CMJ SSLP-edited REVIEW
After burning up the underground
with his scorching debut single, "I Just Don't Give A F***,"
Marshall Mathers (aka Eminem) reluctantly took on the title of hip-hop's
Great White Hope. Pairing Redman's gutter humor and metaphorical dexterity
with Canibus' raging themes, the Detroit native has matched the high expectations
surrounding his brilliant new album. Doing his mentor Dr. Dre proud, Eminem
follows the N.W.A. heritage and leaves even the raunchiest MCs shocked
as he weaves poignant tales of the abused outsider with the compelling
twists of a Slick Rick track. From the rugged confession "Guilty
Conscience" to the radio-friendly "My Name Is...," Eminem
drops dope lyrics over DJ Muggs-inspired productions.
