The Marshall Mathers LP25th Anniversary edition

Eminem

The Marshall Mathers LP turns 25. To celebrate, a new edition of Eminem’s groundbreaking album arrives with revamped MMLP25 packaging and two live bonus tracks: “The Real Slim Shady” and “The Way I Am,” captured at the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards.

 

Released on May 23, 2000, The Marshall Mathers LP marked a seismic moment in hip-hop history. An unflinching, razor-sharp body of work that redefined the boundaries of rap music and catapulted Eminem from controversy-courting lyricist to cultural phenomenon. It features some of the most iconic tracks of Eminem's entire career, including 'Stan' and 'The Real Slim Shady'.

 

The Marshall Mathers LP was both a critical and commercial triumph. It debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, selling over 1.76 million copies in its first week in the U.S. alone, a record at the time for a solo artist.

 

Widely hailed as one of the most influential rap albums of all time, The Marshall Mathers LP is a raw, provocative, and masterfully constructed work that continues to resonate in the cultural and musical landscape decades later.
