On a similar tip to the Outkast post, just a little compilation of Marshall being funny, being angry and generally tearing your favourite rapper a new one:
The title track from his first album/mixtape/demo - not sure what to call it as they only pressed a few hundred copies - sounding more like philosopher-Nas than nutjob-Shady. Apparently he hadn't gone crazy yet in '96, but you can hear the delivery's there.
Rock Bottom (Slim Shady LP)
Never been one for depression, but this is the perfect song for wallowing in self-pity. You can feel Marshall's pain on this one!
Role Model (Slim Shady LP)
Dre beats perfect & punchlines seldom hit harder.
Remember Me (Marshall Mathers LP)
Ideal for angst-ridden teens, Sticky Fingaz kills it.
Marshall Mathers
Title track on the MM LP. Em at his best: venting about all the bullshit.
Drips (The Eminem Show)
Pretty disgusting, but definitely the best safe sex PSA I've ever come across!
Yellow Brick Road (Encore)
One of the all-time best story-telling raps i.m.o., over one of his better beats. Says more in five minutes than most rappers over the course of a 16 track album.
...Though he did kinda fall off on that last record. To be fair, he did say:
"full of controversy until I retire my jersey,
'til the fire inside dies and expires at thirty"
and no matter what Hov says, thirty is kinda old in rap terms. Still, can't say I wouldn't look forward to another LP.
