Any lingering doubts as to the depth of Eminem's skills or his potential for raw yet compelling honesty are dispelled on The Eminem Show's first track. Armed with a quicksilver flow and a thundering rhythm track (the record was exec produced by longtime mentor and partner Dr. Dre), "White America" finds Eminem ferociously mauling the hand that feeds him, lambasting his critics, the industry, and the racism that, in many ways, helped make Marshall Mathers more than just another rapper. "Let's do the math," Em sneers, "If I was black I would have sold half/ I could be one of your kids/ Little Eric looks just like this." After the bombast of The Marshall Mathers LP and Eminem's well-noted use of sexual epithets, this kind of material is made more controversial because it actually rings true. From a brutal retort to his long-estranged and equally troubled mother ("Cleaning Out My Closets") to a surprisingly tender ode to his child ("Hailie's Song"), Eminem examines his life, loves, arrests, addictions, failures, and successes with surprising insight, making this a funk-drenched hip-hop confessional well worth the hype. --Amy Linden

Eminem At His Most Intelligent March 1, 2010
Tyler S. (Brentwood, CA United States)
I would argue that this album has the most complicated rap poetry from Eminem, in comparison to all his other albums. He sticks to the subject and weaves intense rhymes with strong structure. Encore and Relapse are less composed and more "spit out", while the "Eminem Show" feels like it has been scripted and perfected for years. As with all Eminem albums, The Show contains some instant classics. For some people, theres more classics on this album because he takes his talent a little more seriously and puts out some heartfelt songs like "Hailie's Song" and "Cleanin Out My Closet." My favorite Eminem songs are the ones where he has a lot of fun and goes a little crazy. Since theres a little bit of a lack of that in this album, it's not my favorite, but I still go back and listen to some of my favorite songs.
Favorite Tracks: "Business", "Square Dance", "Say Goodbye Hollywood", definately "Without Me" and "Sing for the Moment." All these tracks are Slim flowing at his finest, with the best production the cd has to offer. That being said, I felt like the beat aspect on this album was a little dissapointing, but it didn't fail to deliver on my favorite tracks.
I will say that "The Eminem Show" is a great mixed bag for all types of people who like Eminem for different reasons. "Superman" appeals to a lot of women as well as men. "Soldier" and "Till I Collapse" are great for people who get motivation from music. So as you can see this album is a great sampler for Eminem, because everyone can connect with it in some way. I happened to like "Encore" and "Relapse" more, but "The Eminem Show" feels more orchestrated.
 satisfied! December 28, 2009

BEST RAP RECORD EVER- DESERVES 100 STARS December 14, 2009
Dave (Detroit)
Listening to this CD, 7 years later, I still maintain what I said back in 2002... this is THE greatest rap record of ALL time by ANY artist.
This is absolutely a timeless masterpiece from start to finish. Every single song is over the top. Best song of all = Sing for the Moment.
WORTH BUYING LIKE THE LAST 1. November 23, 2009
MAX JULIEN M.B. (LAS VEGAS, NEVADA)
I know everyone says the Marshall Mathers LP is the best Eminem album to date I tend to defer. Reason why he seems to have more story depth in his lyrics on this album. Because, of his rap superstardom, personal life, and legal troubles on this album than the Marshall Mathers LP album. Instead of talking about drugs, pistols, fags, his mom and, killing people. Em has tracks like "White America" Em raises the curtain to his Eminem show album with vengeance talking about the government and his rise and power to raps mountain top. "Sing For The Moment" and, "Say Goodbye Hollywood" take Marshall raps to a other plateau. Tracks I can listen to while working out, driving, chores, at work and playing Xbox cause of the endless energy Em brings to the mic. All of Shady/Aftermath/G-Unit production is A+ and the beats on this album go perfect with Em's lyrical content.
"Business" Marshall comes in on this track like a missed superhero here to save hip hop from watered down garbage mcees. "Square Dance" is one of my favorite songs on the album Em's flow is second to none other. "Soldier" I know this track carries alot of weight my friend was in the United States Marine Core said this was a favorite in there platoon in Iraq 2002. "Drips" featuring Obie Trice raps about catching STD's from dirty sanks. "Without Me" How boring the rap game is without Eminem involved talking shis. "Superman" Em raps about relationships with some groupie fluzy's. "Hailie's Song" Em raps about life and his daughter im feeling it. "When The Music Stops" nice beat featuring some fresh verses by D-12. "Till I Collapse" has to be one of Em's best songs he rocks the mic featuring Nate Dogg on the hook. 7 and a half years later and im still playing it thanks Em.
This is the album with Serious Eminem September 25, 2009
E. Soler Jr. (Bronx, New York)
I liked this album because eminem raps seriously in this one. with songs like "sing for the moment", "Cleaning out my closet", "white america " and so many others could really tell that eminem is no longer playing games and demands respect. One of my favorite songs on the album is "soldier" because of the anger he puts into it. So what you waiting for go and order this album.
