A couple of minor complaints are the repetition of content, namely rants against his mother and the whole Slim Shady antic on My Dads Gone Crazy. In Say What U Say, he and Dre declare war on Jermaine Dupri and Canibus. In Sing For The Moment, he discusses how music has suddenly become an influence on kids because they can relate and how one should not take things so seriously. In Soldier, he recalls the violent rage in him before and during the attack but in Say Goodbye Hollywood, he regrets doing that saying that his wife would have cared less and that he could be imprisoned thus stalling his career and affecting his relationship with his daughter. He recalls his assault on a bouncer after he allegedly saw him kiss his wife. He criticizes the Bush administration in Square Dance for its decision to send soldier s to Iraq. He goes from criticizing the common views against white rappers and to his success making keen observations that his color helped him gain fame. Taking more control over the production (Dre produced only 3 tracks), Eminem makes lyrical assaults on many including George Bush, rap critics, pop stars, Kim, and his mother. After selling millions and millions of records, everyone wondered whether Eminem Show lived up to expectations.

The Eminem Show is the retrospect of his career. Marshall Mathers LP gave the world Em's personal side while mixed with comic and satirical content. Slim Shady LP introduced the world to Eminem, a crude, white maniac with exceptional rhyming skills. I found it was definitely worth my money. However, if you are easily upset or offended, this album may not be right for you. Some people say he disrespects women with his lyrics, but I'm a female and I'm not too offended. This aside, the rhymes are brilliant and deal with real-world issues like controversy, sexually transmitted diseases, the effects of drugs, politic s, and fighting with ex-girlfriends.

The lyrics are usual Eminem style, bringing lots of foul words and sexual concepts into the songs. It's great that a rapper as popular as Eminem stays focused on his daughter, as well as his music and money. Hailie even has voice parts on a few tracks. The Eminem Show has lots of lyrics about Hailie, Eminem's daughter, and Kim, his now ex-wife. Always a friend of controversy, you'll find lots of that with this album - but in a meaningful and often eye-opening way. He lays down rhymes with lots of style and good beats. The Eminem Show proves to be yet another good release by the controversial white rapper, Marshall Mathers, a.k.a.
