Eminem
The Slim Shady EP
The Slim Shady EP is a demo album released by the
rapper
Eminem in
1997 on Web Entertainment. It was released on cassette and about 150 CDs were
pressed as well. 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. 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.
Eminem 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, and over-the-top violence. His flow is also noticeably different, as on
Infinite he was accused of sounding too much like
Nas and AZ. The Slim Shady EP gained significant underground popularity and
eventually garnered the attention of Dr. Dre, who subsequently signed Eminem to
his Aftermath label and executive-produced
The Slim Shady LP.
Upon the release of this album, underground
New York rapper Cage
accused Eminem of copying his style; the two exchanged disses early in Eminem's
career. For more information, see
