ALBUM TITLE: Marshall Mathers LP
RATING: Good
I can't tell what's more scary: the fact that this snivelling rapper tells his fans to go suck his dick, or the fact that these same fans sent this album rocketing into the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100, knocking off, oh Dear Lord, Britney Spears.
Okay, you have the bubblegum revolution of the year, punctuated by this annoyingly nasty white boy, who spits out rhymes with the best of them, but whose flow may eventually serve to get him killed.
This same bubblegum revolution builds up on Eminem. This is not to say the album itself is bad. "The Marshall Mathers LP" is chockful of catchy tunes, including that sizzling first single, "The Real Shady," that will send the temperatures of your nights driving down Fifth and Main soaring.
Fact is, it's these same Britney, 'N Sync and 98 Degrees lovers who bought his album. Eminem disses them, and their white-ass heroes as well. "Alienate everyone!" seems to be this guy's credo. And for a young white rapper to use these artists as fuck fodder is nothing short of trying-hard, sensationalist rap. It comes across as cloying, fishy, what's the word? FAKE. Even with Snoop, Dre and Bass on his side, Eminem will always be another bubblegum rap phenomenon. He'd better face up to it - and suck his own small-ass cock.
ADDENDUM: You'll notice that it's actually a picture of Wilson Phillips' "Shadows and Light" up there instead of the eminem album cover. Well, I haven't scanned the "marshall mathers LP" album cover yet and I kinda thought that "Shadows and Light" looks pretty. So sue me.
