Why Eminem’s ‘Marshall Mathers LP’ Is Still A Classic | Genius News

In 2000, Eminem dropped 'The Marshall Mathers LP,' an introspective look at his career and personal life. At the time, Em was coming off the success of 'The Slim Shady LP,' but with tracks like the ever-popular “The Real Slim Shady” and the table-shaking “Stan,” Em walked right into another hit project. 20 years later, Genius News looked at the album's impact on hip-hop and the music industry at large.

I feel bad for people who haven't listened to this masterpiece

[@georgebalooga2461]

When does a classic stop being a classic? Don't all classics just stay classics? This title confuses me

[@mayyursudarsan3274]

This album has aged so well with no skips required.

[@evandt7258]

One of the greatest rap albums ever made.

[@ThankGodForAtheism420]

Imagine having 2 diamond albums, breaking records(and still is), making history, have numerous of awards, being one of the people that paved the way for future artist but you’re consider a “guest” in hip-hop LOL

[@Jam_1e]

Can't believe this dude is 47 years old

[@voggo]

eminem probably stopped a lot of school shooters by just giving them something to relate to man

[@corn9692]

I found this album when I was 7. That's right I was jamming "Kim" at 7.

[@mejmusik]

It’s sad most people haven’t heard Stan 2 “bad guy”

[@Akuzoo]

Saw Marshal Mathers, clicked faster than speed of light.

[@zach7829]

It's actually funny when people think he fell off yet he's still breaking records and ranking big numbers

[@user-iy1go8tr7i]

"Kim" scared me when I was younger and it still scares me lol

[@BooneLuleyo]

Marshall's best album 🔥🔥

[@giorgimerabishvili8194]

"Stan" is definitely one of the best songs of all time. Not only in Hip-Hop, but in all genres!

[@ghostinahotel]

This album changed music forever. When I heard it for the first time, it was like being punched in the gut or putting your hand on an electric fence. There was nothing like it at the time. It's an incredible nuanced and intelligent album that has depth, and violence that is somehow both gratuitous and poetic. Anyone who doesn't think this is a classic is biased or doesn't realise that no album this century has hit with as much shock and awe. This hit like a sledgehammer

[@user-zk6mb8qy9n]

Can't believe this album was released 20 years ago..

[@RB3Vids]

This album is crazy and shocking to this day, classic. Go listen back, it’s too good.

[@brandonsmith3069]

If you still acknowledge Eminem is the goat in 2020 you are my friend 🙂

[@rollandcurtis874]

We throw around “for the culture” loosely in 2019 and 2020. But the MM LP shook not just black culture, but American culture. I can still see my black, white, Latin, and Asian classmates playing this album from the 1st track to the last, no skipping, and every skit was classic.
