Any lingering doubts as to the depth of Eminem's skills or his potential for raw yet compelling honesty are dispelled on The Eminem Show's first track. Armed with a quicksilver flow and a thundering rhythm track (the record was exec produced by longtime mentor and partner Dr. Dre), "White America" finds Eminem ferociously mauling the hand that feeds him, lambasting his critics, the industry, and the racism that, in many ways, helped make Marshall Mathers more than just another rapper. "Let's do the math," Em sneers, "If I was black I would have sold half/ I could be one of your kids/ Little Eric looks just like this." After the bombast of The Marshall Mathers LP and Eminem's well-noted use of sexual epithets, this kind of material is made more controversial because it actually rings true. From a brutal retort to his long-estranged and equally troubled mother ("Cleaning Out My Closets") to a surprisingly tender ode to his child ("Hailie's Song"), Eminem examines his life, loves, arrests, addictions, failures, and successes with surprising insight, making this a funk-drenched hip-hop confessional well worth the hype. --Amy Linden

Third Strike - at his Critics.......2007-06-26
White America - Em muses on his success any mabye it having a lot to do with him being a white rapper and so accessbile to more fans.
Business - very bouncy and catchy rhythm. Dr. Dre is featured. A fun tune to hop along with.
Cleanin Out my Closet - a big blast at his mom
Soldier - different sound to it, fast and nervous, edgy like something's about to go down and the rapper is jonesing
Drips - slow, kinda languid rap about STD
Sing for the Moment - mixes Em's raps with the Aerosmith tune. Works well. Em says you gotta reach out and grab your chance
When the Music Stops - excellent fast and chaotic tune featuring a lot of guest rappers. Looks at how a lot of rappers have let the craziness of their music seep over into their lives and the line is blurred, with tragic consequences in the real world.
My Dad's Gone Crazy - excellent tune about Em and his experiences growing up/coming up and how important his music is. He states in this tune that he'll never stifle himself for the critics. Lots of anger in this one, well directed into energy.

EMINEM INFINITE (1996)
Eminem ProductGroup: Music Binding: Audio CD Similar Items:
ASIN: B000N0SYZU |
Product Description
Infinite represents Eminem the way he was in his younger years: a young man in search of true love as the song « Searchin» fully reveals it. A young man facing a lot of financial problems and trying to feed his family. When you have been yourself through similar difficulties, you will be able to relate to songs like « Its ok ». 313 gives us the taste of a « sweet emcee from the 313 ». « Maxine » also belongs to the well written songs of the album. Marshalls sincerity all over Infinite is so touching. But it seems that it wasnt enough. Despite the huge efforts, he had put into his album, people reproached him to sound like Nas. The public wanted something else, something biting that Eminem gave them with the Slim Shady EP and the Slim Shady LP. Although people wont unanimously agree on Infinite, Id advice any true Eminem fan to check the album if he hasnt done it yet- at least for the great lyrics written by Marshall Mathers.Customer Reviews:
Realy good lyrics........2007-06-01
The Essence of Hip-Hop - - D-E-S-E-R-V-E-S E-V-E-R-Y S-T-A-R.......2007-03-28
That said, the overall vibe of this album has an undeniable old school quality to it, even though it was released in '96. The beats are infectious and sound fresh even to this day, and eminem actually had something to say. He was hungry, relied on clever wordplay and worthwhile stories that not only reflected his life at the time, but also portrayed every day happenings that he had probably grown accustomed to seeing.
"Maxine" is about how a prostitute will lie & leave you with disease if you're dumb enough to believe she's clean. Some nice production here.
"Never 2 Far" portrays eminems ambitions to make money in the rap industry. The difference between him and other rappers is that he comes correct with clever wordplay and flow, and each verse eases nicely into the chorus, to the point where you don't even realize his technique of merging the two.
"Searchin" continues this idea except this time he's pouring out emotions as well as his lust for a lost love. Again undeniably sick wordplay and flow, with a guest appearance from a friend.
"Infinite", perhaps the strongest track on the album is also one of the sickest instances of pure lyrical destruction that i've ever heard. Not a lyric is wasted throughout, and every line effortlessly connects to the next. ("My rhymin' skills got you climbin' hills, i travel through your mind into your spine like siren drills."). This is hip-hop that actually requires thinking to understand everything he's saying, and when you do it's a real eye opener.
"Open Mic" flosses a sick beat and funny intro, and eminem rips the beat to sh*t. It's a toss up between this and "Infinite" for best track on the album. ("You couldn't flip shit playin' in toilets with a spatula.")
"It's Ok" must be heard to believe. His style is so natural you'd think he was somehow cheating. Again the wordplay is unmatched by today's "standards" of what a hip-hop song should entail.
A inevitable gripe with this album that most heads will notice is Eminems questionable approach to riding the beat. At times he certainly seems off if you listen closely, yet he also seems right on because of the way he flows in and out of the chorus, with an uncanny ear for the smallest nuances of the beat.
Bottom line: it's shocking that few people have heard this album. This was undoubtedly a different side of Eminem, when few people knew about him and his rage hadn't come out yet. If you're a hip-hop head you will probably appreciate this album for what it is, Beats, Rhymes and Storytelling ability.
The rhymes absolutely blow my mind on this album........2007-02-26
His best album. I seriously mean that........2007-02-24

Call me crazy..........2007-07-18
It seems to be his most mature and personal cd to date. The bonus dvd that comes with it is awesome too. It has live footage and an episode from the slim shady show,which is hilarious by the way.
This cd is still pissed off kind of like the marshall mathers lp,but this one is a little mature and personal. This is in response to all the bad publicity and bad responses to his first 2 major label cds,espicially the marshall mathers lp.I can honestly say that i actually like about every track on this cd,just like the slim shady lp. On the marshall mathers lp i liked them all except for 2,one of the 2 b/c snoop dog was on it and i can stand him. Eminem takes his anger out on kinds of issues and topics on here,you really just have to spin over and over to get a lot of it.
My favorite tracks would have to be,White America,Business,Soldier,Say Goodbye To Hollywood,Drips,Without Me,Sing Foe Tha Moment,Superman,When The Music Stops and 'Till I Collapse! Even though all the tracks are good and well written and well produced. Like i said earlier, it took me a few years to really get into this one, b/c at first i liked his 3 better,but now this one is probably my favorite one now!
If you like Eminem at all, get into this one, this one rules!
Awesome.......2005-02-14
I love you EMINEM.
Solid Album- There are some ignorant reviewrs.......2004-08-12
Overall the album was solid, though it seemed to be to comercail for eminem. The Marshal Mathers LP was a higher time for eminem with more feeling and thought was put into the album.The Eminem show is a great album to own.
the eminem what?.......2004-05-12
music is better.Eminem can't rap, he sounds like a wannabe rapper,exaggerating this cd with tons of swear words. Basically I do not understand the songs square dance, soldier,drips and the kiss. Relates nothing about him.The rest of the songs are ok eg:business, claening out my closet, say goodbye to hollywood,superman, hailie's song blah blah blah. I think eminem can come up with something better.All's not lost though, some songs are bubblin.But the others should rest in a time capsule. Not bad. But im not recommending it.
best album everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!.......2004-04-09
