Once “humped a dead moose”, reportedly on an MTV comedy program. Mental issues. This eventually leads to the rapper speaking against unfairĬensorship of his art by referencing a slapstick comedian named Tom Green who Got a couple of screws up in (his) head loose”, meaning he likely possesses “he’s so cute” despite his off-putting mannerisms and even admits he “probably Dre. Next he brings up the fact that women think Single from his previous album. And therein he insinuates that he murdered Then he makes a concealed callback to “My Name Is”, the lead Those days) by comparing the situation to abuse actress Pamela AndersonĪllegedly suffered via rock star Tommy Lee, whom she was married to shortly Where he relays a metaphor about being a White rapper (they were really rare in Mentally-disturbed. This becomes evident from the onset of the first verse We all know, is not only lyrically-gifted but more notably Of proving he is indeed “the real Shady”. And his character Slim Shady, as However, Eminem does not use the verses themselves to attack One. And this is the same apparent theme which the choruses featured Shady please stand up”. This would imply that there are a bunch of fakeĮminems in the group – so much so that it is hard to pick out the real The rest of the album? No, thanks.The track begins with Eminem coming off as someone akin toĪn auditorium announcer. And what he is requesting is that “the real Slim Rap God contains six of the hardest minutes in rap. There are just too many cheesy lines, weird beats and female vocals, and an intolerable amount of Rihanna. It was a commercial hit but started a lame new direction for Eminem which continued with 2013’s Marshall Mathers LP 2. The other side of Relapse, Recovery came out in 2010 and as a personal opinion, it is Eminem’s worst album ever. It does have good tracks like 3am and My Mom, but overall it’s a little too drugged out.
A legit complaint with the album is Eminem’s weird accent. People hilariously complained that it had too much Slim Shady. I guess one of the reasons was that people didn’t understand that it’s Eminem style to release an album for each character. His critical success, however, waned with later albums and I’m still waiting for a new Eminem album to be proud of.Ģ009’s Relapse was a decent effort but bombed badly. He next came out with The Eminem Show in 2002 as well as the flick 8 Mile both of which were commercial and critical successes.
These albums put Eminem on top and in current times he’s the most recognizable rapper alive. If I had to pick the best, it’s Stikky Fingazz hands down. There’s D-12 on Under the Influence, RBX & Stikky Fingazz (Of Onyx) on Remember Me? and Dre, Snoop, Nate Dogg & Xzibit on Bitch Please II. MMLP is FILLED with featured artists compared to SSLP. 97 Bonnie & Clyde from the previous album gets an even darker prequel, the infamous Kim. The song has a sort of Biggie quality to it, as it’s narrated as a letter from an insane fan to Eminem. It was a huge hit, as was Stan, a vivid, atmospheric track which uses a haunting Dido sample for the hook. After SSLP, Eminem was starting to be compared to other white rappers like Cage, an issue Eminem cleverly addresses in The Real Slim Shady. It’s more introspective, but in no way less sober or violent. The sound is easily distinguishable from Slim Shady LP, representing Eminen’s other side. The Marshall Mathers LP came out the next year. To no one’s surprise, Eminem attracted a lot of controversy over his violent and misogynistic lyrics.
Dre’s odd production and Slim Shady’s excellent lyricism brings to life his depressing world. If I Had, 97 Bonnie & Clyde, Rock Bottom, Just Don’t Give a Fuck and Role Model are all dark, uncomfortable tracks boiling with frustration. Eminem introduces even more alter egos in the skits interspersed between tracks. Dre’s backing, Eminem created an album that is probably the most recent rap classic. No one was expecting a white rapper from Detroit to curbstomp the whole scene, but that’s exactly what happened. The Slim Shady LP was the first one to come out in 1999. Eminem’s duality trend goes back to his EPs Infinite and Slim Shady EP. The Slim Shady LP and The Marshall Mathers LP were released a year apart, but they are like two sides on the same coin, yin and yang, Batman and Joker, Jekkyl and Hyde…you get the picture.
