About

The Eminem Show is still featuring Eminem's brutal and frank lyrics, his new targets like Moby, Chris Kirkpatrick, along with his mother and ex-wife Kim Scott, and his very familiar subjects, such as his relationship with his mom, his problematic childhood, his daughter Hailie, and all the controversies brought by his songs. Eminem may be singing about the same subjects but he delivers in a way that you know he truly means every word he says every time, from his rhymes about his love for his daughter, to his criticisms of the Vice President Dick Cheney’s wife.


The album includes songs like “Cleanin’ Out My Closet” and “Without Me,” two tracks which were the first singles off the record and which immediately attracted audiences from all over the world. “My Dad’s Gone Crazy” is also one of the 20 tracks, an attempt of the famous rapper at bringing humor to his already amusing songs. On the whole, the album is entertaining, uninhibited, and proves how creative and great Eminem can be in his songwriting.
