Once I found that out this morning, I decided to put this album in for a spin for the first time since 2001/02. I remember when this album dropped, the summer of 00 could've been retitled the summer of Eminem because you couldn't go anywhere without hearing dozens of white people bumping it or turn on the tv without seeing Em on MTV or BET.
Rap was once again thrown into the political spotlight with politicians throwing shade at it and I always remember the funny interviews with non rap artists when they were randomly asked about the album.
Songs I still like: "Kill You," "Stan." "I'm Back," "Remember Me?," "The Way I Am," "Marshall Mathers," "bytch Please 2," and "Criminal." I never cared for the first big single "The Real Slim Shady" and "Kim" is hard to listen to now.
. That may have to do with the fact that I'm two decades older now.
Most consider this to be his best work, but I remember that I liked two of his other albums (SSLP and TES) a a lot more (although to be fair, I haven't listened to TES in a decade either.) It's nice to remember a time where Em wasn't a glorified male version of Rachel Maddow with a beard.
Anyway, this should be a good discussion if it picks up. Any reflections on the album now that it's turned two decades old?
