I honestly thought the dude fell off after that first bullshit single, but this is MUCH better.

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>The Marshal Mathers LP was mostly boring and seemed very rushed. People didn't give a crap about the music on it, they only cared about Eminem's image, that's why you never hear anything from that album anymore, but you still hear things from all the others.</div>

I liked the video, here's a link to the Quicktime version (WMV format sucks), Flip, I don't think you should watch this one: #1 Slam dancing, #2 pointing out the evils of Bush's regime, #3 rap music.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>Actually the Hip-Hop community still refers to the MMLP album as his best work. The reason you don't hear anything from it anymore is because alot of it doesn't focus on appealing to the mainstream, which is a good thing, because it means he can rap more freely, which he did.</div>

The Hip Hop community does not consider the Marshal Mather's LP to be the best from Eminem, that's why it doesn't get played anywhere, including clubs or on hip hop radio stations. It was the flavour of the month three years ago.

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>And if you know me, I don't really care what others think, I'm an individual. It just happens that my opinion on this issue is the same as most people that listen to Eminem/D12 and hip hop in general.

If you like the Marshal Mathers LP the most, more power to you, I like the album, but not that much, less than the others. If you're refering to the Internet Hip Hop Community, well that is completely different, according to Internet communities, crap like Slipknot are not only good, but they are among the the best bands ever; why they think this, I don't know, but I think there's something wrong with a lot of people in these Internet music communities =P</div>

I got them from www.Eminemonline.com "Eminem's last official studio effort was 2002's The Eminem Show, which debuted at number one on the Billboard charts and went on to sell 9.2 million copies in the U.S. and more than 19 million copies worldwide."</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>Actually I take that back, that source isn't reliable, I thought it was the official site at first. The RIAA is the only official source I could find and the USA numbers show 9 mil MMLP, 8 mil TES.</div>

Right here on www.billboard.com. 8.7 million. The Eminem Show came out after the advent of Kazaa and the like and still sold more than the Marshall Mathers LP which came out before the explosion of MP3 piracy, when there were actually still a lot of music stores around.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>That's flawed logic, considering that on amazon.com, MMLP is at #374, and Eminem Show is at #439. That does not show that MMLP has sold more, but it does show people are still buying it.</div>
