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).

Eminem is one excellent rapper, but this cd is not something I would recommend to children under 17. Some songs contain long lists of profanity like "Just Don't give a F***." There are also graphically violent lines including "F*** slitting her throat, cut this b***h's head off." There are also drug material as well as explicit sexuality. Not recommended for those who don't like explicit rated things. This is all around bad behavior and R-rated material.

This album is amazing\

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.

i have all the songs on my iPod except for the skits(eww, ken kaniff).the album is great. i love it. my name is, still don't give a f--k and rock bottom, bonnie and clyde, guilty conscience and just don't give a f--k are my favorites. however, every song is good. but there's a lot of explicit stuff. f--k is all over the place, lots of drugs, rape, and throat slitting. great album though.

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.

i head the song not with the vid but i heard the DIRTY version it has the f word and every other bad word you can think of

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
