it's still pretty good. Unfortunately, it gets overplayed on the radio and it can get on your nerves after hearing it too much so, once you've had your fair share of listens, try not to listen to it more because you might dislike it then.

Paul Rosenberg - I feel some of these skits are unnecessary. Paul just leaves Marshall a message, telling him not to carry his gun away from his home.

Sing For The Moment - Eminem borrowed this music from Aerosmith's classic song "Dream On." He even had them featured in the song and they sang the chorus while he included his rap verses.

Superman - A pretty good song but it gets on your nerves as the conversation between Em and Dina Rea gets played too much.

Hailie's Song - Em shows how much love he has for his daughter and how much he hates his mother.

Steve Berman - Another dumb skit that's just on the CD to take up space

When The Music Stops - The music in the background really gets you moving. There is no chorus. Just nonstop rapping with five rappers featured, excluding Em.

Say What You Say - Good song. Nuff said.

Till I Collapse - Nate Dogg makes the chorus catchy and the rapping is normal and still good

My Dad's Gone Crazy - Hailie's voice gets very annoying in this song, but Em's rapping takes your mind off of her

Curtains Close - A skit that makes you cry because it's all over until the next album

Let me just start by saying that I am intelligent enough to know that Eminem isn't a genius, but open-minded enough to not consider him a no-talent shock artist. Eminem does have some artistic integrity and he has some market savvy too. So the following review is written by someone who has heard enough music, (hip hop in particular) to not be easily impressed, but not so jaded or reactionary against what is new and popular that I want to pan the album just for the sake of being contrary.

The Eminem Show. Its supposed to be a concept album inspired by the 'reality-based' entertainment culture of recent years. The title is inspired by the Jim Carrey film 'The Truman Show' in which a man discovers that the day to day events of his life are being mareketed as entertainment to the masses. After two wildly popular albums Eminem finds himself under the spotlight, but instead of shrinking or inventing a persona bigger than he is...Eminem has decided to flash the crowd. Look at me he says...look at yourself too he implies. But before things get too uncomfortable or too preachy Eminem plies us with his intoxicating wit and verbal dexterity.

This is Eminem's most balanced, and most mature work to date. And its a good thing too, because we aren't so impressed with his tongue twisting polysyllabic rhymes anymore that it all sounds clever. Just like all hip hoppers the voice and the delivery only stay hot for a little while (Ja Rule take note) and so there better be some innovation or substance down the line. Em keeps it fresh by turning inward and being a little more human instead of the two dimensional rebel without a cause of the past. This time out, Eminem rarely promotes his drug use as a badge of honor. Maybe he was little more sober in producing this album because it just doesn't have nearly as many boring tracks as his previous albums have had. Its hard to make a CD that clocks in at 70 minutes engaging throughout, but Em pulls it off for the first time. Sure there are some moments where he re-hashes old material (Drips and Superman come to mind) but the music is still engaging and Eminem's witticism keeps things interesting enough that you are going to at least pay attention, plus no one wants to watch him pick his sores the whole time so Em steps in with some fun bangers that are more traditional 'battle-rap-I-am-the-greatest' products (see Till I Collapse and Say What You Say).

Speaking of the music, its startling that Em has almost completely abandoned the production help of mentor Dr. Dre (who only contributes three tracks on the whole album) and mans the ship alone primarily. The result? Well if you like Dre's signature production than he is sorely missed, but Em makes up for it with more musical diversity on his self-produced tracks. Its also interesting to note that Eminem seems to find adequate tracks to express his emotional growth. Em still has venom to spew but it seems to be hitting closer to home now. He isn't stabbing ex-wives and disposing of bodies with infant daughter in tow anymore, but getting more into the hurt that has come from his relationship with his mom, with his fans, and with himself. And for a change of pace. Em actually sings a lullaby type song about his daughter on Haile's Song. Although barely listenable, one has to give Eminem credit for being bold enough to do something that could be described as corny when he has attacked the rest of the world so vehemently for their sentimental subject matter. Its all the more courageous because his daughter seems to be the only thing he cares about besides his music and telling the world you value something is always risky. Exposing his daughter to the public eye (even featuring her on catchy My Dad's Gone Crazy) and even boasting he is a competent father are all cannon fodder for those who wait in the wings to attack Marshall.

Saying that this is Em's most mature work still does leave some things to be desired. He is still sometimes offensive just for the sake of it making hamburgers out of everyone else's sacred cows. With the exception of racial slurs, there really isn't anything Em seems shy about saying to get a rise out of people. If you found him obnoxious in the past, he is still obnoxious now, but if it didn't bother you enough to dismiss the Slim Shady LP, or the Marshall Mathers LP, than you are in for much greater treat this time around.

At the outset, let me make it clear that I have nothing against pop-rap as a concept. There is nothing wrong with having big pop hooks to spice up your tracks every now and then - and listening to it certainly makes a good change from the "look at me, I'm so underground nobody's ever heard of me" style of MC that so many hip-hop fans listen to obsessively.

