Upon joining
Aftermath Entertainment,
Eminem released
The Slim Shady LP, which would eventually be certified 4x
platinum. "My Name Is" was the first single off the album.
Upon its release, there were several complaints about The Slim Shady LP's
lyrical content. The song "Guilty Conscience" (the album's second single) ends
with Eminem and
Dr. Dre encouraging a man to murder his wife and her lover. "Guilty
Conscience" was also the birth of Dr. Dre and Eminem's powerful and beloved duo.
In "'97 Bonnie & Clyde," Eminem raps about disposing of his wife's body while
his baby daughter rides along in his car.
Most songs feature substantial amounts of cussing, numerous references to sex
and drugs, and over-the-top, cartoonish descriptions of violence. Fans of the
album have generally defended it by saying that the lyrics are not meant to be
taken seriously. Eminem himself has referenced "Slim Shady" as an exaggerated
persona.
Dr. Dre produced both singles on the album ("My
Name Is" and "Guilty
Conscience") and also produced "Role Model" with Mel-Man. The rest of the
album was produced by the
Bass
Brothers for the Detroit-based FBT Productions as well as Eminem himself.
