Happy 24th birthday The Marshall Mathers LP, this album really got me into the genre and if I didn't hear it, I probably wouldn't be such a hip-hop head.. In your honor, Im listening to nothing but Eminem today :) again, happy birthday to the greatest album of the 2000s!

Guys, this cover is for the UK version, not the original release. But if you really like it so much, at least upvote a higher quality one. This one look like a bad scan.

I will forget hearing "who knew" for the first time at the beginning of 2017. It inspired me to listen to the entire record and that completely changed my perspective on music. It really is a lightning in a bottle movement.

Eminem is popular because Slim Shady is who every man wishes they were. I mean, why would you want to be a murderous drug addicted criminal though? Because you can do whatever you want as Slim Shady. If you having a problem with someone, you can just kill them. If your having a bad day you can just piss everyone off. If you want to have something you can just take it, regardless of the consequences. Marshall was a big comic book reader in his childhood and that’s where the idea of having an alter ego came from that, the mild mannered Clark Kent turns into the powerful Superman. Slim Shady is like a dark twisted version of that, instead of pursuing high ideals like “Truth, Justice & the American Way”, Slim Shady embraces his base instincts and Id and does whatever the fuck he wants, free from the expectations of society. People want to disown it cause it’s not polite, but if your honest, everyone has that darkness somewhere inside of them. That’s why the music still resonates.

More specially I feel like it was Em taking his darker impulses and turning them into something people could relate to and that could bring him success which ironically took him out the of the dark place he was at at the time. It’s definitely ambitious, you don't get the highest selling rap album of all time without ambition, but the ambition was integrating Slim Shady into the rapper Eminem to become successful instead of self destructing. Marshall Mathers is the man raging against the chaotic, senseless world that forces him to suffer, and Slim Shady is the man embracing the chaos of the world and surrendering his sanity and reason. Instead of falling into one or the other, he combines the two parts of himself to become the rapper Eminem. And then for the next ten years it would be Em finding himself again.

No future rap album will ever capture the insanity and uniqueness The Marshall Mathers LP gives off. This shit is historic as fuck and for sure one of the best Hip Hop albums ever.

The Eminem Show was still a good one, then he got lame for the most part IMO.

I found a YouTube video of what his old music would sound like if it was made today. It’s… really something https://youtu.be/WtFNOSTTPYg

My favorite line was “like we don’t know how fucked in the world is when we hit the fourth grade and hear guns popping off in the hallway”

Possibly the best album to have ever been released on May 23rd, better known as World Turtle Day, best day of the year, turtles are great. All of them. All of the turtles are great. Ever met a turtle that wasn't great? I haven't ever met a turtle that wasn't great. I've also never met a turtle. I wish there was some songs on here about turtles, would have been a great momento to World Turtle Day's 10th anniversary. Turtles are great.

This is just completely off the top of the head with no research but I believe While it is widely rumored that common snapping turtles can bite off human fingers or toes, and their powerful jaws are more than capable of doing so, no proven cases have ever been presented for this species, as they use their overall size and strength to deter would-be predators.[31] Common snapping turtles are "quite docile" animals underwater that prefer to avoid confrontations rather than provoke them.[31] In 2002, a study done in the Journal of Evolutionary Biology found that the common snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentina) registered between 208 and 226 Newtons of force when it came to jaw strength. In comparison, the average bite force of a human (molars area) is between 300 and 700 Newtons.[32][33] Another non-closely related species known as the alligator snapping turtle has been known to bite off fingers, and at least three documented cases are known.[34]
