Album Review: Eminem- Infinie

    Back in 1996, Eminem, or in other words 'the greatest rapper who lived' was just an underground rapper, a rapper that was not well known, a rapper who was just trying to jump start his career, a rapper who was triying to make money off his talent, all of those facts about this album lead to a question, which is: did Eminem's first EP manage to jumpstart his career? Based on the music quality, the answer is yes, but based on trying to make money off the album, the answer's no, the album was not advertised well, and it was not sighed to a well known record company, but now, it's easy to find, thanks to his 'The Slim Shad LP' released in 1999.

    Infinite is a 'second level' Eminem album, it goes in the same group with 'Relapse' and 'Eminem Presents: The Re-Up', meaning that it's a good album, but with a few minor flaws, and very few major flaws. Infinite is an EP, that means that it's a short album, it only had 11 tracks, four of those tracks where all in excellent quality, three of those five tracks are uplifting, lyrical, and the best of the album, they are called 'Tonight', 'Never 2 Far', and 'It's Okay', the fourth track goes more into showing off lyrical skills, it's called 'Open Mic', and the fifth is a story telling track called 'Backstabber'.

    As I mentioned, the album has some errors, a few minor, such as the mixed vocal quality, or the weak beats', and one major, such as the length of the album, which caused every error to strongly count in the album, but ironically, even with those errors, there are no bad tracks on the album, the worst tracks are fair, also they are only two tracks, they are 'Jealousy Woes', and '313'.

    Infinite really did well for Eminem, despite a few errors, it gave us the origin of his lyrical skill, it also gave us the origin of his rhythm, and how he started to match the rhythm with his lyrics, overall, Infinite is nowhere near 'classic' status, but it's certainly a historical album.
