Review

It's all about the title. First time around, Eminem established his alter ego, Slim Shady -- the character who deliberately shocked and offended millions, turning Eminem into a star. Second time at bat, he turned out The Marshall Mathers LP, delving deeper into his past while revealing complexity as an artist and a personality that helped bring him an even greater audience and much, much more controversy. Third time around, it's The Eminem Show -- a title that signals that Eminem's public persona is front and center, for the very first time. And it is, as he spends much of the album commenting on the media circus that dominated on his life ever since the release of Marshall Mathers. This, of course, encompasses many, many familiar subjects -- his troubled childhood; his hatred of his parents; his turbulent relationship with his ex-wife, Kim (including the notorious incident when he assaulted a guy who allegedly kissed her -- the event that led to their divorce); his love of his daughter, Hailie; and, of course, all the controversy he generated, notably the furor over his alleged homophobia and his scolding from Lynne Cheney, which leads to furious criticism about the hypocrisy of America and its government. All this is married to a production very similar to that of its predecessor -- spare, funky, fluid, and vibrant, punctuated with a couple of ballads along the way. So, that means The Eminem Show is essentially a holding pattern, but it's a glorious one -- one that proves Eminem is the gold standard in pop music in 2002, delivering stylish, catchy, dense, funny, political music that rarely panders (apart from a power ballad "Dream On" rewrite on "Sing for the Moment" and maybe the sex rap "Drips," that is). Even if there is little new ground broken, the presentation is exceptional -- Dre never sounds better as a producer than when Eminem pushes him forward (witness the stunning oddity "Square Dance," a left-field classic with an ominous waltz beat) and, with three albums under his belt, Eminem has proven himself to be one of the all-time classic MCs, surprising as much with his delivery as with what he says. Plus, the undercurrent of political anger -- not just attacking Lynne Cheney, but raising questions about the Bush administration -- gives depth to his typical topics, adding a new, spirited dimension to his shock tactics as notable as the deep sentimental streak he reveals on his odes to his daughter. Perhaps the album runs a little too long at 20 songs and 80 minutes and would have flowed better if trimmed by 25 minutes, but that's a typical complaint about modern hip-hop records. Fact is, it still delivers more great music than most of its peers in rock or rap, and is further proof that Eminem is an artist of considerable range and dimension. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

The Eminem Show is the fourth studio album by Eminem, released in 2002.

The Eminem Show was the best-selling album of 2002. At the Grammy Awards of 2003 it was nominated for Album of the Year and became Eminem's third LP in four years to win the award for Best Rap Album. It has been certified 9× Platinum by the RIAA, with over 9.7 million copies sold in the U.S. and over 19 million albums worldwide.[11] In 2003, the album was ranked number 317 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. Even though most critics and listener polls said that his previous two albums (The Slim Shady LP and The Marshall Mathers LP) were his magnum opus, some critics, say The Eminem Show is his greatest work. It is arguably his most successful album, but only when it came to singles not sales. The Eminem Show was Eminem's first album to be produced mainly by him, and was the first Eminem album to be released under Shady Records.

Release

The Eminem Show was first scheduled for a June 2002 release; however pirated and bootleg copies appeared online on peer-to-peer networks and began surfacing on the streets. Interscope decided to release the album early on May 28 to combat bootlegging. However, many stores in the U.S. began selling it early on Sunday May 26. Despite the confusion over the exact release date, the album still managed to have a wildly successful debut on the charts. The album sold 1.32 million copies in its first full week of sales. The Eminem Show was Eminem's most successful album in terms of charting singles. It spawned two top-ten and four top fifteen singles with "Without Me", "Cleanin' Out My Closet", "Sing For The Moment" and "Superman", which managed to reach the top ten without a video counterpart. "Business" was also released as an airplay single but did not chart as high as the others. "White America" was also a single off the controversial album. "Hailie's Song" was also an airplay single just like "White America" except there was no music video for it.

