Tidbits of information you can only know if you're Eminem himself. He just has that sort of aura about him that pulls you in close.įrom iconic songs such as Lose Yourself and The Real Slim Shady to underrated bangers like Rock Bottom and Soldier, Eminem has left behind him the undisputed greatest Legacy in rap history, pun very much intended.ĭespite this, there's still very much that even the biggest Eminem fan won't know. Even then, if you're not a massive fan of this type of music, chances are you're still going to be an Eminem fan. He created a whole new generation of rap fans single-handedly. The album is widely regarded to be his best, and also contains the incredible Stan. Coming from his classic 2000 album, The Marshall Mathers LP, the song is a scathing commentary on the music industry and how disruptive he knows his career had been thus far. All you other Slim Shadys are just imitating. The Real Slim Shady is one of the defining songs for Eminem as an artist. eCause Im Slim Shady, yes Im the real Shady. Then theres no reason that a man and another man cant elope. That's not hyperbole either it's a straight fact. But if we can hump dead animals and antelopes. No-one in this genre of music has made more of an impact than him. In 2013 Complex ranked "Kim" at #21 on their list of the 25 most violent rap songs of all time and at #4 on their list of the 35 most depressing rap songs.Easily one of the most recognisable faces and voices in the music business, Eminem has been a cult hit for rap fans ever since he started busting a tune in the late '90s. In 2001, Robert Christgau told Rolling Stone that songs like "Kim" and Ghostface Killah's "Wildflower" employ sexist content in an artful way that offers insight into its pathology, citing them as exceptions to the usual "reflexive and violent sexism" popularized by rap and heavy metal: "he nonsense that 'Kim' advocates the murder of wives who cheat – what an absurdity, and what a disgusting absurdity on the part of people who don't give Eminem credit for being more intelligent than they are, quite frankly." 'Stan' and 'Kim' blaze significant new ground for rap. 'Kim', a prequel to '97 Bonnie and Clyde' is a shout-rapped enactment of domestic violence so real it chills. It's the most harrowing sick-love song since Guns N' Roses' ' Used to Love Her.' There's little humor to blunt the shock of the hellbent animosity of 'Kim.' What makes it powerful is that, of course, he doesn't just hate her. Things degenerate from there into the mountain of bile reserved for Kim, the mother of his baby and the star of the world's most public ongoing murder fantasy 'Kim' has Eminem screaming at his ex in an insane stream-of-consciousness hate spew. The Rolling Stone album review of The Marshall Mathers LP stated that: Problems playing this file? See media help. The production samples " When the Levee Breaks" by Led Zeppelin. "Kim" is a murder fantasy where Eminem plays both himself and the voice of his wife Kim. On the clean version of The Marshall Mathers LP, this song is replaced by a clean version of "The Kids" (an unedited version can be found on the CD single of " The Way I Am", the UK and deluxe editions of The Marshall Mathers LP). In many ways, Slim Shady seems to be the outlet for Eminem to express the more extreme side of his anger. Despite its controversial graphic content, it is often highlighted as one of Eminem's most memorable songs. He wrote it, along with " '97 Bonnie & Clyde" (where Eminem and his daughter go to the lake to dispose of Kim's dead body), when he and Kim were having relationship problems and Kim was preventing him from seeing his daughter Hailie. "Kim" was the first song Eminem recorded for the album, shortly after finishing work on The Slim Shady LP in late 1998. The song reflects intense anger and hatred toward his then-wife Kim Mathers and features Eminem imitating her voice, and ends with him killing Kim and later putting her in the trunk of his car. " Kim" is a song by American rapper Eminem that appears on his 2000 album The Marshall Mathers LP.
