“White America” hits chords and “Business” shows Em’s nice wordplay behind a nice beat. He shows his vulnerability on “Say Goodbye Hollywood” and “Without Me.” He was still able to grow as an artist over rock and roll beats on the Aerosmith-inspired track “Sing for the Moment,” for example. Eminem hit new heights with this work about being vulnerable or not untouchable.
This is Eminem’s best work ever in my opinion and it would be hard for him to top it. The work of art checks out in every single category: story, flow, delivery, rhymes, emotion, and relatability. What makes this album such a gem though is that it tells a cohesive story about Em’s struggles with living in poverty, trying to raise a daughter, and making mistakes along the way. The production of this work is very well done and each song belongs to it. What makes this album so amazing is that it is so relatable. And I’m sick of workin’ dead-end jobs when they ain’t pay.” This track really is filled with raw emotion and it tells a story of being literally at rock bottom with no hope whatsoever. I feel discouraged, hungry, and malnourished, livin’ in this house with no furnace, unfurnished. I’m hopin’ things look up, but there ain’t no job openings.

He states, “My life is full of empty promises and broken dreams. My favorite song on the album has to be “Rock Bottom,” where Eminem raps with a story and great rhyming ability. The song “My Fault,” goes through a girl overdosing on drugs given to her by Marshall himself. Closer “Still Don’t Give,” ends with fury and closes the album out on a high note. The Detroit rapper’s clever flow and wordplay is shown on tracks such as “Role Model,” “Rock Bottom,” and “Bad Meets Evil.” There are too many great lines to even write down on paper. Or “If I Had,” where it prompts Eminem to go off about the corrupt world and what he would do if he had a million bucks. There are a lot of highlight tracks on this album like “Brain Damage, which discusses the rapper being bullied and beat up at a young age. It is purely motivational and it is what rap should really be about: telling a story and stating personal struggles. This album is a masterpiece and it gave birth to the infamous Slim Shady persona and showcased the rapper’s flow, delivery, and this angry sarcastic voice. In my opinion, this is the best Eminem album of all, filled with raw thoughts and emotion. Statistics and Probability Textbook Solutions.Sales for the year are only 1.4% ahead of 2003.
