Eminem - The Eminem Show

<< < (4/6) > >>

Murrow:
Shit, "Soldier" is almost a classic.  Em comes hard and every bar he spits is memorable.  I love this song...

"I spit it slow so these kids now I'm talkin' to 'em/Give it back to these dam critics and sock it to 'em."

Swiss:
i think hailies song is the best on the album.. thats coz im not really into eminem  :P
good album but.. id give it 4/5

verbalassaulta:
i have never really been much of an eminem fan...i always thought he was living off of dre's production...but this album is really really dope....i have listened to it for three weeks straight and im still not sick of it...and em's production is better than dre's here...dope dope album...the best in the past year or so......9/10

Kill:
Curtains Up

White America
Eminem analyzes his situation as a white rapper in America, coming up with some really tight and intelligent lyrics and a beat that sounds alot like rock, but it's dope...4.5/5

Business
Nice track, nice beat (the only Dre-produced track on this album), nice rhymes, but nothing really incredible. I listened to it again and again though, it's kind of catchy...4/5

Cleaning Out My Closet
Eminem's first really serious song about his mother with a dark beat and an amazing third verse. The most important thing about this song is that it does actually sound completly honest...4.5/5

Square Dance
A very special beat combined with quite special lyrics dissing the government and Canibus. Whether you like this or not is probably a matter of taste, even if you're a Eminem fan. I do...4/5

The Kiss

Soldier
This song's got a pretty dark beat and pretty dark lyrics, not really a track that's important for the album as a whole, but good...3.5/5

Saying Goodbye To Hollywood
Good lyrics, Eminem raps about the stuff he often raps about on this album, his life and why he makes albums. Maybe one of the most typical songs for this album...4/5

Drips
A story about hoes & AIDS, the whole thing kinda reminded me of Devil's Night (the album, not the song), Em shows his skills, but I was disappointed in Obie Trice, he sounds like some average MC on this to me...3/5

Without Me
Eminem said that himself and I say it too, this is probably the song that sounds most like it was off an older Slim Shady album. The lyrics are funny, the beat's good...4/5

Paul Rosenberg

Sing For The Moment
Musically this might not be straight hip hop, even though I personally like it, but lyrically this is a masterpiece. Eminem drops some really memorable verses about kids listening to him and fucked up American families...5/5

Superman
I don't like this one much either. There's too much of that (annoying) chorus and not enough good rhymes on here. The beat really got on my nerves after listening to it couple times and the only verse I liked was the third one...2.5/5

Hailie's Song
Some people might like to hear Eminem singing, at first I did so too, but I got bored of it pretty soon. Still a cute song...3.5/5

Steve Berman

When The Music Stops
Good song featuring D-12, they don't rap about bullshit this time, but about life as rappers...4/5

Say What You Say
A JD diss featuring Dre, not bad, but Dre is simply too clumsy to live up to Eminem as a rapper, the beat is tight though and the diss is nice...3.5/5

Till I Collapse
Now this song's got an amazing beat. Simple but amazing. Plus it's got cool lyrics and Nate Dogg's chorus fits in perfectly...5/5

My Dad's Gone Crazy
This song features Hailie Jade and that already makes itfunny even if all she does is saying a few words. Though Em's 6 year old daughter's on it it's one of the rawest songs on the whole album...3.5/5

Curtains Close

Overall rating...9.1/10
