Top 30 Albums of the Decade 2000-2009: Number 29


Number 29

Eminem
"The Marshall Mathers LP"

Released: May 22nd 2000
Key Tracks: "Stan" / "The Way I Am" / "Kim"

1999's "The Slim Shady LP" introduced the world to Eminem. 2000's follow up "The Marshall Mathers LP" showed exactly why he would be hailed as the most important rapper of his generation.

"Marshall Mathers" was angry, bitter, dark and beautiful over 72 minutes, the Detroit man's incredible lyrics shone through in abundance, from the harrowing "Stan" to the even more harrowing "Kim" and everything in between.

Without a doubt the best rap album of the decade, probably of all time. Absolutely incredible.
