'Rap God' rapper Eminem performs onstage at the 2014 MTV Movie Awards at Nokia Theatre L.A. Live on April 13, 2014 in Los Angeles, California.

Released on May 23, 2000, "The Marshall Mathers LP" is the third studio album by Marshall Bruce Mathers III, who is professionally known as Eminem. For comedian Chris Ramsey, this is one of the best albums of all time. 

From 2012 to 2013, Ramsey starred in "Hebburn" with Neil Granger, who is one of the voice actors of the video games "Squadron 42" and "Battlefield 1." Ramsey has yet to make a small screen comeback and if it requires rapping, it appears that he will not say no.

Ramsey claims that he could rap any of the 19 tracks from "The Marshall Mathers LP" entirely. The comedian said he was at school when someone gave him the album.

"I couldn't believe this bloke was saying those things," Express quoted Ramsey as saying, referring to Eminem and his lyrics. "It was entertaining, dark, funny and cool but scary in parts. There is one track where he's just screaming at his wife."

Eminem's former wife Kim Mathers made headlines in 2016 because of a drunk driving case. On Nov. 22, 2016, she appeared in a courthouse in Michigan where she was sentenced to a fine and probation, New York Daily News reported.

Eminem's label Interscope Records was newly founded at the time. The label released "The Marshall Mathers LP" with Interscope Records and Aftermath Entertainment.

"The Marshall Mathers LP" was produced mostly by Eminem and Aftermath Entertainment CEO Andre Romelle Young, who is professionally known as Dr. Dre. Their other co-producers were Melvin Breeden, who is professionally known as Mel-Man, Mark Howard James, who is professionally known as The 45 King, Mark Bass and Jeff Bass, who are collectively known as Bass Brothers.

Eminem wrote and co-wrote all the 19 tracks in "The Marshall Mathers LP." The album has six collaboration songs namely "Stan" featuring Dido, "Remember Me?" featuring RBX and Sticky Fingaz, "Drug Ballad" featuring Dina Rae, "Amityville" featuring Bizarre, "B---h Please II" featuring Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Xzibit and Nate Dogg and "Under the Influence" featuring D12.
