The Slim Shady LP is the second studio album and the major-label debut[1] by American rapper Eminem. It was released on February 23, 1999 by Aftermath Entertainment and Interscope Records. Recorded in Ferndale, Michigan, following Eminem's recruitment by Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine, the album features production from Dr. Dre, the Bass Brothers, and Eminem himself. The Slim Shady LP is his first album with a major label after his first album Infinite was released on an independent label in 1996.[2] The majority of the album's lyrical content is written from the perspective of the rapper's alter ego Slim Shady, whom the rapper created on the Slim Shady EP (1997). The lyrics are noted for their depictions of violence and heavy use of profanity.

The album was met with both critical and commercial success; critics praised Eminem for his unique lyrical style, and the album debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 with 283,000 copies sold in its opening week. 'Just Don't Give a Fuck', from the Slim Shady EP, was released in October 1998. The first official single, 'My Name Is', peaked at number 36 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming his first entry on that chart. The album won a Grammy Award for Best Rap Album. The Slim Shady LP turned Eminem from an underground rapper into a high-profile celebrity. Interscope Records awarded him with his own record label, Shady Records, and he embarked on an extensive touring schedule to promote the album. In the summer of 1999, the rapper frequently performed on the Vans Warped Tour and in hip-hop clubs. He also became a highly controversial figure due to his lyrical content, which some perceived to be misogynistic and a negative influence on American youth.

The Slim Shady LP went on to be certified quadruple-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and has sold over 18 million copies worldwide.[3] In 2012, the album was ranked number 275 on Rolling StoneMagazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.[4]

The Slim Shady Lp

Background[edit]

Eminem, born Marshall Bruce Mathers III, began rapping at age fourteen. In 1996, his debut album Infinite, which was recorded at the Bassmint, a recording studio owned by the Bass Brothers, was released under their independent record label Web Entertainment.[5]Infinite achieved very little commercial success and was largely ignored by Detroit radio stations. The disappointment from this experience greatly influenced his lyrical style: 'After that record, every rhyme I wrote got angrier and angrier. A lot of it was because of the feedback I got. Motherfuckers was like, 'You're a white boy, what the fuck are you rapping for? Why don't you go into rock & roll?' All that type of shit started pissing me off.'[6] After the release of Infinite, Eminem's personal struggles and abuse of drugs and alcohol culminated in a suicide attempt.[7]

The disappointment of Infinite inspired Eminem to create the alter ego Slim Shady: 'Boom, the name hit me, and right away I thought of all these words to rhyme with it.'[6] Slim Shady served as Eminem's vent for his frustrations, and in the spring of 1997, he recorded the eight-song extended play Slim Shady EP. During this time, Eminem and his girlfriend Kim Scott lived in a high-crime neighborhood with their newborn daughter Hailie, where their house was burglarized numerous times.[6] After being evicted from his home, Eminem traveled to Los Angeles to participate in the Rap Olympics, an annual nationwide rap battle competition. He placed second, and the staff at Interscope Records who attended the Rap Olympics sent a copy of the Slim Shady EP to company CEO Jimmy Iovine.[6] Iovine played the tape for hip hop producer Dr. Dre, founder of Aftermath Entertainment. Dr. Dre recalled, 'In my entire career in the music industry, I have never found anything from a demo tape or a CD. When Jimmy played this, I said, 'Find him. Now.'[6] Some urged Dr. Dre not to take a chance on Eminem because he was white. Dr. Dre responded, 'I don't give a fuck if you're purple. If you can kick it, I'm working with you.'[8] Eminem and Dr. Dre subsequently began work on Eminem's major-label debut album.

Recording[edit]

Eminem had idolized The Slim Shady LP co-producer Dr. Dre (pictured in 2008) since he was a teenager.

