The Slim Shady LP (by Eminem, Rap)

Unlike Em's later albums, this one is entirely humor. References to violence are constant, ranging from the rapper killing his spouse to beating up bullies to shooting up schools. Beating up the bully is talked about in detail, but the actual murder references are mostly implied and always humorous. A lot of sex acts are referenced in somewhat explicit terms, but the only really strong one was a rape scene in one song (it's funny and ridiculously unrealistic, but it's still rape). Many songs have drug references, and one song has Shady rattle off nearly every drug you can possibly think of, but he later denies using most of them. Filthy language is used in nearly every song (the one exception being the anthem where he slits his wife's throat and then dumps her body off of a pier). There's not really anything positive besides some good beats and hilarious lyrics. To me, this seems more like an obscene, pitch-black comedy album than an actual rap album meant to be taken seriously (which is very different than most of the newer Eminem albums).

Everyone says its really innapproprite, but its not as bad as his 2nd album. Unlike those he doesnt't use the f-word in every song. But there is a lot of drug themes

Such a good album, one of my all time favorites. My favorites would have to be My Name Is, Guilty Conscience, Brain amage, '97 Bonnie & Clyde, Role Model, and Just Don't Give a F**k. I found it interesting that '97 Bonnie & Clyde doesn't have one swear word in it, yet I consider it the most evil song on the album. I would reccommend it for anyone my age and older, as long as they don't take it the wrong way. It's just music people.

This album is amazing\

You parents are too paranoid and think your daughter/son is going to kill someone because of this unless their stupid they will know that most of this album is a joke.

THIS ALBUM IS NOT MEANT TO BE TAKEN LITTERALLY AT ALL ITS MEANT AS A FUNNY TALENTED MAN TO GET RECOGNIZED THOGH IF YOU DONT WANT YOUR YOUNGEN TO BE SWEARING DEFINATELY DONT BUY IT
