 (387 Customer Reviews)
ENCORE is far from a letdown, as Eminem's twisted mind continues to produce razor-sharp rhymes, whether examining the world (the aforementioned "Mosh"), venting his spleen ("Puke"), exploring his soul ("Like Toy Soldiers") or just being plain silly ("My 1st Single"). While Em's inclination towards the shocking is well documented, other than "Mosh," the record is relatively toned-down; he even apologizes for racist comments made on a 1993 underground tape. However, that's not to imply that the proceedings are low-key; ENCORE burns with the fire of a master lyricist letting his words loose on whatever crosses his mind.
While Eminem has revealed levels of depth far beyond his Slim Shady persona, few could have anticipated "Mosh," the second single from his 2004 release, ENCORE. This song, by one of music's most controversial artists, features Em focusing his rage like never before, ultimately calling on the youth of America to rise up?and vote. While his brilliantly scathing tirade against President George W. Bush didn't lead to the politician's defeat, it certainly captured the country's attention and attempted to raise listeners' political awareness. It also effectively increased the already-huge stature of the expectation-defying Detroit rapper only a few weeks before his highly anticipated fourth record's release.

This CD has not been out of my CD player since it arrived.
Every song is fantastic and I wonder where it all comes from?
A CD I will be playing in 10 years time.

 This album is just plain dumb
Im a really big fan of Eminem, but that wont stop me from realizing that his latest album is a joke. He lost his emotions, flow, lyrics, substance, all at one time. Their are four or five songs worth listening to, but the rest are just retarded. I only use this song for background music if im drawing, playing a video game, things like that. And whats up with these non-rap fans reviewing this album? Is it just because Eminem is white? That seems to be the case since I dont see bogus reviews like that on others rappers pages(on this website). If you think rap is just about being a thug, sex, drugs, bling bling, then you should stop talking about rap in general.
But in conclusion, Eminem fell off. Its a shame to see someone with talent not use it when they have so much exposure. Heck, 50 Cent was good until he got signed to Interscope.

 Nice
Once again, Em kills lyrically. Some of the music is questionable, but a majority of the beats are blazin'. I recommend it.

Purchase Encore CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Eminem Marshall Mathers LP CD (2001)
Encore
 $10.79    
THE MARSHALL MATHERS LP won the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Rap Album. "The Real Slim Shady" won the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Rap Solo Performance. THE MARSHALL MATHERS LP was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Album Of The Year.
A Caucasian rapper from Detroit, a Dr. Dre disciple with bright blonde hair--at first glance, Eminem seemed the unlikeliest of hip-hop stars. However, his debut, THE SLIM SHADY LP, contained clever rhymes and even the occasional innovation. His sophomore effort, THE MARSHALL MATHERS LP, proved that Eminem was no fluke, but instead a legitimate rap visionary.
While his horror/shock rap can be unsettling, it's more often hilarious, as he and his Slim Shady character skewer anyone and everyone, notably the MTV-based world that surrounded him after the success of his first record. Few can come up with rhymes as consistently clever as this Motor City madman, and lines that will be repeated ...
| | Eminem Show CD (2002)
Encore
$10.79
THE EMINEM SHOW was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Award for Album Of The
Year. "Without Me" was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Awards for Record Of The Year and Best Male Rap Solo Performance.
This deluxe limited edition includes a bonus DVD containing previously unreleased footage and interview with Eminem.
As one of the most controversial figures in hip-hop history, Eminem can be forgiven for being somewhat self-obsessed. THE EMINEM SHOW's opening cut "White America" sums up the notorious rapper's self-defense by keenly observing that while the color of his skin has something to do with his widespread popularity it's also the reason his lyrics are examined so scrupulously by critics who otherwise wouldn't bother. "I could be one of your kids" he proclaims, getting right to the heart of the matter. Despite the abundance of introspection, Eminem doesn't back up a single step on any of the themes that made him such a hot property. He's still into glorifying violence, as on "Soldier" one of the many cuts where he waves his broken-home/dysfunctional upbringing like a flag to justify the hatred that seeps from every pore of THE EMINEM SHOW.
Over the course of the album, he threatens to brutally murder so many members of his family that one begins to lose track, but this is just the kind of hard-ass image that's helped make him an icon. The aforementioned cut finds the former ...
| | Nelly Suit CD (2004)
Encore
$12.75
Nelly broke out in 2000 with his debut, COUNTRY GRAMMAR, and its infectious summer-anthem title track. Two years later, the St. Louis rapper dropped the multi-platinum NELLYVILLE and another summer anthem, "Hot in Herre," which balanced raw carnality with a deft pop hook. Nelly has always possessed this duality of unrefined energy and a melodic sensibility, and, in 2004, he decided to break the two aspects of his music into separate albums, SWEAT and SUIT.
On SUIT, he focuses on his more cultivated side with a constantly engaging, tightly produced record, filled with memorable singles. Just because there's a measure of manner pervading the record doesn't mean that Nelly's not having fun, as the disc ranges from the inspired balladry of "My Place" and the borderline-chopped-and-screwed haze of "Woodgrain and Leather wit a Hole." SUIT is still a party, and, as it's a Nelly party, there are tons ...
| | Ludacris Red Light District CD (2004)
Encore
$11.55
It's fitting that Ludacris would unveil one of the last major albums of 2004. He is one of the wittiest personalities in hip-hop, only rivaled in the one-liner department by Eminem, and the most downright fun rapper in the business.
Ludacris opens with a wry rant on the industry, a common theme, but he uniquely combines the self-aware eye of a writer with the continually scheming nature of a hustler. It is said that when comic actors ...
| | Snoop Dogg R&G (Rhythm & Gangsta): The Masterpiece CD (2004)
Encore
$12.55
Easily Snoop's most diverse album, R&G slips from solidly street-oriented tracks to purely fun tunes, with moments both sensual and silly that add up to what's almost a concept record. Snoop has always been a master of squaring a mellow melody with his hardcore edge, but he reaches new heights on R&G, particularly on the Neptunes-assisted single "Drop It Like It's Hot" and the incredible early-1980s disco-soul sound of "Let's Get Blown." Snoop also reminds listeners just how hard he can hit on tracks ...

| | Pete Mroz Detachment CD (2008)
Encore
$12.65
Pete Mroz has been around the block and is "deep in the streets". He has probably lived in ten states, including Texas, Mississippi, and Connecticut. With a nomadic heart and a restless mind Pete Mroz reaches through his music for elusive beauty and unfettered love that is growing obsolete at an alarming rate. There is a crisis at hand and Pete Mroz is the inexhaustible hero. Just listen to his voice and you’ll understand that he has tapped into something "as real as real gets". It is beyond emotional and deeply soulful, it is LOVE, itself. And he can’t stop himself! Pete’s first disc was "54 Days on Blue Planet". Stand out songs like "What Does It Mean" and "(I am) The Man" showcase Pete’s strong blues roots and firmly establish him in the company of John Mayer’s "Continuum" and Eric Clapton’s "Pilgrim (for your love)". And while Pete may have "took himself to school" at the feet of Robert Johnson, "The Least I Can Do" would make any seasoned Nashville songwriter seethe with reckless jealousy. Pete Mroz is a fUNCKY mOTHER hUBBARD! Houdini was too. Now ...