The Slim Shady LP was recorded at Studio 8 at 430 8 Mile Road in Ferndale, Michigan.[9] Eminem, who had idolized Dr. Dre since listening to his group N.W.A as a teenager, was nervous to work with him on the album: 'I didn't want to be starstruck or kiss his ass too much ... I'm just a little white boy from Detroit. I had never seen stars, let alone Dr. Dre.'[10] However, Eminem became more comfortable working with Dr. Dre after a series of highly productive recording sessions.[11] The recording process generally began with Dr. Dre creating a beat and Eminem using the tracks as a template for his freestyle raps; 'Every beat he would make, I had a rhyme for', Eminem recalled.[11] He later said: 'Every time I sat down with a pen, everything was just like: fuck you, fuck this, fuck them, fuck that, fuck the world, fuck what everybody thinks. Fuck them.' '[6] On the first day of recording, Eminem and Dr. Dre finished 'My Name Is' in an hour.[6] Three other songs, including 'Role Model', were also recorded that day.[10]

'97 Bonnie & Clyde', which was formerly featured on the Slim Shady EP as 'Just the Two of Us', was rerecorded for The Slim Shady LP to feature his daughter Hailie's vocals. Because the song focuses on disposing of his girlfriend's corpse, Eminem was not comfortable with explaining the situation to Kim, and instead told her that he would be taking Hailie to Chuck E. Cheese's. However, he really took her to the recording studio.[6] He explained, 'When she found out I used our daughter to write a song about killing her, she fucking blew. We had just got back together for a couple of weeks. Then I played her the song and she bugged the fuck out.' Eminem also said, 'When she (Hailie) gets old enough, I'm going to explain it to her. I'll let her know that Mommy and Daddy weren't getting along at the time. None of it was to be taken too literally, although at the time I wanted to fucking do it.'[6] The song 'Guilty Conscience' contains a humorous reference to an occasion in which Dr. Dre assaulted Dee Barnes. Having only known Dr. Dre for a few days, Eminem was anxious about how he would react to such a line, and to his relief, Dr. Dre 'fell out of his chair laughing' upon hearing the lyric.[12] 'Ken Kaniff', a skit involving a prank call to Eminem, featured fellow Detroit rapper Aristotle. After a falling out between the two in the wake of Eminem's breakthrough success, Eminem instead played Ken Kaniff on skits on future albums. Ken Kaniff would end up appearing in more Eminem albums over the course of his career and was last heard in The Marshall Mathers LP 2[13] Another skit, 'Bitch', is an answering machine message in which Zoe Winkler, daughter of actor Henry Winkler, tells a friend that she was disgusted by Eminem's music. He met and had dinner with her in order to get permission to use the recording on the album.[14]

During the mixing process of The Slim Shady LP, at the same time, Kid Rock was recording his fourth studio album, Devil Without a Cause; being friends with Kid Rock, Eminem asked Kid Rock to record scratching for Eminem's song 'My Fault', which appears on The Slim Shady LP; in return, Eminem delivered a guest rap verse on Kid Rock's song 'Fuck Off' for Devil Without a Cause.[15]

Production[edit]

The album's production was handled primarily by the Bass Brothers, Dr Dre, and Eminem.[18][19] The beats have been compared to West Coast hip hop and G-funk musical styles.[20] Kyle Anderson of MTV wrote that 'The beats are full of bass-heavy hallucinations and create huge, scary sandboxes that allow Em to play.'[18] According to the staff at IGN, '97 Bonnie & Clyde' is backed by the 'lulling serenity of a super silky groove'.[16] 'Cum on Everybody'; which features guest vocals from American singer Dina Rae[21] contains an upbeat dance rhythm, while 'My Name Is', which is built around a piano 'sample' from British musician Labi Siffre's 'I Got The', features a prominent bassline and psychedelic-style keyboards.[18][16][17] 'I'm Shady' was originally written over a Sade track, but after hearing a 'sample' of Curtis Mayfield's 'Pusherman' in Ice-T's song 'I'm Your Pusher', Eminem decided it would be more fitting to use 'Pusherman'.[22]

