Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
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 long-time mentor/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

CD Description
This is the third album from Eminem which he co-produced alongside Dr. Dre and DJ Head. A fusion of Southern and West Coast hip hop, with heavy influences of rock, combined with kitschy disco beats and samples of retro TV soundtrack themes. 'The Eminem Show' is the follow up to his 2000 release 'Marshall Mathers LP'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Please! please! please!... Learn to take a joke!, 17 April 2006
By A. PASQUILL "poteen" (uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you are not automatically put off by his unashamedly controversial choice of words, and if you have a sense of humour, you will be struck by how clever this man is! He doesn't waste a word!

Mathers seems more interested in taking a moment to try to understand what is wrong with everyone; if his music is so utterly against the grain, why do so many people feel the need to buy his records (How is he any different to Elvis?) Why do people confuse "Hip-Hop with real life"? And why should he have to relinquish his freedom of speech just because he is saying something provocotive?

Yet while he asks these questions, he simultaneously expresses his understanding that from a white, middle-class point of view it is scary to see your kids walking around and listening to eminem swearing away. He accepts that while he doesn't believe he should be scape goated for the actions of his fans, he does get affected by what his songs make people do. He concedes that it's nuts how quickly he got to the top, he feels he "sold his soul to the devil" in order to give his daughter the life he never had. and in perhaps his bravest song, he proclaims his absolute devotion to his daughter in "Halie's song".

Basically if you like to mock our current political climate, then you will probably enjoy having a laugh while you listen to this album. If you think the political climate at the moment is all fine and dandy, and/or you have no sense of humour or if "beep" words make you want to cover your ears and whistle loudly then this album probably isn't for you.

For me, this is a very funny and talented man who has a lot to say. we need more people like him!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Show Must Go On !!!1, 30 May 2002
The Eminem Show is undoubtedly the best album that Mr Mathers has released. His lyrical rhyming is superb and this album thoroughly establishes his place as one of the best mc's ever. Dr Dre's production is simply amazing. This album is dark in tone and is for the older audience purely because it carries less commercial appeal than the previous two.

Here is my track-by-track rating.
1. Curtains Up (Skit)

2. White America- A huge rock sounding track, which introduces the change of style. 7/10

3. Business - Catchy, funny and ever so slightly camp and obviously Dre produced 8/10

4. Cleanin Out my Closet - The most emotional song he has ever recorded. Stunning. 8.5/10

5. Square Dance - Again a change of style,
very southern sounding. Think Bubba Sparx..only better. 8/10

6. The Kiss (Skit)

7. Soldier- Dark and angry, production on this track is superb 8/10

8. Say Goodbye Hollywood - Another 'rockier' track. Technically this song is amazing.8/10

9. Drips - Eminem and his protégé Obie Trice rapping over slow beats. Charming song 7/10

10. Without Me - You've all heard this
one !!! 8/10

11. Paul Rosenburg (Skit)

12. Sing for the Moment - Superb. The song features a sample from Areosmith.One of the standout track. 10/10

13. Superman - Simply Brilliant. This is Eminem at his is best 9/10

14. Hailie's Song - A first he actually sings on this track, and he ain't bad. A bit slushy but still there's something about it I like. 7/10

15. Steve Berman (Skit)

16. When the Music Stops - D12 take to the mic. Slick and with powerful message. 8/10

17. Say what you Say- The 'Battle' record. A late addition to the album to coincide with Eminem's and Dre's lyrical battle with Jermain Dupre. Powerful. 8/10

18. Til I Collapse- The other standout track. Nate Dogg adds his vocals to this outstanding song. Could be the best song he's ever recorded. 11/10

19. My Dad's gone Crazy - Hallie Jade (Em's Daugther) pops up in this song. Good fun and Em does a great impression of his mother. A great way to end the album. 8/10

20. Curtains Close (Skit)

Overall I would give the album a 9 out of 10, you need this album in your life. Don't believe the sceptics he is an A grade rapper not a pop artist. As this album proves.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, 1 Aug 2006
By YoungB "The King Of The UK" (Diss, Norfolk, England) - See all my reviews
This is one of the best em albums, it features teriffic emotional songs like cleanin' out my closet and hailies song and funny songs like i think my dads gone crazy and without me. Although i find without me to commercial, it can be a good track if you want a laugh.
Maybe one of the best politically inspired tracks ever is featured on here, White America is brilliant.
People, learn to take a joke and listen to what em is saying.
Shady records is gonna explode once Ca$his comes through.
This is brilliant, Get It!!
