You are very perceptive and correct about Eminem's dark sense of humor. Slim Shady is an outlet for that darkness I think. But my take is Em was an emotionally tortured individual by life and family problems at this time that fed a major drug addiction that eventually nearly killed him. He's doing much better these days✌
PRE-EDIT: To answer your question about the production, the only ones on here that were Dre produced were My Name Is, Guilty Conscience, and Role Model. Contrary to popular belief it wasn't Dre's production that gave Em his signature sound it was actually Mark & Jeff Bass (aka The Bass Brothers aka FBT Productions) ALL the other songs on this album are Bass Bros prod There's also a really neat concept between The Eminem Show and Encore. I've always found it interesting that despite them having very obviously related covers, nobody talks about these being a double album. The Eminem show starts with the curtains going up as he goes on stage and ends with the "Rub my back" skit, but then the first track on Encore starts with everyone welcoming him back to the stage and chanting his name. Track 9 is a voicemail from Paul talking about a rumour that Eminem has a gun, then a couple tracks later is a hilarious skit where Eminem says "I have an idea for the end of the show, oh and btw no I don't have a gun" and then cocks it on the recording lmao. Then during "Final Thought skit" you hear him getting ready to go on stage while checking that his gun is loaded. At the end of Curtain Call he says goodbye to the crowd but then pulls the gun out shooting multiple members of the audience and then killing himself. This really marks the end of what a lot of people refer to as the "Slim Shady era" or the "Classic Em era" and provides a full circle experience from Slim Shady to Encore. If you want to take the concept even further you could imagine the gap between Encore and Relapse is that he didn't actually die, he was rushed to hospital, relapsed back into drugs and then we have Relapse which is where Slim Shady pretty much fully takes over for the entire album. After that, he finally gets clean and does Recovery which has a very distinct absence of Shady influenced tracks aside from Untitled which is in my opinion the last song he ever did that sounds like it belongs in the "Classic Em Era"
He did, but he also encouraged him to write to a young White male audience on the Slim Shady LP because he knew: A. It was an untapped gold mine B. It would be the safest route to pursue for the first album after the 1+ year conflict Dre encountered at every turn when trying to sign Eminem upon discovering him Dre knew that no matter how brilliant their first album was, it was going to be DOA with a black audience regardless. Dre lamented the racially motivated roadblocks hip hop was placing in front of him just trying to sign him- let alone actually hearing his music. So Dre made the strategic calculation to market Em heavily through MTV's T.R.L. (Total Request Live) with it's White teenaged audience instead of the traditional press blitz through BET and hip hop radio stations. And guess what? It paid out HUGE dividends. Dr. Dre now had the most profitable artist in all of hip hop in his hands.
Nice reaction! This is Em's 1st full length album. People actually picketed SLIM SHADY back then because of his lyrical content. But just like the he said, "I just don't give a F!" was his mantra. Hope U check out THE MARSHAL MATHERS LP & THE EMINEM SHOW (both are considered classics). THE EMINEM SHOW is one of my personal FAVS. Good Luck & Njoy! 😎👍
When this album came out in 99 i was about 13-14 and tbh this was probably my fave version of Slim Shady! fave tracks from the album would be... Guilty Conscience, Brain Damage, Bad Meets Evil, Role Model, Rock Bottom, My Name Is, 97 Bonnie n Clyde.
Before you get too deep into Em you should check out where it began with “Infinite” 🔥 And Between the MMLP and Eminem Show is a treasure trove of diss tracks at JaRule , Benzino (Source magazine), Nick and Mariah, Everlast “Whitey Ford” etc etc ect 😂
React to Lazarus new song “Scalpel” produced by Denaun Porter of Shady Records. Just came out, most lyrical song in years!! No Life Shaq just did a reaction, Tech N9ne posted it too! It’s almost 2 million views. 🔥🔥

yesss, its so interesting to see an rapper just make such a different kind of album about an alter ego

I feel really bad that you got all this hate. At the same time why would people want to watch anyone on their phone?
LOL
How are you going to make a reaction but be on your phone to the point of having to rewind because you weren't paying attention
Watching you yawn and scroll your phone is not all that entertaining 😴
Then don’t watch 😌
But I will do better, that’s something I’ve gotten better at
When from j Cole to j fold in two comments lol
