Eminem – The Slim Shady LP review

From the first time I heard Eminem (1997 on the ‘Slim Shady EP’) I was immediately a fan. I then checked out his album ‘Infinite’ which didn’t really grab me as much as the EP, but seeing as the EP was more recent I decided to keep a look out for any future appearances of his.

Eminem hasn’t failed in any way to impress me both on the singles that he’s dropped and the appearances that he’s made. During the last year Eminem has collaborated with everyone from Bizarre to Da Ruckus. None of his appearances have been disappointing which is also a good sign.

Eminem – Encore review

Has Eminem just lost it, or has he simply run out of ideas? Either way, Eminem’s highly anticipated release, “Encore”, is his worst album to date. With a combination of bland production, horrendous hooks and gimmicky concepts, “Encore” is a strange album that finds a confused Eminem. One moment Em sticks to his guns and produces his usual assortment of lyrically brilliant songs, while the next minute, he is consumed with producing childish and immature pop songs that will have every Hip Hop fan scratching his head. It is this fight between Em’s Hip Hop and pop side that ultimately divides the album, making for one of the most disappointing albums of the year.

Eminem – The Eminem Show review

“I used to like Eminem, until I got ‘The Real Slim Shady’ rammed down my throat, played to death. I mean, it was a good song, good lyrics etc. but I got sick of it, hearing it so much.” Well, that’s a stellar reason to no longer like an artist. You’d be surprised as to how many times I’ve heard words along those lines. It seems that as soon as an artist becomes successful, and the media takes over, noticing what sort of a draw the artist’s material has – that the artist all of a sudden has fallen off. Or has sold out. This doesn’t make too much sense to anyone who is able to see through the fog, but few seem able to penetrate the mist.

Summer Jam X

As the rain came pouring down on fifty five thousand fans in East Rutherford, New Jersey, for Hot 97’s Summer Jam 10, the world’s biggest Hip Hop artist Eminem, took the stage to a crowd heading for the exits. While Eminem has dominated the Hip Hop world ever since his introduction back on “The Slim Shady LP”, on June 3rd his accolades meant nothing to a stadium more concerned with seeing the hottest artist of the moment, 50 Cent.

8 Mile Soundtrack Review

In the last few weeks, this soundtrack has been the subject of a growing buzz about the possibility that this will be the greatest hip hop soundtrack of all time. 8 Mile was being tossed around with soundtracks like Above the Rim, Belly, Training Day and Boyz N Tha Hood. This hype was undoubtedly created by a leaked tracklist that included Jay-Z, Nas, Xzibit, Rakim, 50 Cent, D-12 and of course Eminem. Can it live up to the hype?

8 Mile Soundtrack Review

Looking at the “8 Mile Soundtrack’s” track listing one might think this album has the chance to be one of the greatest soundtracks ever released. 5 new Eminem tracks and brand new Xzibit, 50 Cent, Jay-z, Nas, Gangstarr and Rakim tracks! The lineup is simply amazing! However, looks can be deceiving and that’s exactly the story with the “8 Mile Soundtrack”.
