In 1996, his debut album, which was recorded at the Bassmint, a recording studio owned by the, was released under their independent record label. Infinite achieved very little commercial success and was largely ignored by Detroit radio stations. The disappointment from this experience greatly influenced his lyrical style: 'After that record, every rhyme I wrote got angrier and angrier.
A lot of it was because of the feedback I got. Motherfuckers was like, 'You're a white boy, what the fuck are you rapping for?
Why don't you go into rock & roll?' All that type of shit started pissing me off.' After the release of Infinite, Eminem's personal struggles and abuse of drugs and alcohol culminated in an unsuccessful suicide attempt. The disappointment of Infinite inspired Eminem to create the Slim Shady: 'Boom, the name hit me, and right away I thought of all these words to rhyme with it.' Slim Shady served as Eminem's vent for his frustrations, and in the spring of 1997, he recorded the eight-song extended play. During this time, Eminem and his girlfriend Kim Scott lived in a high-crime neighborhood with their newborn daughter Hailie, where their house was burglarized numerous times.

Eminem, who had idolized Dr. Dre since listening to his group as a teenager, was nervous to work with him on the album: 'I didn't want to be starstruck or kiss his ass too much. I'm just a little white boy from Detroit.
I had never seen stars, let alone Dr. However, Eminem became more comfortable working with Dr. Dre after a series of highly productive recording sessions. The recording process generally began with Dr.
Dre creating a beat and Eminem using the tracks as a template for his; 'Every beat he would make, I had a rhyme for', Eminem recalled. He later said: 'Every time I sat down with a pen, everything was just like: fuck you, fuck this, fuck them, fuck that, fuck the world, fuck what everybody thinks. ' On the first day of recording, Eminem and Dr. Dre finished ' in an hour.
Three other songs, including 'Role Model', were also recorded that day. ', which was formerly featured on the Slim Shady EP as 'Just the Two of Us', was rerecorded for The Slim Shady LP to feature his daughter Hailie's vocals. Because the song focuses on disposing of his girlfriend's corpse, Eminem was not comfortable with explaining the situation to Kim, and instead told her that he would be taking Hailie to. However, he really took her to the recording studio.
He explained, 'When she found out I used our daughter to write a song about killing her, she fucking blew. We had just got back together for a couple of weeks. Then I played her the song and she bugged the fuck out.' Eminem also said, 'When she (Hailie) gets old enough, I'm going to explain it to her. I'll let her know that Mommy and Daddy weren't getting along at the time. None of it was to be taken too literally, although at the time I wanted to fucking do it.'
The song ' contains a humorous reference to an occasion in which Dr. Dre assaulted rapper.
Having only known Dr. Dre for a few days, Eminem was anxious about how he would react to such a line, and to his relief, Dr. Dre 'fell out of his chair laughing' upon hearing the lyric. 'Ken Kaniff', a skit involving a prank call to Eminem, featured fellow Detroit rapper Aristotle. After a falling out between the two in the wake of Eminem's breakthrough success, Eminem instead played Ken Kaniff on skits on future albums. Another skit, 'Bitch', is an answering machine message in which Zoe Winkler, daughter of actor, tells a friend that she was disgusted by Eminem's music.
He met and had dinner with her in order to get permission to use the recording on the album. While Eminem was mixing The Slim Shady LP, at the same time, was recording his fourth studio album,; being friends with Kid Rock, Eminem asked Kid Rock to record for Eminem's song 'My Fault', which appears on The Slim Shady LP; in return, Eminem delivered a guest rap verse on Kid Rock's song 'Fuck Off' for Devil Without a Cause.

Kyle Anderson of wrote that 'The beats are full of bass-heavy hallucinations and create huge, scary sandboxes that allow Em to play.'

