My iPod #220: Eminem - Criminal

For more insight, click on these three words. I am very sure that it will give you better lyrical analysis than I ever could.

Here is all you need to know. "Criminal" is the last song on "The Marshall Mathers LP", Eminem's third album. Or second if you're a person who negates the existence of "Infinite". "The Marshall Mathers LP" is arguably Eminem's best album. Eminem is regarded to be one of the best rappers of all time. Have you pressed play on the video above yet?

It is a great closer to the album. It basically sums up all of the messages conveyed in the prior seventeen songs, and is spat out to you in a humorous and clever fashion. Eminem was the centre of controversy after the release of "The Slim Shady LP". Many women, homosexuals, parents, the government..... They were all very offended by what this man said. But does he care? No. Because he doesn't mean it. It is all very funny to him.

Really though, I like Eminem but not as much as I might have sounded two paragraphs above. When his lyrics and beats are on point, he is siiiiick. "Criminal" is another of the numerous instances when he is, indeed, sick.
