EMINEM "the marshall mathers lp" cd, 2000
return to an old friend this morning....
one of the ten most played albums in my collection.
the standard to which all other rap albums are judged.
love the track layout here whereby tracks are interlinked with little skits
and so called 'public service announcements.
just about every track on here is a cracker as Em discusses his life in graphic detail.
offset that with humour, quick witted wordplay, I mean seriously, the dude is up there
with Dylan as a lyricist.
and to top it off the album contains "stan", one of the greatest songs ever written iMO.
album sold well over 20 million worldwide.
I LOVE THIS ALBUM.
the mega hit:
and the spine chilling live version at the Grammy's with Elton John (so much for being a homophobe LOL!)