'Cum on Everybody'; which features guest vocals from American singer Dina Rae contains an upbeat dance rhythm, while 'My Name Is', which is built around a piano 'sample' from British musician 's 'I Got The', features a prominent and -style keyboards.
'I'm Shady' was originally written over a track, but after hearing a 'sample' of 's 'Pusherman' in 's song ', Eminem decided it would be more fitting to use 'Pusherman'. Eminem's vocal inflection on the record has been described as a 'nasal whine'; Jon Pareles of likened his 'calmly sarcastic delivery' to 'the early turned cynical'. Writing for the, columnist Greg Kot compared the rapper's vocals to ' with a nasal Midwestern accent'. A skit entitled 'Lounge' appears before 'My Fault' featuring Eminem and the Bass Brothers imitating crooners. Jeff Bass came up with the line 'I never meant to give you mushrooms' for the skit, which in turn inspired Eminem to write 'My Fault'. Lyrical themes. This song talks about Eminem's past troubles with money.
This and many other themes are the basis for the album. Problems playing this file? Many of the songs from The Slim Shady LP are written from the perspective of Eminem's alter ego, Slim Shady, and contain cartoonish and over-the-top depictions of violence, which he refers to as 'made-up tales of trailer-park stuff'. The rapper explained that this subject matter is intended for entertainment value, likening his music to the genre: 'Why can't people see that records can be like movies? The only difference between some of my raps and movies is that they aren't on a screen.' Some of the lyrics have also been considered to be by critics and commentators.
Eminem acknowledged the accusations, and clarified, 'I have a fairly salty relationship with women. But most of the time, when I'm saying shit about women, when I'm saying 'bitches' and 'hoes', it's so ridiculous that I'm taking the stereotypical rapper to the extreme.
I don't hate women in general. They just make me mad sometimes.' ' Despite the album's explicit nature, Eminem refused to say the word ' on the album, with the rapper noting, 'It's not in my vocabulary.' The Slim Shady LP begins with a 'Public Service Announcement' introduction performed by producer Jeff Bass of the Bass Brothers, and serves as a sarcastic discussing the album's explicit lyrical content. Later in the album, a skit entitled 'Paul' features a phone call from to Eminem telling him to 'tone down' his lyrics. 'Guilty Conscience' is a concept song featuring Dr.
The song focuses on a series of characters who are faced with various situations, while Dr. Dre and Eminem serve as the 'angel' and 'devil' sides of the characters' conscience, respectively. The song draws inspiration from a scene in the 1978 comedy film, in which a man takes advice from an angel and devil on his shoulder while considering raping an unconscious girl at a party.
In the film, he ends up deciding not to go through with the rape, but in 'Guilty Conscience', the outcome is unclear. On 'My Fault', Eminem tells the story of a girl who overdoses on at a.

Eminem wrote the song at a time in which he felt that Kim was stopping him from seeing his daughter. Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic explained that 'There have been more violent songs in rap, but few more disturbing, and it's not because of what it describes, it's how he describes it - how the perfectly modulated phrasing enhances the horror and black humor of his words.' On the song 'Brain Damage', Eminem discusses his childhood experiences with bullies at school.
Although many of the lyrics on the album are intended to be humorous, several songs depict Eminem's frustrations with living in poverty. When discussing The Slim Shady LP, Anthony Bozza of Rolling Stone described Eminem as 'probably the only MC in 1999 who boasts low self-esteem.
His rhymes are jaw-droppingly perverse, bespeaking a minimum-wage life devoid of hope, flushed with rage and weaned on sci-fi and slasher flicks.' Eminem was inspired to write 'Rock Bottom' after being fired from his cooking job at a restaurant days before his daughter's birthday. The song bemoans human dependency on money, discussing its ability to brainwash an individual. He illustrates his struggles to provide for his daughter, describing himself as 'discouraged, hungry, and malnourished.' 'If I Had' follows a similar theme, as he describes living on minimum wage and remarks that he is 'tired of jobs starting off at $5.50 an hour'. In the song, he expresses his irritation with fitting the 'white trash' stereotype.

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of gave the album five stars out of five, praising the rapper's 'expansive vocabulary and vivid imagination', adding that 'Years later, as the shock has faded, it's those lyrical skills and the subtle mastery of the music that still resonate, and they're what make The Slim Shady LP one of the great debuts in both hip-hop and modern pop music.' David Browne of described the album's 'unapologetic outrageousness' as a reaction to the 'soul positivity' of, noting that ' The Slim Shady LP marks the return of irreverent, wiseass attitude to the genre, heard throughout the album in its nonstop barrage of crudely funny rhymes. Even pop fans deadened to graphic lyrics are likely to flinch.' Soren Baker of the gave the album three and a half stars out of four and stated that 'He isn't afraid to say anything; his lyrics are so clever that he makes murder sound as if it's a funny act he may indulge in simply to pass the time' but lamented the 'sometimes flat production that takes away from the power of Eminem's verbal mayhem.' Many reviewers commented on the album's lyrical content. Gilbert Rodman of states, 'Eminem's music contains more than its fair share of misogynistic and homo-phobic lyrics, but simply to reduce it to these (as many critics do) doesn't help to explain Eminem. It merely invokes a platitude or a sound bite to explain him away.'
Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone enjoyed the record's comedic nature, writing 'Simply put: Eminem will crack you up', but also felt that the misogynistic lyrics grow tiresome, noting that 'the wife-killing jokes of '97 Bonnie and Clyde' aren't any funnier than ', and 'My Fault' belongs on some sorry-ass record.' Nathan Rabin of felt that although the album is 'sophomoric and uninspired' at times, Eminem's 'surreal, ultraviolent, trailer-trash/post-gangsta-rap extremism is at least a breath of fresh air in a rap world that's despairingly low on new ideas.' Mike Rubin of noted that 'his scenarios are so far-fetched the songs almost never sound as ugly as they actually are.' Chris Dafoe of opined that 'Abused by fellow students and teachers, cheated on by his girlfriend, despised by society, Shady goes over the top now and then - or rather way over the top - but Dre's lean production, full of strange voice and comic interjections, hold things together.'

