The Marshall Mathers LP - Eminem

The Marshall Mathers LP Genre - Hip Hop / Rap The title of the album derives from Eminem's real name, Marshall Mathers.

First off a disclaimer: I am embarking on writing a series of Hip-Hop reviews, but I am not an expert on the genre. I enjoy it as a fan, but don't know everything about it like some of the excellent reviewers on here such as XICripZ. My reviews will be in the style of 'Hip-Hop for Dummies', and won't go into any background I know nothing about.

He comes from Detroit and this is his second commercial album, after the Slim Shady Lp and definitely ...  Read the complete review
