    Em was dirt poor, almost starving to death, unable to provide for his family. This album failed to sell even 1000 copies. He overdosed and almost died in 97. He had to keep going somehow for the next year. Then Dre found the Slim Shady EP completely by chance and signed him. All of a sudden he was the most talked about rapper in the world. He managed to deliver 3 amazing classic albums in this time, but he was struggling to cope with the fame. All this time he had been in an on-and-off mutually abusive relationship. He got addicted to sleeping pills, and a combination of the drugs inhibiting his ability to write great lyrics and some songs being leaked lead to Encore being a disappointing album. He went on hiatus at this point, struggling greatly with his addiction. He tried to re-marry his ex-wife only to end up divorcing her again the same year, and around this time his best friend died. Finally, he had another near-fatal overdose in late 2007. After going through rehab, he's now been 12 years sober and released 6 albums in this time, becoming the only artist in history to have ten consecutive albums debut at number one in the charts. You hear his voice on this track sounding so young and you know all the stuff he's about to go through, but also how he's going to come out of it alright in the end.

      It’s because he sounded too much like AZ (and also because it’s hard to get an album noticed of course). Back then, if you sounded similar to another artist, you weren’t taken as seriously. Being unique mattered back then. I think this album failing is one of the best things to happen to him artistically as it led to him creating the Slim Shady persona and sound.

    Eye-Kyu: Check it out
    Eminem: Hey Kyu!
    Eye-Kyu:
    It's a broke day but everything is ok (It's ok)
    I'm up all night, but everything is alright (It's alright)
    It's a rough week, and I don't get enough sleep (I can't sleep)
    It's a long year pretending I belong here (Belong here)
    It's a broke day but everything is ok (It's ok)
    I'm up all night, but everything is alright (It's alright)
    It's a rough week, and I don't get enough sleep (I can't sleep)
    It's a long year pretending I belong here (Belong here)
    1: Eminem
    One day I plan to be a family man happily married
    I wanna grow to be so old that I have to be carried
    Till I'm glad to be buried
    And leave this crazy world
    And have at least a half a million for my baby girl
    It may be early to be planning this stuff
    Cause I'm still struggling hard to be the man, and it's tough
    Cause man it's been rough, but still I manage enough
    I've been taken advantage of, damaged and scuffed
    My hands have been cuffed
    But I don't panic and huff, frantic and puff
    Or plan to give up, the minute shit hits the fan it erupts
    I'm anteing up double or nothing, I've been trouble enough
    And I'm sick of struggling and suffering, see
    My destiny's to rest at ease, till I'm impressed and pleased
    With my progress, I won't settle for less than cheese
    I'm on a quest to seize all, my own label to call
    Way before my baby is able to crawl
    I'm too stable to fall, the pressure motivates
    To know I hold the weight of boulders on my shoulder blades
    I seen the golden gates to heaven on Earth
    Where they don't pull a weapon on you when you stepping on turf, Q
    Eye-Kyu:
    It's a broke day but everything is ok (It's ok)
    I'm up all night, but everything is alright (It's alright)
    It's a rough week, and I don't get enough sleep (I can't sleep)
    It's a long year pretending I belong here (Belong here)
    It's a broke day but everything is ok (It's ok)
    I'm up all night, but everything is alright (It's alright)
    It's a rough week, and I don't get enough sleep (I can't sleep)
    It's a long year pretending I belong here (Belong here)
    2: Eminem
    I'm going for broke, gambling and playing for keeps
    Everyday in the streets, scrambling and paying for cheep
    Praying for sleep
    Dreaming with a watering mouth
    Wishing for a better life for my daughter and spouse
    In this slaughtering house, caught up in bouts
    With the root of all evil
    I've seen it turn beautiful people crude and deceitful
    And make them do shit illegal
    For these Grant's and Jackson's
    These transactions explain a man's actions
    But in the mist of this insanity, I found my Christianity
    Through God and there's a wish he granted me
    He showed me how to cope with the stress
    And hope for the best, instead of mope and depressed
    Always groping a mess, of flying over the nest
    To selling dope with the rest
    I quit smoking cess to open my chest
    Life is stressful inside this cesspool
    Trying to wrestle, I almost bust a blood vessel
    My little brother's trying to learn his mathematics
    He's asthmatic, running home from school away from crack addicts
    Kids attract static, children with automatics
    Taking target practice on teens for Starter Jackets
    I'm using smarter tactics to overcome this slum
    I won't become as dumb as some and succumb to scum
    It's cumbersome, I'm trying to do well on this Earth
    But it's been Hell on this Earth since I fell on this Earth
    Eye-Kyu:
    It's a broke day but everything is ok (It's ok)
    I'm up all night, but everything is alright (It's alright)
    It's a rough week, and I don't get enough sleep (I can't sleep)
    It's a long year pretending I belong here (Belong here)
    It's a broke day but everything is ok (It's ok)
    I'm up all night, but everything is alright (It's alright)
    It's a rough week, and I don't get enough sleep (I can't sleep)
    It's a long year pretending I belong here (Belong here)
    Uh, it's ok, yeah it's alright, even though I can't sleep
    Uh yeah, it's ok, it

    Forget everything else if ya really like really listen to this album ya should know loud and clear that this man is goat. Plus his other work is pretty match unmatchable. Word plays, double meaning and knowing when to switch flow is very rare and he is the only rapper that can rap about anything or anyone cause when it comes to versatility no one can match him but much respect to the real ones tho. #Goat
