The Marshall Mathers LP (by Eminem, Rap)

An excellent album, but it is super profane and violent. If you do not like offensive content, you do not have to listen to it. Period.

It's a great album, but it does have objectional lyrics. Actually more objectional and messed up than the average rap album.

holy moly i heard and have songs, criminal, kill u, real slim shady,stan and way i am. Rated R for drug references, sexuality, persuasive language and strong comic violence.

Slims most innaproprite. It includes nonstop language, sexual refrences, and brutal violence. This is not for kids in any way. There is a song about drugs. Unedited:R for pervasive language, descriptions of brutal violence, some sexual comments and drug refrences. Edited: PG-13 for nonstop language and some crude and sexual content

i am a huge eminem fan but i only liked a couple of songs on this album

this is a really good album... eminem is an exceptionally talented rapper (not to mention he's REALLY hot) and the marshall mathers LP is one of his best. i'm not sure it's right for kids my age, unless you don't mind him saying f*ck and all that other stuff every 5 seconds and explicit descriptions of violence (the song "kim" especially. it was a song about him murdering his wife with a whole lot of screaming) and drugs (the song "drug ballad" was completely self-centered on his past drug addiction) and sex (he raps about homosexuals and all other random stuff having to do with sex). his songs are hard to understand if you're younger than 13 i would say. and i really doubt many parents will approve of this. but anyway, over all i love his music and i have all his albums, so i guess it's ok.

In "Stan" Eminem uses "Hey Slim, I've drank a fifth of vodka, dare me to drive?" But that is all. Eminem usually uses bad launguage.

Rap isn't music to start with. I think anyone that can't make music and talks over a drum beat (study music theory, this isn't music) is too STUPID to be a legitimate role model for your child. Studies show rock and classical take far higher IQs to understand. I just don't see why you'd let your kid listen to intellectually inferior GARBAGE! I was very upset to read the headline " 'Art' at it's darkest" when art takes creativity and brainpower to make. Eminem is a mindless idiot with nothing better to do with his waste of a life than write sexist illiterate rants...

It is a good album but as Eminem says many times he is not a role model and does not claim to be. This is a warning: DO NOT LET YOUR YOUNGER KIDS LITEN TO THIS!! Yes I am a fan of Eminem but I do not think that kids should listen to this album. By the time your children reach middle school, they will have probably heard worse, so they can probably handle it.