The problem with Eminem's style of pop-rap is that it tends to be too confessional at times, and on his third offering this problem becomes quite major. The clever wordsmithing of "The Slim Shady LP" is still there, and every so often a hook which wouldn't have been out of place on "The Marshall Mathers LP" crops up, The problem is that there just aren't enough of either to make "The Eminem Show" a rewarding listen.

The big success story here would have to be "Without Me". It's clear to see why the song was chosen as the lead-off single, Eminem's characteristically (and increasingly rare) nimble vocal style and sharp wit make the track well-deserving of the number one positions it has held around the world. Indeed, the irony of the reference to "parents stull listening to Elvis" should be palpable to everyone who has seen this track duel with "A Little Less Conversation" at the top of most charts. As previously mentioned, Eminem delivers some marvellous lyrics here, with the first verse taking the cake - especially the section about the doctor, Dick Cheney and the FCC. The beat, produced by an inspired Dr Dre (despite what Eminem's devoted acolytes would say, this is all too close to an oxymoron in the post-G Funk universe), contributes to what can easily be called a "driving song".

Sadly, the rest of the album does not deliver on the promise of the first single. Where "Slim Shady" had a number of lyrical gems waiting to be discovered and "Marshall Mathers" had almost every track capable of being a single, this album does not. Eminem's shouting voice - generally used to deliver his polemic-based raps - is overused here on tracks like "White America" and "Cleaning Out My Closet". While it is a nice reflection that he may finally have "found his muse", I for one would prefer him not to have found this particular one.

Not only is the voice overused, to the point of being more a shout or even a speaking voice at times, the targets of his rage are predictable and no new hits are landed. .... His rants about freedom of speech and the President's wife became commonplace under Clinton, so it is not surprising to hear them levelled again - with the minor change that the Vice-President's wife is now the human target.

The lyrics are not the only problem, from sounding positively re-engergised on "Without Me", Dre has slipped back into his rather pedestrian mode of production in which there is really no differentiation between tracks. I have heard that some other producers were involved on this album as well, in which case we are merely subjected to a morass of soundalike producers and productions, rather than one man sounding like himself. In short, nothing very new is said and nothing very new is played. The tracks also tend to extend beyond their welcome more frequently. On an album of this length, this becomes a considerable burden on the listener - who is required to endure (and this is quite the right word in many cases) these tracks for one-and-a-half times the normal (3-4 minute) length.

One final positive is that it is nice to hear Eminem finally make some reference to hip-hop history further back than Dre's time with NWA. The "trailer park girls" segment at the start of "Without Me" is a reference to Malcolm McLaren's seminal breakdance cut of "Buffalo Girls" - a track well worth finding and hearing, if anyone is so inclined.

Overall, a very disappointing listen and one which seems to be likely to be the prototype for future releases by this artist.

Shady seems to get wizer with his lyrics ever album. This album explodes with great lyrics, beats, and a tight production. Dr. Dre and Eminem are the best duo. Marshall tells about social issues in America he expresses his thoughts in great detail throughout the album you get a sense of what he is going through in his life.

Curtains Up Skit- Show's Eminem ready to talk on the microphone.

White America- Displays Eminem's talent to reach out to his fans and how's he's influenced them awesome song! Very heavy

Business- One of my favorite tracks it's awesome with Dre's beats. It's kind of a batman and Robin duo. Great Lyricsm on this track it's a standout!!

Cleanin Out My Closet- Eminem talks about his fame, his ex wife, and his mother, this song tells the fans what Eminem's feeling.

Square Dance- Don't let the title fool you. Eminem seems mad on this track he trash talks canibus! It's a good rap song.

The Kiss Skit- The events that led to Eminem's arrest.

Soldier- Tells about how even though Eminem has had lawsuits against him, the press against him, and his newfound fame, he takes it all in and still moves on like a soilder.

Say Goodbye Hollywood- Talks about all the things that have happened to Shady and how he needs to keep his feet above the ground.

Drips- Talks about Obie Trice he raps about sex and STDS. Basically a son about Eminem's fictional girlfriend.

Without Me- One of my favorite tracks. Eminems first lead single and he basically tells about how he's back and better then ever. Very funny song.

. Paul Rosenberg (Skit)- Em's manager telling em not to carry a gun around anywhere.

Sing For The Moment- Aerosmith tune telling how his fans and other enterainers are attached to em.

Superman- Tells about his ex wife. And how he can care less about the situation. How's he single and his laid back attitude.

Hailie's Song- Lovesong to his daughter. Describing his feelings in this heartfelt song.

Steve Berman(skit) - The head of Interscope records says what he wants to say about this album.

When The Music Stops- Awesome talks about Em's issues and what he's feeling tight beat guest spot by D12 one of my favorite songs on this album.

Say What U Say - Em and Dre rap dissing Jermaine Dupri.

'Till I Collapse- Don't really like this song tells about how em is going to continue with his rap career till he collapse how much he loves the game and how rapping is his life!

