1001 Albums Summary

Funky beats, interesting rhythms. Eminem definitely attacks interesting topics. Sometimes it’s serious, sometimes he’s fucking with you, sometimes it’s dramatic or sad. He pokes at pop culture, hip hop of the era, public expectations across many of the songs. He wasn’t afraid to take totally different approaches and makes it known. The beats seem unusual for the era. Sometimes way out of left field. He also raps or sings in unusual ways for 2001. I don't recall rappers straying far from plain rapping at the time. They might push traditional technique with complexity, but Eminem gets quite wild at times in this album.
