* Introduction/ Hook:

Eminem is quite possibly one of the greatest rappers to come out of Detroit. from his ungodly lyrical speed to his undeniable lyrical vocabulary its insane. if you were to walk up to a random group of people and ask them who their top 10 rappers are 9 times out of 10 Eminem would definitely be on that list

Thesis - Overall Impression/ Judgment of the product..

His Album the Show really shows his ranging talents there’s literally a song for every mood in this album. The show really highlights his motivation to grow and take more of a role in his work. Overall I enjoyed this album a lot there’s so many amazing tracks on here from till I collapse to without me to soldier

Some background about the artist and genre, with discussion of the way in which the chosen album fits into the artitsts’ career/theme/persona. _ The Detroit rapper Eminem (aka Marshall Mathers) famously earned a mentor in Dr. Dre for his cutting lyrics and slick, rapid-fire delivery. He signed to Aftermath Entertainment for his major-label debut, 1999’s The Slim Shady LP, on which he channeled his visceral anger into edgy jokes and controversial hits. He continued that pattern on 2000’s The Marshall Mathers LP, rapping about murdering his wife, among other provocations. His ensuing releases, 2002’s The Eminem Show, 2009’s Relapse, 2013’s The Marshall Mathers LP 2, and more helped confirm his status as an industry darling. He picked up multiple Grammys, including several for Best Rap Album. Eminem returned in 2017 with his ninth album, Revival.
