Decades after its release, The Marshall Mathers LP remains one of the most consequential albums in hip-hop history. Eminem's second major-label studio album debuted at number one, sold over a million copies in its first week, and fundamentally reshaped what rap could say and how far it could go. This 25th Anniversary Edition presses the original album on double 180-gram vinyl and adds two live bonus tracks — "The Real Slim Shady" and "The Way I Am" — recorded at the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards, capturing Eminem at the peak of his cultural moment.
