Eminem slim shady ep cover trial#
Ireland Baldwin slams Amber Heard as a 'disaster human being' who used her 'very womanhood to turn the world against the man' over Johnny Depp trial Samples "Just the Two of Us" by Grover Washington, Jr.'I definitely want to have kids': The Handmaid's Tale star Elisabeth Moss reveals she is getting broody as she approaches her 40th birthday."Just the Two of Us" (Produced by DJ Head)."Just Don't Give a Fuck" (Produced by Denaun Porter)."Intro (Slim Shady)" (Produced by Eminem).It should be noted that there were multiple underground "shock rappers" (known sometimes as "acid rap") in Detroit (Eminem's hometown) at the time such as Esham, so depicting violence, drug use, or sex in underground rap was not something unique to Cage. The two exchanged minor disses early in Eminem's career. Upon the release of the album, white underground New York rapper Cage accused Eminem of copying his style, claiming the "Slim Shady" persona had adapted the over-the-top violence and perversion that Cage had become known for in the underground hip-hop circuit with the recent release of his single "Agent Orange." Certain hip-hop fans have also interpreted similarities between Cage and Eminem's nasal tone as well as Eminem's new flow on this album and Cage's flow.
By the second track, Eminem and Slim Shady become the same person. Eminem resists and screams in the background while Slim Shady yells back and laughs at Eminem's horror. The album cover depicts the opening skit as well as the first track, in which Slim Shady (a character which Eminem apparently "killed" in the past) awakens Eminem and orders him to look in the mirror to see that he is "nothing without him".
Dre, who subsequently signed Eminem to his fledgling Aftermath label and executive-produced his breakthrough major-label debut The Slim Shady LP. Unlike Infinite, The Slim Shady EP gained Eminem significant underground attention and eventually garnered the interest of Interscope founder Jimmy Iovine and famous West Coast hip-hop producer Dr. Porter - was also noticeably higher than on his prior efforts. The production value of the music on the tracks - from previous collaborators DJ Head, The Bass Brothers, and Mr. His flow is also noticeably different than on Infinite (where critics claimed he sounded too much like Nas and AZ), utilizing more a more complex rhyme structure and clever story telling.
Another departure was his exploration of more serious themes of dealing with poverty, his direct and self-deprecating response to criticism, and of marital and familial difficulties. Modified versions of the tracks "Just Don't Give A Fuck", "Mommy"/"Just the Two of Us" (as "97 Bonnie & Clyde"), and "If I Had" appeared on 1999's The Slim Shady LP.Įminem first introduced his "Slim Shady" persona on this EP, and his lyrics are a marked departure from those found on Infinite, featuring constant references to drug use, perverted sexual acts, mental instability, and over-the-top violence. The demo is very highly sought after and an original cassette will reach over US$500 on eBay - however, it was pirated extensively since Eminem became famous, and legitimate copies are extremely rare and difficult to authenticate. It was released on cassette and about 150 CDs were pressed as well. The Slim Shady EP is a demo album released by the rapper Eminem in 1997 on Web Entertainment.
