The Classic Rap Report Card Review is back and with another review of the best-selling rap album of 2000, The Marshall Mathers LP by Eminem. We discuss the album track by track and dive into the album's dark and disturbing themes from "Kim" to masterful storytelling in "Stan". The episode also takes a look back at how much backlash Eminem has faced with the album's release, especially with its violent content and homophobia. We also discuss how it affected the album sales and how much Eminem's music has changed over 25 years ago.
