I've been a big Slim Shady fan for a long time but think I'm starting to fall out of love with him. While this album, like most of his albums, shows he is an amazing lyricist, probably the best in mainstream hiphop, it also shows he's the same guy he was 15 years ago with regards to his views on women and homosexuals. I don't really want/need/have any desire to hear gay/women bashing while I'm trying to listen to hiphop music, this is 2013 not 1993.
Technically, still one of the best in the game. Lyrically? Not even in the top 30.