Eminem's vocal inflection on the record has been described as a 'nasal whine'; Jon Pareles of The New York Times likened his 'calmly sarcastic delivery' to 'the early Beastie Boys turned cynical'.[23] Writing for the Chicago Tribune, columnist Greg Kot compared the rapper's vocals to 'Pee-wee Herman with a nasal Midwestern accent'.[24] A skit entitled 'Lounge' appears before 'My Fault' featuring Eminem and the Bass Brothers imitating rat pack crooners. Jeff Bass came up with the line 'I never meant to give you mushrooms' for the skit, which in turn inspired Eminem to write 'My Fault'.[25]

Lyrical themes[edit]

This song talks about Eminem's past troubles with money. This and many other themes are the basis for the album.[26]

Many of the songs from The Slim Shady LP are written from the perspective of Eminem's alter ego, Slim Shady, and contain cartoonish depictions of violence, which he refers to as 'made-up tales of trailer-park stuff'.[27] The rapper explained that this subject matter is intended for entertainment value, likening his music to the horror film genre: 'Why can't people see that records can be like movies? The only difference between some of my raps and movies is that they aren't on a screen.'[28] Some of the lyrics have also been considered to be misogynistic by critics and commentators.[29] Eminem acknowledged the accusations, and clarified, 'I have a fairly salty relationship with women ... But most of the time, when I'm saying shit about women, when I'm saying 'bitches' and 'hoes', it's so ridiculous that I'm taking the stereotypical rapper to the extreme. I don't hate women in general. They just make me mad sometimes.'[29] Despite the album's explicit nature, Eminem refused to say the word 'nigga' on the album, with the rapper noting, 'It's not in my vocabulary.'[29]The Slim Shady LP begins with a 'Public Service Announcement' introduction performed by producer Jeff Bass of the Bass Brothers, and serves as a sarcastic disclaimer discussing the album's explicit lyrical content.[30] Later in the album, a skit entitled 'Paul' features a phone call from Paul Rosenberg to Eminem telling him to 'tone down' his lyrics.[31]

'Guilty Conscience' is a concept song featuring Dr. Dre. The song focuses on a series of characters who are faced with various situations, while Dr. Dre and Eminem serve as the 'angel' and 'devil' sides of the characters' conscience, respectively.[18] The song draws inspiration from a scene in the 1978 comedy film National Lampoon's Animal House, in which a man takes advice from an angel and devil on his shoulder while considering raping an unconscious girl at a party.[28] In the film, he ends up deciding not to go through with the rape, but in 'Guilty Conscience', the outcome is unclear.[28] On 'My Fault', Eminem tells the story of a girl who overdoses on psychedelic mushrooms at a rave.[32] '97 Bonnie & Clyde' features Eminem convincing his infant daughter to assist him in disposing of his wife's corpse. It is an epilogue to the song 'Kim', although '97 Bonnie & Clyde' was released first. Eminem wrote the song at a time in which he felt that Kim was stopping him from seeing his daughter.[28] Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic explained that 'There have been more violent songs in rap, but few more disturbing, and it's not because of what it describes, it's how he describes it -- how the perfectly modulated phrasing enhances the horror and black humor of his words.'[19] On the song 'Brain Damage', Eminem discusses his childhood experiences with bullies at school.[33]

Although many of the lyrics on the album are intended to be humorous, several songs depict Eminem's frustrations with living in poverty. When discussing The Slim Shady LP, Anthony Bozza of Rolling Stone described Eminem as 'probably the only MC in 1999 who boasts low self-esteem. His rhymes are jaw-droppingly perverse, bespeaking a minimum-wage life devoid of hope, flushed with rage and weaned on sci-fi and slasher flicks.'[6] Eminem was inspired to write 'Rock Bottom' after being fired from his cooking job at a restaurant days before his daughter's birthday.[6] The song bemoans human dependency on money, discussing its ability to brainwash an individual.[26] He illustrates his struggles to provide for his daughter, describing himself as 'discouraged, hungry, and malnourished.'[26] 'If I Had' follows a similar theme, as he describes living on minimum wage and remarks that he is 'tired of jobs starting off at $5.50 an hour'.[34] In the song, he expresses his irritation with fitting the 'white trash' stereotype.[35]

