Is Eminem's The Marshall Mathers LP a Classic?

[be back in a bit]

Great rapping, lots of emotion, great production and beats, great guest spots. No shytty screaming voice except for when the songs called for it. I don't even fukk with Eminem but I can admit a classic when I see one. This one him at his best. And Stan is a great song.

 

[Revolutionary]

don't know

 

[Methodical]

Hell Yeah.

Eminem was in GOD mode in that album.

Everybdoy had everybody especially black people "This white boy got skills".

Whoever say this album is not classic is a hater.

 

[Starski]

As much as i think Em is allergic to making great music...yeah the shyt is a classic.

 

[razassin]

I see even some of the eminem haters giving this album the classic status....

"Stuck in a rock and a hard place
Eminem, pac and where God stay"

If kendrick posted on the coli hed be called a cac for his stannery

 

[EndDomination]

Yes, the album is a classic. It was very well-done, of the time, impressive lyrically, well-produced, original, had an incredible influence on hip-hop, sold well, catapulted Eminem to absolute stardom.
I don't like Eminem, nor the majority of his music, and I really only listened to the album a few times.
But it is a classic, not as a much a singular opinion as a general consensus..

My favorite is the Slim Shady LP

Let's see what thecoli thinks about this album... The full record is on youtube for anyone who hasnt heard it and wants to put his 2 cents in...

It's a classic. I didn't even like his first album and was mad that Dr. Dre was focusing on promoting this "m&m" and not working on producing a whole Snoop album. I eventually bought it after hearing "Stan.". Had to laugh when I heard that song that goes "Radio won't even play my songs..." This was when I was mostly listening to bay area/Sacramento artists like Brotha Lynch, X-Raided, Celly Cell, Dubee. THOSE guy's didn't get any radio play and here's this corny MTV pop rapper dissing other pop entertainers saying he gets no radio play? But after playing the album through I had to admit it was a good album, and even his version of "B Please" was better than the original.

this... I thought eminem was gimmicky and I didnt buy the sslp until i bought the mmlp... Of course I was like 12 at the time and the album seemed pretty dark to me at the time, which made it even better...

I grew up between jamaica queens and LI elmont, valley stream... N i remember a lotta black folk blastin' some of the songs from this album like the way I am...

 

[Digga38]

Hell no, he has no classics


But to cacs he's got about 4-5 undisputed classics

alot of times the so called negro acts and thinks just like white folk.....

to me its his only classic...

 

[capo]

the people have spoken. 15 years later and the nigs still mad this cac made a better album than 99% of your hip hop representatives. No album in the 2000's had the impact this LP did.


Your favorite black rapper probably studied the rhymes and hung the lyrics on their bedroom wall


Was just thinking back to that MTV performance when he brought out 100 white boys to perform the real slim shady.

They still mad

It is but I feel like it's aged terribly.

It is but I feel like it's aged terribly.

then how is it a classic? Isn't it just "famous album people heard at that time?"
