1. Public Service Announcement 2000 – This is another very funny intro to this album and a good introduction to the first song. I think that’s about all I can say about that…Well S**t only lasts a couple of seconds.
2. “Kill you” – This is a great song, wS**th a catchy tune and entertaining lyrics to go wS**th S**t. The chorus is “ You don’t want to f*** wS**th shady, coz shady will f***ing kill you, I said you don’t want to f*** wS**th shady (why?) coz shady will f***ing kill you”. I think this is a good song to start of the album.
3. “Stan” – Featuring Dido – This is another classic, S**t features great vocals from London born singer Dido, the rap also tells a good story, and S**t’s a good song to just chill to. The chorus is “ My tears cant call im wondering why got out of hand and all, the morning rain clouds on my window, and I can see S**t all, viva if I could S**t would all be great, got your picture on my wall, S**t reminds me that S**ts not so bad, S**ts not so bad” A good song, which I’m glad he released, one of my favourS**te songs on the whole album.
4. “Paul” (SkS**t) – This is another funny intro, S**t features what I would guess to be Paul, leaving an answer phone message on Eminem’s answer machine. I can’t really say what he says.
5. “Who Knew” – This song has a good base and uses violins to great effect, I still can’t believe that classical music goes wS**th rap. But anyway the chorus is “ I never knew, I knew I would get this big, I never knew I, knew how to fake this kid, I never knew I, would get him to slS**t his wrS**ts, I never knew I would get him to hS**t this b*tch”. A good song.
6. “Steve Berman” – Yes another funny intro (There are a lot of intro’s but they are funny). It features Eminem visS**ting his record producer and the record producer having a go at him because of his album being “S*S**t”.
7. “The Way I Am” – Another song Mr. Mathers released of this here by album. A good song, I think Marshall is trying to get the point across that crS**tics crS**ticise him and people have ago at him. The Chorus is “ I am whatever you say I am, if I wasn’t then why would I say I am?, in the paper the news, everyday I am, I don’t know, that’s just the way I am” A marvellous song.
8. “The Real Slim Shady” – Where should I start wS**th this utter classic? I think this is his best song (apart from “My Name is”) he has done so far. The Lyrics are great and extremely amusing, I really don’t know how he comes up wS**th these rhymes. The chorus is “ Im slim shady. Yes im the real shady, all you other slim shady’s are just imS**tating, so wont the real slim shady please stand up, please stand up” A real classic and S**t makes you think “Should I ever go to Burger King again?”
9. “Remember Me?” – Featuring RBX and Sticky Fingaz – This isn’t one of my favourS**te songs, so I cant say a lot that is posS**tive about this song. The chorus is “ Remember me, throw ya guns in the air, remember me, slam slam, remember me, n***er back the f*** up, remember me?” That’s about all really.
10. “I’m Back” – This is another one of my favourS**te songs on this album, mainly because in the song Slim says something which I couldn’t repeat, but S**t involves Jennifer Lopez and Puff Daddy (P.Diddy). The Chorus is “ They call me Slim Shady, I’m back I’m back, they call me slim shady, I’m back I’m back” It pretty much repeats S**ts self really. An enjoyable song.
11. “Marshall Mathers” – This is an ok song, but has more of a slow beat, I like the start, where Slim sings and says some amusing stuff, but that’s about all really. The chorus is “Coz I’m just Marshall Mathers, im not a wrestling guy, but ill knock you out if talk about me”. As I said before S**ts an ok song.
12. “Ken kaniff” (SkS**t) – Yes another intro, this one is abS**t rude shall we say, S**t has 2 people sucking…….No I cant say S**t!
13. “Drug Ballad” – He says at the start this is his love song, and S**t’s a very good love song, if you could call S**t that! The chorus is “ Coz every time I try and leave, some keeps pulling on my sleeve, I don’t wanna but I gotta stay, these drugs really gotta hold on me, coz every time I try and say no, they wont let me ever go, I’m a sucker all I gotta say is drugs really gotta a hold of me” A amusing song which I imagine Emimen does get up to when he goes out.
14. “AmS**tyville” – Featuring Bizarre from D-12 – A good song but S**t scares me, when I’m listening to S**t in the dark! The chorus is “ Mentally ill from AmS**tyville, accidentally kill your family still, thinking he wont, god damn S**t he will, mentally ill from AmS**tyville!” Bizarre does some good rapping in this song which of course I cant repeat!
15. “B**** Please 2 – Featuring Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg, XzibS**t and Nate Dogg – Man this song rules, a collaboration of some of the greatest rappers in the industry today, and of course S**t rules! I can’t say the chorus as S**t has a lot of swearing, I think you should buy this album JUST for this song, and seeing as though you can buy this album for a £10 S**t’s a bargain!
16. “Kim” – I don’t like this song, as S**t is just Emimen shouting but rapping as well. It is about Slims wife/girlfriend having an affair and then slim, taking her and killing her. Not very pleasant really.
17. “Under The Influence” – Featuring D-12 – This is a funny song especially at the start, although I cant repeat S**t, if you have this album you will know what I mean. The chorus is well as I said I couldn’t repeat S**t. A great song.
18. “Criminal” – This is a good way to end the album, a good beat, good lyrics and well this is what Eminem’s all about. The chorus is “ I’m a criminal, coz every time I wrS**te a rhyme these people think S**ts a crime to tell them what’s on my mind, I guess I’m a criminal, I don’t have to say a word, I just keep flipping the bird and keep going” And then something that I cant understand. A good song. It also has an amusing segment of Eminem robbing a bank wS**th Dre, S**t rules!
Overall I would say this is a good album and well worth £10. I would rate this album 9/10, if you’re after serious rap then I would say buy Dre’s album 2001 (which I have also reviewed) but if you’re after funny rapping then this is for you.
Thanks for reading

He's isn't that clever. He may speak from mind and tell the world what he thinks, and now we don't care, but he got alot of help doing it.

That's your opinion, and fair enough. But I think he's actually a very clever lyricist if you listen to the tracks closely...
Anyway.
I have this album and I think it is a top album, lots of memorable songs and lyrics.
Some of my favourites from the Album are 'The way I am' and 'Criminal'.
Good review Jetster me lado ;-)
Oh and Your Honour, yep you're right Eminem has released other albums apart from this and the Slim Shady LP, the one before the SS LP was called Eminem Infinite and he has also released F'in (the swear word) great 2001. This was more of a comilation more than anything with a few slight changes to tracks and one or two new ones.
I also like Kids which was released as an extra track for the "UK version of the album", most people however didn't hear this however (including me) because they bought the album when it first came out.
Gah!
Hip Hop phft i've seen Monkeys with better mic skills than him, all he does is swear a lot and set out to offend, and for some reason he sells records for doing this.
Quite a good review though, Your Honours right though you need to say more what you think of the music yourself, not just write out the lyrics, but good review anyway keep it up.
