Social criticism

Social criticism wrapped in rap music
Sets you up with the LP "The Marshal Mathers LP" apart, must not remain hanging on the facade you. Musically undisputed, the charismatic rapper from Detroit, partly berechtigt- is partly unjustified, in record speed to the internal public enemy No. 1 for all American moralists Republicans and Puritans. With the new LP of eloquent rappers impressed the critics who do not stick to its self-imposed image of the "bad white motherfuckers", but to deal with the music.
With the "Marshall Mathers LP" him a stroke of genius is unparalleled. The very first track makes the listener clearly what to expect: Fat beats, virtuoso verbal acrobatics and the texts, whether they repel or attract one now, but remain a definitely in mind.
More than just a simple no. 1 hit is the following track "Stan". Initiated by the melodic hook line sad sung by Dido, Eminem plays two roles. The first three verses he is a desperate, tormented by the loss of reality schizophrenic fan of his self .. Painful authentically he screams in the third stanza Stans inner pain out. Who can this cold, the most makes everything cold. Only in the last verse Eminem plays himself. A beeidruckender song.
The next song "Who knew" then draws back the familiar image of Eminem. He plays the cynical bad guy and keeps but only a mirror to society. "I`m sorry there must be a mixup, you want me to change my lyrics while our President gets his dick sucked?" let the English language at the same time powerful listeners smile and be amazed. Social criticism wrapped in evil lyrics.
An impressive testimony of his musical genius puts Eminem from the next song. Accompanied by a grim, baroque harpsichord similar mysterious motive and a concise, but not dominant baseline Eminem brings an incredibly strong accented rap. It impressed that he not only creates this self-imposed, rigid grid to find a personal freedom, but also that it is neither the pace nor lose the intensity of his emphasis during the song.
Rocking party fashion, and to then is the second single "The Real Slim Shady". The beat, the ironic and sarcastic Rapgesang the piano sample make it difficult for the listener does not get excited about this song. Could be a hip-hop Evergreen are!
The next two tracks are then more again dürftigerer nature. Neither innovative nor artistic value, they do not have the class that characterizes the rest of the album.
By contrast, the eleventh track "Marshall Mathers" is again a class piece .. Mathers thoughtful vocals accompanied by a catchy guitar theme leads into the Rappart the song. It tells the story of his current life and the problems that the rapid success brought with it without self-pity to be working. Eminem proves that he can not only rap, but also sing without that adjusts a loss of quality. Perhaps the lyrics of this song are the window through which the listener can look into his inner life.
Another outstanding feature is the next song "Drug Ballad". A downward melodic line and a rap of in intensity while continuously increases but always new builds without culminate in a climax. This effect is exacerbated by constantly auftretene Tonsequenzierungen. This is followed by another party song "Amityville", the Bizarre of D12 featured, and indeed simple, but effective across. The same applies to the next song B ***** PLEASE 2, of the artist Dr. The Snoop Doggy Dog, Xzibit and Nate Dog combines in a unique collaboration on a track. Relaxed Partysound!
The most controversial track is the subsequent: "Kim". Musically innovative exciting here, the question arises how far art can go and whether it should be allowed that an artist talks about how he kills his wife. Paranoid scary but also appealing I can not find a final judgment here.
Many critics say Eminem's music is just good rap music. This is wrong. It is not only complex and ingenious, but simply has to polarize. You simply has too large a contact surface. Nevertheless, one has to acknowledge Marshall Mathers musical genius in spite of justified objections.
MASTERPIECE!
