Eminem’s third studio album ‘The Marshall Mathers LP‘ completed 20 years and Em celebrated the anniversary with an announcement that he’s doing a listening part on 27th, along with a live chat where he will be answering questions. He also revealed limited edition MMLP20 stan Varsity Hoodie which will drop next week. Along with that, he also released remastered HD music videos from the MMLP album which you can see on his youtube.

Em was so “irritated” by Dutch journalists during his first visit there that he composed several songs about them, in addition to the legal drugs it had to offer.

Em liked his first visit to Amsterdam because it was the “Ecstasy-producing center of the globe,” but he was also inspired to name his album after the city since Dutch media got on his nerves.
