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.

Top Reviews Review created: 05/06/06 by: 2 of 22 people found this review helpful. 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 Review ID: 10000000001094588 Was this review helpful? Report this review Reviews 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.

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. Review ID: 10000000005666874 Was this review helpful?

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!!
