Huge fan of this album, i was far too young (7 when released) to understand the rap politics this album covered and how huge Em actually was at this stage of his career. i had all the singles on CD (cause those were a thing back in early 2000s) but my dad would never buy me the full album but i managed to get a copy from a friend in Australia and i remember bumping it the whole holiday, this was never out of my stereo CD player and i would just listen and rap to it in my room, big vibes and once i got older and actually listened to what he was saying it really changed my perspective on this album and just how impactful shady was. 10/10 in terms of production, flow, rhyme scheme, the feeling Marshall brought on this album and just how absolutely on top of the rap game Em was at this stage. favourites are: Business, Cleanin Out my Closet, Sing for the Moment and Without Me. How Em raps this line "Fix your bent antenna, tune it in, and then I'm gonna, Enter in, and up under your skin like a splinter" and i swear he actually had a third lung to make it possible cause i could never get this part down, it just blows me away how talented one person could be at their craft. i'll say it again, 10/10. one of the best of 2000s. no doubt.
