The Marshall Mathers LP by Eminem
The Marshall Mathers LP is an album by Eminem, released in 2000. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 37 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “The Real Slim Shady”, on 18 lists and voted number one once.
The Marshall Mathers LP, Eminem's third album, came out on Aftermath and Interscope on May 23, 2000, and it's the sound of Slim Shady staring down his own fame. Dr. Dre, Mel-Man, F.B.T., the 45 King and Eminem himself built the beats over ten months in studios around Detroit, with Dido, Snoop Dogg, Xzibit, Nate Dogg and D12 among the guests.
Behind the cartoon menace and the shock tactics, it's a startlingly personal record about getting famous, getting blamed for everything, and a family he's estranged from. "The Real Slim Shady" is the sneering, bratty hit, "The Way I Am" is pure seething, and "Stan" turns an obsessed fan into a chilling short story, one that gave the dictionary a new word. It opened at number one and stayed there for eight weeks, won the Grammy for Best Rap Album, and is widely rated his best.
