Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP

While I've never felt any sympathy with the culture from which rap and hip hop spring, and this is a stream in which the music is particularly difficult to separate from the culture, I quite like this record. It has a nice flow to it, it's catchy, and it's interesting (for which sometimes read 'harrowing'). Still, I can't see myself ever walking down the musical road represented by Eminem in any earnestness.
