This sometime-merry menace has been imitated countless times since, but no one can do it as well because Em made it look so good.īack in November, Eminem dropped a surprise range of new merch, including collectible action figures and all-black clothing. The new merch arrived as part of Eminem’s Black Friday collection. What was thrilling to some – and grisly to others – was the authenticity with which Eminem managed to portray himself (or himselves, depending) as this morally derelict prankster – some Loony Tunes version of Hannibal Lecter who would chug a 40 with you and then bludgeon you to death with the bottle. Compared to his later releases, The Slim Shady LP feels understated and almost sparse, but it offers a rare and surprisingly fleeting glimpse at the pre-fame version of the pop-culture terrorist who would put MTV on its heels. Arriving on February 23, 1999, The Slim Shady LP marked Eminem’s major-label debut and functioned as a warning shot from the man who would go on to become the most dangerous MC on the planet.
