In the last five years, frontman and band mastermind Will Toledo has been churning out a steady stream of music, recording first in his family car and later in his dorm room at Virginia Commonwealth University. Take some time out today to listen to his greatest work.Teens of Style is not technically Car Seat Headrest’s debut, but a greatest hits, a career retrospective, a rarities comp, and a remix album all rolled into one. He deserves all accolades that he has been awarded. Nonetheless, Eminem is one of the greatest and the top-selling rapper in the history of the genre. In 2009 Eminem came back on the scene with three new albums over the next four years, none of which were as successful as the first four. He balances both punch line concentrated rap and storytelling so well that this album is less of a compilation of songs and more of an autobiographical narrative describing what was going on in Em’s life at the time this album was written.įollowing this project, Eminem went on to release two albums that were only marginally less successful than their predecessor before taking a five-year hiatus from releasing music. Slim Shady’s diction and syntax were unparalleled to anything out at the time. Regardless of how dark and twisted the lyrics may have been, the way they were put together was nearly flawless.

This album can be said to be the project that earned him his spot in that conversation. Eminem has been hailed as one of the holy trinity of biggest-selling rappers, the other two being 2Pac and Biggie of course. The critical response to the album was just as outstanding as its sales. The album was nominated for two Grammy including Album of Year and Best Rap Album which it won. The album claimed the top spot on music charts in three continents, appearing on charts in four. It goes without saying that this album was also #1 on charts across the world. Overseas, the album went multiplatinum in Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, New Zealand, Norway, South Africa, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. The album is certified diamond in the selling 12.5 million copies in the United States alone. “I personally don’t want anyone coming to Canada who will come here and advocate violence against women”.Ĭommercially, this is the most successful rap album of all time. Ontario Attorney General Jim Flaherty attempted to keep Eminem from entering the country to perform at his October 26th, 2000 Toronto Skydome show saying, “ promoting violence of the most degrading kind against women … a rap singer who advocates murder and rape.” US Senator Lynne Cheney was so up-in-arms against Eminem and his sponsors that she made an official statement against him saying, Government officials across the globe had taken public stances against Eminem, his music, his supporters, and all that he stood for. Due to the ridiculous success of this project the backlash was international. The controversy that was met by this diamond-certified album was monumental and set a precedent in Hip Hop for what you can and cannot say.

No album that speaks on what Eminem did on this project can be put out without ruffling feathers. As beautifully painful as this album is, it is not for the faint of heart. Eminem touches subjects that a sensitive to the American public such as: depression, murder, rape, violence, suicide, mental disorder, drug abuse, homosexuality, and more. Eminem even kicks things off with a disclaimer warning any listener of what they’ve gotten themselves into listening to the album. If you’ve never listened to Eminem, this album may be the perfect amount of overwhelmingly violent and grotesque lyricism to either make you a life-long fan or turn to away forever (Slim Shady himself wouldn’t have it any other way). If you’ve ever listened to Eminem, you know how he rolls. This success was set up well by Eminem’s previous release The Slim Shady LP, which shocked the world. Dre and released under Aftermath/Interscope Records, this album sold 1.76 million copies in the first week alone, making it the fast-selling album in music history (until 2015 when Adele’s 25 smashed the record, selling 2.43 million).
