Customer Reviews for Slim Shady LP
Expert potty-mouth Caucasian rapper
Rating:
Eminem was not the first white rapper to hit the charts, but he was the foulest white gangster rapper. But Eminem wasn't any white rapper--he had a vengeance against his parents and the entire world.
"The Slim Shady LP" was the one of the most explosive rap albums, a rage-filled CD guaranteed to insult anyone.
Most of the songs are very familiar, partly because he was the infamous obnoxious Slim Shady. However, Shady was one of the best rappers with a very grim sense of humor, especially in the song "Guilty Conscience." Eminem acts as the devil's advocate for numerous men, to make sure they rob liquor stores, date rape and kill wives who cheat against them. There's something distinctly creepy about Eminem rapping, "f*** slitting her throat, cut this *****'s head off!"
Eminem's violent stories of bullies beating him up in "Brain Damage" serve as his excuse for laying down revenge lyrics against the world. In particular, the teacher beats his head with a remote control, knocking the brain out of his skull.
But even if he has brain damage, he sure has fun rapping, with humorous screams and oddball sound effects. And as sadistic as Eminem is with his rap about locking his dead wife a car trunk and dumping it in the river in the song "'97 Bonnie and Clyde," at least his kid Hailie seemed to enjoy it.
He has very black humor, but Eminem is a tough Detroit native who can yell and shout battle raps as well as any other rapper. And Dr. Dre has especially smooth beats for Eminem, especially in the stylish song "Role Model," with simple bass notes and harpsichords. And that cool bass drum beat in "My Fault" is really snazzy.
Perhaps some of Eminem's lyrics were a little too violent, especially for teenagers in the 90s. However, there's no doubt that Eminem was one of the best rappers, with the great Dr. Dre backing him up with awesome hip-hop tracks.