Content

Subject matter

The Eminem Show is a reflective album, featuring a more personal and serious side of Eminem. This change gives the album a lighter tone, a departure from the hardcore and controversial nature of his previous albums. One of the most noticeable changes was the big and lighter change of lyrics in the album. For example, in his previous album, The Marshall Mathers LP, a song of hatred is called "Kill You", and there is another one called "Kim", which is aimed at his ex-girlfriend/wife. But in The Eminem Show, he is talking about America, which makes him mad, but not the other way around. Some lyrics talk about God. In "Sing for the Moment", he also talks about poverty. Over the course of the album, he touches on the issues of race in hip hop ("White America"), his childhood ("Cleanin' Out My Closet"), the United States Government, army, and terrorism ("Square Dance"), his 2000 assault on a nightclub bouncer and his following conviction ("Soldier"), him coming to terms with fate and how he sold his soul to money, fortune and fame, realizing that fame isn't worth it ("Say Goodbye Hollywood"), his status as a both a hip hop and pop superstar ("Sing for the Moment"), and his relationship with his ex-wife Kim and daughter Hailie ("Hailie's Song"). Also, the song ("Say What You Say") featuring Dr. Dre is a diss towards Jermaine Dupri. Unlike The Marshall Mathers LP, The Eminem Show's release came off without significant complaints about misogyny or homophobia. Also, no tracks are explicitly offensive or misogynistic in the mold of "Kill You" or "Kim" from the previous album. Some shock-oriented and extremely explicit lyrics are still present (for example, "Drips" was so explicit that it was completely removed in the clean version of the album – though it is still listed in the track listing and is instead four seconds of silence, before "Without Me" starts), but they are for the most part toned down. "Hailie's Song" censors "abort her" when he says "God, I'm a daddy, I'm so glad that her mom didn't abort her".[12] Also, in "White America", in Eminem's speech the word "flag" is backmasked when he says "To burn the flag and replace it with a parental advisory sticker". Q Magazine's May, 2006 review of the album explains "His two first albums aired dirty laundry, then the world's most celebrated rapper examined life in the hall of mirrors he'd built for himself."

Production

The album also saw Eminem take a substantially more predominant production role; most of it was self-produced, with longtime collaborator Jeff Bass co-producing several tracks. Dr. Dre, in addition to being the album's executive producer, produced three individual tracks: "Business", "Say What You Say", and "My Dad's Gone Crazy".

Trivia

  • In the skit "The Kiss", the song "Everybody's Looking at Me" by Eminem is playing on the radio. "Everybody's Looking at Me" was done originally for the The Wash soundtrack but didn't make the final cut.
  • In the skit "Steve Berman" the song "Ain't Nuttin' But Music" by D12 from Devil's Night is playing in the background.
  • In the song "White America" at the very end of the song Eminem laughs and says, "I'm just playin' America you know I love you." which is a blatant reference the previous album Marshall Mathers LP song "Kill You" when he says the exact same phrase except substituting the word 'America' for 'ladies' in which he assures the audience that he was not serious. On 2009's Relapse he says, at the end of My Mom, "Sorry mom... I still love you though".
  • The song "Stimulate" was originally slated to appear on the album, but was replaced by "Say Goodbye Hollywood".[citation needed] "Stimulate" eventually appeared as the B-side to the "Cleanin' Out My Closet" single.
  • In the song "Hailie's Song", the word "abort" is censored from the line "I'm so glad her mom didn't abort her".
  • It was Dr. Dre who convinced Eminem to include "Hailie's Song" on The Eminem Show. Dre played the song to two of his female friends and when they cried he was convinced that it should be included on Eminem's album. Eminem had originally planned on just keeping the track in a safe for Hailie to listen to when she grows up. He was embarrassed to have it released at first.
  • Many parts of "Square Dance" were written on the set of Eminem's movie 8 Mile.
  • The title, The Eminem Show, was created when Paul Rosenberg (Eminem's manager) told Eminem that his life was "like the fucking Jerry Springer show."
  • "Hailie's Song" was supposed to contain an interpolation from "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" by George Harrison, but George's widow retracted George's permission. Eminem had to redo the entire song. He then admitted that it was a good thing he didn't do it, and that he didn't want to "ruin a good song" by his "favorite member of The Beatles".
  • Hailie came up with the hook to "My Dad's Gone Crazy" while Eminem was mixing "Soldier"; Hailie was there playing and said "Somebody please help me".
  • The song 'Till I Collapse was used by UFC fighter C.B. Dollaway as his entrance song when he fought at the finale of The Ultimate Fighter 7.
  • The song 'Till I Collapse was used as the entrance song for Martin Kampmann at UFC 88
  • The song 'Till I Collapse was used as the entrance song for UFC fighter Nate Diaz at UFC 94
  • The song 'Till I Collapse has been used in commercials for the video game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
  • The song 'Till I Collapse was used as the closing song for the Oscar De La Hoya vs Manny Pacquiao 24/7 mini series.
  • A limited edition of the album includes a bonus DVD with concert footage, a music video, an episode of the Slim Shady Show, and a trailer for 8 Mile.
  • It was named the 25th greatest album of 2000's by Complex Magazine . [35]
