The Slim Shady LP (1999)

Buy from Amazon.com

"The Slim Shady LP" is the next to "The Slim Shady EP" album. This album is a conclusive Eminem's step to the world of rap. I might say this is Eminem's debut album, which has proved to everybody that Eminem is a true rapper, though he's white, and he'll never surrender. Of course, all this was done not without a collaboration with famous Dr. Dre - exactly his trademark beats became a typical feature of "The Slim Shady LP". This is an aggressive album full of furious and cruel lyrics, which claim that Eminem just insonifies thoughts of his character - Slim Shady. If this is a parody or not, but lyrics of such song as "97 Bonnie & Clyde" (it contains words about the murder of mother of his child), as well as frequent wordy attacks on his own mother, were considered by many as absolutely irresponsible. Songs "My Name Is" and "Guilty Conscience" raise this album to the top of charts, and in March of 1999 the album reached the second place in american album chart. "The Slim Shady LP" is a serious and wicked album that reflects the cruel reality of Slim Shady, and this fact gives a strong emotionality to this album.