My Dad's Gone Crazy- Eminem shines on this song it tells about him and what we've known all along Em is a little crazy!

The Curtains close- The Em show sadly ends.

*****5 stars great album!! Funny

Much of what em does is reminiscent of naturalism, the European literary movement of the late nineteenth century. His premise is that the dysfunctional side of life, and his life in particular, are artistically appealing and certainly worth the money you spend on a CD. I think that basically this premise works. Life can be seen from many different perspectives, all of which deserve the attention of the curious, and all of which add something to the understanding of the human variety on this planet.

I think that "Superman" is a cool song, even if it stems from the inability to relate to adult women as fellow human beings. The dysfunctional nature of em's relationship with women is the origin of this song, but it still works independently of its origin as a put down of shallow, lying, cheating, and money-grubbing women.

"Drips" is a bizarre song of the same women-dissing genre, in which we learn that Obie did not use protection, facilitating the spread of infection carried by Denise, who is em's girlfriend, according to the song. Obie does a good job rapping. The guy has talent.

"Without Me" has been played so much that it is even unnecessary for me to say much about it. Em has the satisfaction of telling people off, and calling Mobie a [name].

"White America" is a pretty decent effort at feigning humility. What he says in so many words is that he is a superstar because of his race. But in reality, he is a superstar because he can rap. People are not curious about him because he is a white rapper, they are curious about him because he is a gifted rapper.
At the end of the album, on the track "My Dad Gone Crazy," em drops the act and plainly calls himself a "genius." He also says that when he speaks, it's tounge-in-cheek, so it's easy to misinterpret his verses at first. This progression of thought makes me dizzy. Are we to assume that he always speaks tounge-in-cheek? Is he ever serious?

Finally, I was not that crazy about em's allusions to 9-11. Here I have in mind the track "My Dad Gone Crazy." Either he does not understand the seriousness of what took place, or I simply take 9-11 too hard, because I could not help but find his irreverent references revolting. He is way too smart and sensitive to use 9-11 this way, and I believe this was not the most apt use of a significant event in world politics--a subject about which em knows little.

Overall, I obviously recommend this record. Em is one of the most talented rappers today, and he and Dre make a good team. If you are an adult, then you should listen to the uncensored version of this album. So if you want Shady, this is what this album gives you: a little bit of irreverence mixed with some hard lyrics.

Ok first off I'd say it's a brilliant album for young kids and for parents who don't like swearing.It has a few bad words ...BR>...,but they aren't strong ones so i think your parents won't mind.His first song off this album is without me. a fun single.
His best one would have to be 'White America'.It's a strong song.
Business is another fun song and in Halie's song he actually sings!.But i'd recommend him sticking to rap.If you're not sure about buying this album listen to the previews.If you think it's not to be good you'll be suprised because it's excellent.A must by for Rap/Hip-Hop fans.EMINEM RULZ!!!!!!...But he sure ...is going to picture it! Homosexual jokes, jokes about rape, murder ( if you want to call them jokes...) and what is especially offensive to many, is in one song a joke about Sandra Leavy. I hope you make the right choice! ...At the end of the song, after visciously stating his opinions about America, he says, "I'm just playin', you know I love you America." I think that he says this just to stop critics from attacking him for this song. If such is the case, he needs to stop apologizing, because he is right--his agressors are wrong.other in a non dissing way.
5. Square Dance ... - a great song. he disses Canibus on this song and gives props to Nas and Dre.
6. The Kiss (Skit) ... - Hilarious skit where he puts a funny take on what happen the night when he say his wife kissing a bouncer.
7. Solider ... - A great song.
8. Say Goodbye Hollywood *** - Didn't really like the song, but the beat is good.
9. Drips (featuring Obie Trice) ... - The worst song on the whole album.
10. Without Me ... - The first single where he raps about how the music and entertainment industry hasnt been the same without him.
11. Paul Rosenberg (skit) ... - a skit where his manager tells him to stop carrying his gun.
12. Sing For The Moment... - My favorite song on the whole album. and it is so true. he raps about white kids and familys being affected by rap and how kids look up to rappers and idolize them. it also carrys the hook from "Dream On" by Aerosmith.
13. Superman (featuring Dina Rae) ... - a funny song.
14. Hailie's Song ... - He "sings" for and about his daughter, one of the nicest songs i've ever heard.
15. Steve Berman (skit) - ... - Eminem finally gets fed up with steve talkin s... about his albums.
16. When The Music Stops (featuring D-12) ***** - A really good and funny song.
17. Say What You Say (featuring Dr. Dre) ... - A great song where Eminem and Dre get on Jermaine Dupri and at the end so does Timbaland.
18. Till I Collapse (featuring Nate Dogg) ... - My third favorite song on the album with a great beat, and it's Eminem at his best.
19. My Dad's Gone Crazy (featuring Hailie Jade Mathers) ... - I think this is a really nice song where he put his daughter on.
20. Curtains Close (skit) ... - really didn't need it.
