Eminem – The Marshall Mathers LP (2000)

October 3, 2019

This was one of the first records I ever heard, and is probably responsible for my life-long interest in hip hop maintaining even as I spent most of my teenage years wallowing in the pits of grindcore. I remember being ten years old, over my friends house (who was the son of my primary school headmaster (that’s elementary principal to you yanks)) roaring with laughter at the contents of “Public Service Announcement 2000” blaring out from the speakers at ludicrous volumes. Some of the tracks haven’t aged that well, but others are absolute classics.
