The Slim Shady LP (CD)

Customer Review

In 1999 when this seems Cd, rap is a field of ruins filled with real corpses (Notorious Big, 2Pac), clowns who self-carricaturent (Snoop and its clones), and former glorious (Public Enemy, Wu- Tang Clan, NWA, Ice-T, KRS One, Ice Cube, ...), which when they exist, are unable to get an interesting drive.
Today, rap is as dead as most of other musical genres (folk, blues, rock (and roll), pop, hardcore, reggae, punk, ...) with the most of their major works that all belong to a past more or less remote.
And when we see the sad lords who now rule the hip hop charts, no need to be a great genius to think that Eminem will be the last of the great rappers "historic".
Paradoxical though that this musical genre from the New York black ghettos is chosen as last Emperor a small white white trash out of the suburbs of Detroit ...
Admittedly, in a field where the higher bid of all kinds (not only verbal) is the key to success, Eminem did not do in detail, incurring the wrath of a multitude of associations "well -pensantes "and thereby collecting the necessary street-Credibility reinforced concrete. Because apart from his daughter, Eminem absolutely hate the whole Earth, and is not in the second degree to know ...
The idea of ​​genius that brought him to the summit is to create a multifaceted and schizophrenic character who appears in three aspects: Eminem, the rapper "classic" Marshall Matters (his real name) who shamelessly exposes his moods, and Slim Shady, the madman who takes over this disc.

The soundtrack is also interesting, as we find to production Dr Dre, the Phil Spector rap. Who instead of stacking layers of synths, loops, samples and various noises on all tracks of the console, set up a cold and minimalist musical texture that is reminiscent of the cold-wave English 80's or trip-hop of Tricky, Massive Attack, Portishead ... It does not prevent Dr. add on "Bad Meets Evil" unexpected and effective slide and flamenco guitars.
"Slim Shady Lp" and its successor, "Marshall Lp Matters" will be the two essential works of rap at the millennium and will be a superstar Eminem.
Since, like all the others, he tries to do as well ...
