Album Notes
Personnel includes: Eminem, Kristie Abete Swift, Dina Rae (vocals); Richard "Segal" Huredia (spoken vocals); Jeff Bass (various instruments); Mel-Man, DJ Head, Denine Porter (drum programming); Paul "Bunyan" Rosenberg, Zoe Winkler, Marky Bass, Aristotle, Royce Da 5-9.Producers include: Dr. Dre, M. Mathers, Marky Bass, Jeff Bass, Mel Man.Engineers include: Blumpy, Aaron Lepley, Alan Mason.THE SLIM SHADY LP won the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Rap Album. "My Name Is" won the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Rap Solo Performance.You'll need a well-developed sense of humor to fully appreciate the debut of Eminem a.k.a. Slim Shady. Produced by hip-hop super-producer Dr. Dre and released on Dre's Aftermath Records, the album features an infectious lead single, "My Name Is," a winning mixture of alternative rock and rap. One listen will have you hooked on the chorus, but future plays will reveal the lyrical gymnastics that Eminem kicks out so effortlessly. Obsessed with fantasies of sex, violence, drugs and a general depraved indifference to life itself, Eminem's alter ego Slim Shady is constantly involved in a battle of good vs. evil leavened by a high degree of irony. You'll need a few listens to absorb everything that Eminem is about lyrically. SLIM SHADY might offend the faint-hearted, but that's probably Eminem's intention.

Q (01/01/2000)

Included in The Source's Top 10 Albums of the Year [1999].
The Source (02/01/2000)

4 stars (out of 5) - ...By far the most distressing thing about THE SLIM SHADY LP is how seductive it is - largely due to Dr Dre's production work, it captivates and thrills, and this is an unavoidably amazing body of work...
Melody Maker (05/01/1999)

...Pairing Redman's gutter humor and metaphorical dexterity with Canibus' raging themes, the Detroit native has matched the high expectations surrounding his brilliant new album...
CMJ (02/08/1999)

8 (out of 10) - ...Eminem [aka Marshall Mathers] is humorous enough to be an honorary Beastie goy, and his scenarios are so far-fetched the songs almost never sound as ugly as they actually are. Mathers's hard-knock raps translate hip-hop for folks with Wu-Tang decoder rings, articulating suburban anger and violent apathy through the lens of white kids' experience...
Spin (05/01/1999)

3 1/2 Stars (out of 5) ...Eminem earns his buzz as a bona fide rap star one tasteless insult at a time, battling the world with a mouthful of adjectives and a boxful of laxatives.
Rolling Stone (04/01/1999)

3 Stars (out of 5) - ...It's dazzlingly funny and gloriously offensive...

i actually bought this as an art project exploring the cultural side of chavs and scallies, looking at all you scumbags who love this complete tripe, i listened to the album and am not impressed, its just far too aggressive to appreciate as music, as a story its a rather tragic tale but the man is a moron, buy it for a laugh

  A Brilliant Album !!!
Review created: 10/08/08

I consider this and The Marshall Mathers LP to be Eminems best work. Every track is great and you'll enjoy this album from the beginning through to the end numerous times. Appearances from Dr. Dre & Royce Da 5'9" really add to the album and coupled with Eminems lyrical ability & flow add up to an incredible album, one to be enjoyed over and over again.

  The Slim Shady LP *****
Review created: 15/02/08

Eminem's first commerical sucess, the result of his alter-ego rants at life as a 90s man in his 20s with a notebook full of rhymes and young child to support, and a chance meeting with the ailing DR Dre.

With insight rare in hip-hop since the days of NWA and other founding fathers of the genre, Eminem takes the listener on a journey through his life, from a trailer in Detroit to dead-end jobs, from going to clubs to the startings of fame.

The best songs on this album seemed to be drown in controversy on release, but songs such as 'If I Had', 'Role Model' and 97' Bonnie & Clyde are classics among Em's real fans, and are well worth a listen whenever the chips are down.

The album as a whole has a nice feel, never getting too melancholy thanks to some great up-beat sounds. It really is a cd for all occasions, often laugh-out-loud funny as well as heart-wrenchingly tragic.

A must for everyone.

The Slim Shady LP, is a fantastic album by Eminem. Its his second album, although it's his first album to be widely acknowladged. The album has clever rhymes and good beats, several world wide hits, and a variation on music throught the album.

There's nothing else like it, its well worth its money!!
