Editorial Reviews :
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 longtime mentor and 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.
Buyer Reviews :
As an 'Eminem Show' owner for about 7 months, I have to say that this album still remains a favorite. Almost every track caught my attention right away and unlike most albums I've bought, has stayed in my cd changer for more than six months. Because of the substantial amount of material on the 'eminem show,' it always seems to keep me entertained and my head bumping. For the most part, each track has a different beat, with special attention on 'haile's Song,' easily Eminem's best (and maybe only) ballad, in which he shows no shame in displaying he has some ability to sing. Also special notice to 'cleaning out my closet' as one of the songs that has potential to become one of his signatures. Overall, the album brings about Eminem-sympathizers, a previously impossible task.
