the second eminem albm is one of the best
that's right second eminem album not debut, beacuase in fact this is his secind album. hiss ifrst one is a rare underground album that came out in 1996, called eminem infinite. aside the slim shady lp is a dark twisted party album. there is nothing excepptionally dark on this album. the album is so funny especially my name is which makes me laugh.

i listened to a CLEAN version of "my name is" and they had the words ***hole, t*t, and d**n along with several drug references: "i figured out my mom was doing more dope than i did" "i said i'd make a album about drugs and name it after her" he also mentions a strip club. The song is so wierd that it's obvious that m&m is on soimething, and alot of it. I'd hate to hear the un-cleaned version. Not for under 18

Great album, Em's best.
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.

One of the Tamest Eminem CDs
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

slim's best album tied (to eminem show)
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.

Parents
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.

for 13 and up
it was agreat album!!!!!!!!!!but i think it should only be listened to by 13 and up because there is extrmly strong language and violent content and one son (97 bonnie and clyde) no bad worbs but its about him killing his wife

great rapper
he cusses in every single song and talks about sex related stuff in the music. his songs are really good, but not good for people my age.

Good
This song is really good. I only have listened to the clean version which bleeps or silences the bad parts in the song. I don't see any violence. (sorry of it says so in the circle pictures). But there is sexual stuff and lots of language. But in the clean version you don't hear much language.

Excellent but mature
What some people don't understand is that Eminem's early albums were meant to vulgar and messed up. He did it to purposely show his alter-ago, Slim Shady, a crazy alcoholic daredevil character. Just because it's explicit doesn't meant it's bad music. You can't discard it. This album is lyrically genius, it flows well and delivers a story. If you're mature they're isn't a reason you should listen to it.

SLIM SHADY
He raps about horrible things, but the way it comes out of his mouth, it just sounds funny and awesome. GO SLIM SHADY!!! P.s. All the stuff he talks about is made up and he never actually did it. (Except for Brain Damage, part of that actually happened)
