The edited version is a great choice for people under 13 or anybody offended by his content. Amazon.com made a mistake. Track 16 is only "Kim" on the explicit version. The song is different and it's called "The Kids". It's much less offensive than "Kim".

Anyway, my fav songs are "Stan", "Marshall Mathers", and "Under the Influence", but all the songs are excellent!

If you are considering buying this CD, I strongly encourage it. I understand many of you are forced to buy the edited version instead of the explicit versions, and are expecting dissapointment. You should be in for a pleasant surprise. The CD is better than the explicit version. "Kim" a violent, vulgar, boring song is replaced by a hilarious song callled "The Kids", in which Eminem uses his great voice talents in a number of roles tellign a hilarious story through song. Classic Slim Shady. Another outstanding song is the hit "The Real Slim Shady", a great song with a catchy chorus. Another great song is the sad, but realistic song "Stan", about a fan that kills himself and his pregnant girlfriend because Eminem doesn't respond to his letters. It shows the real Marshall Mathers. Other songs worth mentioning are "The Way I Am" (very catchy backbeat, great lyrics), and "Criminal" (cool lyrics). If you are still contemplating whether or not to buy this CD, take my word for it and purchase it.

Whoa. This CD is awesome. I've listened to both the edited and unedited versions and the only difference I found was that bad words are edited and The Kids was on the edited and Kim was on the unedited. They are both great songs. I am 12 years old and have the edite version of the CD. I would recommend the edited for kids my age though.

I LOVE this cd! it is the BOMB! i would suggest it to teenagers 12 and up. If you like dr. dre, nelly, kid rock, and dmx, you will LOVE The Marshall Mathers LP! Of course i listen to the lyrics, but i dont go doin' crazy stuff, and, parents, i'm 13! The reason i reccomended it for kids over 12 is that i don't think little kids should hear all that until they are old enough to understand what to and not to say!

Okay, I really didn't like rap until I heard The Real Slim Shady at a school dance. I thought it was pretty cool so I bought the edited version of the CD. IT ROX! I couldn't believe how something so controversial could be so expemplary. If anyone actually listens to the CD, they would know the Eminem doesn't really mean anything in his rapping. Most people don't like rap and just read the lyrics, but its not about the lyrics. I mean most of the time, you can't even understand the lyrics at first! This is a good CD for people who have overprotective parents. IT ROX!

this is one of my favorite c.d.s ever. un-edited is better, but this one is also good.

*If u have the unedited CD it will have "Kim" on it. Ive heard it be4 its a good song.

This album is partially edited. The songs are not recorded over so
cuss words will be replaced with clean words; the words that are
edited out are strong cuss words. Is it me or this album does not contain the 1st
track-PSA 2000? My CD doesn't. It just plays a few seconds of silence
and then goes on to the 2nd track called "Kill You". EMINEM
DOES NOT ACTUALLY MURDER PEOPLE IN REAL LIFE! If you want proof listen
to the end of the song. "Stan" feat. Dido, which has a
video, is considered as the best song on the album. It's about an
obsessive fan who committed suicide because he thought Eminem didn't
care about him. The 2nd skit is "Paul". He just talks
about how Dre gave him the new album and hangs up cause he doesn't
wanna talk about it. "I never knew I-I/I never knew
I..."Who Knew" is the 6th track. The 3rd skit is
"Steve Berman", Eminem's manager, who is cussing Eminem out
because he thinks his album is horrible and needs to change it or it
won't come. The next track-"The Way I Am" is a sequel to
that. They play the 2nd half of the skit at the beginning of the
video. "The Real Slim Shady" is the song that a lot
Anti-Eminem complained about because of the disses. (Listen to the
2nd verse). "Remember Me" has an annoying beginning IMO.
"I'm Back" is kinda funny cause of Eminem singing and the
lil' kids saying "Slim Shady" in the background of hook.
Eminem expresses most of his "opnions" in the next song
"Marshall Mathers". The nasty skit is "Ken
Kaniff" who is the biggest ***** on earth, if he's real.
"Drug Ballad" is a love song aiight...a song about a love
for drugs! "Amityville" starts off with a tight beat.
"B**** Please II" is a sequel to "B**** Please II"
by Snoop Dogg f/Xzibit & Nate Dogg. Eminem's version features
them & Dr. Dre. The next track is "The Kids", it
replaced "Kim" for the clean version of this album. It's a
funny South Park (the cartoon) song which has Eminem imitiating the
cartoon characters from the cartoon. He does a good job of it too.
My favorite & next track is "Under The Influence"
featuring Eminem's new group called D-12. The last track is
"Criminal", the beginning of the track is a must-listen-to.
LOL! Eminem has issues on this album!

Well, if you don't already know by now, 'The Marshall Mathers LP' is one of the best rap albums ever released, right up there with 'Ready to Die', 'DoggyStyle', 'Return to the 36 Chambers', 'The Chronic', 'Death Certificate', 'Here Come the Lords', 'Southernplayalistic..' and so on.

However, unlike the edited version of 'The Slim Shady LP' (with its excellent sound effect-laden version of 'Just Don't Give a F'), there's pretty much nothing here to warrant an edited purchase. I don't recall any songs on this version that use sound effects/voice samples instead of just 'silence' on the voice track whenever an offensive enough swear word is said. There is something here though that isn't on the standard issue parental advisory version, which is the superb B-side 'The Kids' in place of the somewhat intense 'Kim' track. The only problem is that all of the drug references in the song are played backwards, making me think that when Em really says 'Ecstasy', it sounds more like 'deez n*ts', just to give an example.

I hold this album in such high regard that I bought the double-disc asian version, which has 'Kim' as well as 'The Kids' in uncensored form, not to mention 3 instrumental tracks and an awesome Danny Lohner/Marilyn Manson remix of 'The Way I Am'.

The bottom line: Unless you get offended easily or have a young kid who wants you to buy this cd for them, forget this edited version and get the explicit content ver. instead. I agree that a lot of the lyrics are inappropriate for young 'uns (especially the 'Kim' lyrics) but if these issues don't apply to you, I recommend the import version (if you're a die-hard fan like me). If you're a just a casual Em fan then chances are you already have the regular version of this album, but if you haven't picked it up yet and are looking for a facinating trip of sex, drugs and violence laid over a cartoonesque pop-rap sonic backdrop, be sure to do so as soon as possible because this album is Em's number one masterwork and will probably never be topped by anyone (himself included).
