There was just enough music to give Eminem something to ride and when the production did get a bit chunky it was to lend emotion to the contorted story Em was telling. Gone were the overlapping funk samples and r&b vocal arrangements of Dre’s Death Row. Just enough thump when necessary as the producers acquiesced to Em’s feral thought process. Dre along with Mark and Jeff Bass, was scant and atmospheric. It was a wild, imaginative ride rife with murder and mayhem topped off with a wink. It wasn’t until you removed the shrink wrap and settled in for the entirety of the Slim Shady LP that you realized that beneath that mischievous precociousness was a dark deviance that was both gripping and repulsive. His cadence on the song was child-like, the track was cartoonish and the video was silly. The pot shots at the celebs and his mom momentarily raised an eye brow but overall it was harmless youthful brashness. When Eminem released the video for “My Name is,” it was fun and games. Legitimacy aside though, which one do you think is better? However, critics and fans alike have debated the authenticity of Em’s words for years and the two albums at the forefront of that discussion have always been The Slim Shady LP and the Marshal Mathers LP. Hell, you can’t listen to crazy Larry from marketing at the water cooler for 30 seconds, but you allow Slim Shady to whisper the most sinister of sweet nothings in your ear and you beg for more.Įminem’s music was never separating fact from fiction because he pulled you into the world he created everything was real. It’s a dark flash of fantasy insanity that can make you cringe in astonishment not only because he said what he said, but because you listened to and enjoyed every bar. When he pulls back the curtain and allows you to peer inside, it’s a marathon of psychosis song after song of brilliantly spun words that outline the brutal aftermath of abandonment and abuse.

You love his razor sharp satirical wit but he’s full of wicked inspiration. Eminem creates quite the conundrum for listeners.
