Eminem has made a lot of great music in his career, but his best piece of work has to be The Marshall Mathers LP. From a plethora of perfect Dr Dre beats to Em using the most outrageous and offensive words he can think of just to push the listener's buttons and piss them off, everything you like about him is on this record. In fact, after listening to it you may start to wonder how he managed to get the thing released in the first place.

Eminem has always had a mix of honesty and fiction in his lyrics, but when you listen to songs like Kim and The Way I Am it's difficult to not feel the realness in his music. In a genre where most rappers talk a lot of rubbish Eminem was a breath of fresh air because he spoke about his emotions and thoughts without fear of any repercussion.