Aftermath. The success of the album transformed Eminem into an international celebrity. Pictured in a concert in, Germany in October 1999 After the success of The Slim Shady LP, Eminem went from an underground rapper into a high-profile celebrity.
Awarded him with his own record label,; the first artist Eminem signed was rapper and his best friend. Eminem, who had previously struggled to provide for his daughter, noted a drastic change in his lifestyle: 'This last Christmas, there were so many fucking presents under the tree. My daughter wasn't born with a silver spoon in her mouth. But she's got one now.
I can't stop myself from spoiling her.' To promote The Slim Shady LP, Eminem embarked on an extensive tour schedule. He joined the as a last-minute replacement for, a schedule that included 31 North American dates from June 25 to July 31, beginning in San Antonio and ending in Miami. He often played a show in the afternoon on the Warped Tour, and then drove to another location to perform at a hip hop club at night.
During a performance in Hartford, Connecticut near the end of the Warped Tour, Eminem slipped on a puddle of liquid and fell ten feet down off the stage, cracking several ribs. He recalled that the stress of his newfound fame led him to drink excessively, and reflected, 'I knew I had to slow it down. The fall was like a reminder.'
However, after receiving medical attention, he was well enough to travel to New York the following day for a performance on. Eminem also became a highly controversial figure due to his lyrical content. He was labeled as 'misogynist, a nihilist and an advocate of domestic violence', and in an editorial by Billboard editor in chief, the writer accused Eminem of 'making money by exploiting the world's misery.' During a radio interview in San Francisco, Eminem reportedly angered local DJ Sista Tamu due to a about 'slapping a pregnant bitch' to the extent that on air she broke a copy of The Slim Shady LP.
The rapper defended himself by saying, 'My album isn't for younger kids to hear. It has an advisory sticker, and you must be eighteen to get it. That doesn't mean younger kids won't get it, but I'm not responsible for every kid out there. I'm not a role model, and I don't claim to be.' Lawsuits On September 17, 1999, Eminem's mother, Deborah Nelson, filed a $10 million lawsuit against him for based on his claim that she uses drugs in the line 'I just found out my mom does more dope than I do' from 'My Name Is'.
After a two-year-long trial, she was awarded $25,000, of which she received $1,600 after legal fees. Eminem was not surprised that his mother had filed the lawsuit against him, referring to her as a 'lawsuit queen', and alleging that 'That's how she makes money. When I was five, she had a job on the cash register at a store that sold chips and soda. Other than that, I don't remember her working a day in her life.' She later filed another lawsuit against him for emotional damages suffered during the first trial, which was later dismissed.
In December 2001, DeAngelo Bailey, a janitor living in who was made the subject of the song 'Brain Damage' in which he is portrayed as a school bully, filed a $1 million lawsuit against Eminem for slander and. Bailey's attorney stated 'Eminem is a Caucasian male who faced criticism within the music industry that he had not suffered through difficult circumstances growing up and he was therefore a 'pretender' in the industry. Eminem used Bailey, his African-American childhood schoolmate, as a pawn in his effort to stem the tide of criticism.'
In 1982, Eminem's mother unsuccessfully sued the Roseville school district for not protecting her son, as she claimed that attacks from bullies caused him headaches, nausea, and antisocial behavior. Additionally, Bailey had previously admitted to bullying Eminem in the April 1999 issue of Rolling Stone Magazine. The lawsuit was dismissed by judge in 2003, who rapped in her explanation that the lyrics—which include the school principal collaborating with Bailey, and Eminem's entire brain falling out of his head—were too exaggerated for a listener to believe that they were recalling an actual event.
The verdict was upheld in 2005, and Bailey's lawyer ruled out any further appeals. In September 2003, 70-year-old widow Harlene Stein filed suit against Eminem and Dr. Dre on the grounds that 'Guilty Conscience' contains an unauthorized sample of 'Go Home Pigs' composed for the film by her husband, who died in 1988. Although the album's liner notes state that the song contains an 'interpolation' of 'Go Home Pigs', Stein is not credited as a composer and his wife was not paid royalties for use of the song. The lawsuit requested for 5 percent of the retail list price of 90 percent of the all copies of the record sold in America, and 2.5 percent of the retail price of 90 percent of the copies of the album sold internationally.
