My favorite album ever, but inapropriate. The songs are great, very personal. The tone is angry, upset, my favorite side of eminem. My favorite album ever, but not to appropriate.

Sure he swears a lot but he's the best rapper ever! Just buy the clean version and its A OK for kids!

but i love eminem very much

One of the best rap albums ever. Even though he cusses a lot and talks about not so good topics, it's still really good.

Em has improved so much! Its not dark and intense like encore but has a few songs for 'shock value' like drips. great album buy it. i love the songs like 'when the music stops.'

Well, The Eminem Show is a great album music-wise, but it is definitely not good language-wise. However, even if you have the clean versions of the songs, there is still a little bit of sexual reference. 13-year-olds are okay for this.

THERE ARE SO MANY AMAZING SONGS ON THE ALBUM YES HE DOES STRETCHTHE FREEDOM OF SPPECH FAR BUT HE HAS AMAZING TALENT THAT NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE YOU CANT DENY

You might want to listen to ''drips'' before you let your kid listen to it, if you can get through the whole song. Other songs are just fine. Sure you have the language and sexual behavior. However, It's the Slim Shady talking. Albums that have Eminem on the cover are better to start off with for anyone I think. If your child already into him don't make him/her stop listening to him now. If your child has only heard of him or listened to one of his songs on the radio and wants to get an album just know your child. Does he/she usually ''follow'' others or ''lead'' others? If one or the other suggest you tell them no to the Slim Shady albums or any that came out over four years ago. Your child should be okay listening to an album like this one The Eminem Show if he/she isn't a follower nor a leader. Yet a child who makes many of their own choices but doesn't make/try to get others to follow their ways. It's up to you. If your child is under 18. Also remember they can always wait a couple years when they mature and understand the songs. Parents' if you let your child listen to him go over his background and make sure they understand at least the direct things he's saying ( usually inapporite ). As well as the indirect topics ( usually better than direct ). Last make sure they know that even if he's 40 now. Some songs they hear were when he was younger and just wanted to rhyme words like a lot of rappers. I'm a fan, personally.

Out of all this CD's I think it is Eminem's Best, most of the songs are really good. There is a lot of swearing, but its nothing a 15+ hasnt heard. Overall, there is only one innapproprite song "Drips", which caused me to put an iffy.
