The other side of Relapse, Recovery came out in 2010 and as a personal opinion, it is Eminem’s worst album ever. It does have good tracks like 3am and My Mom, but overall it’s a little too drugged out. A legit complaint with the album is Eminem’s weird accent. People hilariously complained that it had too much Slim Shady. I guess one of the reasons was that people didn’t understand that it’s Eminem style to release an album for each character. His critical success, however, waned with later albums and I’m still waiting for a new Eminem album to be proud of.Ģ009’s Relapse was a decent effort but bombed badly. He next came out with The Eminem Show in 2002 as well as the flick 8 Mile both of which were commercial and critical successes. These albums put Eminem on top and in current times he’s the most recognizable rapper alive. If I had to pick the best, it’s Stikky Fingazz hands down. There’s D-12 on Under the Influence, RBX & Stikky Fingazz (Of Onyx) on Remember Me? and Dre, Snoop, Nate Dogg & Xzibit on Bitch Please II. MMLP is FILLED with featured artists compared to SSLP. 97 Bonnie & Clyde from the previous album gets an even darker prequel, the infamous Kim. The song has a sort of Biggie quality to it, as it’s narrated as a letter from an insane fan to Eminem. It was a huge hit, as was Stan, a vivid, atmospheric track which uses a haunting Dido sample for the hook. After SSLP, Eminem was starting to be compared to other white rappers like Cage, an issue Eminem cleverly addresses in The Real Slim Shady. It’s more introspective, but in no way less sober or violent. The sound is easily distinguishable from Slim Shady LP, representing Eminen’s other side. The Marshall Mathers LP came out the next year. To no one’s surprise, Eminem attracted a lot of controversy over his violent and misogynistic lyrics. Dre’s odd production and Slim Shady’s excellent lyricism brings to life his depressing world. If I Had, 97 Bonnie & Clyde, Rock Bottom, Just Don’t Give a Fuck and Role Model are all dark, uncomfortable tracks boiling with frustration. Eminem introduces even more alter egos in the skits interspersed between tracks. Dre’s backing, Eminem created an album that is probably the most recent rap classic. No one was expecting a white rapper from Detroit to curbstomp the whole scene, but that’s exactly what happened. The Slim Shady LP was the first one to come out in 1999. Eminem’s duality trend goes back to his EPs Infinite and Slim Shady EP. The Slim Shady LP and The Marshall Mathers LP were released a year apart, but they are like two sides on the same coin, yin and yang, Batman and Joker, Jekkyl and Hyde…you get the picture. Dre, Eminem, Mark & Jeff Bass, Mel-Man, The 45 King, Bass Brothers
