Marshall Mathers LP

Over the past five years, there has been no other artist who has been more controversial and in the middle of numerous debates in society than Eminem. When he broke into the mainstream of radio stations all over the country in 1997, people were shocked at first with his lyrics and some wondered if he was serious when he brought up issues in his songs such as homosexuality, domestic abuse, drug abuse, and suicide. His songs raised eyebrows at first and had censors all over the country frantically trying to stop him from saying the things that were on his mind. His first album was very successful and went m

The claims he makes on this album aren’t the literal claims in the issues he talks about, but instead his claims come out indirectly in his lyrics. His claim is basically that artists should be able to express themselves in whatever manner they feel necessary as long as they don’t infringe on the rights of others, which is the basic principle of our democracy.

He even tells his audience on this album that the things he says aren’t necessarily what he believes and the events he talks about he doesn’t actually do, but instead he is just being an artist which means thinking of new ideas to bring up. He loves the idea of being at the center of the media and it played right into his hands on this album as he went multi-platinum again and is one of the most successful rap artists of all time.