The album was met with critical acclaim. Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic gave the album five stars out of five, praising the rapper's 'expansive vocabulary and vivid imagination', adding that 'Years later, as the shock has faded, it's those lyrical skills and the subtle mastery of the music that still resonate, and they're what make The Slim Shady LP one of the great debuts in both hip-hop and modern pop music.'[19] David Browne of Entertainment Weekly described the album's 'unapologetic outrageousness' as a reaction to the 'soul positivity' of conscious hip hop, noting that 'The Slim Shady LP marks the return of irreverent, wiseass attitude to the genre, heard throughout the album in its nonstop barrage of crudely funny rhymes ... Even pop fans deadened to graphic lyrics are likely to flinch.'[38] Soren Baker of the Los Angeles Times gave the album three and a half stars out of four and stated that 'He isn't afraid to say anything; his lyrics are so clever that he makes murder sound as if it's a funny act he may indulge in simply to pass the time' but lamented the 'sometimes flat production that takes away from the power of Eminem's verbal mayhem.'[39]

Many reviewers commented on the album's lyrical content. Gilbert Rodman of Popular Communications states, 'Eminem's music contains more than its fair share of misogynistic and homophobic lyrics, but simply to reduce it to these (as many critics do) doesn't help to explain Eminem. It merely invokes a platitude or a sound bite to explain him away.'[44] Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone enjoyed the record's comedic nature, writing 'Simply put: Eminem will crack you up', but also felt that the misogynistic lyrics grow tiresome, noting that 'the wife-killing jokes of '97 Bonnie and Clyde' aren't any funnier than Garth Brooks', and 'My Fault' belongs on some sorry-ass Bloodhound Gang record.'[20] Nathan Rabin of The A.V. Club felt that although the album is 'sophomoric and uninspired' at times, Eminem's 'surreal, ultraviolent, trailer-trash/post-gangsta-rap extremism is at least a breath of fresh air in a rap world that's despairingly low on new ideas.'[45] Mike Rubin of Spin noted that 'his scenarios are so far-fetched the songs almost never sound as ugly as they actually are.'[43] Chris Dafoe of The Globe and Mail opined that 'Abused by fellow students and teachers, cheated on by his girlfriend, despised by society, Shady goes over the top now and then - or rather way over the top - but Dre's lean production, full of strange voice and comic interjections, hold things together.'[46] Reviewing for The Village Voice in 1999, Robert Christgau called the record a 'platinum-bound cause celebre' and, despite succumbing to 'dull sensationalism' toward the end, Eminem shows 'more comic genius than any pop musician since', possibly, Loudon Wainwright III.'[47]

Aftermath[edit]

The album's success transformed Eminem into an international celebrity. Pictured in a concert in Munich, Germany in October 1999

After the success of The Slim Shady LP, Eminem went from an underground rapper into a high-profile celebrity. Interscope Records awarded him with his own record label, Shady Records; the first artist Eminem signed was rapper and his best friend Proof.[69] Eminem, who had previously struggled to provide for his daughter, noted a drastic change in his lifestyle: 'This last Christmas, there were so many fucking presents under the tree ... My daughter wasn't born with a silver spoon in her mouth. But she's got one now. I can't stop myself from spoiling her.'[69]

To promote The Slim Shady LP, Eminem embarked on an extensive tour schedule. He joined the Vans Warped Tour as a last-minute replacement for Cypress Hill, a schedule that included 31 North American dates from June 25 to July 31, beginning in San Antonio and ending in Miami.[70] He often played a show in the afternoon on the Warped Tour, and then drove to another location to perform at a hip hop club at night.[69] During a performance in Hartford, Connecticut near the end of the Warped Tour, Eminem slipped on a puddle of liquid and fell ten feet down off the stage, cracking several ribs.[70][71] He recalled that the stress of his newfound fame led him to drink excessively, and reflected, 'I knew I had to slow it down. The fall was like a reminder.'[71] However, after receiving medical attention, he was well enough to travel to New York the following day for a performance on Total Request Live.[70]

