Eminem

Will the real Slim Shady please stand up? On Eminem's sophomore album, he can't decide who he wants to be: the deranged pseudo-psycho of the Slim Shady LP, or a nice guy who just likes to rhyme about slicing and dicing his girlfriend ("Kim"). Of course, according to Eminem, he's just kidding. He refuses to take responsibility for the misogynistic, homophobic bile he spews, whining that he's the victim of people who don't get his unique sense of humor. It's good old America's fault if the kids aren't alright (Eminem blames bad parenting), and he's just capitalizing on Uncle Sam's dark side. On the Marshall Mathers LP, he's ambivalent about his fame, angry at his life, pissed off that people take him seriously, and fightin' mad at boy bands–and a lot of other white people.

Eminem has released a deluxe edition of his most recent LP Music to Be Murdered By. In the vein of Lil Uzi Vert’s Eternal Atake deluxe edition LUV vs. The World 2, Music to Be Murdered By - Side B is actually a full-on sequel album with a new collection of 16 songs. It features Dr. Dre, who appears on “Guns Blazing” and co-produced “She Loves Me” and “Discombobulated.” Ty Dolla $ign, DJ Premier, and Skylar Gray also appear on the album.
