As evidenced by Eminem's decision to include his real name in the album's
title, this is a more serious and personal album than his major-label debut,
The Slim Shady LP, which predominantly featured his exaggerated Slim Shady
persona. Much of the CD is spent addressing his rise to fame and attacking
those who criticized his first album. Along with The Slim Shady LP it also
contains several references to the occult. Other themes include his
relationship with his family, most notably his mother and Kim Mathers, his
on-again, off-again wife. The album is considerably darker than his debut; its
famous "The Real Slim Shady" single is the only upbeat and comical track. It
was written shortly before the final copy of the album was due, in order for it
to have a "radio-friendly single".
Much of the first half of the album is produced by Dr. Dre and Mel-Man, who
typically employ sparse, stripped-down beats, allowing Eminem's rapping to
take center-stage. F.B.T. Productions and Eminem produced most of the
second half, which ranges from the laid-back guitars of "Marshall Mathers" to
the gritty atmosphere of "Amityville." The only outside producer on the album
is The 45 King, who provides a haunting beat for the famous "Stan" single
that samples Dido's "Thank You" with the addition of a slow bassline.
During the first week, it sold 1,760,049 copies, becoming the fastest-selling
rap album in history, more than doubling the previous record held by Snoop
Dogg's 1993 debut Doggystyle, and topping Britney Spears' record for
highest one-week sales by any solo artist. The Marshall Mathers LP is still
Eminem's best-selling album. It finished out the year 2000 as the second
highest selling album of the year with over 7.9 million sold. It would
eventually be certified 9x Platinum by RIAA, and has been estimated as
selling 10 million copies by Nielsen SoundScan, and 1.54 million through BMG
Music Club by 2003, making it their 5th biggest seller.
While the album received a great deal of praise from most music critics, its
enormous popularity also provoked a backlash from gay-rights activists
(primarily GLAAD), feminist groups, and socially conservative political figures
such as Lynne Cheney, who all claimed that many of the album's lyrics were
extremely misogynistic, homophobic, and vulgar. Unlike his previous album,
Eminem uses the words "fag" and "faggot" multiple times throughout The
Marshall Mathers LP, and the tracks "Kill You" and "Kim" were commonly cited
as examples of hateful lyrics against women.
Protests against the album's content reached a climax when it was nominated
for four Grammy awards in 2001 including Album of the Year, marking the first
time a hardcore rap album was ever nominated in this category. At the
ceremony, Eminem performed "Stan" in a duet with the famous homosexual
artist Elton John playing piano and singing the chorus, in an attempt to
silence GLAAD and others who claimed his lyrics were homophobic, though
GLAAD did not change its position and spoke out against Elton John's
decision. Despite significant protests and debate, The Marshall Mathers LP
went on to win Best Rap Album of the Year, but lost to Steely Dan's Two
Against Nature for Album of the Year.
Parts of the album are censored even on its explicit version, namely the lines
"your attorney Fred Gibson's a faggot!" on "Marshall Mathers", "I take seven
kids from Columbine, stand 'em all in line" on "I'm Back" and "there's a four
year old little boy laying dead with a slit throat" on "Kim".
The 'clean' version of the album is only moderately censored and leaves the
words "shit", "ass", "bitch", and "damn" uncensored. The only content
significantly edited were offensive and violent parts that were aimed at
police, African Americans, Protestant Christians, FBI, women, gays, and
schools such as Columbine. On many copies of it, however, it does shorten
the opening track from a 25-second "Public Service Announcement" much like
the one on The Slim Shady LP to just two seconds of silence. On other copies
though, the track is still left fully intact.
In addition, "Drug Ballad" (track 13) was shortened to just "Ballad" for the
edited version of the album, and "Kim" (track 16) was replaced with a South
Park themed song entitled "The Kids".