'Anybody who believes kids are naive enough to take this record literally is right to fear them, because that's the kind of adult teenagers hate. [This cause célèbre dares] moralizers to go on the attack while explicitly—but not (fuck you, dickwad) unambiguously—declaring itself a satiric, cautionary fiction'.

Christgau's Consumer Guide: Albums of the '90s (2000)[37]

Eminem also became a highly controversial figure due to his lyrical content. He was labeled as 'misogynist, a nihilist and an advocate of domestic violence', and in an editorial by Billboard editor in chief Timothy White, the writer accused Eminem of 'making money by exploiting the world's misery.'[6] During a radio interview in San Francisco, Eminem reportedly angered local DJ Sista Tamu due to a freestyle about 'slapping a pregnant bitch' to the extent that on air she broke a copy of The Slim Shady LP.[71] The rapper defended himself by saying, 'My album isn't for younger kids to hear. It has an advisory sticker, and you must be eighteen to get it. That doesn't mean younger kids won't get it, but I'm not responsible for every kid out there. I'm not a role model, and I don't claim to be.'[6]

Lawsuits[edit]

On September 17, 1999, Eminem's mother, Deborah Nelson, filed a $10 million lawsuit against him for slander based on his claim that she uses drugs in the line 'I just found out my mom does more dope than I do' from 'My Name Is'.[72][73] After a two-year-long trial, she was awarded $25,000, of which she received $1,600 after legal fees.[72] Eminem was not surprised that his mother had filed the lawsuit against him, referring to her as a 'lawsuit queen', and alleging that 'That's how she makes money. When I was five, she had a job on the cash register at a store that sold chips and soda. Other than that, I don't remember her working a day in her life.'[73] She later filed another lawsuit against him for emotional damages suffered during the first trial, which was later dismissed.[72]

In December 2001, DeAngelo Bailey, a janitor living in Roseville, Michigan who was made the subject of the song 'Brain Damage' in which he is portrayed as a school bully, filed a $1 million lawsuit against Eminem for slander and invasion of privacy.[33] Bailey's attorney stated 'Eminem is a Caucasian male who faced criticism within the music industry that he had not suffered through difficult circumstances growing up and he was therefore a 'pretender' in the industry ... Eminem used Bailey, his African-American childhood schoolmate, as a pawn in his effort to stem the tide of criticism.'[33] In 1982, Eminem's mother unsuccessfully sued the Roseville school district for not protecting her son, as she claimed that attacks from bullies caused him headaches, nausea, and antisocial behavior.[33] Additionally, Bailey had previously admitted to bullying Eminem in the April 1999 issue of Rolling Stone Magazine.[6] The lawsuit was dismissed by judge Deborah Servitto in 2003, who rapped in her explanation that the lyrics—which include the school principal collaborating with Bailey, and Eminem's entire brain falling out of his head—were too exaggerated for a listener to believe that they were recalling an actual event.[74] The verdict was upheld in 2005, and Bailey's lawyer ruled out any further appeals.[74]

In September 2003, 70-year-old widow Harlene Stein filed suit against Eminem and Dr. Dre on the grounds that 'Guilty Conscience' contains an unauthorized sample of 'Go Home Pigs' composed for the film Getting Straight by her husband, Ronald Stein, who died in 1988.[75] Although the album's liner notes state that the song contains an 'interpolation' of 'Go Home Pigs', Stein is not credited as a composer and his wife was not paid royalties for use of the song.[75] The lawsuit requested for 5 percent of the retail list price of 90 percent of the all copies of the record sold in America, and 2.5 percent of the retail price of 90 percent of the copies of the album sold internationally.[75]
