shyt was one of the most bugged out & disturbing albums I heard, felt like a horror movie on wax. Album didn't age too well to be something you can play on the regular but at the time it was groundbreaking.. them Dre beats :ohlawd:

I can't remember my reaction at the time because I was young.

Now I understand it's one of the best reactionary pieces of art in history. Eminem was fighting for his existence and ended up with a masterpiece.

20 million worldwide bought that album. Thing about that for a second, 20 million.

I can't believe a trailer trash white boy could come up with something so ground breaking and smart.

get off his nuts a bit. the album is cool but masterpiece is pushing it, the replay value is dismal. i was about 18/19 my reaction was mainly :krs: there's a white MC that can actually spit! i had already bought SSLP before tho so i wasn't new to Em like a lot of people seemed to be back when MMLP dropped
