Buy or sell: The Marshal Mathers LP is the greatest hip hop album ever?
No other album has caused such controversy, it changed hip hop forever and featured some of the most classical songs in hip hop history including "the way I am" "real slim shady" "stan" ECT.
Not to mention it was and still is not only the biggest first week selling album in hip hop history but is the 3rd highest first week selling album of all time in any genre of music, it was and still is easily shadys best and most controversial album and was Eminem at his pure best

You might argue although that Eminem wasn't announcing or promoting whatever as "fundamental" and "progressive" as N.W.A. And Public Enemy. I agree that the Marshall Mathers LP is healthier than many of the albums they've put out, but that is just my individual preference, you could simply argue that PE has a greater discography than Em.

You must have not been around for NWA or Public Enemy. I wasn't either but I actually know hip hop and know that a few angry parents doesn't outweigh the government or the FCC. And controversy is often caused by gimmicks, and gimmicks don't qualify good music. All of your reasons are horrible, sales mean literally nothing as far as music quality. It's not a top 50 hip hop album.

Lol oh damn, this the worst question ever. Marshal Mathers LP us probably top 50, not even close to GOAT.
How is controversial apart from him hitting big while being white.
Nearly all Public Enemy albums are more controversial thab Marshall Mather LP.
NOT EVEN CLOSE

im sure nwa and public enemy, wutang etc had caused quite a stir. A big part of the controversy is because he's white, #truth. Don't get me wrong i like the album but not even top 10 for me, maybe 20.

I am a huge Em fan. So I would say yes. This is one of my favorite albums of all time. But that is a biased opinion since I like his music so much.
