...Eminem Show doesn't have many Marshall songs, but it still sags after the halfway point before rallying to regain some of its bluster. There are two horrible songs: Drips, a duet with D12's Obie Trice, is the dumbest sex romp since the Luther Campbell era; Sing for the Moment, a licensed rip-off of Aerosmith's Dream On, substitutes a musty hit for any new emotion...

Blige and Ashanti sing soft hooks for the ladies--and shows off Diddy's ability to turn any source material into a danceable groove. He still can't help layering his own voice into tracks more than he should. The nouveau riche are very different from you and me. --By Josh Tyrangiel
