The Marshall Mathers LP (Aftermath, 2000) by Eminem

Mr. Mathers’ third album is his greatest.  It is a cliche statement, but a very understandable one, much like saying Blood Sugar Sex Magik is the magnum opus of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.  Eminem is one of the most technically skilled rappers ever and that combined with his exemplary writing ability makes for a hardcore rap album that is witty, personal, disturbing, and sad all at once.  It is a feat that had not been achieved before and has not been matched since.
