The Slim Shady LP
The Slim Shady LP is the second studio album and major-label debut by American rapper Eminem, released on February 23, 1999 by Aftermath Entertainment and Interscope Records. Recorded in Ferndale, Michigan, following Eminem's recruitment by Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine, the album features production from Dr. Dre, the Bass Brothers, and Eminem himself. The majority of the album's lyrical content is written from the perspective of the rapper's alter ego Slim Shady, whom the rapper created on the Slim Shady EP (1997). The lyrics are noted for their over-the-top depictions of violence and heavy use of profanity. Wikipedia

Rolling Stone
Eminem earns his buzz as a bona fide rap star one tasteless insult at a time

Genius
Marshall Mathers sets himself up nicely for a great career

All Music
it's those lyrical skills and the subtle mastery of the music that still resonate, and they're what make The Slim Shady LP one of the great debuts in both hip-hop and modern pop music
-
AV Club
his surreal, ultraviolent, trailer-trash/post-gangsta-rap extremism is at least a breath of fresh air in a rap world that's despairingly low on new ideas
-

Idolator
it was obvious he left none of his personal demons unused to craft the fascinating, hilarious and horrifying insanity that coalesced into the album’s dark core

Pioneer Reviews
The rhyme scheme on that entire album was incredibly clever.
-
LA Times
The only thing hindering the album is a sometimes flat production that takes away from the power of Eminem's verbal mayhem.

The songs are amazing with awesome beats and sick lyrics that will make your head spin.
