The Slim Shady LP is one of the few albums in hip hop that felt very underground and raw with its lyrical content and overall production but thanks to just 2 singles it becomes a mainstream hit. The Chronic and Ready to Die are really the only other 2 albums I can think of that made a impact like that. Illmatic and Enter the Wu-Tang came before Ready to Die but they felt underground and raw but lacked the singles to get the mainstream. Doggystyle and All Eyez on Me came after The Chronic so they had the mainstream and singles but didn't sound raw. I love all those albums but when an album can do all of that it makes it even more special and unique to me.

Just straight up zany, random and dark as hell with its violence, but mixed with a hefty amount of comedy and paired with some of the best flows of the time. When I was first introduced to Eminem, it was his relapse/recovery days, and I always respected his technical skill and not much else. When I got into high school, and started getting into hip hop and the classics, I listened to it (and the other ones after) and finally understood why he was so *highly* praised. Definitely one of my favorite albums of all time, just based solely on the amount of his personality is in it and how he holds no punches. He didn't hold back like he did with MMLP and TES, he was a straight psychopath with a humorous edge in this one. MMLP is the better project overall, but SSLP is my favorite. I prefer the playful em than the serious, angry em in MMLP.

This was a brilliant retrospective on "The Slim Shady LP". You guys really did justice to the topic. When Eminem first came out with "My Name Is", I, too, thought he was a "Weird Al" parody rapper, so, I didn't take him seriously. It was only after hearing his memorable verse on "Forgot About Dre" did I decide to give the album a chance and became a huge fan. As for future 20 year album anniversary reviews, I would be interested in your opinion's on Dr Dre's "2001" and Method Man & Redman's "Blackout!".

You can hear how his voice and delivery changes if you hear the original EP songs then listen to only the LP tracks. He was influenced by Redman and it's interesting they both changed their delivery from kind of controlled and strained to more free form and animated. I know Dr. Dre was involved in helping him throw his voice better.

This is cool. It takes me back to my first Eminem experiences. Em got a lot of MTV play and some radio play. I liked My Name Is when I first saw the video, the Spice Girl line killed me. Then Guilty Conscious video blew my mind. Then when his second album came out I liked Real Slim Shady, and heard Drug Song on the radio and was like "this sounds like Eminem. At every point, I was impressed but eventually bought those albums at once and binged them. The rest is history. I finally realized his genius (he rhymed orange several times). There was a magazine that described him as paraphrasing "goes effortlessly from wild hyperbole to brutal honesty". You can see his life evolve on the albums.

The truth about all that old Cash Money music is that rapping/lyrical content is quite bad honestly. Mannie Fresh made it all hot. Think about it for real. When you listened to that old Cash Money, it gave you a feeling. No one cared what they were really saying.

Interview on MTV Italy (talking about Guilty Conscious): “I remember going in and doing a couple lines, he would lay a couple lines and I laid a couple of lines, and after I laid mine I just remember him tipping back in his chair, you know, like, almost fell over laughing so hard, I think it was the “Mr. Dre, Dr. Dre, Me.

Jay Anderson you don’t think this album is a classic? I think even if you don’t like it you’d still have to admit that it’s a classic because of how different this album was and it was our introduction to slim shady and it’s the style everyone always wants Eminem to go back to.

@@beinerthchitivamachado874 Em is in my top 5 personal favorites, but imo Greatness overall is about who you think are the most influential, most important artists, so we have to give it up to the pioneers from the 80's and early 90s, before guys like Em came out. 1. Nas 2. Rakim 3. KRS-ONE 4. Kool G Rap 5. Slick Rick 6. Ice Cube 7. Scarface 8. Jay-Z 9. Tupac 10. Notorious BIG 11. Chuck D 12. Q-Tip 13. Andre 3000 14. Eminem 15.

(The FIRST Time I Ever Heard Eminem) I thought "My Name Is" was a Joke. I thought HE was a Joke. Until I heard the song "Scary Movie" he did with Royce a few days later and His verse was soooo Nasty! "Any Man Planning to battle will get snatched out of his clothes so Fast? It'll look like an Invisible Man Standing....." 🔥 I couldn't believe it was the same dude! And Then I found out that he was white and I was blown away! NOBODY Saw him coming. I damn sure didnt.

I lived in Houston when 'My Name Is' came out and that got HEAVY airplay on 97.9 The Box. I was a little kid at the time too and the kids loved Eminem, but the adults around me didn't like Eminem that much. Black females DEFINITELY didn't mess with Eminem.

One misconception that I hate is the one about how his music is hard for blacks to connect to. Passed the playfulness, he talked about being poor, food stamps, raising a daughter that he can barely get shoes for, working a dead end job, etc. These are all trials that are experienced in the black community heavy. I can relate to him more than your typical rapper who raps about shooting and killing.

I remember hearing "My name is" and I thought it was cool but didn't go out and get the album . Then a month later Soundbombing 2 came out and had "Any man" on it. I was blown away, this is the "My name is" dude? I should get his album to see if he has any other songs like this. And I'm glad I did.
