* Introduction/ Hook:

Eminem is quite possibly one of the greatest rappers to come out of Detroit. from his ungodly lyrical speed to his undeniable lyrical vocabulary its insane. if you were to walk up to a random group of people and ask them who their top 10 rappers are 9 times out of 10 Eminem would definitely be on that list

Thesis – Overall Impression/ Judgment of the product..

His Album the Show really shows his ranging talents there’s literally a song for every mood in this album. The show really highlights his motivation to grow and take more of a role in his work. Overall I enjoyed this album a lot there’s so many amazing tracks on here from till I collapse to without me to soldier

Some background about the artist and genre, with discussion of the way in which the chosen album fits into the artitsts’ career/theme/persona. _ The Detroit rapper Eminem (aka Marshall Mathers) famously earned a mentor in Dr. Dre for his cutting lyrics and slick, rapid-fire delivery. He signed to Aftermath Entertainment for his major-label debut, 1999’s The Slim Shady LP, on which he channeled his visceral anger into edgy jokes and controversial hits. He continued that pattern on 2000’s The Marshall Mathers LP, rapping about murdering his wife, among other provocations. His ensuing releases, 2002’s The Eminem Show, 2009’s Relapse, 2013’s The Marshall Mathers LP 2, and more helped confirm his status as an industry darling. He picked up multiple Grammys, including several for Best Rap Album. Eminem returned in 2017 with his ninth album, Revival.

Write an essay which assesses a particular musical product, e.g. a CD, a concert performance. Your assessment should include an introduction to the artist and a thesis providing your overall judgment about the CD/performance, etc. You might provide background information, about where/how your chosen subject fits into the genre, and how the particular CD/performance fits into the body of the artist’s work.

The essay must include descriptions of the sound of the music, as well as discussion of lyrics, sociopolitical elements/messages, and musical/harmonic elements, and possible comparison with similar artists. You can also describe your emotional/psychological response to the music. Your conclusion should add a final perspective. Any research sources must be direct quotes only, in MLA format, 8th edition.

CONCLUSION – Re-state overall judgment and provide final reflection

Note that a requisite part of this assignment is a description of the sound of the music itself. Such a description should comprise approximately 5-10% of the paper, or 2-3 sentences per song. There will be an assignment wherein you develop this description. It is a challenging and satisfying task to use words to describe music. You may have to listen to the music several times with a keen ear to distinguishing critical characteristics. You may need to develop a musical vocabulary appropriate to discussing your genre. However, music can also be described in terms of your reaction to it—such reactions may be emotive, intellectual, or physical, and might be described using more standardized terms. One exercise to ensure that you have adequate descriptions is to imagine the following the scenario: The person who is reading your assessment is deaf; however, he/she has an excellent vocabulary and excellent reading comprehension… Could this person get a good sense of the music by your description? The answer is yes, if your description of the sound is effective
